HEADLIGHTS

Contributed by robert_edgar_burns on Wednesday, 26th October 2011 @ 09:42:23 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

Surrounded by the two men,
With shotguns to my head.
Something in their actions
Told me that I'd soon be dead.

The register I opened,
Then felt a crack against my skull.
My knees buckled to the floor.
My senses became dull.

The Lord then heard my silent cries,
To forgive me of my sins.
And of my soon arrival,
To kindly let me in.

Nothing gets your attention
Than when told to lock and load.
And as the rounds were chambered,
I knew I was going Home!

Headlights through front windows,
Scared the cruel harsh thugs away.
Six murders they were tried for,
Only I'm alive today.

This is a very true story.
As the battered man was me.
A soul must always be ready,
Tomorrow’s aren’t promised you see!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
