MacGregor Tagliaferro Poems

Dear pretty muse, open your eyes,
How can I sleep when you lie near?
Were I with you all night I could,
From sleep be free and never need.
...

The day we met
Stands apart
From all the other days
In my memories
...

He was so tired
He had not slept well
He needed to check on the horses
He needed to split and stack some wood
...

Amid the mystic fields of dreams
I wandered, and came on a grave.
Breathlessly still was all around
Yet breathin' with an easy heart;
...

Those eyes that set my thoughts and dreams on fire,
Those winsome lips that hold my heart in chains,
Those lovely legs which conquered my desire,
That wit which of my thoughts does hold the reins
...

I remember, longingly, when
Your lips, which I adored, would touch
Mine, and your lovely fingers clutched
My heart, and I in turn clutched yours;
...

When it was all over
He returned to the house
He went up into the bedroom
And saw her dress
...

We woke early in the mornin'
I brought her coffee in bed.
We worked out then washed each other
I started writin' on the porch
...

Sun shinin' down
Stars fill the sky
Give me shelter
Though without you
...

10.

Thinkin' of Paris
Always begins and ends
With thoughts of you
and how you brought
...

He finally stopped talkin'
A wave of relief washed over him
Surprised how easily came the words
As easily as how the words came
...

She opened his latest letter
And looked at the picture enclosed
She read the letter; then again
She looked at the picture and smiled
...

She asked, What was I sad about?
Why am I sad? Let me count the ways
There is an undercurrent
Of sadness in me
...

Now; old and grey and tired, done with the day,
By the fire with this book and a whisky,
Slowly readin', and dreamin' of that look
Your eyes had in the lengthening shadows;
...

Every
Damn day
Every
Dark day
...

Something magical happens
In bein' with a woman
Who can hold the heart and soul
Of an inamorato
...

Full woman, supple flesh, hot moon
Thick smell of pine trees down by the river
What obscure brilliance opens between two lovers
What ancient need does a woman touch with her senses
...

Ever come across a picture
That stops you for a moment
Because the picture reminds you
Of a time or a place or a someone?
...

Outside

Cold
Wind blows
...

Dreamed we were in The Court of Two Sisters
The slow green fans turnin' in the courtyard
The green napkins, the waiters all in green
In early afternoon, we ordered a big breakfast
...

MacGregor Tagliaferro Biography

Cowboy poet/lyricist/philosopher grew up on a ranch on the High Plains. A good day is any day that includes strong coffee, a warm fire, iced tea, red wine, readin', writin' and a soft touch. My poems and lyrics are about love or the lack thereof. W. B. Yeats said, 'I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.' I could not agree more. I have another website where the topic is all about the dead. I loved a beautiful woman but she loved me not. She was my friend and muse and that was enough so that the Muse of Beauty spoke to me often. Then I lost her and now the only muse that speaks to me is the Dark Muse. Cowboy poet from morning break Wrote until the close of light, Never a day too long to make One word or sentence right)

The Best Poem Of MacGregor Tagliaferro

Halycon Days

Dear pretty muse, open your eyes,
How can I sleep when you lie near?
Were I with you all night I could,
From sleep be free and never need.
Alas, my dear, you are not near:
And sadly, I must lie alone.
Unless you join me, in my dreams
Then these days can go on and on

Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail

You, in infinite ways inspire
These words, this vision, this desire.
Come with me so that we may cling
To these days we cherish and sing.
For without this, without desire,
We will always want for love's fire.
Nothins lost that cannot be caught
Life without love, livin' for naught

Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail

So come on Muse, please come away.
In these days in this dream let's stay,
Because this is Time's holiday,
Sacred to hold, not thrown away
How can I convince you to say
You will come, now, with me today
Tell me we can find the right way
So come on Muse, please come away

Halcyon days never endin'.
You shall find wherever you sail
Me all the while attendin'
To and lovin' you without fail
