"The shotgun only speaks by shot / Desire by fire or jealous ire / Which either freezes or it fries / And neither ever satisfies"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1269:

Make Sure Your Lover is Your Friend

 

The hard way but at least they learned

The house always wins

Who plays with fire is always burned

We pay for our sins

Whether we think we sin or not

 

The shotgun only speaks by shot

Desire by fire or jealous ire

Which either freezes or it fries

And neither ever satisfies

Whether we lose or win the pot

 

What does it all mean in the end?

The house always wins and none can defend

Against jealous fate when love turns to hate:

 

Make sure your lover is your friend

This is a strong statement here and so wisely spoken in the written word.

There's only one thin line that separates love and hate. Good words of wisdom.
