PROMISING YOUNG MAN 

  

Hear the travails of a single mother 

Traded her heaven for love 

But hopes and dreams short-lived and ran 

Now she cries aloud to every woman 

Be ware of a promising young man 

  

He promised to move me...

Premium Member A Young Man To An Older Woman
Dear, you keep telling me that you’re too old,
giving me reasons we should be apart.
But all these things I’ve already been told!
Please, darling, hear me now with your heart.
You say they’ll gossip about me and you.
Just let them! I’m young, but I’ve known
so many women,...

The Marvelous Young Man
Strange fits of passion have I known
And I will dare to tell
But in my lover’s ear alone is
Where my secrets dwell

A young man, stout of heart, and strong of limb
A strong hold on his affections 
The pleasure which there is in life itself
Yet, uncertainty in...

A Young Man Lost
	Written: by Tom Wright
	9/13/99
	
	Between Birth & Death,
	Lay his undetermined amount of time.
	He assumed that he had plenty,
	But in reality, he had little.
	While he was considered young
	He lived not to be old.
	As he attempted to make fools of others
	He became a fool himself.
	Because,...

A Young Man On a Cliff
Long ago, a young man was sitting on top of a cliff 
Staring at the ocean in a sunny California town 
He sees hanging low, an early spring sun on the horizon
Suddenly from the sky, a falling feather appears at his side

The young man gets...

There once was a young man named James
Who was good at most boring board games
Excepting for "Clue"
Because he didn't know who
Dunnit because he forgot the names...

Young Man, That Is Not Good Enough
Young man, that is not good enough, just not good enough;
Seek the Lord; fulfill purpose, don’t just huff and puff.
You looking all big and bad; but, inside you are very sad;
Jesus’ joy will make you strong and extremely glad.
No more, no more playing: dan-man, bad...

Beyond the Realm of Wishes
In sun-scorched dunes 
beside a weathered sentinel 
a glint ensnared his weary gaze.
A tarnished lamp / 
grazed / its secrets unknown / 
a genie unbound.... 
a muted haze.

Three worldly desires danced like tempting fruit, ambition's flame, 
    ...
