On The Road Poems - Poems about On The Road

It looks to me like the iconic photo was shot on a Sunday Behind an abbey that was soundless with loud prayers The traffic was more human than mechanical On the broad, asphalted spine of a skinned, dead zebra Where four men created a useful, eye-catching scene With their stern military march of youthful legs, Coming together, yet drifting solemnly apart, Each...

She kept walking—until emotions burst. Weeping, she cried out in a public space, Where no one cared enough to stop or see The woman breaking at the corner of the road. In her sobs, a memory returned: A voice, a message— New beginnings, And a man who stood like a torch of light In the dim glow of night. But greed mocked her, And laughter...

Consider the man in the street if you will what's he doing there standing stock-still maybe like the chicken he's crossing the road and half-way over with nothing better to do only slowed to admire the view perhaps he's pushing his luck for remaining stationary no doubt about it he'll be hit by a van car lorry or truck let's hope it's not...

I traveled through the endless fields of secret dreams, where the horizon whispers secrets, I wanted to discover what the world hides beneath its veil of...

They dressed me up in tinsel and lametta I recall stood me in a corner not as a wallflower I was the belle of the ball but now my needles shedding the moment I've been dreading limp lonely forgotten neglected not long before I'm ejected and two weeks later here am I a sad and sorry sight to behold enough to make one cry discarded by the...

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...

The road drones as I run away, one eye ahead, one on the rearview. I squint and strain, blue-white beams on my tail. Twin beams, staring, keeping distant pace. You say, "It's been five years and we barely know each other." My pointed tongue and its egalitarian wit shot back, "Well, that's half my fault and half yours, dear." "Half yours" second...

Black top was miles and miles away Dirt road as far as you could see The future just a minute away Was everything you wanted it to be Taking our time but not slowing down Heads in the clouds, bare feet on the ground Up with the sun, chasing the moon around Dirt road living with a real country sound The black top...

Drop a plumb line from crown to root This corresponds to the central vein Staff of power, the rod of initiation For pure childlike hearts free from stain Divine magnetism prefers this route It is the direct expressway to heaven The path appears when we walk upon it Bypassing the body chakras seven...

Rock bottom is a dark lonely place One people will pray to never see It's overflowing with the lowest lows Reminding you of a life full of misery The select few who are exiled there Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness This road is where desperation is...
