Love is playing Russian roulette with five chambers loaded
Give it a spin, pull the trigger, see if you'll win, or if your phallic hope exploded
Play the game, take a chance, guess which chamber is empty
Smooth, slippery, naked cartridges, the sirens in this gun tempt me
In some games there is a dud
When the hammer hits it there is only a thud
With this click comes a sense of liberty
None the less, it is the bang that sets me free

Oh yes, don't you just love, love 🤣 superb imagery and emotionally and physically felt this. Once the gun goes off anything can happen. 🌹 Brilliant.
Thanks so much Teddy. Yes one never knows until after the fact. Appreciate the read and comment my friend
Brings out the shadowy cast of this reader. It has brought an alteration to the old ticker 🙏🏻🕊️
Thanks Cryptic for the read and comment. Shadowy is a good word. Some live and some loose in love and life.
Interesting. I will keep ponder these thoughts and see where they lead 🙏🏻🕊
I'm sure someone one was cheating when they played a dice betting game with me. Their (single) dice kept rolling a 7. Eh?! lol.
That was the same guy that had a two headed coin. Thanks Orch for the read and comment its appreciated

And such is life
Thank you for the read and comment it is always appreciated
Soren, your poem is a masterpiece, transcending. It transcends time to capture the essence of love and risk that, which resonates deeply across various contexts and eras. The powerful metaphor of Russian roulette conveys the exhilarating thrill and potential heartbreak that can accompany romantic relationships, illuminating the uncertainty and emotional stakes involved. You inspire a person to contemplate the profound beauty and danger of emotional investment, reflecting on the paradox of seeking liberation and joy through a potentially transformative force.
This was a most amazing interpretation that is as deep or deeper than the poem itself poetic in form as well. Thank you very much for the read and most kind words they are most appreciated
You are so welcome, Soren, and I appreciate your compliment as well,
Yes. It certainly is. What else can be said. Great metaphor that speaks truth. An easy fave! 🌹👏
