Long Rockman Poems

I walk the roads of countryside
To get back home at night
I keep my feet on well worn path
The full moon is my light

I move along with hurried pace
My heart beats like a drum
A fear inside...

I was stuck in traffic
Just the other day
When a certain feeling hit me
In a most horrific way

I felt a pressure building
It's happened more than once
But the fact I didn't learn
Made me feel just like a...

She asked him, "Why are you drinking
Before it's 9 am"?
He told her not to worry
She said, "Damn! You're drunk again".

She said that she was tired
Of him sleeping on the couch
She told him forty seven ways
He...

Drifting off into a black space
To a land not far away
I see visions of another world
Where only kings and queens can play

There are jesters in the courtyard
There are dragons all around
I can feel my astral...

The rise of the moon charges the air and calls out to the undead. My eyes open to 
see only darkness in my resting place.

I stir slowly as the desire of hunger courses through my...

My journey is long
My path is so wide
I've met many souls
In which to confide

I've seen many scenes
I've done lots of stuff
I've walked varied roads
Both easy and tough

I've soaked in the sun
I've cried in the rain
I've...

His name is Richard and he walks the land
Plastic bags and umbrella in hand
I've passed him by a thousand times
He'd always wave with hand held high

Long haired curls of peppered gray
A bearded face and aging...

I stood upon the wooden deck
As the boat made way to sea
I saw the sky was turning black
Trepedation had a grip on me

But we had to carry onward
Cause that's how we make our way
Fishing on...

Two score and a decade have past
It's time to be reflective
To take account of all I've done
And put it in perspective

All my wild oats are sown
The grain is in the bin
Sometimes I wish I had...

I heard an angel speak last night and he said, "Write".

I sat in darkened silence, pondering the words.
As dawn shed light on me, I knew just what to say.
I was taken back in time to...

I lay here lost inside my mind
Trapped within my shell
Hearing all the world around
Can't talk or even yell

My wife tells me she loves me
She strokes me with her hand
I feel her tears roll down my...

I was born a pauper
In the early Roman days
When Ceasar was the ruler
Of the soldiers and the slaves

We lived within the outskirts
Of the city life domain
Feeding from the lamb
And the produce of our grain

I grew...

Don't wake me as you're passing
'Cause you'll interrupt my scheme
I may look like I'm sleeping
But I'm living out a dream

I chose this place to linger
It's my favorite resting spot
It lies between the bakery
And the mission...

I dip my fingers in her honey
Then I take a whiff
I savor the aroma
That is coming from her hips

Her moans are like an angels song
They flutter in my ears
We revel in the pleasure
And we wipe...

When blue sky has drawn its veil
That's when passions will prevail
Within the dark of nights closed eyes
Entangled lovers sweat and writhe

A fervent lust. A human need.
A chance to plant the given seed
It starts with just...

I stood upon a cloud of joy
A breeze blew through my hair
I felt the gift of total bliss
And didn't have a care

Something deep within my soul
Had found an open door
I entered in the room of...

Father sits in easy chair
Remembering the day
His little girl lay in that bed
Until she passed away

It's been a year and six months
Since he stood there by her side
Hand in hand he felt her life
Wane and...

I sure am missin' fishin'
Sittin' by a stream
A cooler full of colas
Livin' out a dream

The gentle, lazing waters
Slowly driftin' by
I watch my bobber floatin'
And I can only sigh

I reel it in and cast again
Against the...

There are two sides
In the poetry we write
One from the dark
And one from the light

The dark writes of pain
Mourning and loss
A love gone awry
With emotional cost

The light writes of joy
And days in the sun
Butterflies flitting
Or...

I'm a talent trapped by poverty and despair
I'm a voice that's lost in the misty air
I'm a rainbow hidden by clouds of gray
I'm the ear that's cupped to hear what you say

I'm the voice of...

A tempest rages deep within
A storm brews in my soul
Outside conflict seeping in
And stirring in my bowl

So many things that I expect
And never seem to gain
I try to stand back and reflect
But I'm clouded by...

The veteran stands with hand to head
As flag goes passing by
He does his best to hold his ground
While trying not to cry

He thinks about the time he spent
Defending foreign soil
Fighting for the right to life
For...

All dolled up in Easter dress
Watching through the window glass

At children searching all around
For colored eggs upon the ground

Her spirits high as clouds in sky
Her smile bright with vivid eyes

She lived each moment for the...

The moon is shining bright above
There's voices on the breeze
I close my eyes and listen close
To hear the talking trees

Rustling leaves chant mystic words
As crickets sonnet sing
Treefrogs peep the warning of
What tropic winds will bring

I sit in the sand
With my knees in my hands
Just staring out at the sea
Contemplating
The meaning of life
And maybe the meaning of me

For all that I've done
And all that I've won
Is that the meaning of...
