Poem of a mysterious horseman, he rides a black stallion, wind, murder,

Image via Wikipedia

 

The road was a ghostly ribbon:

a strange violet hue.

The sycamore trees orgasmic thrashing

as a frenzied wind blew.

A dark cloaked horseman

appeared on the horizon’s edge.

He whipped the horse forward;

this horse would never flinch.

The pounding hooves echoed

down the cobbled road.

The  madman charging forward

with his deadly load.

They never caught the horseman

who murdered the girls father.

He shot and hung him high.

No-re was he ever seen again

after the red cobbles dried.

They never found the stallion

with nostrils flaming fire.

Who flew like a dragon

until the prey hung higher.

She wept and moaned

at her window.

Watching the winding road.

His shadow imprinted

the cobbles but now

the wind he rode.
