Desert Eagle Drive

357 Desert Eagle drive
Hollow point
A piece of the sky
Everything is Zen
Sequestered in hell
It’s the little things that kill
Stopping power
**** me
Cold against your temple
Hot in your hand
I need to comedown
IKEA and groceries
Feed the dogs
Worlds gone mad
Love and hate
I sleep all day
No one knows me
It all comes down to you
There is no blame

Laura Breidenthal Date: 11/13/2014 4:55:00 PM There's a deep sadness in the poem, but because of the strong language in parts, I sense some anger in it too. It's good that you are able to be so expressive and artful when life throws its fire balls into the mind and soul. it is indeed a powerful piece of work. Well, this will be my last poem I have read for today. I am happy to read your work. Keep it up! Always, Laura Login to Reply Stephen Kilmer Date: 11/14/2014 7:10:00 PM I was feeling a bit low when I wrote this one. Thanks for the marathon reads. You made my day, week, month, aw hell you make every day a good one. Thanks for being such a dear friend. ~Kilmer

Karen Anglesey Date: 4/20/2014 3:31:00 PM I feel a little too close to the edge of hell at times. Especially the last few months. Very strong emotion with your usual tell-it-like-it-is style. I can relate to the feeling of coming to terms with loss and loneliness. Login to Reply Stephen Kilmer Date: 4/20/2014 3:38:00 PM Hang in there Karen, it get's better I promise. It's the little things that really make a difference. I was down when I wrote this but have comes to grip with life and realized we are here to make a difference no matter how small. It may not be now but it is coming. ~Kilmer

Sometime I just can't stand it another day but I always seem to carry on. Thanks for your concern I really appreciate it. ~Kilmer
