Desperado, beyond the lines of belief

Desperado – beyond the lines of belief

What patchy rogue rejects the rule of blue,
This cosmic quilt of fragments casting shades,
Who shreds the fabric of the known and true,
And weaves a trail of riddles with furtive braids?

What patchwork seeker chases the fringe of light,
This maverick with a veil for a face,
Who scans the void for clues

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 life of struggle,
You're on your way to completing your hurdle.
Education

Desperado

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
and temptation can be tamed;
frozen feet, ever-so-cold
will thaw and live again.

So,

Ballad of a Desperado

...inspired by the Robert Earl Keen Jr song 
   'The Road Goes On Forever'


Flyin' high thru south west Texas
black Camaro's leakin' oil,
radiator needs attention,
sputterin', it starts to boil.

Up ahead a service station,
gotta get attention quick,
a fast mechanic and a twelve pack,
cigs and chew will do the trick.

Curt's his name, his disposition,
mean, and dangerous

Desperado

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 to hightail it
Just as fast as I can go
They can

Desperado

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 floating in the deepest sacrifice;
Have no home for placing my

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 as he strode to the saloon.
By the look on his

Desperado

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.

Desperado

An aimless desperado
A cowboy dressed in black
Leaving a trail behind you
And never looking back

Spurred on by inner longing
A drive that keeps you strong
No ties that you can cling to
When the night is long

Unforgiving days of desert heat
No water to quench your thirst
Nothing that will hold you
Till you exercise that curse

Searching, never finding
And still the trail
