BRUCE MARTONE Poems

NOW THE TIME HAS COME
TO SAY GOODBYE
SO LET'S SHARE A TEAR OR TWO
AND WHISPER THE WORDS I LONG TO MISS
...

IT'S WHERE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
AND MY PRAYERS GET ANSWERED
WHEN I THINK OF YOU
AND IT'S WHERE
...

ME AND MARY SITING ON THE SWINGS
DRINKING WARM BEER
IN THE SOFT SUMMER RAIN
JUST WATCHING THE WORLD PASS US BY
...

my daddy got up every day
and headed to work
to earn his pay
and my mother never got up
...

IF THE WIND SHOULD BLOW
AWAY MY THOUGHTS
WOULD YOU CATCH MY THOUGHT'S
AND MAKE THEM COME TRUE
...

SOMETIMES I WANT TO BE
LIKE A BRIDGE
WHICH STANDS TALL
OVER THE WATER
...

WELL MY BAGS ARE PACK THERE BY THE DOOR
I'M SAYING GOODBYE TO YOU ONCE MORE
SO HERE'S A HUG SHARE MY KISS
SAVE THE WORDS THAT I LONG TO MISS
...

STAYING AWAKE BECOME ENDLESS
AND NIGHT'S SEEM SO LONG
THE STARS AREN'T SO BRIGHT
AND I LOST MY FAITH IN THE NIGHT
...

do you remember
when we were young
acting like hero's we wanting to be
but never got the job done
...

now your eyes go blind
and your blood gets cold
while your mind wonders off
and your soul stay behind
...
