Image for the poem flor solitaria

flor solitaria

 
she was just another desert flower
who broke her own heart
by loving the wrong guy
she fell hard into every dream
believed every lie
 
I ride into town on a thunderstorm
for a woman with a bottle & an empty bed
then ride out with the wayward wind
but that doesn’t make me an outlaw –
was there ever a saint who never sinned?
 
there are songs we sing in a fever
& a passion that’s meant to be stolen
from the shallows of reason & rhyme
so brand me a brutal & savage lover –
the sex you remember is never sublime
 
don’t weep, broken flower, when I’m gone
with a burr in my saddle & a rebel yell
burning obdurate bridges with a single flame
dream on of the lust you were lessoned –
Hermosa...kiss me farewell & forget my name
