Free Verse

SATURDAY, May 28 2022
When in this world you bade adieu 
Leaving your siblings and family in sorrow
But here am i now, paying my last respect to you

Eleven years we haven't seen each other
Now I see you, but can see me no more
As I gaze at you inside that fancy casket
Tears roll back in my face

Delfin at age 71
For me you're still very young
There are still many things to do
Yes, many things to do that to God we offer

I still remember when we were together young
Living in that dusty town called Nampicuan
Many escapades we have done
That made our parents intensely and extremely mad

Those are adventurous actions and capriccios
A part and parcel of being lad’s didos
A modern James Dean in the streets
But became mellow in your old age.

Your teen-age caper and knavery
Are all things to remember
It always remain in my heart and mind
A knocker of my memory in case oblivion prevails.

Like your Big Brother Tito
Who left us 30 years  ago
Won't forget when we we’re all growing up 
Attending worship services and playing with friends.

Now you are like him
Resting in peace, waiting for Christ's second coming
On that Day we all be together again
In the New Jerusalem with our parents as well

You are so blessed my Dear Brother
You can not make any kind of blunder again
While we are still  in this crooked and vile world
Fighting for our faith, defending for our fate

Unknown Affairs
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

I feel, 
Most hate and wrong, in the world 
Can be traced indirectly to money;
Or the lack thereof;
But where does sorrow start?

Cornered within my mind
Are matters undiscovered, I query why?
Possibly, because we see what we wish to see,

But the day comes when un-cloaking occurs,
Or has it been, by another soundless tongue?

A heart filled with sorrow disperses no tale,
And closure of nights sadness,
Comes only, on the day knavery is finished;

Because tears stain the ground
On which I stand,
Doesn’t make me any less a man?
We continue playing the game, 
And I’ll sleep when it’s over;

Premium Member War and Peace

He comes to shake         the foundations of the earth
the work of every hand                   of man to prove
to punish the unjust            and expose sin
and those who hate righteousness           he will remove
 
He has sent the call           into all existing lands
that men should seek peace            and it pursue
to separate            the wheat and tare
and expose the hidden things         men do
 
To close every mouth          that speaks a lie
uncover every            thought of hatred done
he has freely offered           you a life of truth
but will not spare            to scourge when they come
 
For the stories told in time      are now fixed
and what is written in its scroll          now firmly set
he will open them       for his kings to judge
and those who have found mercy              their sins forget
 
Those appointed to be Kings         will take their station
they will rule with Christ                     for a thousand years
subject to the rule of God         is every nation
no war will there exist           or the inclement of fears
 
For though the promise           seems long in coming
all the signs are             made visable by light
raise your eyes oh Israel                   your God comes judging
and will reward those                who have walked in right
 
Be reconciled in heart           to seek the truth
that who you are              you come to understand
You are called to love truth             and your brother
until the peace of God           lives in the land
 
The trumpets blast            call the armies to their war
the winged ones ride               the winds of wrath to charge
and poured out is the fury              of his chalice
the cup of violence        is deep and large
 
For all governments of man     are chains to slavery
their aim to lift themselves            and you to rule
but Christ's intent           is to lift you from this knavery
that you might not          become the fires fuel    
 
So make your peace         and seek his mercy now
for when this time arrives         will be too late
though undeserved the offer         of forgiveness
the price will be too high             if delay you wait

Premium Member Dancing In the Celestial Glade

Dancing in the shade
Of the celestial glade

We're moonlit pioneers
Who overcame our fears

Bravery not knavery
In a cosmic soup so savory

Beauty is in crystalline flowers
And monolithic towers

Remove inhibition and take a tour
And enjoy the universe's greatest score

And realize after awhile
Nothing is as beautiful as a smile

And it might assuredly astound
But that is where the universe is found

True courage is to be unshackled from sorrow
With joy we're the saviors of tomorrow

The pain we endure is not in vain
Sit with me and watch the shadows wane

Every smile is a beacon for the sun
And promising days of fervent fun

We're sunlit pioneers
Who overcame our fears

Watching the darkness fade
In the celestial glade

Keep Your Word

Although the endless aridities of mortal survival
Are wont to twist the very best in every man,
Honest be against the knavery of those around,
And always keep your word because you can.

It sounds smart to preach the flat waters
And later to gulp the well-brewed wines,
And a promise broken sounds a witty deed,
But the uttered word will haunt with its fines.

I will not tell you to walk the talk 
For this you’ve clichéd to suit your aim,
And since talking the walk would be strange,
Let your said word be kept to keep your name.

An explanation may be the next best thing
But there is nothing like a word faithfully kept,
The honeyed excuse sounds diplomatic enough 
Yet there’s muse in the honest payment of a debt.

