Smoky embers in an orange sunset. I haven't seen a living soul in days. Spiny cactus looming all around me Night slowly wraps me in violet haze. How does a Cowboy choose a path In times that are always changing? Beyond rattlesnakes and horseshoes The old world's resisting rearranging. ![]() But the sunset's still just as pretty The sky is still a timeless blue. And I carry my heart on my shirt sleeve Every time I think of you ![]() There are those who would decry all who choose to go to war But, Honey I would defend you like a pimp defends his whores So the next time anyone bothers you and you're feeling battered and abused Remember just give me a call. I'll give the bastard his dues. Comments "But the sunset's still just as pretty The sky is still a timeless blue." what wonderful lines they seem to go toghether i like the imagery, theme, content, etc great read what a surprise ending
not what i expected but i did enjoy reading it..was not expecting the last few lines at all, kind of a shock. A very different expression of timeless assurance and warmth, without any plastic frills ; Very unusual, unique, strong and enjoyable read Loved the lines "The old world's resisting rearranging"
Beyond rattlesnakes and horseshoes, nice last line too, i enjoyed the read a take care But, Honey I would defend you like a pimp defends his whores that part is good and really true. it is sad that people in today's society are like that deffending those they just want to use. So the next time anyone bothers you and your feeling all battered and abused Remember just give me a call I'll give the bastard his dues it is hard to find guys that would kick another guy's arse if that guy hurts the woman. i had to kick a guy's arse at school because he wouldn't leave me alone. it is sad that i had to do that. (sorry if i miss spelled anything. i have a hard time spelling sometimes. lol) anyway great poem.
