twilight phase the injury abruptly strangles 
thought my ears are always ringing with this...

You make me love you to death, in the depths where light refracts,
In the labyrinths of the night, you are the whirlpool that tightens its grasp.
No mercy you have, oh cruel fate, you shorten the...

The Whaling City

Like many working cities, from time long past,  
This place too, captured a man’s hearts and mind,  
And so, they came, tired, drawn, weary, seekers,
Castaways and drifters seeking redemption the sea....

A young Shepardflees fascist Italy,
in a boat crossing a tereachorous sea.
His rudimentary education,
ending sheep in Abruzzi, Italy.
His venture, to seek a life of freedom,
on the cold gold ground of La'mere-rr-ika.

He walked out of the pasture...

For days we were assaulted
By vicious sleet and snow
It brought life to a standstill
Many were in survival mode

Since such fury we had known
Just more reason to be complacent
And show how...

Open My Eyes 

Lord, give me vision, let me see.
Open my eyes help me to achieve.
Like an Eagle that’s in flight.
Give me true vision and sight.

Help me not to doubt but believe.
Whenever the safe nest,...

We need to dance on Mountain tops
Flying, soaring, way way up high into the sky
We need to grasp at every single rainbow
And laughing slide down them for the ride
Not to live in unhappiness, doubt and...

This country began, with the melody of an orange rhythm,
Then lady liberty showed her beacon light
Giving in the twilight,
A hope for a new, beginning.

A less understanding place,
By God’s grace; we accepted...

Feasting on mirth why I'd collected 
enough balance catering to the no

soon so abruptly beneath a quiet calm
 
I'd bestowed hastily meeting my mind

My head hit the pillow and I was asleep,
I fell into a dream that was so deep,
standing on the deck of a fighting ship,
the vessel did rise, then into gulley did tip.

The waves so cruel...

Passionate moments filled
with zeal and zest as i gathered 
thoughout babbling brooks tainted

Leave Christ In Christmas
By: Tom Wright
12-16-2005

A twinkling light of stardust shown
As our hope within the ebon night,
Pointing to a mangers precious stone
This star was much like a beacon light.

Wise men traveled both night and day
But...

Sentinel Quatrain Form - Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Eve Roper

Crashing quivers of ripples beyond the beacon light,
a watchtower flooding with a million waves,
water blown about like shadows in the night,

beacon light empty from my soul
i hope and pray for a better life
i rise from the dark and desolated valley
flames withering my crippled palace
sadly crying for help
solid bitterness forever

So wild and still, my dreams are coming home,
And like a thief of night my love collects

A stoic sentinal midst waves,
you staunchly stand erect and tall.
Emerged in frothy, churning white,
you hold your own in nature’s squall.

Atop, your beacon light shines bright
to let the mariners know well,
there is a guardian at sea

A hero is a person who 'encourages', 
That 'hero' is my beacon light; 
Everyone has a her, say it fictional or a non-fictional one,

Ocean waves crash along the shore
Dark clouds warning, a storm in store
Gulls soar searching for washed up food

sturdy and mighty upon its rock foundation,
a welcome addition with its beacon light,

a stalwart guard facing all kinds of...
