Walk The Chalk Mark
just like the gun went off shooting
her heart was his; he hit the mark
his warm regards were oh, so soothing
the blast so intense she’s an easy mark
blood soaring her last; shot in the dark
soothes her soul he did; she remarked
her dream to come true; they embark
life excites cars then houses, yes “Clark”,
Kent has finally arrived, of course a lark!
Together a great team, finally him laughing
families alike each other, all very smart.
inspiring she picks up paint brush dabbling
totally loved she help him with crafting
generous he always was from the start
more than a year he starts a new drafting
the second shot was quick and off the mark.
reflections through the glass, a re-staffing
images up on the extra large screen, park
pain and blood from her soul starts gagging
unhappy one perfectly normal, he’s a snark
the tears from those bullets last, a yearling
time passes her quickly she is the dark
her flaw so disastrous? No past quibbling
soul intact, blood flowing, at her disembark
Snark is found in the Urban Dictionary

There seems to be happiness and love mixed with some dark “snarki-ness”…doesn’t seem like this was a match made in heaven…

Seems like a relationship that could have been better.. The lightheaded rhymes combined with the subject matter create quite a special effect.

Yes those Clark Kent types have a bad reputation. Always zipping into a superman suit and flying off somewhere..One should never date a man who wears fancy dress or bitches about his former girl friends. Everyone knows that:) Entertaining and interesting poem .

That is quite a story! Sometimes ‘dreams come true’ eventually change to nightmares.

Really liked the style and flow to this, enhances the story-telling. Sometimes words are the harshest weapons, and wound deeper and hurt more than any bullet could. I like this a lot. Reread a couple of times to get the full effect. Not as light as the first appears. A thinking person’s poem.

Being hit and suffer once is bad enough. It is very painful when history repeats itself.

Well I guess she had enough of his snarkiness and left. Good that she ‘disembarked’.

Perhaps we reap what we sow, or maybe we project our inadequacies onto those closest to us. We deserve happiness, but do we truly believe that in the darkest corners of our psyche? Nice rhyme-ride; thanks.
