Gun like a flower

You don’t know me.
The time is gone
for you and for me,
but with this gun in your hand
you see the future
of your illness mind.
Call me by my name
and kill me after that.
Maybe in your eyes
I can write my happiness
and give you for the rest of your life
a peaceful victory.
We could die together
but who keeps alive
our memories
in this world,
the only world
that can exist?
My mistake.
Is not a gun.
In your hand,
I see just two tickets
for the lovers museum.
You and me together
and the gun between us
like a flower.

Hi Silviu

Yes, I liked this poem. Like the others I've read, it manages to be paradoxical and mysterious and surreal. It also forces you to think. Nice one, well done.

It's a common trope here in the US for peace makers to place flowers in the barrel of warmonger weapons for the betterment of humanity. Good piece of literature here.?
