Long Camacho Poems

Cry me a river  cry me a river

The change has arrived

Where are all the heroes

Heroes like jolting Joe D

Hit the ball to outer space

Running from first to Homeplate

Kids cheering kids jumping

Popcorn all over the...

The abyss so deep so profound
It didn't thwart our efforts
It made us strong of mind
Gave us a sense of unity
To see thru the light
At the end of this
endless Tunnel
this is today,but yesterday's
Gone by recalling a...

Touching to sea essence with their noses
Old men  by the seashore
Sails up flags waving goodbye
Gulls laughing
Don Coto's Face brown and wrinkled
Smiles from ear to ear
Prepares for the voyage to gather bounty
From the land the...

The skies the sun free birds
High  above
Below the mud the blood
One life to go
No warmth
River is running cold
Penetrating to the bone
Curdling screams
Chilling notes
Blood sweat fear
Side stepping thoughts 
Down with these mean streets
Pulsating Conga beats
Run...

We
We're
Born to live 
Born to die
But not like this
So unexpectedly so
We were young
We were old
We were full 
Of life
We were in 
Love in love 
With all
They stole our 
Hearts
But not our souls
Nor our spirits
We will...

Pry me essence
Of honey dew melon
Fat back gimme
Mo collard greens
Gimme essence from 
Flavas undone
Marmalade too
Of long ivory tusks
That elephants do
From the flight 
Of the whip poor will 
Till
The next rains flood 
Those plains
Talking bout old...

Yo listen up babe 

Had an ache in my head

So I swallowed a Bayer

Had a slight fever

So I took a chill pill

Had my eyes set on you

And your façade

So I call on sir Cupid 

To...

Peering through portals of time
On gossamer wings
Just past 89
Cherished  moments
Crystal bottles
Blue Haze
Memories never fade
Seems like only yesterday
Small tyke I was
Could run like the wind
Running so fast so free
Barely touching the ground 
I was on
Feeling...

Entwined
The color
Of mankind
Echoed in 
Our minds
The Realities
Of life
Forevermore
The ethnic
Flow of
Our blood
Pulsating
Giving us life
Giving us hope

We were 
Color blind
Or 
Perhaps
The world
Didn't understand
The differnt
Shades of 
Pastels

We were free
Of that kind of 
Bondage
That brought 
Many of us
To our...
