Trying to blend into their masters ideas
And to secure a slot in masters good books
They fought hard to disown who they are
Just to prove themselves worthy
Of their masters colonizing philosophy

always, uncertainty in the cawing, 

an uncertainty he couldn’t hear,

though he tried for most of his life. 

There was brotherhood, yes, brotherhood— 

an association-brotherhood, a knowing,...

No one asks to die

But when you lose someone 
You truly love
Watch them suffer
In so much agony
That you suffered 
And felt the agony and pain too

There was no one in...

The lake was still sleeping
a light mist rose above,
a weathered dock could be seen,
its aged wood; full of memories.

The air crisp, breeze light,
trees majestic; watching all.
Squirrels  busy scampering,
as a flock of geese soared above.

TO HELP THE DEAF TO HEAR AND THE BLIND TO SEE

intoxicated by entwined souls,
breasts beating, breathing
in the amalgamation of us.
trust in lips, tongues, stress
of otherworldly communication.

slightly shy, surrendering
to the shift and slide—
sensuality played portentously…
innocence irrigated…

Wedding bells rang this
Early evening:

We tossed seed
Into air hued
Lilac by shadow,
Laughing with joy though

Papa, he brooded,
And Mama’s red cheeks
Ran freshets of
Tears, brine for the
Years she pampered and

Loved, cared for her girl,
In hard times and good,
Knowing...

Floating Sentries

Bi-partisan agreements
Written: by Tom Wright

Smiles with approval and flutters her wings

Lightning strikes lonely hearts
soaring.
Green seas vanilla whipped.
On the fringe of my innocence
moon rises then tumbles slow.
Sunrises and we
capture each golden ray.


 Soaring on the thermals of created thought,
reflecting tender fears endless...
 Your tears...
gentle melancholy at...
