Lightening Stallion

Johnney Ringo a hard man a cowboy a clute
Leads Stallion and mares to the valley and bute
This white rearing beauty looms large on two legs
Call on a price who sells or who begs

Sweep down to the range between those two hills 
The sage and scallion the lead horses fills   
With dust cloud a trailing my eyes will blot out
The Stallion leads them a neigh and a shout

Circling round and a stamping of mare 
The frenzied alure and the cowboys a scare
Calmness descends and the bust bowl is clean
The night air a twitching the crickets are mean 

Saddle on ear and a belly of beans 
pork from a can and the coffees a dream 
Star light and shooting away to the east 
a coyote calling for famine or feast.

A sleep by the night not a groan to be heard
A crack of the light from that thunderous bird
The horses stampede over dinner and plate
Grab all your stuff and run down to the gate 

The cowboy a chase to corral once again
The blunder the bus and the saddle a bend
It's hard and its tough a work load to bare
He'd rather write this and just sit in my chair.

Revent

Late night slow jam listen,
Late night Facebook creepin,
I'm still up, and thinking.
I haven't seen you in a minute
And that beautiful smile I 
haven't seen it.
You would of still been mine if I 
pay attention.
If only I was ambition
And If I had listen.
You would of still been my 
beautiful blessin.
Now your a big part of my life 
that I'm missin.
Trying to forget you is my 
mission.
But it's hard when your still in 
my vision-Mario Perez

My Fantasies Alive Go To a Dead End

From reality
To fantasy
From boredom
To imaginative 
Away goes my mind
To my fantasy wonderland

I dream of not the sugarplums 
Or fairies and dragons
I dream of not just the ordinary

I dream of things out of reality 
Far from things seen in life
I dream of my imagination
And of my creativity

I go into a sleep of where the world may end
I go into a sleep of what awaits for me
I go into a sleep of wonders
That some may not comprehend

My dreams may go from light to dark
From evil to good 
Or sometimes it may be misunderstood

I could dream of flying far away 
Or exploding the earth
Maybe even bringing the future
Back to present day

But this dream this particular night
Awaits one big mistake
A mistake one might not forget 
That will haunt me for the rest of my life

I dream of a beautiful family
Of daisies and roses blossoming outside our home

I’m playing in the backyard 
And the sound of the singing of birds fills my ears
I find a glowing rock
Green and old
Covered with an engraving untold

The sudden smell of Sheppard’s pie and crescent rolls fills my lungs
As I bury the rock under the sun
I run to the door
Wipe off my feet
And devour the savory treat

The night falls and I’m sleeping once more
A dream within a dream 



I wake the next morning to find that everything’s dead
My family is dead
A deep deep sleep fills their head, soul, and body

I find the mayor and 5 people coming towards me 
This cannot be good
They come up and say
What have you done?
I do not ask what I have for I know not 
Then they say you buried the crystal stone under the sun

They ask each other what they shall do 
Then they turn and say
We should kill you

Everything goes white
As white as the pale white snow in the mid of December
I awake in a cold sweat
As cold as the November night breeze
And find myself wondering
What does this mean?

Whether it be a nightmare
Or mid summer nights dream
For a second there
 I wondered if my fantasies alive where about to go to a dead end
