Surrounded by guys as she makes their hearts twirl

Born a lover, man of valor and strength
Admiration of women, eyes in length

Born to conquer by hand
From the sword lives the strong
Bold and louder than a...

The price we pay 
For these countries of ours
Battlefield loss
Coffined towers
 
Daughters and sons
Gunned down
Patriotic souls
Perish, under Nature's sun

Muslim, Sunni or Shiite Bro's
Severe grudge,...

Whispers we'd heard for many a year
But we were so far north they never came near

In early spring I found you on Poetry Soup
A haven where wordsmiths congregate to recoup
Some sense of sanity in a world filled with grief
Your friendship, dear Highlander, has brought much relief

...Shakespeare and his pentameter, vital after four centuries,
Cervantes and his man Sancho,
Dumas and Montecristo,
the great tales of Boccaccio,
Dicken and his fine ghosts three.

Beethoven's sonic fury still staggers even jaded minds,
Tchaikovsky made eighteen-twelve

Since the day that I first left
Looking back,
Through different windows
Knowing there will be reft

I am for what I am, and I'll be

lay heavy, on a wrangler's eye
And the ice upon the time-worn world
of trodden hills, and where sheep have grazed
have glazed the trail, along the way

To flee from the sting of...

Its the final day
At the US Masters
This Highlander
Enjoying new pastures
 
Recently turned pro
Leader-board he tops
As he partners Tiger
Playing brilliant shots
 
Eagle, birdie
Birdie, par
With play like this
He's sure to go far
 
Neck and neck 
On the...
