i shot the moon with my eyes
i fired bullets and hit it twice
first, it landed on the crust but missed
Lunar Maria and Lunar Terrae
it bore a deep hole into the mantle
reached the core, outer and inner
the hardest part the inner core
like your heart i can’t ignore

the second bullet passed thru your mind
it made some convincing
to be noticed not playing blind
thanks god your outer core have melted
that left the inner core be thawed
softened, moved and beat
towards this heart of mine
may you shine bright all thru the night…

a body of peeled-off skin
blown by the edges of the wind
unclothed by bitter harsh words
sharp tongue has trimmed and thinned

fighting a foe with bare iron hands
cannot guaranty a sure clean win
being quiet and calm in speechlessness
battle could be won without firing a gun

best-kept secrets of truth have been set free
allegations can’t prove charges of being guilty
bullets fired became blank and empty
head-on collision is a fight against the bully …

chopped pieces of hearts
drafting some words to say
leaving the tongue speechless

embattled kissing lips
trying to spit some aches
and summon the fiery dragon

flying news with outgrown claws
scratching the timid skin
man on the cover able to snatch a dream

rumors from the pit of stupid lies
from tongues to tongues to papers and pens
unrolling the rusty bullets to shoot

but what use the bullets can kill
the powerless, revenge is coming
the breathing silence will soon burst...
