Anywhere Near My Heart (Is A Good Kill)
©Jerry Axson

As I sit here in the twilight of the last gleam in my life,
alone with all my memories and a trunk of bad advice,
drinking long and hard from the shot glass of my woes,
fuzzy round’ the edges from my head down to my toes,
Oh…
it pains me so…
you’re this far off your mark…
Oh…
bend your bow with all your skill -
anywhere near my heart is a good kill…

From the mountains on the west coast to the lowland river beds,
I’ve been searching for a soft place to lay my weary head,
tears and cheers and benediction, the likes you’ve never heard,
you can stack them up they would reach the moon and never say a word,
Oh…
it pains me so…
you’re this far off your mark…
Oh…
bend your bow with all your skill –
anywhere near my heart is a good kill…

My eyes are old, my heart is cold like a vacant parking lot,
so here I’ll sit with all these ghosts and wait to take my spot,
as the cavalcade of fools parade across my line of sight,
I can catch my breath then let it out and fade into the night,
And Oh…
it pains me so…
you were this far off your mark…
And Oh…
just bend your bow with all your skill –
anywhere near my heart…
is a good kill…

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
