    Your head will be full of soot and dirt, and your heart will be wretched from

    its very place. You will want to cling to the clouds, and kick the devils face

    in.

    You will be stranded in the desert, with only demons to guide you. Here,penguins can fly and you can dance on water. But let me warn you, there

    are no roads. You will have to find your own way. There is only one city.

    And in the centre of it stands a statue of the most lovely man on earth.

    But that man left that city. He left that world. and now there are rebels

    everywhere.

    But there is also music, and providence. So do not fear, when you come in

    here. The Cowboy Chronicles will make you burst and heave. Enjoy.

    He`s the cocoa

    There`s nothing but love

    Maybe

    Just maybe

    He will be around for Christmas

    And clink glasses with me as midnight comes around

    And we could love each other into a new year

    You exist, and that in itself is magic. We happened, and you gave me a lion heart. Now I am

    only brave and enduring because you found me. How in the world did you find me love. When I

    cried, you cried. My sadness was yours as well, and vice versa. I will try to kiss you through the

    dark sky before I sleep, and through the lazy mornings as I wake up.

    Its not your fault I have these demons. You have your own terrible, terrible demons as well. In

    your absence I feel the truest heartache. You were the rational one. But I came all this way

    because of you. As the snow fell today, I missed you. I missed you because I wanted so badly

    to show you the snow. Its not like we are provinces apart. You saw the snow, just like me. But I

    wanted you to take me out and hold me there, with the flakes surrounding us like the purest of

    blankets. I think what I am trying to say is that you pulled me from a hellish mind, and gave me

    enough strength to go it alone. I love you.

    There is nothing like being best friends with the saddest of songs

    And there is nothing like befriending the pictures I took of you

    I cant seem to sleep

    Even though sleep is the best think I could do right now

    But all that would do is take me to tomorrow

    Where I would wake up

    Wake up without you

    Good morning sunshine, no more

    You left something at my house

    It was not physical

    It is nothing you can hold

    You left something I cannot feel with my hands

    But rather with my heart

    I miss his green eyes

    He was my fuckery

    Now Im all alone

    With monuments of him inside my head

    There is no cloud nine, for he is the only cloud in my mind

    And when the world burns

    I will run too him

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    My heart exploded into a nebula of uncanny pain

