In spite of all your riches you eschew what prophets do Basilicas you build to self with time but empty pews Wealth deadly suicidal when wielded as a gun Whose target sits between your eyes with one shot zero-sum (Dreamsleep: November, 2023) ...

Jack's One Shot
Jack was on the baseball team, But he never got to play. One day, he got his chance. He went up to the plate and hit the ball, CRACK! It went so far that it hit the fence and went smack. He ran all the way to third, But in his ear was a bee. The bee just kept his calm buzz. Jack...

She killed...

One Shot
Both truth and lies. Resides in darkest white. Stays in solitude. In need of none. Until someone came in. Changed the very core. Shaded with dazzling colors. The someone became everything. Lived happiness with sorrow. Shed tears with joy and pain. Lived with it. Settled with it. Broke a promise. Reflected with guilt. Took all the blame. In agony of apologizing Now in the edge. Felt empty inside. Scared of losing someone. Still hoping....

One Shot
This is life. Wake up and smell the gunpowder. Spin the chamber, pull the trigger. One shot. Click. Silence. And just like that, I win what I already had. An opportunity to continue breathing. Thank god. I guess. This is just life. I want to feel it the way I used to. When one shot was...

We ascertain pleasure in reliving our past, Though lurking matters often bankrupt our day; For that portion of living in chronicles is cast, This content can't change much to our dismay. We justify retrieve as value to years emerging, That beyond this day's history we will refrain. Our subconscious is active with incessant urging, For it realizes we shan't pass this way...

One Shot
Identity of the unknown, Travels down a narrow road. Misjudged and scared, But he couldn’t hold…. Emotion from controlling, The one thing in life he admired, and loved. But it was taken away, Within a single day, He couldn’t withhold fear or depression. So he used a weapon, As an impression. On that man, that very day. He shot him then he turned away, From life and love...
