Long Agitates Poems

“50 Words for Poe: Azrael”



What alchemy to lure Azrael
who hidden until now
keeps his vigil 
in the still sound of 
the shattering silence 
of falling leaves
under the elms in the 
hollows of 
Hanging Hill 
with the...

“For how many lifetimes
have you done hard and painful labor 
with body, mind and speech?
It is time to stop”


Ah! This entreaty
It has this ring of compassionate divinity
Emanating from a true seer moved by our plight
Enmeshed...

Clean clear powerful activity, unleashed wings upstairs
Protective instinct bonded to stability
Monitor on, guarding, titrating all sensory and physical input
Past seeking, obsessing on relief in dark lost forced absenting this plane
Past pushing and stretching...

Ticks imperceptibly further from tocks
Sally-anne gracefully brushing her locks
Perusing the papers in yesterday's socks
One eye on the news on the old goggle box

Lawns that want mowing, maybe today
No firm decision on that, either way
The daffies...

Written: By Tom Wright

People, some jumping to their death as if to fly,
helpless to escape, a cherry red inferno, in the sky.
Black billowing smoke, now hangs horizontal as a flag,

Anger so deep it penetrates, agitates and aggravates
Feeling so helpless, clueless and ruthless
Knowing my physical pain and the flaw in my brain is like a derailing train
Wondering why no one cares and no one is...

Sometimes, in uncertain outcomes, as life agitates,
It can sway either way, maneuvering on the edge,
For a difference rather modest, makes the final call,
When a narrow margin determines a win or a loss.

If a win we...

A Feeling So Fresh...

Ahh...! The streak of pain,
The rough floor
And the red stain.

How can I forget that agony?
They were five
And I was only.

They dragged me like a rucksack,
A feeling so fresh...
Not at all a Flashback...

The...

Thy voice sounds like violin from distance
Melody of the holy angels
Thy beauty bouncing along the conductor
The airwaves beautified by the rhythm
A glut of neurons awakened by a giggle
How thy voice closes distance by wire?
My receiver...

Earth life a jigsaw puzzle, soul navigates
Floundering about in vain
Fickle and fleeting is joy, so heart agitates
Measuring loss and gain

We see all around, perfect divine order
Planets orbiting the sun
Save man, no living creature a hoarder

She is about ninety to a hundred pounds
About four feet tall
Short hair
Normally walks fast

She 
Has that face
Her face is like a combination of anger, confusion and deep thoughts 
She never smiles
Always serious
Am always afraid to...

resounding inner tremors and oscillation
reverberating incursion agitates my soul
stirring an ethereal timelessness of mystery
that transcends the enigma of life and death
and embodying mystique throughout the ages 
bellows echoing within ancient monastery...

I arrive at the churning river,
with one option.
I stare at the jagged rocks below.
White water agitates across the gorge.
And yet I cross.

Forward or to retreat I must.
Uncertain I am
 of the future, distant bank,
my knowledge...

In front of a massive silvery gate.

But she shakes her head which denotes my fate.

Conjuring formulae to attain God
Reflected consciousness narrow thought prods
Accustomed to trials and tribulations
Unable to rest in meditation 

What is immediate and intimate
Known not to ego, which oft agitates
Presupposing separateness from source
Assuming enablements gained by force

Employing...

Reflecting back I see beyond yesterday,
Light glistening brings a new view,
The water's rays rippling about,
I set my bait my soul,
The fish it agitates.

A guilty pleasure, wasting time,
Tomorrow's trouble I catch,
Yesterday's worries swimming under,
My rod and...