    I am the enchantress from the stars

    And when these abnormal cells consume me

    I will burst into flames

    And shoot gamma rays of ferocious hate your way

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    Youre my space hero

    My Orion

    I wont burn through your atmosphere

    Like the other unloving asteroids

    Youre my cowboy constellation

    Ill rotate around you

    Ill be your extra moon

    Triton wont have anything on me

    Ive written poems and sentences provoked by other men

    But Ive just come to find out all of them are really about you

    You are the truest wonderousness

    Your tears shattered my world

    And when I held you

    I knew that just because we were over

    There was no fucking way I could love another

    No way, no how

    You are the gold to my heart

    Now I finally know why birds were created

    Eagles, to portray your fierceness

    Owls to show you are otherworldly and strange

    And doves, to show you are lovely beyond comprehension

    He was born from a melody

    His kindness seeped into my life and belief

    which had been laying dormant inside me for so long

    grew as he showered me

    Showered me with understanding and patience

    How can a month feel like forever

    I should have traced along your lips when I had the chance

    You are a haunting

    You are the most powerful predecessor

    The one that got away

    I would traverse all the solemn suburbs in the world

    Just to be by her side

    I feel the affection of her heart emanating through her eyes

    The most innocent soul

    And when she looks upon the antiquity of a novel

    Her eyes linger upon its words

    The most gentle person I have ever known

    Her fascination with all that is old

    She is a corner of the world that society has yet to explore

    Such a luxurious spirit

    She is not frail, she is fiercer than eagles or leopards

    She has no chuckle

    she has a laugh as genuine as the books that surround us

    These are my joys

    These are my journeys

    When I spend Tuesday's with Lisa

    16/60

    All the things I would burn to be by your side

    But youYou could stay away forever

    He is not a liar

    He is not a bad man

    He is goodnessAnd we will shine in the skies like two great planets

    the yin and yang of the universe

    Like two great independents

    19/60

    My words are boring

    In the depth of sickness, I have nothing in my creative limbs

    Thank god for children

    Or walk-in clinics would be colourless and bland

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    20/60

    You are my forever being

    You will last longer in my heart than a maple in the earth

    So this is my life

    So this is my heart

    And I have nothing you gave me

    Nothing that was yoursSo you became a dream

    The memories into flashbacks

    You are my dog days

    You have my vengeance

    You are a powerful remark

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    21/60

    I`ll take minutes out of my day to remember you

    As if you were a fallen soldier

    Or a remote soul

    My feet

    They move from place to place

    And in my wake

    I leave your traceEveryday I get stronger

    Because I bear the weight of you on my chest

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    22/60

    Could I find a man who gives me atmosphere

    Alas, I am a fair maiden

    Since you stepped off my grass, I have sought only solitude

    Its the musics I match with

    And all my literary dreams

    Their kinship is all i have needed

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    23/60

    Ive tied my pleasures to his inches

    Always too perturbed by any other mans notions

    Allergic to their futile desires

    I am not a wreckage any longer

    For him I would be a Manson

    For him I would be a Dahmer

    I am a full grown willow tree

    Always weeping

    You are now a fugitive in my landYou ran

    You hid

    You threaten my very freedom

    My precious thing

    Let your place of isolation be permanent

    Lest I should volunteer you to the hyenas and the panthers

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    24/60

    Were the reasons ever clear

    Do you remember the swan in the water

    Do you remember the mosquito swarmed evenings

    You are my cherished being

    You have eclipsed all humans

