My pen...

My pen is as dry as my lips
while my nose continues in it's...
drip drips

a sneezing is all I can do do
with this infernal AHHHHH-CHOOOOOO

and again my heart waits on the runway,
as always, a taxi-ing we will go
back to the gate,
or an "all clear" for another, fun day

jets fired up, rearing to go
as this Cowboy, on his steed
reads... on the words of Jaroslav Seifert,
he feeds

note a change of rhythm
a reason, a season for rhyme,
and then prose...

Easy boy, I say to him
"keep the horses under control
try not to screw this one up,
or scare her away"

this girl has class
hesitant, in a shell
...perhaps

but, its difficult to discern, to learn...
to discern a girl who is cautious
but, oh, will I ever learn...

"silence, silence is the key dear boy"
if she's curious, interested, silence...
hold your tongue

for a flower never blossoms...

(under the Gun)

Very good!
Sometimes it's not easy is it?
Like all of this but love the last two lines.
Good conclusion. Hope you listened to yourself....smile...

Yes, it is another good one.  I hope when you finally find what you are looking for you keep writing. (about being deliriously happy)
