Apple Feelings
Tangy sweetness
A shot in the dark 
Light erupts from her heart
Green leaves show
She continues to grow
And so, 
The apple is born....

Just a Shot In the Dark
Push me please,
Make me go.
Make me follow,
Time on a clock.
Wake me up,
Let me know,
Give it a shot.

Your so much closer than anybody has ever been.

Open me please,
Let yourself in....

Golden kisses touch the lips of the tress;
Embracing feet walk the hills and pastures streams;
Covenant seems to be fleeting be;
Embraced cabinet hot crèmes;
Shot in the dark, who turned out the lights;...

A Shot In the Dark
once again
i've eaten
too much
soup

my bladder
from the last
twenty four hours
has given in to not

giving
again the
tracks are 
backing up

after all
in the States
why don't we have
bullet trains...

Rely On Me
A shot in the dark.
Alone in the world.
No one to talk to
And no one to hold.
So blame everyone

For your bad life.
See how that goes.
You won't get far.
It will get worse.

Happiness
begins when
you rely

On the
One, true

God...

War
Edwin Starr asked ya what is it good for 
Big share holder bonuses 
And a  politicians ego
Don't fall for jingoistic rhetoric 
Wear the white poppy 
And tell the war mongers to go to heck  
abso.lutely.

somewhere
somehow
just asking
for a little faith

Last Shot
Stalking a dream
trailing a memory
A scent came in focus
  wafting desire

Seized by the moment
alluding a time warp
Tracking its shadow
ambush on fire

Covered in greasepaint
fear is approaching
Hearing its footsteps
the jungle embarked 

Crosshair detention
target redemption 
Locked and reloaded
—one shot in the dark

Broken Bones of Youth
it’s the end of an era.
a last second shot in the dark from God knows where.
the kids can’t be tamed. 
the life of an adolescent has changed.
the darkness has darkened.
the light not so  formidable. 
we allowed it, them, us to change.
the cocaine has been canned. distributed. and consumed.  
pretty colors and quick deaths.
energy for life comes in pill form. sips of liquid help wash it down.
the weird is mainstream and the normal is far from it....

Galaxies Apart
Hurting you wasn't my intention
For me to keep sanity
My spirit halted me with an intervention

You're a shot in the dark
Our minds are galaxies apart

Too much conflict
While I disliked it,
You seem to be an addict

I'm more content
Finding less and less to vent

My battles are fought by me
Your battles are an Odyssey 
Clash of the Titans, Greek mythology

Too much drama for me
I'll retreat while you cry to your momma
Hopefully peace and happiness find you tomorrow...

Premium Member A Shot In the Dark
dreamt to relieve myself
of fearful thoughts, patriotic
plots. dressed to kill in Washington
skirt, no pants of a farmer
wielding a British brown bess
blessed with happiness before
the frightening knock at the door
exploded out of shock
towards the door...towards the door
while family holds their revolutionary breaths
the bouquet
of children unaware
of dangerous situation
a shot in the dark
a shot heard round the world
that never stops

A Bullet Named Terror
the house shines bright, it takes every light

sleep refuses to dream, a reverie extreme

the plan to outsmart, a shot in the dark

trigger for a steel mention, the spelling of my name

directed to a lead core, dead center to each letter

primed for flight, a jacket of lead dares our right

a ripping force of violent heat, to rupture complete

rendered lethal for the take down, a fatal round

chambered by a sniper, posted at heaven’s door

Volcanic Eruption
Citizens of the world
Emotional turmoil is exploding like a Volcanic eruption
About 50% of you are broke and unemployed
Thanks to greed and corporate corruption
This month it's either eat or pay bills
Food is the best medicine for most, hunger kills
Eventually, hopefully, one day, someone will erase the bottom line
A hurricane of triumph mimic a large magical wind chime
Quality Assurance will mean something, not just a chart
Change will become more normal, not just a shot in the dark...
