Best Desperado Poems

A lone desperado rode his lathered cayuse to old Santa Fe.
It was high noon, sweltering hot and dusty on that fateful day.
The handsome young outlaw wore deadly forty-fours on each hip,
And there were multiple notches etched on each pistol grip!

He dismounted and brushed men aside...

Desperado..
Searching for my fate
Lost and traveling
Trying to redeem my reckless ways

I'm kicking up the dust
On this dusty ol' back road
Searching, seeking
To redeem my outlawed soul

At a lonely crossroad
Fleeing from my broken past
It's a lasso around my neck
But I know it's something
Any cowgirl can surpass

I'm going...

a cocky young shooter called Bill
believed no one could rival his skill
alas it was liquor
that proved to be quicker
as they loaded him off to boot hill....

The frigid night releases Desperado
who slides between the sheets.
Ever-so-slowly she glides her toes
toward her lover who snores & sleeps.

The rise & fall of his sinewy chest
gives courage to her plan -
which is to snuggle ever-so-close
to the heat rolling off her man.

If her mission is successful

I, the one who weeps when the world is unreachable
I, the one who's always asking for freedom
I, the one who's trapped in the cage I create
Dying. 
Have I not the power to live and to love?
Have I not the misery of mystic happiness?
My soul is...

Flying high thru south west Texas
black Camaro's leaking oil,
radiator needs attention,
sputtering, it starts to boil.

Up ahead a service station,
got to get attention quick,
a fast mechanic and a twelve pack,

I don’t want to forget you
Even though it’s ended
I still think we were meant to be
I hope we can mend it
My heart feels heavy
I have so much on my mind
So much to say
But you’ve left me behind
And it’s devastating
To know you’ve lost faith
You left without...

INTELLECTUAL DESPERADO

Dear desperado,
Knowledge awaits you tomorrow,
If you painstakingly throw 
And expedite yourself like an arrow.
Though your foresight looks narrow,

Don't leave your mind incommunicado 
Or famished cos at seashore is where ships row.
Ignorance makes devious innuendo,
rising in a fearsome crescendo.
Deface this phase dear desperado.

Despite despicable deeds of a...

I’m
really
desperate
to please my heart
than anyone else;
I seem appear so near
but you are too blind to see 
what my eyes can not tell, so I 
now sleep in your illusive kisses-
for this pulsating mind o’ mine to rest....

I am like a young bird learning to fly
Like a little deer starting to walk
The roads are not clear I am lost in my ways, 
Reaching out to the world for help.
Temptations are strong and so is my desire
to explore and learn  
Please help...
