Best Southbound Poems
When we are forced to stand our ground
Because someone is out of bounds
When you find yourself wanting to rebound
feeling like you have to stand your ground
Realizing your personal space
Has turned into a battleground
Taking the conversation southbound
Just hoping the situation doesn't compound
Before I know it's full-on aggression
One of life's hardest lessons
When you get bitten by the Devils venom
Looking to God in heaven
Hoping my engine will stop revin
Uncontrollable waves of word lashing
Surpassing my ability to stop us from crashing
When your character is attacked by an assassin
Making it impossible to ignore this full-on bashing
Feeling your temperature rise
As the blood fills your eyes
Believing that you're way to wise
Looking for a compromise
Knowing that taking it any further will jeopardize
Our friendship if we both don't empathize
Our hostile situation
That has my heart full on racing
With all this back and forth pacing
Making sure you're facing this threat
Trying not to do anything you will regret
Looking them directly in their eyes
Barking out how this leads to our friendship demise
Apparently, we are unable to stop the decay
When I feel it all slipping away
So sad I was unable to convey
How out of hand this runaway day
Found its own pathway
That left me feeling betrayed
So all that is left is to pray
For God to make it all go away
To help us fix it like it was yesterday
Memphis in my wake,
the miles stretch out ahead;
I hit the cruise control,
the pace has now been set
Pavement flows beneath me,
the longest race is on;
Endless hours in isolation
before this state is gone
Playing tag with truckers,
weaving in and out;
A quick pit stop at Stuckey’s,
to stretch before I shout
I watch the sun go down,
and all the cars light up;
There's music on the stereo,
my floorboard's filled with cups
The ashtray's overflowing
as I race across the state line;
My glee is so apparent,
Louisiana now is mine
A northbound river and a southbound train
for we're moving to a more clement clime
and swear we're never coming back again.
Sun’s low on horizon of the Great West Plain
you always said sunset was so sublime
on a northbound river by a southbound train.
Together we shared both pleasure and pain
which fused as one with the passing of time
and swore we'd never come back again.
But there's a sense of loss that's hard to explain
a sad song searching for a long lost rhyme
bout a northbound river on a southbound train.
With nothing to loose, everything to gain
we gave our all, down to the last dime
until we knew we had to go back again.
We gave our best and there was no crime
as young dreams faded to a sad refrain
for you knew we’d always come back again.
to this northbound river by a northbound train.
Southbound geese
wheel over parking lot
decorate car
glean in Cicero
large flock of geese
southbound
