With His Six Shooter In Hand He Emptied Its Load


In a whiskey glazed stupor his horse he shot
Under blue-wailing moon his heart, a broken mess
And then his emotions tossed in their sad lot
Somewhere with lost hope, his failures he did confess
But as image appears, her...

Another bout of unconsciousness, disguised as a nighttime’s sleep;
Another day of broken promises that she knows she cannot keep;
Another shot to cure the loneliness inside her long, tormented soul;
Another bottle drank to emptiness with destruction as its final goal.

With words slurred and visions blurred, denial...

My mind hungered the untimeliness 
of shattered existence above all grave 
battered thoughts sullen whispers quiet 
hushes I employed to write to empty 

oneself into an invisible crowded realm 
ecstasy of the soul craving my hearts 
glow the brilliant hue that send signals 
down my...

No talk, no walk,
No laws, no clause,
That's her way of dreaming.
Just the silence between the journey,
The peace connecting two broken pieces of heart,
Was the making of the bro sis art.
Their relationship was an art,
Not just his and hers, but even those who aren't related by...

The drawer has emptied over time
one-thirds cleared as if to comply
with an absence that demands doom
this lack of spoons in present time
those holders of passions pressed
into realms of thriving health
growth beyond the wounded state
is then paused by lack of ready grace

there’s left behind the substitutes
each...

Emptied Moon
David J Walker

And the end will come
When it comes

As the never-ending
End begins

Empty minutes measured
Against
the past
of an unknown someone

Dizzy 		Empty 
Unassured to the last

We both were drunk on dark
and contrasting light
To study 
and discuss
	Emptiness

and the end will come at first flight

As another lie
unverified
occupied 
another emptied...

In science lab one day
  they emptied out my brain
Even poked, it wouldn't say
  a word about my pain

at never chancing what I knew
  was beyond my comfort zone
That's why my brain just never grew 
  ~ the reason for my...

Now I see that what  has been said so many times is true
I am what they say I am  I have done what they say I have done
And now I pay the price 

I am trapped in a world of pain and fear
I...

Each memory a breeze 
brushed cheek of hinted fall
when in the summer grass her grace so tall
seasons: winter, spring, come one or all
Never there, without her stare.  
Never saw....

Upon the emptied blackboards
chalkdust yet remains,
smeared, the work of a
thousand problems, minds behind each,
even the blue message of a
young lady waving goodbye....

Bare annihilation vanquished before 
the wind breathed her in. 
First impressions clear, lasting,
only to shred the contract she composed for one. 
How? Questions that have many answers; 
none of which carry relief to the seeker.

Is it my fault why I loved you unconditionally? 
Is it my punishment to live without love, 
without sweet words, 
without hugs, 
Subjugated, 
powerless to get out of these walls that love for you built 
Why do I feel hopelessly lost? 
Why can't I get...
