BRUCE MARTONE Poems

WENT OUTSIDE THE OTHER NIGHT
WISHING ON THE FIRST STAR BRIGHT
ASKING FOR MY WIFE TO COME BACK
NOW MY LIFE IS EMPTY
...

SLEEP MY LITTLE GIRL SLEEP
AND MAY I TUCK YOUR THOUGHT'S IN TIGHT
SO YOU CAN BEGIN TO DREAM TONIGHT
SO SLEEP MY LITTLE GIRL SLEEP
...

HIS BLOOD CRAWLS SLOW
HIS HEART BEATS FAST
HIS BODY WAY TO THIN
THE FLUID PUMP SLOW WITH IN
...

ride him cowgirl, ride him cowgirl
in your rodeo
show those NY boys how it's done
in your hometown way out west
...

I'M JUST A LONELY SOLDIER
WAITING TO GO HOME
I HAVE DONE MY JOB OVER AND OVER
AGAIN MY FRIEND
...

SHE IS IN HER RED LACE DRESS
WITH HER HAIR UP
AS HE IS IN HIS SUIT
BRINGING CHAMPAGNE CUPS,
...

I'M THE UMBRELLA MAN
DANCING IN THE RAIN
WITH NO WORRIES AND NO HURRIES
JUST FEELING THE FREEDOM OF BEING FREE
...

OH SUN SHINE
ARE YOU COMING BACK SOON
AND WILL YOU BE STAYING THE AFTERNOON
CAUSE SUNSHINE
...

SHE WAS A YOUNG CHILD
FORCE TO LIVE IN THE STREETS
THE PRICE SHE PAYS
FOR BEING WILD
...

I ALWAYS WONDER ABOUT
SO I TOOK A TRIP TO FIND OUT
SAILING THE SEA TACKLING THE WAVES
AND I'M STILL STAYING BRAVE
...
