Long Unsown Poems

In the darkness of the night, 
a ruby gleams 
to contrast a slumbered eye awakened 
to feeling, 
reflection, light, 
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow
like a beast, in mid-stride,
lost in her midnight dreams is clothed in a...

So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?
Of stars, a quiet, hot snowfall
of white stars; sandal season squall.
Each birch tree here outdoing 
January's record accumulation.

Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of
birches'...

Learning  How To Live...Courtesy, 
Sans Priceless Paternal Experiences
Bequeathed To This Papa From Precious Progeny

The greatest gift cherished, garnered, lamented...,
yet simultaneously recognized as utmost prized
constitutes mine declaration, that both benevolent
daughters (now metaphorically inflight) took wing

On a nameless moment in the vast expanse of endless time,
Something moved, and from the cacophony of chaos emerged a rhyme.
Thus began an epic journey of the spirit, of the unknown,
The seed of this universe,...

I plant no seeds in soil bare,
But in the unseen breath of air—
Where roots of dreams reach deep, unknown,
And blossoms grow from seeds unsown.

Each learner walks a secret path,
Winds shaping sails with gentle math.
No single...

           In the kingdom's sanctuary, 
atop the regal frame,
lies the emblem of sacrifice, 
the crown's hallowed blame.
Nor adorned- with precious jewels-
reflecting royal might,
even more a...

Pushed her womb from North to South
Born with a silver spoon in my mouth

I cried and cried and had swollen eyes
Surprised to see, my mother still smiled

Played a lot in her arms
Entered a life full...

Laid with words
   the writers stone
A fortress was columned
  my only real home

The poetry safe
  as it stammered and tried
As my feelings unbridled
  from the outsiders lies

Each year added substance

I walked along the sea shore
Unsatisfied, craving for more,
Over my face, the tears rolled,
Burdened with fears, cried my soul.

Pondering over unfulfilled greed,
Regretting for every unsown seed,
I could never stand for myself,
Always too afraid, i confess!

In...

Ahab needed shore leave, 
And obsessed so on his dream,
Harpooning some sweet harlot 
Had become his major theme.
He was just a novice mariner, 
His first time far from home.
He’d made his maiden voyage 
With his...

Breath of spring and fresh romances flown
Farther than where clouds their dew have wept! 
Hither sweep your hand upon all seeds unsown:
Reap the gold in winter’s wardship kept!

Bashfully, the moon of March ascends,
Shedding rays of...

Sooner than later
What’s meant to be will always find a way
Goodbyes will turn to goodnight and we’ll stay
Sooner than later......
It’s gonna happen anyway

Let’s lay it on the line
We’re running out of time
Each second holds a...

In tattered stacks I sought my way, through dusty tomes of lore
To trace the steps of yesterday, reflections of a time afore

Where apparitions haunt the mist and tarry for a while
To sadly rue the curs'd...

It stood like a sentinel
at the world’s bleak last shore,
its gnarled branches clawing at
a churning grey November sky,
above a thin and narrowing
yellow band of waning light
auguring the coming night.

Rattling seed pods faintly clicked—

Long past war’s fading drumbeats 
And beyond the miasmic mists of time
Run undercurrents that displace peace 
And fancied futures hoped sublime.
Once staccato beats of war drums abate  
Far from war graves and their dead,
We...

Platform breezes,
spitting rain,
red brick station,
vintage train.
Take a seat,
relax with ease.
Conductor's voice,
'Your tickets please'

Time to leave,
the whistles cry,
release of brakes,
hydraulic sigh.
Boiler stoked,
the pressure's high,
clouds of steam
feed hazy sky.

Pace increases,
prospects vast,
golden sun,
then shadows cast.
Tunnel vision,
fortunes passed,
speed illusion,
double...

Sometime Small Things are Huge
Written: by Tom Wright
3/6/2014

God, 
You left with me your spiritual charge,
For this heart that only you could see.
You introduced a person into my path,
Along with a tremendous responsibility;

You burdened my heart...

As dad and I trod over the newly tilled fields
Feeling warmed by the prospect of the day’s work
His eyes aglow within those granite features
I followed his sight to that field beyond as yet unsown

He called...

In childhood, we saw our tiny world
in brightest kaleidoscopic shades.
There were no greys, only brilliant swirls
of colors that formed vibrant parades
and danced among peridot-green blades.
Our days were varicolored landscapes
of flowers, many sizes and shapes.
We created...

One last trip down memory lane,
one last look at the house of pain,
with busted windows and empty shell,
and stagnant, stinking, wishing well.
Into the kitchen where love once toiled,
the dish now cold, its flavour spoiled,
no seasoning...

Yea if a man labours in pain

They strangled him with family ties,
They tried to get his sympathy
by making fictitious promises and loving lies,
They treated him as if he was their possession,
They gave him everything you can think of
except trust, respect and...

Flame, lightning, midnight sky
science seeks to tell you why
crystals break the light of day
refracting prisms show the way

ears grown on the backs of mice 
growing quicker faster rice
science helps to path the way
a better life...
