Dillon

the horse hunkering 
rain drenched muddy
up on the hill ears down.

Epitaph For a Badman

Here lies the outlaw James Dillon
Most of all he needed killin'
The posse made of twenty souls
Buried him here shot full of holes

Beyond The Badge

While sitting as one
in my grandfather’s chair   
Gunsmoke on screen
a Dodge City affaire 

Saturday night
as two spirits entwine
Matt Dillon to marshal 
— our hopes redefined

Premium Member my wild west came in on a tv set

Marshall Dillon in Gunsmoke
Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in Rawhide
Paladin Have Gun will Travel
John Wayne in bunches of westerns
the pattern was easy....
The cowboys always win
Hero wears a light hat
Villain is stuck with black hat
Indians never win
TV in the 60’s gave me new terms
Dance hall girl, sage brush, wagon train
I reminisce about the wild west I know

Beauty - Inspired By Jenny Dillon

BEAUTY ~~~~~~~~~~~
Your feelings, like silence disguised by sound. Climb your mental mountain there beauty will be found. It is in the mirror every time you view, what you see is beauty, what you see is you! Now your up there you have to shout it to the world You always have been, now let your beauty be unfurled.

Dillon

I wish that I had only
got a chance to say good-bye
i wish I could of taught you
my favorite lullaby
I wish I could of been there
cause maybe you'd be here
to save me from the sorrows
that burn away the tear
you are my greatest treasure
and I know somewhere in the sky
you are looking down upon me
waiting for the day when I
will look toward the heavens
knowing we must be apart
yet smile up toward you
cause your still here in my heart

If Only You Were Real

By Jenny Dillon

As I reach my arms out to you
As trees sway in the summer breeze
As our love begins to brew
As treasured memories come to me with ease.
If only you were real
And not a person in my dreams
If only you could feel
Were nothing is as it seems.
If someone mildly represented thee
If you were as true as the buttercups
If you were not a fantasy
We’d walk together with our heads up.
If I could take you on a date,
We’d take our chance at luck and fate.
