Best Youre Poems

Grow Where You’re Planted
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

Leaves displaying the colors,
Of a painter’s palette,
Came gyrating, 
Aimlessly toward the ground;

While raking, I mused,
If I lived in the desert,
 There’d be no leaves beneath my feet.

Then upon intellection,
Nor trees to provide me shade,
From the desert’s scorching heat;

You’re Laughing Alone
By
Tom Wright

My friends all told me that I was witty,
So from Haskell I headed for the city.
First, a comedy club floor,
Then out the back door,
For my monologue I received only pity.

I enjoyed our moments together, everything about really did matter. You’re not the 1.
The nice walks I had with you was so much fun, even the warm hugs you gave to me when there was no sun. You’re not the 1.
You were always here and...

At first you’re here, now you’re not here.
You’re on a time schedule, I see you every so and so.
Its the same reoccurring, non-assuring facade of
emotion; logic’s evil twin wrapped in sugar whispering sweet
nothings.
All the while stirring up episodic dreams:
When it is good, time is ignored.
When...

Well and you are one of a kind
There’s no one in the world like you
I know 'cuz you lift me up so high
When I’m down so low...
That's why you’re My Hero and I
Know I ain't got nothing to fear
When you are around 'cuz
Not even the...

I have filled my mind with things unreal
and my heart with affections unsafe.
I can’t help but smile when I see your face.
You’re killing me with each and every embrace....

I Want To Be Youre Girl

Forget all the talking
Look at me and listen to me
Let them talk all they want
I want to be your girl all in all
I understand it all
Let me in, I’m not pushing hard
I just want us, to fall in love
I just...

How strange it is to be anything at all
We all hope to grow up,
Big and Tall
But as the bird spreads his  wings
And learns to fly
His soul sometimes dies a little inside.
He is growing up and he is scared
He is full, of the fear
But not...

You’re Secret is Safe
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

None know the secrets of our Grandfather clock
It stands mostly quiet, in its niche,
In our great room;

As if camouflaged, it observes all goings on, 
While eavesdropping on every conversation;

It never betrays any secrets, and most times,
Won’t give you...

yall did it for the gram,
and hid it from the fam
jilted on the glam
i filtered out the jam
i see you in a  scam
not even with a plan
blowing all your yams
to quicken drowning in a can
sticking in the pan
the plot thicken in a span
i was...

Well and You're Crazy if you
think I'm gonna let you bring me
down again, if you think you
can just come back into my life
after being gone so long and
expect me to take you back 
just like that...You're Crazy
if you think I'm still in love with
you after...

I was always told to claim what you are 
And I was always told to not settle for par. 
For better or for worse, self is to soul married 
Prose or perfect verse, words and actions will be carried. 
To follow you, the heart, the...

March 2nd is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss so,
having grown up with his wonderful works, I've written a little tribute:

Happy Birthday Theodore Geisel,
here’s a meditation mat, made of sisal;
I bought it in Mexico for your last birthday
but, you’re number was...

Hey Dude,
You’re A Human Lightening Rod 
By: Tom Wright
2005

You’ve Studs in your eyebrows, a spike in your hair
Your tongue is pierced causing me to stare.
You resemble a lampshade but give me no fear
At the first sound of thunder, I’m out of here.

The pains I feel in my heart
The pains I feel in my bone marrows
strikes me everyday

I spent a lot of time,
energy
money and passion on you
But all you paid me with was regrets, hate and evil

I invested a lot in you
I gave you all I could
You...
