Risk
And The Game Of Life
Life, all of it risk.
Each breath, torment or a gift
One of its kind; unlike anything else
Can’t un-spend, what's been spent
*
Belonging or connected to
Yet, similarly uncommon
Designed for purposeful gains
Some beautiful, some rotten
*
Unique and distinctive
Fragile yet resilient
Helpful and vindictive
Some polite and some indignant
*
Goals and desires, don’t matter much
One step and then the next
Remaining rare is near impossible
Be happy with being your best

The Tango Connection
I suppose I've become a writer so I wouldn't bore everyone to death telling them my stories. Reading them is reading. Not the same. There's rhythm. And timing and, most importantly, drama and suspense. Unless you have tremendous magnetism and an undeniable stage presence, there's no way you can engage an audience the way you can by writing your story. That's my opinion.

Words opposite and then a final lift in meaning is very nice in this one.
I loved the thought and the contrast in this. The ending opened up to me like a beautiful butterfly. :) Well done!
Very nicely done.
