My Cowboy Poet

The spirit of the old west
a cowboy of song
He sings a pleasant tenor on the world and its wrongs

And he lifts up the spirits when he sings of what's gone right
and he's cheered this game producers days and her nights

He explains his profession in the most basic ways
and he teases and conjoles and flirts and has his say

He's clearly a boss man on his own large spread
but he meets her in cyberspace to laugh and share a thread

We talk about the state of the world, the simple things
the things that bring us strife
and we talk about music and the sorrows of past life

And we speak about the challenges of our every day
and he makes me laugh and think so fast 
And cares melt away

Distraction, attraction, laughter and mental rapture
soulmate best friend energy there
I challenge this man to remain my friend
to have and hold on the physical plane

Cause cyberspace is fun and all, but I would rather be fly fishing
or riding horses in the back 40 and singing cowboy poetry

My cowboy poet  - Artimus (C)  For you, you know who  Susan Manley
