Brutal Stranger


This weapon for love
Strikes effective
Not selective
Brings her to a new
Objective
He fills her void
But travels softly
Reflective
Of past loves
In the range her
Memories once of
This brutal stranger

    A brutal stranger indeed. Usually such strangers reflect the ideals of the holder.

    Indeed, revolvers are ineffective but limit shell casing evidence thus making them "strangers" to their detection seekers.

    This weapon for love, does it have deadly accuracy or dwell in the realm of memory? Multiple layers of meaning and merging of s/he stranger in this powerful piece!

    It is of an aquaintance I draw this image. I see it in his words.
