Premium MemberDelusion

"Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion" - Jim Rohn

You believe 
you're much taller than 
everyone else 
when you're standing next to me 
on your tippy toes.

It's no secret you weave 
a glittering tapestry of lies 
every so often,
yet you anoint yourself 
as the arbiter of truth.

You still believe 
that your reputation 
is unimpeachable, despite 
your litany of improprieties;
come back to reality!

The Acquiesce Irony

Reluctantly I acquiesce 
This is much to my dismay
Daunting, appears the task
Overwhelming thoughts consume my days

Disillusioned by the emotional discourse 
Troubled by the arrogant improprieties
Living in a world of ignorance
Full of contemptuous indignities

Disheartened - I confess moving forward
Perturbed by societies disinterest of clarity 
I still have hope for my family’s future
Hence, the acquiesce irony

Premium MemberA Right Heart,

A Right Heart,
By:Tom Wright
2000

A right heart
will not be found,
laboring on seeming indiscretions of others;
But rather, 
on those improprieties
found lurking closer at hand.

Discretionary Indiscretions
Written: by Tom Wright
11/25/00

Pray tell
how can this be;
That one
might opt to blunder,
Electing folly and improprieties,
Ultimately
casting soul asunder.
No matter
is the heart's intent,
The inevitable results,
are one and same.
If time in unrepented sin is spent,
twill be found rowed
neatly neath each name.

Premium MemberBeyond the Breakers

Beyond the rugged linoleum sheen
of stamped moribund improprieties
where life is nothing but a deep-sixed scene
lost in the postmarked cliffs of postcard seas;

Beyond the frozen wake of guilty flight
taken by seagulls, judged by magistrates,
whose dispassionate paths, once brought to light,
shimmered as dull incomplete figure-eights;

Far from horizons of tidal-wave's shore,
seen beneath midnight’s refusal to glow,
alone, for one,  I pace forevermore,
as my insanity plays quite a show:

Visions return me where all’s well and fine -
Beyond the breakers, where, for me, the stars still shine.

Vigil

As moonbeams settle softly on her face, 
lay bare the gaunt and haggard visage there, 
a woman whose whole life was spent in care 
for those who ran and won another race. 
Those stippled hands, the measure of her grace, 
her shriveled arms, now wasting in despair, 
her saddened eyes so sorrowful and spare, 
a broken soul who cannot keep apace. 

Wilting now, her slender body gone, 
wishing there were something left to say, 
countenance once sparkling, now wan, 
as she prepares to make that final trip 
to glory, to the everlasting day 
when words no longer whisper from her lips. 

Those who stand in grief can only wait 
and ponder just what might have been, 
but death is drawing nigh, it's much too late, 
her appearance now so sallow and so lean. 
Thoughts turn to their own brief mortalities, 
as they reflect on how they will atone, 
and justify their improprieties. 

We cannot cheat the Reaper, 
and live a life of immortality, 
His grip is irresistible, and none 
can bypass destiny, its fickle charms, 
so may she sleep in peace, in purity, 
and rest forever in His loving arms.

I Was Hip; But I Doubt I Understood

A lot of people I use to know are gone now; and Roe;
Her brother went three days later; and it rocked me hard;
He was only three years older than I am.
So I suppose it follows that I wish I still knew you.
    Too many improprieties and apparently I’ve gotten stupid;
    Trying to make things happen; as if maybe I had an inside track.
    I tried not to let it go like that; but that’s where it went.
    I thought I knew what I was doing; but I guess not.
I use to dance hard, run fast and now;
There’s no one left that I use to know                           
I couldn’t quit; too hip; and armed with Teflon;
Life left me wanting; in a place with so little in which to sustain

...inspired by 'Inside And Outside' by Allen Tate


As moonbeams settle softly on her face,
lay bare the gaunt and haggard visage there,
a woman whose whole life was spent in care
for those who ran and won another race.
Those stippled hands, the measure of her grace,
her shriveled arms, now wasting in despair,
her saddened eyes so sorrowful and spare,
a broken soul who could not keep apace.

Wilting now, her lissom body gone,
wishing there were something left to say,
countenance once sparkling, now wan,
as she prepares to make that final trip
to glory, to the everlasting day
when pain no longer whispers from her lips.

Those who stand in grief can only wait
and ponder just what might have been,
but death is drawing nigh, it's much too late,
her appearance now so sallow and so lean.
Thoughts turn to their own brief mortalities,
as they reflect on how they will atone,
and justify their improprieties.

We cannot cheat the Reaper, foil his plan,
and live a life of immortality,
His grip is irresistible, and none 
can bypass destiny, its fickle charms,
so may she sleep in peace, in purity,
and rest forever in His loving arms.

He's Looking

At first he is struck by her beauty and grace;
But then he is puzzled by the look on her face.
The look that she has says just go away;
Don't bother me now it's not a good day.
  As the look that he sees slowly slips by;
  He thinks he can see her in his minds eye.
  She seems held down by rules that boggle her brain;
  Trapped in a web known as anger and pain.
A beautiful creature locked in a cage;
She stands alone up on a stage.
She touches his heart he wants to reach out;
But too many improprieties hang all about.
  For him to befriend her is a hopeless desire;
  So he stands to watch as she sinks in the mire.
  He knows he can see her but he acts like he don't;
  He wishes he knew her but he knows that he wont.
He's helpless to help her no way to reach out;
Save one simple offer he wished he could shout.
Who ever you are what ever is true;
There is one who noticed, he's looking at you.
