A game of gamble
thrown a dice
dimes woven on betting lines
the stakes seem high
but riskier it may
can’t call of the day
one not risking
might keep drinking
drinking the conscious life
why not make a dive
thrown all are insecurities of life
the stakes seem high
diamonds and gold
what to hold
maybe in future meant to be sold
The clouds seem covered
lets make it blind
you guess
play it right
cause in a game
maybe chances more
but in life
only have once to score
stakes seems high
counting the nights
how many days of playing high
dont know what’s left behind
in race of reaching peak
don’t forget; why you started please
the game started with caution
yet over enthusiastic self
ignored the genuine notion
now it blames on loosing lines
leap and dive
after knowing rules
Health complements wealth
everyone says
must remember everyday
but not to forget
to keep that health alive
unfortunately
you need stacks of green
cards swiping on streets
play the game
stay in game
and may all rule the game
its not surpassing others
but living with others everyday

That last stanza is so very true spilleronsheet.
Andy
Thanks dear Andy
Much appreciated
Very true Spiller and I hear your words. But my cynical nature always thinks that there's some one out there who knows the rules better than me haha
That’s not being cynical but being competitive I guess and it’s a good sign
Competitive? Eek I bet you I'm not.
Very true words.
Thanks dear Rozina
A fantastic poetical tale of caution and realisation here spilleronsheet.
I used to be a "horse man", but as you've beautifully outlined in this poem, it's important to follow your own code of conduct/common sense, rather than follow the "rules" of their dangerous game.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
Thanks dear AuburnScribbler
It sure is
If one understands the game they will be ahead
'in race of reaching peak
don’t forget;
why you started please
the game started with caution
but, an over enthusiastic self
may ignore that crucial notion'..
(another intriguing write
demonstrating some deep levels
of self-reflection and insight)
wording, may need slight refringent
but your poetry
is perfectly fine, just as it is
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
Thanks dear Mek
Glad you liked it
Next time a more flowing poetry i shall write
If we have our health we are already winners better not to gamble on it and rather keep it safe. ☺
That is true
Yep gambling no good
But everyday aren’t we gambling
Risking something everyday for living
Dear Spiller, You started your game and please don't stop it...Let it go on...Wonderful interweave of words and notion !! Thanks for spilling such wonderful lines for us ...And looking for more from you !!

Burn the oil to achieve the dreams wedded in eyes
