• Gnarled roots carve soil
    Wise stump cries a somber tale
    Greed demands encore


    His eyes gray blue shine
    A heart of steel, morals gold
    With duty came death
    "Saddle up partner"
    A sheriffs final remark
    Tumbleweed preacher


    Whiskey on the rocks
    Cheeky grins surround my scowl
    "Another round?"


    Alley darker black
    Trashcan torch flickers distant
    "Tell me dear, help where?"


    I howl in silence
    Rasp gritty mania aloud
    His ear to my lips
    Hush your foolish mind
    Blind it is to glee, echo
    "Why can't they hear you?"


    Romeo screams up
    Juliet you are my sun
    And I a world dark
    Shine your love on me
    And promise I forever
    Love, gravity locked
