Best Dangerous Poems

Perilous is the journey, sordid is the quest, flashing flirtatious desire,
Treacherous is gaudy aspiration, playing with torrid flames of fire;
No matter how thrilling, how visceral may feel this insidious chase,
Neither it is a road to endearment, nor is it a destination of grace.

Provocative is charming...

This Aphrodite rose
slowly unfurls
pink ombre balms
of sun-kissed 
springfalls, 
as the luminous 
lake of tears
cascade in 
exotic wreaths 
of honey-soaked
velvety sepals, 
there succulent seeds
of zestful dawns adorned
our silken sheets
across luscious meadows 
sprinkled with 
glistening cosmic dust. 
Yet neon streaks
of longing unveiled;
romanticized rainbows
engrossed within
fire opal clouds,
awaiting to...

Aching with desire
my thoughts are filled with you
thoughts I should not dare to think
for fear they will destroy me.
Just a thought of you and I am seized
by feelings that shatter me
and thrill me
burning my flesh as they rush through me
leaving me thirsting in their wake
thirst...

The town that I was born in was a small and ‘one horse’ place,
where no one held a secret and we knew each other’s face.
Nothing seemed to ever change but then we seen the myth explode
when a mining company opened up a few miles down...

Behind a veil of darkness,
twinkling lights confetti night.
And yet, these constellations
are an unfamiliar sight.

I miss you the most at dusk
when memories feel so real.
And I'm eager to write you
and share everything I feel.

It's said, God walked desert sands,
and His love lingers there still.
But, just thinking...

You wanted someone strong; you wanted someone who wouldn’t crack. You thought you were making me tough by breaking me down. You told yourself it was the only way, because I wasn’t the boy you wanted. 
No
I was a girl, your first born. I was...

Her rainbow eyes

His own demise....

Home is where the radio is
Paradise is where I am
I miss his cigarettes...His mess
He said "I am smoking the last one"

I'm going to make him crazy
Rage, rage, rage
Rage, fury, rage
Nobody will be able to hurt me again

I will defeat pain with rage, my love
He cheated...

riding rivulets down
insane power of drain
mist erupts, exclamation crashes
the edge of humanity
at the rainbow’s end
the beauty screams:
c’mon in
pins and needles
from the parietal lobe
to the sole

the droplets
run and dive
right in, exploding in laughter
and delight

man is afraid
rightfully so
afraid to decompose 

composure
is at wit’s end

we slip, we slide
in...

Dangerous Mind

The mind is a most dangerous thing,
Forcing memories into replay,
Endless relived moments drowning bring
Snippets in time more real than today. 
Paralyzing sadness is trouble
Which the mind needs to be addressing. 

Before I died inside, I really tried.

The sleepless mind toys with our heartstrings,
Always knowing...

Caught up in the feeling,
Caught up in the vibe.
So anxious of revealing,
My in and outside.
Caught up in this persuasion,
Caught up in my mind.
I couldn't help my infatuation,
I just wish I could rewind.
It felt like good timing,
All I wanted was a kiss.
This started so exciting,
And ended...

You came in like a sweet tasty tornado..
Spun my head around where I didn't know
where to go..
The path of destruction was paved with 
lust and misplaced feelings..
Two wrongs only made another wrong which
led to months of healing..
The funnel cloud came in so fast but I...

I walk the path of Human Secrecy
I belong in no Shelf 
I put no labels to Myself
Hopeless of Heaven
Fearless of Hell
Unraveled my mind
Evoking turmoil in my Soul
In the mystery of my own Disguise 
A stranger to my own Thoughts
Cradled with a Heartless Rive
That sees no...

A pyromaniac named Jack,
Who hailed from the town of Hackensack,
Decided one day, 
with matches he’d play
He’s a mummy now, flat on his back!
