Kona Cowboy

Kona Cowboy

A slightly "different" cowboy poem... seems to be my specialty..

A far away vaquero
one dark Hawaiian night
let artificial heroes
lead him into a fight.

His saddlebags were taken,
his Appaloosa gone,
his lariat forsaken,
he vowed to move along.

His fragile spirit broken,
let down by life again,
his heartbreak left unspoken,
so all alone in pain,

he journeyed over water
to drink his sad away
and met a fallen daughter
from Wiamea Bay.

A thoroughfare to Nada
loomed in the cowboy's sight.
A Unicorn Remuda
trailed this Hawaiian knight.

She promised him forever.
he saddled up to ride.
forever turned to never,
the cowboy in him died.

The Devil's very envoy,
she was his final hope.
Aloha Kona Cowboy...
hanging under his own rope.
