Robert Long Mellott Poem
The pounding reins
Of yesterday’s tears
Lead me down
The dreary road of today
The joy I once found
Gazing into your eyes
Is hobbled by distance
And my faltering gait
Unbridled rides at dawn
A beautiful, insipid memory
Breakneck sprints in the dark
An aching need in the final stretch
The rhythmic rhyme
Of our ride in time
We won the race
But lost our place
Your crop too willing
My flanks too tender
Your mount is running,
Full out, yet you ask for more
(unfinished)

Robert Long Mellott Poem
Kangaroos look funny in horns and underoos
Nothing like the holidays down under…
So many sweets to taste and plunder…
Mistletoe hung over head…
Sweet dreams in our slumbering bed…
The jolly man shimmying down
The hot family hearths
Not making a sound making his rounds
Asbestos underwear protecting his parts
The sweaty old boy in red
Cursing the heat of points this far south
While blimey citizens are snug in bed
Explicatives flowing from his mouth
Merry Christmas to all those down under
And happy New Year a day bloody sooner
Having no snow is a god awful blunder
The whole island should be sat in a corner!

Robert Long Mellott Poem
The wood is piled
my emotions riled
Sweet expectations
settle in my soul
Sweat dappled brows
my emotions drowse
sudden conclusions
fill in the hole
of my heart.
The fire started in the pit
warming ourselves
in it's globe
and there we sit
like two lost elves
waiting to disrobe
Take your time,
Love
The perfect man
does exist.

Robert Long Mellott Poem
The amazing way we came to know
We each had some place else to go
where eternal sparks of passion’s fire
too hot to quench with earthly flesh
We understood our wants and needs
Taking eternity into account
never crossed our minds
when we evaluated our lives
We now step back and evaluate
our relationships
our accomplishments
and believe in our choices
We live a life our parents
could not even imagine
but the one thing they taught us
still holds true... the children are the most important thing.

Robert Long Mellott Poem
Full Moon Brimming
On A Hungry Wolf
Fire still burning
Words are not enough
Red Riding Hood,
You stopped me where i stood.
The basket you held, looked so good,
I enticed...And you fell...
In the woods... safe and sound
We could not believe what we had found
Me in denim... and you it lace
We understood, each other so very well
Full moon brimming over with light
Gazing into the eyes of the other
The twin to me, I did see, in You.
Be careful with my heart, my love.
My running shoes are unlaced for now,
So lean back and enjoy the ride.
Embrace all the laughter, our lives allow.

Robert Long Mellott Poem
A Chance Meeting
A mischievous smile
And daring eyes
We met in the prime
Of our intricate lives
A gentle, touching caress
Inflamed our needs and desires
A complex, intrepid dance
Our hearts devised
Both afraid to surrender our hearts
Tripping on our past endeavors
We dared to love without restraint
Only to be caught in our own constraints
And so, we parted that night
With a hollow promise of future delight
Both living our lives apart
As we have, lonely, from the start
Regretting nothing for taking a chance
Our lives & souls truly enhanced.

Robert Long Mellott Poem
Don't ever
Lose sight
Today is where
To believe in yourself
Up before our dawn
You perceive the gray
Not realizing for what I long
And You asked me not to stay
Our life, it seems, has come to an impasse
I choose to love you forever
Resetting our shiny compass
Wishing each other the best
To our own endeavors

Robert Long Mellott Poem
A doe and her mate
tempt the fates
wind driven snow
what a delight...
new white blossoms
on barren bushes
over large hats overhang
on hoary old buildings
highlighted branches
on majestic leafless trees
magical silence
in the quality of light
a blanket of white pulled
up to nature's chin
perchance to dream
a new tomorrow...
a new day

Robert Long Mellott Poem
Finally found the perfect prelude to this previous piece...
She never learns the lesson
Not to dance under the moon
With all the stars applauding
Her nakedness
Her thirst, her insane laughter
And getting drunk
On the flashes of lightning
At midnight
Nothing Back
A siren, you are my love,
You call men to their doom...
their destiny?
I blame you not...
for a mortal cannot rule the mythical.
I was almost held to your spell...
If I had not knotted myself to the mast.
You promise an' take everything,
But nothing in return do you offer.
The sweet songs you weave...
Call to me....
As if I were the only one.
To see people for who they are...
Is the only way i can live....
and give.
Goodbye, my Siren,..... goodbye?

Robert Long Mellott Poem
You are here
X
Me
Fine Line
You love me
now you hate me
what will our fate be?
A world so full of love, passion
Intellectual talks, soft kisses & touches
Feelings of total trust and complete security-
A sweet miracle.
A world of blame, sarcasm and yelling rushes in
Saying terrible things that can never be taken back
Feeling so alone & betrayed-
A true tragedy.
I believe in you-
I'm scared of you
I'm so proud of me
Then so disappointed.
