burying their rainbows
one shot at a time...

One shot, two shot, three

Stiff drinks don't hide all the pain

they sugar coat tears...

The duel was fought.
One gun shot, one

Sitting here
One shot two shot
Couple more shots...
Take this bottle away
Or sit for a few shots more....

witch and poet in one shot

am still wet
we had great sex
i don't regret
so glad we met
it was a one shot deal
but what a meal
so glad we turn off the light
it was just right
LAST NIGHT...

One shot of envy
Two shots of love
Few drops of luck
Just a hint of fear.

Pour over cubes of the past
Shake well, shake well
Top with hope
Garnish with joy....

I am running out of time.
I have one shot to make
But it is too far away
and I have few words to use.
@ what time
am I right?
@ what time
am I dumb?
@ what time 
do you reap me?...

Lost the Internet, my world has come to a stop
Imagine if it was worldwide, disconnected in one shot
Wall Street, Our Street
The disruption at a peak
Shows how we rely on it when the net goes plop...

I lurk in the darkness as I wait
My victim unknowingly enters the gate
This day has been coming for so long
Only one shot, I can't get it wrong
I hear the key turn, so I start to rise
The light flicks on, And I yell "SURPRISE!"...

Cupid aims his arrow
   Hunter with his bow
Thinks he: It's a simple matter
   Of his weapon aimed just so...

Love's not such easy prey
   To be captured with one shot
She demands more time, more patience
   Than any Cupid's got...

3 kings are in a song but not in the word
Eternal life he brought with faith enough for all
X marks the spot don't miss your one shot!!

I took the challenge of the PD
Yes opinonated me!!...

I love how real food
Actually fills you up and warms your belly.
Giving you something to work on
One shot,
And its done.
No four hour lapse in judgment
Continously putting Nabsico
In your soul
And it costs 10 times less
You can't **** with nature...

one chance at life.
i cant screw this up.
only one shot.
i cant mess this up.
you only live once.
so why not have some fun?
Raised to belive,
that we're all gonna die.
you only have one life
you only live once.
one life, one chance,
only one shot....

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

You only get
one shot
in this game,
one chance
to make
your mark.
There are
no repeats
This is it
It's all
you've got
So make
the most
of this opportunity
Give your
best efforts
100%
Don't regret
Just move forward
with your eyes
to the heavens...

He is not guilty,
But someone in here is
I have two kids
Sometimes acts like pigs
No violence
I love my kids, don’t touch them
Thanks for the hem
On Jem’s pants
One shot, on the spot
Never did in years, never will
As long as my kids are not around and Dill...

He lived hard
 Lived fast
But luck was
 Rarely his
He got hurt
 Many times
And with time
 The pain grew
Till one day
 He did do
Some act I
 Could never do
Took a gun
 With one shot
Stopped the pain
 Made it end
That I could
 Never do
He was
 A braver man...

The firmament above, beneath we exist,
This diversity in divine artistry
Same eyes divers sizes
Different skin same sin
Different color same honor
Same human same humor
Why try to sort out maize from corn? They are all same
Cus just one shot, your race wont spare you...

If you could close your eye's
shut out the world of NOW
...and you could re-discover HOW

But ,you only get one shot,one wish...

If you could leave this world
only to return,with that ONE
....one only....
what would you return with
that would give you completeness??...

Begging, pleading just one prick.
Engulfing, overtaking, degrading.
Please just once,
Make that plunger plunge.
Make me throb, make me bleed,
Let my body feel relief.
Plunge it in and pull it out.
Lifes desintergration in one shot.
Roll the dice weither you like it
Or not...

An arrow from the darkness…
rejection finds its mark

The sharpened edge of jealousy,
its point straight through the heart

The bow retracts in shamefulness,
its string left slack and loose

One shot was made, a cursed fate
—the devil laughs anew

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)...

(in memory of "Black") 


Another soul has left this lonely place, 
A place without end, 
A time that will not stand still, 
With one shot 
She left this world as an unknown 
Just another number, 
Jotted down in the book of time 
And thus gone in the black of night. 

(c) 1994, 2004...
