Roll of the dice

sorenbarrett

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.

      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.

          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.

                    A 5 bullet Russian roulette. Can't win, can't loose. A poets muse.

                      Fine words soren, that empty chamber has always seemed to be the one that I fire.
