Point Blank

Staring
into the essence
of what sunlight
often hides

plain sight
the truth takes flight
— in nature’s great disguise

Point Blank

I'm friends with a monster,
Inside my head.
But I hate the way he is always
Crawling under the bed when
I want him beside me, holding my hand,
Want him to protect me from all the thoughts racing
Along the shore; a never-ending creed.
I'm so tired of them, the thoughts-
They're scarier than death.
Now I want a gun pointed to my

point blank

care …

your last concern …
sixteen times you said it
repetition as your testament to love
nearly a full clip emptied straight
as ballistics into my chest
with your most saccharine sexy drawl …
but you saved just one -
left that last “I love you” in the chamber
for bitter Hollywood endings …
you think I didn’t notice?
I’ve seen you unload before on

Point Blank

Standing staring at a blank wall
No joy
No sorrow
No anger 
Nothing, only
A pile of lost 
Dreams and expectations
Shot point blank
Dead and decaying
Looking but finding 
Only cold comfort

Point Blank

Depending on the tides
We've searched worlds with fixed eyes in positions
Serious with concern and a sense of times
Scoured for meaning, the frontier of being
What’s intended to be?

We've missed by the narrowest of margins,
thirsted for new grounds higher and expanding
neither one nor the other
but within the remote
pushing past the middle, exposed

We've confronted face to face with

Point-Blank

Unnerving news, it lit the fuse,
And at "point-blank" range, I was shot
But then we found ourselves amused-
That you were dead and I was not!

*This is a silly piece, just written at the time, I suppose, for the sake of irony

Point Blank

I never leave my point blank
Point Blank!
At the point of a saber
Now we are at the point of danger
The point shatters
Friends stab me in the back with daggers and i stagger
Grab her,Nah! but I'll take a stab at it
Aw! I never set hearts on fire or dash hopes at all
I aspire to inspire you
Now desire
