“Pearl Diving” (Part 2)

Angel fish are pretty, but they’re boring that’s they’re lot
the Man O War is far too flashy, frivilous, 
Octupi are too touchy feely always begging for the real thing way too early,

John 13 (Part 2)

And now the hour was well advanced
for Him to take His leave.
He'd go the way His Father said
and leave them all to grieve.

He'd eat the bread His Father gave
(the work that He...

Life is a challenge, seems it's always a fight
Kept on our toes, fists balled up tight
But every so often there's an ease of its grip
it'll loosen just slightly to present a small dip
Uphill we must...

He's not over it,,I hear from all sides,
Hoping to get answers from other people's eyes,
I won't budge, I won't move,
I refuse to allow him to repeat his abuse,
He'll get over it eventually and hopefully move...

 Surround it with patience.

 To be luminescent.

safe haven for poets once existed
till destructive forces came on board
those who seek just to hurt others
end up harming themselves

several such people have inflicted pain here
though no one would call them “writers”
juvenile antics and hateful...

Does the world revolve around you?
You bet they do
You are the most important person in the world
To you
And to God
Those are the two you need to aim
To please
If they are not happy

We’ve arrived at a place where we’ve mail in voting,
and media's become a politics machine.
Most every state now, has legalized gun toting,
a rock and a hard place we’re now living...

 minute poem 

Stretching, I might be four-foot-six
I've learned to fix
the wixumph jokes
of thoughtless blokes.

Some people are antriphinal -
not short on bull
"Peanut," they yell
"Who cracked your shell?

Perspecitus, 'tis a good word
When thoughts get blurred,
I watch...

Filled With Themselves
By: Tom Wright

The smugness on Nan's face beamed a look of rebuke,
So I exited the room feeling the need to go puke.
Politics is a profession known for being cutthroat,
And each time one claims...

Two is company
Three a crowd
A and B call the shots
I'll C my way out

I've become a nuisance 
With the key to their heart
A knee high fence
Setting them apart

They clear with ease
The top of my Hurdle
I'm...

Your sweet smile on my chest makes my eyes open with a...

Look at life as your face in the mirror. 
How you look is what you represent in your life.
Every line, every patch, every scar, and every color
will be another story that everyone will ask about.

Back at the back, 
she was not, 
hot.
Good a lot, 
loved the most.

Bus station,
off at the station.
Lost.
'My only station,
is she lost?

Bush sided gravel road, 
to our help..
faced, phased was face, 
dominance, supremacy,
look of a highness.

"Miss",

blood dripping, axe swinging, gun shooting, lives hanging.
Call the shots, save the lives, make it worth while.
Addicting, exciting, scaring, deciding.
What will the outcome be?? Will evil prevail?
sychopaths, druggies, abused, deadly.
Lost love and never found their...

Resting my thoughts, I look unto Thee
Your peace flows divine
Resting my fears, I can clearly see

Resting my worries into Thy care
All I need is trust
Resting my sorrows, I say a pray'r
Faith in...

The world moves, nothing stays still.
The music flows, to make life good.
Stories hold us together, to relate.
To understand the connection we have.
Sage smoke rises, spirit voices call.
Sunset tears fall, like colored raindrops.
Riders spur horses, slickers...

Two pennies on dead eyes.
The living laid out in tubular ranks
as if giving thanks to the majesty of rows.
An Instagram Pope barks secular commands
while pilgrims charge a ruined castle.
Clockwise they all turn deadly
a carousel of...

And then I remembered the...

There is a dark place
It's in the back of my mind
Sometimes I will summon it
Other times, me...it will find

This place holds the pain
And the suffering too
It holds all the scars
From the things I've been through

It's...
