Death smiled Shyly.



Death smiled shyly. 
__________________ 

I've never reversed a 45 
but I've stared down the 
barrel of a .45, 
and grinned like a madman 
in the face of death; 

Death smiled back shyly, 
but didn't say much. 
(since death is more a thing 
of action than angel 
of senseless words.) 

I've borrowed time, 
(that I never intended to 
pay back) 
and even taken out 
mortgages on my 
Soul. 

But until Now, 
(this moment) 
Love has never 
made me wish 
to feel more Whole. 

Are you the .45 
I stare at half-mad, 
with desperation 
in my Heart? 

Or just another whisper 
in My Head of Constant Art?>
