As Those Western Blue Skies Up and Roared

As Those Western Blue Skies Up And Roared Cowboy rode his horse, gentle on the reins crossing hot prairie, while in lonesome pains yet rainbow song played in beating heart for soon he and his love, would never part. She a beauty with only eyes for he with an eager love larger than a sea her gentle touch, her lips gave sweet treasure she gave hope, in an unequal measure. From hill crest he soon saw her standing there in her radiant glow, nothing more fair spurring faithful mount, to her arms he went to ravenous angel heaven surely sent! As those western blue skies up and roared Cowboy knew Love, he had truly scored! Robert J. Lindley, 8-20-2019 Sonnet, ( Across The Burning Hot Desert He Rode )

I'm sorry I have not been around to read and comment on the many works you've produced in the last while, Robert... poetry has been very far from my mind of late... this is a fantastic sonnet to come home to, though. Excellent poetry, my friend, as always.

What a great experience that was Robert, I'm a great lover of westerns and could just picture the scene. Tom

Thank you my friend. Yes it was and it was as I if I had been transported back in time to both view from afar and also live and see it...

Written from a very vivid dream I had last night. I guess I've watched a thousand cowboy shows in my log life, but this dream seemed so real. Delayed writing this but somehow it forced me to sit down and compose, as the pressure to compose just became truly immense.
