Sonnet 28 'I Think I Know the Name of Purity'
I think I know the Name of Purity,
It is Your Name -- it holds clear water well!
A Chalice carved almost to shattering,
A white rose, that alone, grows in the dell
With drops of ice adorning its still face
The warmth of heart that comes with falling snow
The...

"Such beauty"
"Such grace"
"Such wonder"
"Such waste"

That is what they said to me
As she climbed the forbidden tree

Some said she'd make it
Some said she'd fall
Some tongues stood still
As she climbed through it all

When she reached the top at last
She found the magic had just past

She climbed down
Without...

Sonnet 28
If only I did not believe in love
My breath would kiss tomorrows lips with ease
But I have been heart-broken by your love
And only death can cure my hearts disease

Your smile seduced my soul to sleep with sin
Your eyes eclipsed with evenings I embraced
Your laughter lured...

Premium Member The Works of God -John 6: 28,29
It's such an old age question
a question asked by every generation
there's wonder in the asking voice
that's filled with mindful fascination

In this gospel of John, it's recorded here
the disciples ask Jesus what they want to know
what was it they had to do? a real work?
Jesus knew...

Premium Member Be Killing Sin Or Sin Will Be Killing You - Proverbs 25: 28
Please let me speak about the heart
indeed the heart of all our aches
where our problems are to be found
so important to know for our sakes

God clearly wants us to know self-control
with His wisdom to exercise His will
for without self-control, one's left broken
helpless and hopeless just...

God gave Moses instructions never forgotten

words that would change Moses life
now His name would never be hid

God announced His own covenant
made with Isreal a people He chose
and with Moses His leader to be
who would be God's weapon over His...

Watching myself from behind
Chasing words on the front
Dieing on the the rear
But my life is going along
Shots of death inside
Life escaped outside

I wonder where we would have 
been
If we chose our paths w/out a 
bend
Boring life the straightest road
Midnight holds the great 
unknown...

Written: by Tom Wright

Without joy I faced a mountainous rise,
A pale rider had entry into my day.
Sitting astride, the specter of my demise,
No longer, my concerns, could I allay.

But from uplifted prayer, an answer,
Descended not as an eminent surprise;
I was jolted by news...

I don’t know how to swim,
but I can swim well
Ask me to teach you how to solve
a problem, and I am stumped
but tell me to move a mountain
and I will push it out of your way
I can do so much more
than I can explain
I feel...

28 Cracks In The Ceiling


I take my red-inked dagger in hand
And succinctly spew its secrets for all to see.
28 cracks in the ceiling, and I lost count.
There’s a storm moving out of the west.
I can smell the thunder and
The titillating turbulence of tintinnabulation.
An old lady...
