On The Road Poems - Poems about On The Road

On The Road Again

Two of us on a sixties hippie trip
to see if our gears would slip or mesh
innocent but wary yet wide-eyed
to the Imperial city of Marrakech
she perfumed with patchouli
me I traveled totally tie-dyed
all around was peace and love
we teamed to a tee and seemed
a fit the perfect hand in glove
but not long later it was deemed
as

Get this show on the road

Let’s get this show on the road,
The car's still empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.

I want to get to the airport, I want to be
clambering into an Impressionist painting of the sea
Ride the chestnut ponies, get back to something real,
My

ECHOES ON THE ROAD

[Verse 1]
I’ve been runnin’ hard, chasin’ them lights
Raisin’ a glass in some neon night
Signed on the line, paid with my soul
The louder they cheered, the more I let go

[Verse 2]
The crowd got loud, the lights burned bright
But backstage felt colder than a winter night
I wore that smile, I played that part
While love slipped away, tearin’

He is not someone you bump into on the road and fail to notice

He is not someone you bump into on the road and fail to notice,
he is the one whose presence you feel in the empty corridors he traversed,
he doesn't wear the falsehood of a feigned smile on his lips,
but sews his bleeding truths onto the contours of his soul.
He won't accuse you of gazing too long

On the Road

The sun scorches along the interstate
branding Arizona with smoldering,
rubber Nazca lines.
In the steak house, ersatz, Western artifacts,
She says she is Navajo
but she looks like Britney Spears.
She brings some bland reproduction food.
I think of Navajo blankets,
how a hand-woven history
has kept their stories new.
She tells me she is working her way through
- she did not say what.
I

Life On The Road

Keep walking
Even though
Nothing is certain. 

The road is long 
Seeing is measuring 
Start walking to shorten. 

This zigzag road is scary
Hold on to the wheel tightly
Eyes focus on the curve signs. 

There is a very thin line
On the road to safety and danger
You better choose the right one.

On The Road To Baguio

The highland's mouth in morning light,
Its winding path climbs high above,
Through pine trees crowned in misty white,
We're on the road to Baguio

The pressure in my ears I feel,
As fog embraces mountain's view,
Past strawberry fields, the air surreal,
We're on the road to Baguio

Swift soaring birds, their songs so clear!
They echo through the valley's plains,
The vast blue

Death on the road

We piled into the car
Caleb and Mom in front, me in the back
We weren't planning to go far
A nearby arboretum off the beaten track.

We went north, there were many cars each way
Saw a motorcycle downed, someone’s luck had failed
Amidst the empty southbound lane, there it lay
A journey interrupted, a life derailed

There was a police car,

On the road to truth, the journey begins with timid steps

On the road to truth, the journey begins with timid steps,
A pilgrimage to the edge of solitude, where silence sings,
The examined life stretches like an endless road under the vast sky,
A long journey among the shadows of fading thoughts.
In the quest for truth, I gaze into the mirror of time,
Where reflections dance like specters on

On the road

I'm on the road to success
And lately, I've been stuck in traffic
Long lines that never seem to move
It's been ages and I've barely moved 

For it has been one turn after the other
And the turn that I'm on
Is so long that it has me slowing down
So slow that it feels like I'm coming to a

ON THE ROAD HOME

As I walk along this dark road
It's raining out and I'm cold
I don't know where this road is going to take me
There are no certain guarantees
Even with my depression
I still hope I have a chance to get to Heaven
For most of my life I try to follow God's rules
I know there are many people
That I

I'M ON THE ROAD TO Damascus

On a call heard from the Father
On my way, I am on my way
Settle for nothing
 Always above things
That bring us down
No longer lost, but found
And I’m walkN
Just short of runiN
And I’m dreamN
GetN instruction, from my Father within and above
He indwells me with agape love
walkN
RuniN
Toward the streets
I am on the road to Damascus

Was struck by

rooster on the road

I could never run like this when I was a chick
So saying, the rooster ran down the highway quick
You are wearing sneakers! An old timer said, so great!
Alas, a semi came over the hill fast, sealing the rooster’s fate.

vacation on the road

winding unknown roads 
daylight turns into darkness 
hole in wall breakfast

On the Road

Now as you turn the next page
It don't get better with age 
Or so it's been told
But you still hope to find 
All the dreams left behind
On the road

One thing that life has taught you
All those things that you ought to
Can't be bought or sold
And though you keep on trying
All your dreams lay there dying
