If you're reading this
I'm no longer around
it's a note I left
I hope it's found

when life is tricky
you gamble cares
so I slid down
the apples and pears

my rent was due
and life got cheap
finance drove off
with my off road sheep

my dog had died
and that was that
he started a fight
with a mean take that
.
I was chasing dues
much time to kill
all the stress was making me
Lilo Lil

then she pulls up
in a red corvette
twas a rainy night
and her clothes were let

"I hear they call you
Noir Blue
the only man
to beat a boy called. Sue

I said" that's true "
I said" that's right "
he broke my nose
but I won the fight

" I like your style '
she said confessin
tracing the butt
of her Smith & Wesson


to the uptown grill
for food and drink
the place was nice
at least I think

over a cold one
she got me hot
I liked her legs
I liked her alot

suddenly a party
arrived at my back
a blow to my head
and my world went black

so in this place
I met my end
a shallow grave
with a gun for a friend

and on this note
my lighter sang
I took last breath
and heard the bang

There is an undeniable creative genius within you that exherts itself likely without full cooperation at times. I will not attempt to make this commentation about myself, yet just add that many people hate me, others hate the darker side or my writings, then there are those that hate both. I applaud this outstsanding intense piece of work very highly. I drink tea that is bitter, never adding sugar that would certainly ruin the natural taste.thumbs up

brilliantly written Ru. I can’t stop getting a real pleasure reading your ballads. Even the dark ones. you just have to publish a collection of your ballads. I remember a year ago Red gave you the same advise..If this happens once, I would like to buy a copy with the author's aphthograph. )) Lily applause

Dark yet very entertaining, Ru. wine A typical Smith and Wesson is a .38 "Saturday Night Special". cowboy

Very astonishing write my friend. Blues everywhere but that is life. We twist and turn, sometimes ending in delight; yet others looking for our ashes. Always enjoy your writes, being either white or black....wave SM
