Best Gun Barrel Poems


Premium Member Cutting My Losses
Atmospheric grayscale mirrors my mood
where rainbow pastels are loath to intrude,
monochrome perverse looms ‘cross universe -

black powder train, mind is gun barrel gray
cold dispassionate muzzle of dismay.
My happiness; my death will reimburse -
lifeblood bleeds an anemic attitude.

Faraway magic sparks inside distant dreams awaken tears
spells under a smiling moon casting shadows out howls lonely
within deep soft moving feelings lights all candles in four chambers bright

Silver whispers one lone wolf cries princess moonlighting ball faraway dance
flying on wings across many oceans sweet warmly...

Premium Member One Vision of a World Turned Upside Down
A silver shawl hangs heavy over the mountain 
sky grey clouds shooting gun barrel smoke hiding sunlight 

Looking out towards the ocean dreaming in wild north Atlantic waves
tides turn a little lamb suffering in the spring crouched cold 

We all see visions of injustices flash...

Premium Member Only You Babe
Tasting delights softly captured
in a keyhole of thoughts 
warmly smiling
radiates within one porthole 
Outside the mind
opening this heart sweetly yawning 
twilight dawning .

Clouds shades red blushing desire
fading to amber 
going further out from the sun
turning shades 
from gun barrel grey to black 
setting our scene.

He pours through my soul, like silky hot chocolate; I dream of loving smiles and a golden heart.  A guardian spirit whose voice I’ve heard only once.  You kept me safe as I trembled, looking down that gun barrel and told me things...

Premium Member Memory, the Annihilation in Darkness Haunts
Memory, the annihilation loop in darkness haunts…
this night…a hammer 
old, gun barrel cold
weight of a baby’s head, less a hair
gripping death, tempered fire punching steam 
subtle, dangerous, good in a raucous romp  
popping rivets like teeth, swinging drunk love 
snatching glimpses, mid swing
of faces...

The Forgotten Voices
The date
July Twenty Eight
The year, 1914
The War which we feared 
It began, something we could not foresee
This date, still haunters me
To this very day
Those bewailing screams
And those traumatic scenes
Words to do not to justify 
The violence I've seen
Those images cemented in my brain
I still have...

Premium Member Dreaming Faraway Drifting
The mountain is covered in a dense falling fog
gun barrel grey clouds shading out,  unto silver
changing outwards orange to soft peach
Gracing the sun setting sky warm thoughts  

 Runaway dream hums, within birds singing gently
 almost  a magic spell sings, in one...

Premium Member Night Flight
"Night Flight"

the sky is 
an open eye
blue as the
Orpheus ocean 

clear in the 
shallows' grit
naivety irritates it 
birthing hard gems

it calls in 
from beneath 
the undertow 
a new dawn  

Morpheus deep
bipolar colours 
unrecognisable
hues and tones

true tides 
swiftly turn and
show themselves
for what they are

fair weather...

Mosquito Bat
Mosquito Bat

Peering closely, I sought to quickly skim through the online latest news …
True to form, I am a stickler for keeping up with the latest happening news…
Given this internet age and its borderless media reach, there’s always something…
So much to read, so much to...

Cannibal Lies

American Daughters of the Civil War Revolution
are so madly in love with their Bluish-Gray metal sons
Incestuous desires borne of slave tax oppression

Give to Caesar whatever tribute he crown heavy lay on you,
feed three-fifth portions to the hungry publican lions
Let the Den Mother Lying famine devour...

Premium Member At Peace
As the moon smiles upside down her face 
turning on the box so to speak ill news
All one hears the devil's hate
wars and killings
Then switching of the poison 
finding such pure peace 
birds of all song singing in the air their magic gracing tunes
Alone listening...

Easy Elimination of Stupid People Part Three
Easy Elimination of Stupid People Part Three

By Elton Camp

Warnings show how stupid folks can be
As promised, here you have part three
Hershey’s Almond Bar wants you to face:
“Warning, of nuts this may have a trace”

A can of air freshener does tell:
“For use only by trained personnel”
A...

Happy Father's Day
You’re my Dad that proudly introduced me to the race cars and sports, from spark plugs & curve balls to the other manly cool sorts!

You’re my Father that explored with me the adventures of hunting and fishing, from staring down the gun barrel and watching...
