'Hunting Hearts'
Gray smoke slithers from drying buffalo skins
up to a beet crimson sky as the new day begins
stirring of a kindling fire; black hair unbraided
she churns lustful desires; she herself, a flame created
A young brave awakens with strong outstretched arms
as she begins baking this morning’s filling charms
His fingers find a bronzed tit to playfully tug
and pulls her back; hungrily, to the bear skin rug
Like a painted pony ridden hard in a blazing sun;
swift as tomahawks thrown, the brave’s sudden urge was done
He gathered up his buckskins and then began to dress
as Little Deer lay smiling; remembering his firm caress
"Where are my hunting moccasins?," he asked, but all in vain
she said,” Here are the others – to me they’re all the same.
I took them to the river’s edge to wash buffalo blood all out
Then they sank down into river’s bed when I heard a shout”
"I am a fearless hunter and today hunting I will do!"
the brave said angry; took the shoes, and out the flap he flew
The teepee seemed much colder now; as if it turned to stone
Little Deer’s passions melted; now was ashamed and all alone
She made her daily journey down to the river’s cleansing pool
in hottest part of day, it so helped to get her cool
Stepping to the river’s bank, she began to shed her clothes
then dove into the chilling waters~ this beauty, Cherokee Rose
"Hello," came a familiar voice that continued on to say
from down by the river’s edge -it was the Cowboy from yesterday!
"I have been waiting so long for you," the cowboy softly said
Little Deer was breathless; shocked - and all her clothes shed
"For me? I am but a Cherokee squaw and you are not from tribe”
Little Deer was so confused, but suddenly felt alive
"You are such a beautiful woman and that is all I see”
The cowboy said as he knelt down on his one chap- laced knee
She felt her soul now stirring and new yearnings start to brew
for this handsome cowboy staring with passions for her, too
She stepped out of the water; her flower’s dew exposed
desires flamed and blazed again~ deep in a Cherokee Rose

A rose is a rose is a rose...except for Cherokee Rose, she is something else. No time to write anymore, must read next installment.
The epic continues,
the tale's well told;
with love and lust
and turning cold
and warmth restored
with lust anew
vote on this installment. it's a smooth read. i'm thinking that since this is about hunting hearts, i've detected a slight alteration in mood, especially since the hunting is proving that it isn't as easy to get as thought. great read art!!.......don
