Rework
On many endeavors which I’ve undertaken,
a significant amount of my time was spent.
Explaining things to avoid being mistaken,
later to hear “But Tom, I thought you meant”.
Time spent reworking isn’t time well spent,
so I endeavor to cover all bases before starting.
Misunderstandings, I always try to prevent,
and before starting, completing comparting.
So I’m forced to instruct

The Silent Kiss
Moonlight on a still pool of darkness,
deep with my joy.
I offer you the silent kiss
emerging from my chlorine, longing dreams
Nights of solemn swims steeped in
Gratefulness .
You rippled in waves like the Pool of Bethesda,

Things that Make you say, Hmmm
There are instances in nature that imitate the nature of some humans.
Tis sad but true that...
a mockingbird makes fun of another bird who sings more beautifully
a thorn pricks until it draws blood, but it never injures the rose
a moth thinks it has beautiful wings, until a butterfly emerges
a crow takes pleasure in taunting others until

Where Do the Broken Swans Go?
Where do the broken swans go, when lakes forget their name?
Do stars still sing for feathers torn, or whisper them in shame?
The moon once kissed their wings with light, now hides behind the veil,
As silence grows in sacred throats, too soft, too bruised to wail.
O mortal hearts, ye chase the gold, and mock the voice

Fine
I say that I'm fine,
but really I'm not.
It doesn't seem to matter
so I don't say a lot.
There's no one I can talk to,
at least no one that cares;
and the one's that seem to
are just putting on airs.
So I just deal with it
the only way I know how.
So at least for the moment,
things are fine for

EMPLOYERS
Employers why do you
Believe that your business/company
Take priority over
My personal life
When you'll fire me
Without a moment's notice
I work from nine to five
Not after hours
Or while I'm on vacation
I'm not being paid
To answer your e-mails
Or your phone calls
When I'm off the clock
Cross train employees
Hire enough workers and
Do your own assignments
I hope you get the MEMO!
That's why

This year and time
Will go down as
The worse time
In history, and it
Will never be forgotten
Not ever!

Reality or Falsehood
is it real?
am i real?
are you real?
is anything around us real?
everything is perceived as fake.
i know it’s there.
i know it exists.
but for some odd reason,
it all feels hoaxed,
surreal,
dull,
empty,
ambiguous.
but why?
if i know people exist, objects are real, and my feelings are real,
so why does everything feel misplaced?
lost, even.
i discern as if i am fraud.
it’s a

Two Pink Lines
Do you remember how excited you would get when you were about to test? Do you remember thinking that maybe if you didn’t look at it till the timer rang, it might be positive.
Thinking two pink lines meant happiness. Negative after negative, one after the other, month after month. But pain and disappointment still

What Is The Word?
What Is The Word?
This is our lives: moment to moment; thought to thought, image to image; we build reality from our dreams.
The truth eludes us;
Nothing defines the moment
We are here, then not.

I AM GREEN
I love the colour of my skin,
Au naturel suave evergreen.
From head to toe, and deep within,
Each part of me, feels so serene.
Even the bristles, on my chin,
Tonsured daily, smooth shaven clean.
