Premium Member who will be late

who will be on time today for lunch?
who will be late?
always the same scenario
Mimi is early
Lee will be late, and she is
their behaviors as predictable as the coldness of a gun barrel


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.

Premium Member Yeeeahhhh

a cowboys whaaahooo?
hollywood sounded that way
then came clint eastwood

'the unforgiven'
the best western of all time
rawest truths of life

'ah'm here tuh kill you
little bill for what you done
(a slow breath)...yeeeahhhh'

when clint sighed like that
looking down his gun barrel
that meant...'yup, you're dead'

the good guys were bad
that was just a way of life
as now...dawg eat dawg

No More

Starting down a gun barrel,
But the trigger in my hand,
My very life is in peril,
To be here was never planned.

The end of all things is coming
For this my little lot
I’ve had enough of the running
I’d rather just get shot

To run forever more is hell,
From heart ache to ache,
To be locked in despairs cell,
Is now more than I can take.

The colours faded long ago,
Slipped quietly from my life,
I didn’t spot it as you should know,
They left only pain and strife.
