Trail

Trail

had a composite sketch of you in my mind

the wanted posters nailed to every chamber

of my expectation,

love, the reward for anticipation

as elation's posse

rounds you up,

the bounty expunged by

a few positive beats of enchanted incarceration

but then unwanted freedom

as my emotions suffer the capital punishment

of you putting the leaving noose

around my heart.

"noose around my heart." the way you are able to use words in such a complicated manor that somehow makes sense will never cease to amaze me.

The range can be very lonely when love leaves you high and dry.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Dale...yes it can.

One thing I've learned about wanted posters is never to use them for ID.
Seems like you got it bad, here, Desperado.
Better find the vixen and break her out!
