Ancient and Young

.the gunslinger.

a wrinkly man

with paper skin

under a cowboy hat

existing intentionally

with skin like leather

ancient and young

skin tight fixation

around beauty

in front of a goal

deep blue

the eyes of a bombardier

a singular

purposed 

searching man

with a terrifying gaze

from a pleasant set of eyes

wearing a heavy pair of guns

my ludicrous man

cloaked

symbolized

immortal

no doubt

original form into template

no man can choose

i will be my fantasy clint eastwood

idealized

forgoing pain

relentless

i will shoot with my hand

i will aim with my mind

we are going to be hurt.

a touch of strange" Roland Deschain

Just one of the best King works...this is dope!

You and your usage of the word "dope" cracks me up. It's dope.

Gunslinger, nice...
It's been a while but one of the best series I've read was the dark tower series.

[Davidgeo]

The first movie is being made as we speak. Idris Elba is playing Roland.

Stevey King's core work is highly underrated. they better not f**k up the dark tower like they fucked everything else up of his on screen.

Well, the Shawshank redemption was perfect, the green mile was good, pet semetary is legendary. The Shining was good but not true to the book. Misery was pure gold. The Stand was campy but good s**t... It changed the way we look at clowns (that and John Wayne Gacy). And of course, The Running Man, 1980's Arnold was always a good show.

Honestly, I guess there has been a lot of good translation to the screen from King. I now have more hope for a good presentation of The Dark Tower to screen. (I did not spell or grammar check this)

I enjoyed 'eyes of the dragon'. Probably my next favourite of his.

If you can find it read "Rage" by s king. It's shockingly accurate 30+ years beforehand. Stephen King is underrated, I may have said that before.

And "the hunger games" is kind of a rip off of 'The Long Walk" by stevey kingmeister
