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

Love the title John and love the word Hermosa. Bit of a heartbreaker, but still beautiful.

Nice job Mr. My favourite part, "but that doesn’t make me an outlaw – was there ever a saint who never sinned?"

"she fell hard into every dream"
"I ride into town on a thunderstorm"
"dream on of the lust you were lessoned"
.once again once more he's done it again....
loved those lines.......sigh

A woman never forgets.
A savage lover;
those are the ones best remembered.
Brutally beautiful work, John,
and the artwork was a great choice...
