Wisps

From wisps of smoke your ghost arose
And prompted this attempt at prose
Across the bridges long since burned
My thoughts again to memories turned

Astride my chestnut steed I see
Another dozen paths for me
The view is good, the hurdles clear
And one who loves me rides so near

You must take the rocky trail
Fall you must, and then you'll wail
I'll ride the quiet path with another
Please don't call me, go get your brother

Atop the rebel, who misbehaves
She's just the one to get my raves
Her perfect seat, and lovely smiles
Make centimeters of the miles

The future I have pledged to her
Although she may not know it
But when I trim her hedge for her
I'll make damn well sure to show it