    I would throw myself into the river should you ever vanish

    Minute beatings of the heart

    I have set my truths in gear

    I am snake

    I am wraithLet the gods accept you

    And when the heavens break free

    Those gods shall escort you to me

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    25/60

    Ill run away to Edinburgh tonight

    With just my songbird

    Flying high

    A suitcase and these wretched lines

    I am exhausted, but I can never seem to escape you enough

    My hair is wild

    Its 4 in the morning

    And I cant seem to settle

    You strangle my placid dreams

    But what am I to you

    You big dummy

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    26/60

    I need to leave town

    to forget how I was your babe

    Ill move Texas

    Get a job at a call centre

    And find another lover

    Another green

    All the things i would do to fucking forget you

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    27/60

    Can you hear my frequency

    I call

    With supersonic force

    Do you think of all the things you will never have

    After you turned your back

    Oh, want an evil deed

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    28/60

    I was born from an eclipse

    the moon saved my heart

    the sun, oh sun

    you are the strangest relative

    You have never been wicked

    I love the flames and the fires

    because they are you in disguise

    But I feel the winter rains, because the cowboy has left the building

    I have to go back for him

    But I wont

    He will wither and fail

    because he left me and Sol

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    29/60

    From the recesses of my weary mind

    Your image is reflected onto every chair and couch in my home

    My memory rewinds and repeats

    The city is blooming once more

    I remember the muddy waters we peered at and loved

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    30/60

    I miss you biting my neck

    My own sweet little cowboy

    You rebuilt me

    Id give anything to be your dearest again

    The heat from last summer warmed my heart for a lifetime

    My lovely sweet giant

    You are as tall as trees

    You loved the tragedy out of me

    This summer is mine alone

    I will always wonder about my friend, my guy

    Now its just solitude and I

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    31/60

    I have medals of war all over my soul

    Being alone gets such a bad rap

    I love the rain

    And all the words on a page

    Sometimes I feel bad for all the wrong reasons

    Theres no reason for me to loathe my melancholy days

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    32/60

    The sun is my flower

    I am mother natures vessel

    I am spirited away by the thought of his eyes

    Please dont ever let the summer set

    Because I have groove in my bones

    Give me an ancient watch, and time shall go on forever

    I will always have the wheel

    But you, you are a coward

    The moment you left, my soul cursed you

    I will always be in the back of your eyes

    When you lust, you will lust for me

    I was the tramp you loved

    And when you rest your head at night, with an inebriated condition

    Just remember, I am the land to your tumultuous ocean

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    33/60

    Will he feel his consequences

    Will it lure him into the satisfaction of my arms

    Is he whole

    Is he free

    Does he bed with another woman yet

    Does he enter a different room on constant nights

    Let the explosions in the sky warn him of his infidelity to our married souls

    My particles still meet with his, so frequently

    They march to and fro

    Because the memories let them do so

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    34/60

    How can I keep my composure

    I scream at the air as if you could hear me

    My tears are fluent in thoughts of you

    All the weeping willows of my insides

    If you saw me again

    Would you fold at the sight of me

    Would your words be as true as the day that you left me

    Do you still grasp onto beer bottles

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    35/60

    I almost saw the evilest man in the world tonightI want him to parade with me across the streets and sidewalks again

