Striking Love

She is the not the target
She has never been.
She is the arrow
Finding direction to the target
Which is my piercing heart.

Love is fever without known medicine on earth.
It catches anyone on target,
then the two suffer together
until after bed rest.

Anger Trigger

Betrayal suggested to be it,
Is for real the poignant due hit.

It is somehow on poignant target;
Definitely grounding banquet.

When you let yourself

I will whip out my hot gun,
You hold the barrel, have fun;
Stroke with your finger,
Then pull the trigger 
And hit the target anon!

Makes a target for the Taliban

But failed to explain
That a brain will backfire in a man!

Target

Tested,
hunted,
singled,
chased,
cornered,
lashed,
to fatality,
he wanted to be away,
but they got their way,
and pulled out life's last ray.

There once was a man who loved guns
With women he hit no home runs
He'd whip out his round
And shoot it outbound
While wishing to target their buns

Execution Plan

You and Police and execution Plan
Aren't you belong to the same Clan
Target killing and fake encounters
Ransom and extortion money
This is not funny..

Political Targets

A target set by a politician
may stand for an inflated ambition,
     for when it's not met
     he'll be most upset
for it gives to his foes ammunition.

Target,Birds and Fishes

the target board was full with your missed
road was not important
answer was a question sometimes

birds were take off together

the fishes didn't know

Premium Member Air Traffic Control Radar

Blips repeat on man's optic nerve
Reflections of each shapely curve
The impulse to meet
Slows the beat of his feet  
And to greet the target he'll swerve

Target Missed

Seething rage
                                                        blistering haze
                                                          target missed.

Song

The spears of hope
Lie light in hand;
The target night
Spreads o'er the land.

I lift, I raise,
I cast me forth----
Star on star 
Shines south and north.
