A View From a Window
As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,
revealing wanton worlds that race and run aground, insane,
immersed in scenes obscene that savants strive to mask and...

Polar Bears
Symphonic sirens serenade me from afar;
distinctive, delectable scents tickle and tantalise:
my senses awash with anticipation
as, finally, I lay eyes on my prey.
Slowly and surreptitiously,
I draw ever closer to my quarry.
Prancing and playing, oblivious to the...

Once Was a Killer
I stand, waiting, out of the dappled sun light.
Listening to the hollow timpani that is my
stomach, the adrenalin coursing
through my chest, telling me 'its time'
My neuronal switch 'clicks'. I am no longer
inert, I...

My Tired and Lost Soul Next This Wise Advice Out It Screams
My Tired And Lost Soul Next This Wise Advice Out It Screams

And the spitting sun flamed the mass of white desert sand
I trekked alone, jagged pains...

Where I Come From
Where I Come From
Where I come from;
Hills roll like giants walking
misty, like they are smoking
Baobab tree is up-side-down
its twigs zany like of a clown.
Where I come from;
Fathers become fathers
when it is time to be fathers
Mothers...

Four Eyed Cranium
Icy zephyrs slice through my cloak, a spectral wind,
Exhale of dread, shudder and hasten, tremors awaken,
Sensation of unseen gazes, pivot, yet no soul in sight.
Hehe, narrow escape, her beauty, a tantalizing treat,
morsel I yearn to...

Silent unto our sense, yet musical
With eternal harmony, they move
About our darkened vision, the beautiful ones,
Angels of destiny.

Me and My Puddle
I think I was about 19 years old, I was pretty much homeless then,
I had a job, and money in my pocket just no house to stay in,
I was a stranger to town, cause I...

Food For the Gods
Food For The Gods
We overload young flesh
With hordes of old meat!
We defile bodies so fresh
With unwholesome treat
We forsake healthy veggies
In pursuit of fat steaks
We re-direct our wages
Where Butchers’ knife hacks!
Not fats by many a...

I do not know?
collective nouns: ten front teeth are seven thebes every day of the week
homelands / husbands / playing house / strands
& strings of horses behind strangers lounging

depending on how you slice matters, as a perspective
as a twisted bark...

Silent unto our sense, yet musical

About our darkened vision, the beautiful ones,

They mingle with our moments;
There is no sadness that they do...

Liars
Liars
Written: by Tom Wright
9-6-2019
Mendacious people are serious,
when presenting their case.
They’re dishonest, deceitful,
always with a straight face.
They skulk in the shadows,
and others will deride.
Falsehood is a tunic,
they seem to wear with pride
Perhaps It all starts,
with an...

When I Get Like This
When I Get Like This
When I get like this,
Try not to run away and hide.
When I get like this,
Try to see my other side.
When I get like this,
Remember this will pass,
When I get like this,
Remember...

All Hail the Thought Police
My views are trenchant and modest.
My thoughts as clear as day.
I marvel at the things I know
While ignoring much what others say.
You must now follow my direction
And blindly accept all I have in store
Where your...

Dubious Possesion
Roses unfolding the redness inside me
Swathed my heart…my entirety
These petals slowly uncovering with glee
Trying to unveil the veracity.
Peeling the deepness…
Unraveling the emptiness….
Grip the stem of this forlorn petal
Sip all its sweet nectar…
Its yours.
Its yours to...

The Hunter In the Woods
Well met sir, in this silent wood
Where I seek verse and you seek blood,
I knew you were not far from here
Your gun spoke loud, its message clear.
I judged your day was a success

Bibliobibuli
I open my bleary eyes,
To the beautiful sheaf of sunlight.
Book lying beside me sighs!
And whooshing sound of papers rant, as they fly by.
Baby! Why you left me without saying good bye!
What do I tell you...

To Poe
He stole my life's love and betrothed
to have and claim as his own mate,
and now I plot, my dark soul clothed
with blackened rage and clouded fate.
The flames that burn within me lead
toward an every fiery...

rocks and shells by the shores of lakes and rivers,...

A Halloween Party 2: the Aftermath

These chillers and killers and villains great
From a Halloween party that misbehaved

Humbling Pride

What need have we of Romes?

To perceive all that is truly real.

At long last - blissful retirement to do as I please!

The Night Market
If you wait until the sun goes down,
a thousand suns will rise.
Artificial, bright, igniting
tangled clouds in smoggy skies,
and flooding dingy streets
with fluorescent streams of light
that carry waves of people,
cresting, crashing, clashing
across mismatched sidewalks.
They speak...