Premium Member Morgan Harper Knavery

Once a boy now a man
                            Morgan Harper Knavery had a plan
                       To be the first officer in an all girls band
                                        Musically thinking
                                          Began drinking
                        His risqué coarse obscene informal blue
                         Ribald  improper, naughty and so lewd
                              Quietly described by first avenue
                                Now a womanizing flute player
                          And the woman found him nay-slayer
                                 So they gathered to conspire
                                  To dismiss him by the hour
                           By impaling him so he would expire
               A stupid murder fell on his flute while taking a shower
              Alas the senseless murder of this bandmate womanizer
             The murder death of womanizer Morgan Harper Knavery

How Passionless My Heart

Sorry for the many times I have loved you.
For the endless nights my images leech, 
And dote upon your memory.
Had not it that your peace drives my last nerve to insanity, - 
Need I mention cupid, the missing factor in this equation?- 
I fray, find me less a wife. 
I do your foil find pleasure in, 
Than that the clergy should hear my vows to you.
I tremble at the very imps I term your kisses. 
Were they, only less sweet? 
The ugly I so love in you- 
Only this would be my death,-
A blunt, in a knavery of emotions so deep within
Yet roaming much without, about, unorthodox in time and sequence

Premium Member Story

I'm just writing my story
Leaving out all the glory
I never tore them; yet the pages and spine are all but broken
Its letters are scattered, yet still the words form a concise omen
Would you read it back to me slowly, please, as you reach the bitter ending?
It hurts my eyes, you see; this heart could use a break from all this bending.....
Being devoured alive inside is such a epic novel unsavory
Moments, however, are kept in order by thoughts of your light upon my gnomon
They just keep coming, though without a care as to whether or not they are heartrending
It's so sour to own a form of pain that is this condescending
A barren land uncultivated and so divided from this yeoman
Painless by comparison to a nose job given by the grindstone of life's knavery
Just as I finished; then, the ink ran dry right before me..... 
It's in this here and now that I've broken out
I wanna scream, but they drown out every shout
Then I think of all the things I ought not talk about:
Have they ever not been a couple minutes too late?
Do they ever have their story straight?
Inside me, hope has made its case to abate....
Hung from ropes unknown, can you relate?
Am I the world's least astute gadabout?
What I feel is that my intentions are drawn and quartered; based fully on others' self-doubt 
But there is no way I will let this point of pitiful; be an excuse to live life by copping out

Pondering a Winter Dusk

I ride the bus...

Tilt a bit, balance-
ponder later. Yolk yellow 
and sky blue, chalk

grey paint. Steel
rectangles; winding parallel 
lines. Circles- Eternal.

Toothed horizons-
golden rose shaped sunset
tauten, its nectar 

steeps; blushes. Inks gnarled
columns of trees, dusky, their
limbs webbed crosses

open to royal skies like
birthing petals, feathery
in twilight of Spring. 

I drive a car...

Hyroid barriers.
Knavery fears. Strands cut like
shards. Glittering. Seamless.

Oily image-
tints of bereavement- becloud-
diabolus gullet. Shock.

Cruer pissades through
sea blue veins, weaving its course 
through the body. Left

turn, straight. Right turn. Stop.
Rotary-circus. Yield. Go.
Emblazen. Exit.

Sunlight through drops
shaking off of Summer green 
canopies-Diamonds-

imortally. Eve, 
Adam. Male, female- supreme. 
Insanity. Gods.

Brilliancy from 
inception of star clusters.
Time-worn. Creator.

Premium Member Seahorses

We humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their fur shiny clean.
And how 'bout tiny ants, who teach us industry,
Or lions and their bravery--and foxes with their knavery?

But what reason have seahorses to be in the sea?
What can they teach us?  How can they enlighten you or me?
Can they sing or dance?  Can they 'cut a rug' in the water?
And if they can't, do you really think they should ought to?

Well, please know that things aren't quite what they seem.
Seahorses are special, unique, and highly esteemed;
In the eye of the sea, they're jewels, all sparkle and gleam.
   See the distinctive manner wherewith these fish swim:
   Upright! propelling themselves ever higher via dorsal fins.
   Then there's the spectacle of seahorse sex and mating--
   No other males on the planet hold the eggs while waiting
      To release them of a sudden by the thousands at a time,
      And then go back at it with their 'exes' on the turn of a dime.

All this leads up to how traditional Chinese physicians
Prescribe 'seahorses' for whatever their patients get sick in:
Everything from wheezing and pain to inducing labor,
With TCM's** practitioners, these fish are ever in favor.

It's clear, my fellow humans, 
From Peking to Paris and on to Toulouse,
Seahorses can certainly be put to very good use...

                                  *****
                ...Prompting this little 'caboose:'
Let US ask this question: Is human activity equally productive?
---Or do WE choose to engage in things far more destructive?
