Cowboy

He calms this storm that's raging inside of me

When I'm with him, I am everything that I wish I could be.

He may not be a knight in shinning armour, but that's okay.

Because he is my hero, for he saves me everyday.

With just a touch of his hand, I feel every muscle relax and unwind.

Just having him near soothes and silences my damaged mind.

Feels like he can see into my shattered soul.

With him I feel beautiful and whole.

I feel a blush bloom across my cheeks, my knees suddenly feel so weak.

Those warm whiskey eyes have a hold on me that I can not explain.

I love hearing him say my name.

He has lassoed this tortured heart of mine.

With him I feel wild and alive inside.

Inspired writing! Very aptly describing one soul finding solace in another......I particularly like the "damaged mind" and "tortured heart". I always look for poems using words I have never used before, and "lassoed" is it, which fits in perfectly with the title and the poem in general. Just one constructive critisism - considering the use of so many original phrases, like "warm whiskey eyes" and "blush bloom across my cheeks", "knight in shining armour" seemed a bit archaic?

Well-written love poem, though I personally dislike the whole "Cowboy" theme throughout. But that's just me, I hate most Western/Cowboy movies anyway. The structure and bold font fit well and is decisive and the choice of words do paint a somewhat vivid picture.

Overall, pretty damn good!

To lasso a heart willing to bind, leaving all question behind, cowboys ride to sunsets, and are willing to return in time. Lovely

Or rather a different choice of words on the rhyme scheme, cry pardon.

I feel this writing is quite blunt. It's more easier to decipher than other, more famous poems such as those of Robert Frost. It seems to me this is poem describing female responses to those they fall in love with. Perhaps there could be rhyme scheme or use of meter. Although it appears very free verse at first glance.

Great rhyme and a true gent sounds to be that fills the heart with that ever so lasting love:)

A very tributary & captivating poetry it is. So many things with too much deepen depths of love you just pen'd up... quite industriously in few cascaded words. Brilliant. U certainly speak the heart. Keep it up!
