BRUCE MARTONE Poems

honey please understand and try to see
the road ran out there nowhere to go
even our dreams are telling us they told us so
because our luck went dry when the money ran out
...

NOW THE TIME HAS COME TAKING HIM AWAY
AND RELEIVING HIM FROM HIS PAIN
THAT REMAIN MUCH TO LONG MAKING HIM WEAK
AND NOT SO STRONG IS NOW SAID AND DONE
...

WE WALK MILES AFTER MILES
CLIMBING UP HILLS AFTER HILLS
IN THE HEAT AND THAT MY FRIEND
BROUGHT US NO THRILLS
...

I NEVER WANTING MY DADDY TRADE
WORKING IN THE HEAT WITH THE SUN
BEATING DOWN ON HIM AND MY DADDY
LOOKING FOR SOME SHADE
...

THE TIME IS HERE, THE TIME WE SHARE
BUT MOST OF ALL IT'S THE TIME WE CARE
WHETHER YOUR HERE OR I'M OVER THERE
IT'S STILL OUR TIME FOR US TO SHARE
...

I'LL CATCH YOUR TEAR IF YOU SHOULD CRY
AND I WON'T EVEN ASK YOU WHY,
I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND, EVEN IF I'M NOT YOUR MAN
I'LL BRING YOU CLOSER TO YOUR WORLD
...

than and now, than and now
i'm gonna find my way out i swear somehow
and when i do i'm gonna dot my I and cross my T
before i say my final goodbye
...

I WRITE WITH A SMALL CANDLE ON MY DESK
WITH MY FEATHER PEN DIPPING IN THE INK
GETTING MY WORDS AND THOUGHTS TOGETHER
SO YOU WOULD READ IT
...

IF MY WORLD SHOULD HAPPEN TO CRUMBLE
ALONG WITH MY DREAMS THAT LAY ON THE GROUND
WOULD YOU COME TO COMFORT ME HELPING ME
LOSE MY FROWN,
...

if i was a writer the novel i would write for you
would be nothing more than a lot of words
words like i love you
and i would seal it with a kiss when i finish it
...
