Rouletting with a Poet

Rouletting with a Poet

witty words on soddened paper is the only way this lonely poet can bleed out his inexpressible emotions

poetic bullets of his mind riddle blank pages full of unrequited love and unrecognized fears

this poet waits passionately, fervently
with pen in hand
cocking then uncocking the cambers of his heart

firing a subliminal warning:

beware the illiterate lover
if you can't converstate on paper
you have no business rouletting with this poet
