Roulette

This is how all of it seems to me.
Diving headfirst into shallow sea.

No fickle foot first the depth to plumb.
No temp testing, just flying numb.

Paced like an REM requiem.
No “safer than sorry” axiom.

All past misfortunes seem wiped from mind.
Desperate for coupling to be defined.

All seems chaos deliberately churned.
Distractions clung to, not corners turned.

Life’s for living & we all do us.
But, all of it reads as blunderbuss.

It’s peace there & Russian Roulette here.
Two very different cultures of fear.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
