I've lived my life, hanging onto the edge
walking the ledge
tight roping on a razor in reverse
betting against the odds
taking on the gods
playing the lottery of the universe
Always took the long shot
never got caught
although many said stop
even when I lost
never paid the cost
I always came out on top
I've ridden a bucking bull
swam in a whirlpool
walked in a lion's den
accused in a court
dodged bullets for sport
lived life to its fullest amongst men

And may you do some more for a very long time to come sir. A fabulous poem that sped up as I read it, living life on the edge teaches us so very much. ❤️
Thank you Teddy for the review and most kind words. Yes we only live it once and we have to wring every moment out of it.
Absolutely agreed ❤️
Down here they legislate against risk taking.
Doesn't matter if you don't get caught. Thanks for the review and comment. Made me smile.
May that fulfilled life continue for a long time to come soren.

Thank you Andy my friend. I appreciate the review and kind wishes.
we're in-sync again in our posts my friend
lift them syllable weights
pump those positivity muscles
ink those knockout metaphors
claim your belt and reign supreme!
i'll be in your corner
iced towels and Vaseline in-hand!
Thank you most dear friend. I need all the support I can get as the rounds go on and my aging legs weaken. Your encouraging words humble me. If knocked out I'll try to write a few words on the canvas.
The lottery of the universe paints a vivid image. And for years of alcohol and drug abuse I spun the wheel of chance, only to land on the gift of sobriety which gives me the winning ticket. I really enjoy your work.
Thank you Gray for the read. Another old one but I always been lucky when it comes to what counts. Appreciate your attention to my older pieces.
