Bullet

Two gun shots heard,

Two bullets fly,

Our shock is plain.

A hit;

A fiery poker's heat,

And searing pain.

A crash,

As gun

Impacts with head;

Strong arms appear.

A mask

Slips down

As eyes

Reveal

Deep love

And fear.

A bullet wound,

I know,

Can cause

A fatal fall;

But one which thus

Illuminates

Is worth it all.
