Silent Spurs (another Saloon Story)

Swinging doors
smacked with redemption

Enter the amber eyes
perusing the joint
Sweeping turn of heads

a hand so resonate
to the play of the gun

a deepened Growl
rose to play

"Where IS HE"!

Of darkest shadows
an emerged figure
Ramshackled
dressed in black

lifting eyes so slowly
darkened
mouth so curled

his cards
silently spread

a delicate word
"Here"

as clicking boot spurs
hung long and low
tapped the sound

the death keeper
a gracious

flow

He rose his glass

torn pieces
from my heart

then Tipped his hat

"Another turning of the dirt my boy's"

Resting my hand
No one shall die again today

for my man
with goodness

I Shall wait

Walk with the preacher
today

As sodden dirt
is falling from their hands

My sudden thoughts

Create the deathly
Plans

hi Capturerapture

write what you dream
for there lays the key

be not asleep at times
for all shall be written

I have read
I have written

but they are words to only me

To have a comment is

A Welcoming, to my world.

Thank you

Soph

My queen of New Zealand in all her glorious
mystical poetry. But, me thinks the seashores she walks in crimson sunset
would make you smile.
