My Cowboy


His incandescent rays beamed down below

to reveal a massive crown of platinum tresses

peeking out from behind the general store's oversized

barrels, while the woman belonging to them

eagerly anticipated a charitable gentleman's arrival,

having yet to ask the man her burning question.


He detected a pair of lush green irises, therefore

pouring his brilliance over violently wild golden locks

which never failed to suspend the woman's

yearning heart every afternoon the boy rode

past her on his handsome steed, admiring

the lovely beauties who'd lined up to witness his presence.


Burning his brightest stream of radiance

upon the young maiden, he attempted to single

her out from the seemingly conventional choice

of picks, nonetheless, as the man's striking orbs

pierced into hers, she glowered resulting in

his respectful nod, furthering his examination of the roundup.


As much as he tried to de-emphasize his all revealing

blaze, the remaining eligible bachelorettes were planted

openly beneath his existence, leaving such a tender

vaquero no choice but to feast on the gorgeous

charmers standing before him, however he only presented

a polite greeting to all save a scarlet haired female.


The vibrant glow radiating from the top of her

head forced him to curse himself for his expansive

irradiating abilities, unable to prevent the buckaroo

from smiling pleasantly, followed by the tip

of his hat, reaching out for her to accept his hand,

her usual response, as always, being to gently decline.


Heading for the horizon, he threw an apricot

splendor across the fair haired maiden's entity,

somehow causing an instinctive twist of the

gentleman's neck in that he acknowledged her presence,

and only then did she ask him such a desirous question

through her eyes, his reply, another obeisant nod.


Now that he'd touched the horizon, he knew

she'd be here before long, asking him about

the events of the day, but he couldn't help question

his subject's action, knowing full well her

silent inquiry to her beloved gaucho

most likely generated in the point being moot.


A pair of cobalt blue eyes demanded if she'd

dropped in yet, his answer an indication

rising skyward so those haunted orbs

followed it until they discovered a diminutive

globular sphere faintly illuminating what

was metamorphosing into early evening.


Despite her lesser emitting qualities,

she remained brighter than he'd ever

see the chance to, for she shed her

bedazzling glimmer over the entire prairie,

casting it on two scintillating emeralds

moving rapidly, sending the girl into the dust.


She immediately sent a wave of shimmering

glory onto the situation, revealing the man

of the woman's most passionate affections,

his asking for pardon bringing forth her

resentful scowl albeit still allowing it,

on the inside, her heart bleeding profusely.


Her pale streak shone down enchantingly

exposing the couple's mesmerizing gaze

into each other's eyes, her commanding why

he'd been running from town, his explanation

committed robbery, because it was noted

he'd stolen a maiden's heart, just wasn't sure whose.


No amount of her light could overpower

the white gleam emerging from the pale blonde's

smile, nevertheless, she was satisfied in seeing

the woman's fervent question read clearly

through the man's own vivid green forests.


Accepting that she was no longer needed,

she turned half of herself in, deciding to

observe the gentleman inching his lips

closer to the woman's own luscious pair, placing

his hands on her bare shoulders, leaning

in further almost tasting his first kiss with her.


Barely leaving a sliver of herself awake, she'd

noticed the young stud stopped short,

mounted his steed, tipped his hat, then gave a reverential

nod followed by a broad grin and a wink,

and it was then she realized he was waiting for her

to ask her question aloud so she whispered,


"...Will you be my cowboy?..."
