DANGEROUS featured in All Out Emotion on 1-3-09!
Thank you so much Jane Keats and Rheenie for featuring my poem DANGEROUS in All Out Emotion.
I so much appreciate this feature.
Here is the poem:
DANGEROUS
It is that feeling in her eyes
As she moves towards revolution
Her poise, her presence
She holds herself defiant and courageous
A warrior of the heart.
Her heart exposed
Vulnerable like a delicate reed
Glistening and subtle, a pearl
But so easily turned raw.
She bends but not breaks
Missing the arrows of war
and marches forward towards
the rupture of change.
Through the wind and hail
A tornado of emotion
Her heart in flames
Her dance ignited by passion.
Her thinking heart
She has been told
Thinks too much
But she is aware, her eyes see
and her heart knows.
Instinct and passion
Softness and Strength
Intuition and Wisdom
a powerful marriage.
It takes a strong man to love her
One who can see her soul
For as strong as she is
She is just as soft
And she knows and he knows
In this she is dangerous.

I see this beautiful woman with fluid motion that moves with the wind. I see her moving in a manner that suggests she knows what is to come… impossible to stop as she has already acted in delicate foresight of the actions of others that wish to harm her. She seems vulnerable and easy prey… so they attack, but to the dismay of her advisories, they realize too late, they are left with little choice but to love her or fall at her feet for mercy
Love it!
Anthea Slade replied
Wow Mario your words are pure poetry…love your reading of Dangerous…very insightful and beautiful. A pleasure to read…thank you so much :)
