Make Me Done

Threatening clouds above
Send in lightning of love
I rove through raindrops of fall
Overall, I’m feeling my way through trees so tall
The air is dissipating the despair in my heart
All along, you tried to fix my heart...

Dealt With My Cards Irrationally

I have heard that you lived a successful, surreal and spectacular lifetime
I have heard that you given it your all and dealt with your cards so fine
I have heard that you are beyond intelligent than...

Running Away From Hibernating Ren

Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering...

A Vision of the Despaired

…And the obscurity ever so profound…
Stuffing a new-born with apprehension…
Nebulous prophecies it recites…
As my prospect begins to diminish…

The ravens soaring high above…
As fatality becomes the conqueror…
And he dwells in the deep murk…
When the wolves discard...

Put Away Childish Things

Put away childish things
yet keep the childlike wonder.
Though dreams be rent asunder
our wishes still have wings.

Put away childish speech
but not the constant queries
that question rooted theories
which reason cannot reach.

Put away childish ken,
though artless ways of...

The Live-in -- Part 3 of 3

I lie - what wife mine’d been saying (our solidarity betraying)
Was in fact much more dismaying: “Why have you not come before?
From our lives you’ve been absented – with your coming, I’m contented.”
Would I could...

Tales of Dedan

I am Dedan
I tell tales
Tales of fight
Tales of freedom
Freedom to breathe
Freedom to think
Think to prosper
Think to liberate
Liberate Humanity
Liberate my land
Land is the mother
Land of my origin
Origin of human
Origin to be evolved
Evolved you are
Evolved from this...

Never Again

Pulled together
by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness,
fueled by an insatiable ardor
to evade a shortage of love.
Mutually splintered souls searching
for a place to embed and
implement a façade which conceals
mutilated minds.

Spurious attempts to disarm 
the timebomb which...

~a Fix Doesn'T Need a Needle~

For much of my life I have been portraying
this seamless shell built just for displaying
to a world so intent on miming their play,
that reality’s bored, not wishing to stay,
and I don’t understand why it’s delaying
when...

Beating Bleeding Heart-

  bub-blub tump-tump-tump-tump
I was bitten by my wrong choices;
Invited and enticed by my voices;
The ineptitude seemed happy portraying,  beating heart
In there stepped desperate loneliness, bleeding heartbeats
Of unfortunates that are decaying 
chess rising WAIT...

Let's Do It Election Insanity


Yes, Let's Do it. Election Insanity.
....................

Yes! Let us have all felons vote!
Better yet, let's muddy the "Swamp"
Have known killers run for Congress.
Perhaps, even be our President.
Indeed, the Americans have gone looney.

Must be chugging down really...

Love and the Law

(a story in trochaic tetrameter)

Even a Prince must bend his knee
to the lass who has won his heart.
“Please be my bride, stay by my side
forever - tell me we shall wed.”

Schizoid Polypath

Imagine paranoid schizophrenia evolving
as Right-hemispheric totalitarian bipolarity
living in a rabid stress-filled ecosystem
of dismaying relationships
with human nature over-populating systems;
right-winged family 
and those other terrorist aliens.

Now imagine paranoid behavior's function
finds an entirely natural schizopathic response
to an abusive
marginalizing
institutionalizing...

Beautiful and Amazing

12/14/20



Since the dawn of time it was illustrating
One was dominating
The other was failing

There was no relating
Only hating
And instigating

All this debating
And complaining
With poor negotiating
To the youth, what are we demonstrating?
So much division and not a lot...

Advise For Guys Bound For Pathmark

I'm pushing this heavy cart 
without any strenght left,
and through isles swarming with shoppers  
I'm confused by the above signs;
I rush to the one I missed dismaying onlookers.
How can I be so forgetful...
shouldn't I...

Family Tree

Exploring the branches of the family tree can be rather dicey.
Some ancestry could be famous, humdrum or downright spicy!
A feller I know decided to take the risk and check around.
I'm not so sure that he...

England and Its Elegant Splendor

England and Its Elegant Splendor

So as usual my mind started spinning;
Was I at ending or maybe beginning
Of my poems being so bountiful
But dismaying when people do reticule.

England is in all of its elegant splendor
And from...

Natural Curiosity

Natural Curiosity

Do you wonder about the me on my inside
As you gaze at the me on my outside,
A counterpoint to those around us?

What expectations do you hold, in keeping with my
Wrinkled brow and silvering hair...

Being a Dreamer

Being a dreamer is never boring,
	Its like a boat without its mooring,
You can pretend to be a fish,
	Swim a bit, laugh, act so childish,
Or you can fly to the nearest tower,
	Dig a hole and plant...

Hate

Hate
In civilized quarters, an outrageous obscenity:
Unwashed, perishing pant
And, for real, a dismaying insanity,
When a hater heatedly rants
At his subject of unusual dislike,
Whom he would’ve loved to strike:
His heart hammering vessel –damaging beats,
His head contending with...

It's Hard To Keep a Bulldog Down

Old Roxie is dead. She's gone to her bed
Near the drop-off where leaves are decaying.

Yet she rises again from that terrible fen
In a manner grotesque and dismaying.

The grave that we dug, although tidy and snug,
Was...

Living On Borrowed Time

Living on Tulsa Time 
Oops Borrowed Time
Written: by Tom Wright
4/25/2018

As my body infrastructure has begun to crumble,
Time has slowed my steps and I’ve began to stumble.

Body parts have become worn and some were replaced,
And I...

Adieu To Romance

Leaves hang limply from thirsty tree branches
   No breeze dares bestir them, foul is the air
The grass lies dying, a faded sere brown
   No bird his song warbles, flies thickly abound

Fluent

Speak to me
Nimble word-master,
Construct the images
You wish me to possess.
Be fluent in your authority
To command my thoughts,
Motivate this mortal
With your perpetual souvenirs.

Present deliberate challenges,
Enticing and fascinating,
So I may be authored
By your wisdom.
Expose your riches
In stirring...
