Muffins, Doritos and Cheetos, Oh My! (A Bulimic’s Tale)

There is a hole in her core she must sate.
So, she drives to the grocery store before it’s too late.

She steers the cart in search of junk food.
She spots a case of cupcakes that can ease her...

“The Lewis Trap”



Well, of course he's misanthropic
He’s a Misanthropic Man
The Devil’s in the details
Buried deep under the covers
Of bedtime stories, slithers ‘neath loose sand

A Liddell bit of cake
A Liddell bit of julip
Sweets for a sweet pretty thing
Brings her closer, his lovely little Alice
This trapped butterfly...

Special relationships are developed and strengthened over the years;
And those relationships reveal an obligation to fulfil when wisdom begins to knock during the tweens;
Oh what a shame, a shock, an ocean of tears brews like fresh coffee;
The aroma of unpleasant emotions desires to embrace the...

I’d like to gift you this diamond ring
Shining on top of the low karat gold
For, my dear, while Valentine’s coming
Your fine finger will look really untold    

People glance would think authentic 
Briefly, appraises for a pricey jewelry 
Consider some adornments synthetic ...

Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
Travelling by stealth, incognito, alone by wise choice
Hazy memories of his homeland and boyhood street
Friendless these lean years, no recognition to rejoice

Mercenary factions control his vagabond life
Icelandic fjords, volcanic rocks, desert dunes attend
Flash bye and fade,  fragmented...

Moments

I sit in the stifling heat of the car,
Taxi’s block the entrance like a boom bar,
Walkway broken, crowded with hopes.
An old white van stutters up ahead,
At back stark white coffin with gilt handles:
Family sit, heads scarved and drooped,
Red flag of death flickers, a torn bit...

Choose Wisely

Man
Living
Eternal,
Resurrected
Because Christ arose
And God forgives sinners
When they ask for forgiveness,
Has a consequence in the end.
Judgment, which appraises all choices,
Determines a soul’s success…forever.

Guard your heart 

from those, 

who love you 

only for their benefit.

Those who 

value your time

only for convenience.

 

Walk away 

from those

who steal your 

precious peace. 

That of the mind 

appraises above all.

 

Never settle for less 

than your due,

that will diminish 

your view 

of...

Guess which word irritates me in this poem?

If you do not figure it out, you can read my notes.

Who has the most clout? A carwife or a housewife?
Do we have to factor in the dollar amount paid for the car 
and the house?

Would the two...

Blind from birth
A derelict tainting the earth
Lame, deaf, or broken
A weight upon Caesar's token
...draining provision

Voices, choices
Addiction, conviction
Taxes for the battle axes
Removing the Approving
...for lesser

Those who assign value
Based on accepted image
Will evaluate humanity
Based on lineage

LOVE appraises life
Precious and true
No matter what seems to lack
His presence is...

Our Words Are a Testament
Of Who We Are
Written: by Tom Wright
7/2/2018

The words we voice tell others who we are,
Dishing hurt for hurt just isn’t God’s way.
But man Oft desires the parting au revoir,
Then upon reflection, morals make him pay.

Each uttered word God instantly appraises,
But previously...