    And be extravagantly careless

    He could have led me into destruction

    Again

    Again

    But when I lay my head down at the end of the day

    Its you that I think of

    You who have brought me to this soulful sanctuary I call me

    There is no one

    you are absolete

    Goodnight

    Goodbye

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    36/60

    Flowers and sunbeams

    Indifference has my backMost girls have self esteem dreams

    Bleach blonde locks and the style of scene

    Those arent my dreams

    I have my unique finesse

    Yet I like my men old fashioned

    With whiskey in one hand and their heart in the other

    Discovering yourself feels like discovering Asia

    With its spices and decadent cloth

    Ive got blonde hair I'm told people are jealous of

    Ill always love his imperfections

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    37/60

    You got lost in the wind

    Its ok

    I love youI need you

    You never left me heartless

    You just let me down

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    38/60

    I free my dreams

    I fear my heart

    I have no more words

    I have lost my art

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    39/60

    I never see us meeting again

    The future has engulfed any memory of you

    You are no longer

    You have disappeared

    I have kissed you off

    Finally

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    40/60

    I spent the entirety of a day surrounded by books

    Plentiful

    But I still came home to the ghost of you

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    41/60

    You are underneath my nails

    This tea can only comfort me for so long

    Showers just arent the same

    Its time to come home now, my dear

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    42/60

    The evils of feeling

    I still remember your tears upon my palms

    I cannot replace you

    I cannot forget you

    People spend their whole lives wanting to love with such nakedness

    It is almost summer again

    Almost

    How can I feel the warmth of the sun without you beside me

    That feeling will make me sick to my stomache

    To love you was to love a timebomb

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    43/60

    I wonder of you pang like i do

    I hope you do

    How could you not

    He removed my dog days

    He never rests

    Never breaks

    Hes teeming with talent

    What a songbird

    What a voice

    Hes quite a friend

    He respects my truths

    Me and him, we are the revolvers

    The weapons of the youth

    We are the golden eyes

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    44/60

    We sprung from the digital underground

    We cannot stop the booms in the sky

    But we can stop wars

    With all our might

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    45/60

    Hell always be my perfect babe

    As sunlight pounds my window

    I dare not leave my cave

    For a footstep out of this door

    Is a deathwish

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    46/60

    My exploding cells will traverse the stars

    I leap from word to word

    I have a promiscuous vocabulary

    I love my floorboards

    They give me my bearings

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    47/60

    Give me back my cowboy lover

    Ill get all the aliens to aid me

    I put six months aside to preserve your memory

    Ill put in a little more than five more

    What did you do, my dear

    Is your future sight fogged and weary

    Your song is wicked, yet it plays over and over within my ears

    Ill never forget you

    My flame

    My fury

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    48/60

    I say hello to strange

    He wears a bowtie and has the oldest eyes

    I have to get my bearings

    For it is bigger on the inside

    He lies at the heart of the universe

    His phone rings

    Is it Tolstoy

    is it Jackson

    He is nomadic

    very very clever

    His hearts are beating

    His soul is rosy

    I love him all the time

    All the time

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    49/60

    The warmth of summer stings heavy on my heart

    You still roam my halls

    I lay in silence

    As the wreckage of you lies all around me everywhere I go

    My soul, I cannot control it

    It waits for you to wander out of the darkness

    You were my Rochester

    You welcomed my stubborn ways

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    50/60

    I am a fresh blend of the good and the worstBut my heart still pours from the skies

    I give all credit to Cowboy and Tividar

    For they are the fellows

    They are the strong giants

    As I trek through disasters

    And pass through great calm

    I carry the hearts

    of the best loves ever known

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    51/60

    I am quiet in my contemplations

    I try to be the best at what I doI worship the words of every dialect

    Of every tongue

    Me gusta

    Sehr viel

    These words are like ants

    they are like mice

    they skitter and skatter throughout my mindfield

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    52/60

    I am in love with Zeus

    Its clear

    Its obviousI would burn foals for him

    Hera is my foe

    I will be his freakshow

    For I am a sinner

    Nothing can strike me down

    I have his bolts

    I am his blonde tramp

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    53/60

    I suffer from pestilence

    Your departure has made me weary

    I dream of apocalypses and deaths

    Anything where I could find myself suddenly by your sideOur conversations were liquid

    So constant

    So moving

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    54/60

    Restless ideas

    All the chasms between us

    With pen in hand, I will traverse to the largest mountains and the most remote temples

    And embed your name into the stones

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    55/60

    I miss my trash factor

    My promiscuous ways

    How could I turn back now, after such a man

    I cant be with another

    Nor can I bed with one

    I am wastedI am a creature

    I used to be the most quintessential whore

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    56/60

    You stole me away from the suave dream

    You tampered with all the betrayals that had befallen on me

    You were mine

    For a while nine months time

    You were my friend

    You were my lover

    You were my everythingI once knew a man who turned me blue

    Who turned me green

    He turned my evils into demons

    And you turned my demons into beggars

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    57/60

    My marches are wild

    It is clear, I only love fools

    from Rico to Cowboy

    From a desert to a forest

    And what a forest it was

    It gave me nutrition's and beyond

    So I built a grand hall from its woodsAnd built a statue from the bones of the deceased

    Within the forest, I ate the berries and nuts

    For there was never too little

    But one day I had to leave that beautiful forest

    I kissed its trunks goodnight, goodbye

    I dont know how my dear forest is doing know

    I loved it with all my heart

    I trust the insects and the animals watch over it

    making sure no gypsy stays longer than a fortnight

    Now I stay in the delicious plains

    Where I run free

    and I can see my surroundings all around me

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    58/60

    Trial by fire

    I never saw him through rose coloured glasses

    He was never put on any pedestal

    his face materialized from the depths of my horrid affairs

    When he left me, he left condensation from his love on my ceiling

    So I gaze at it every night

    And every morning

    It drips upon my eyes

    So it looks like I have been cryingOh baby, its just your aftermath

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    59/60

    You were there at my worst

    I am tougher than ever

    You are the nurturer to my vitals

    We were quite a band

    I know we are always forever

    because i remember your preternatural eyes

  • 7/29/2019 The Cowboy Chronicles

    Ill let the heat of last summer fester in your failure

    Ive crashed back into the cowboy constellation

    Only to find out its a galaxy

    With planets undiscovered

    Theres the Shamokin planet

    With its illustrious atmosphere of green and burgundy

    and Metalhead moon, thats blazing with life

    Oh, I have only touched the surface of these plants

    the surface of this galaxy

    I may suffocate in these atmospheres

    But I would die in the lovliest waysIn the Cowboy galaxy
