Rest Assured Poems

Whenever you look up
And see the stars and moon
Rest assured that I still love you
We'll be together very soon

I can always see your heart
I except all that it holds
I will always be right here

When the sun does not shine
And the noon becomes dull
When the moon goes too soon
As daylight fades on the horizon
Be rest assured, I will always love you

When you see my flaws
Or feel like not loving me anymore
When you begin to...Read More

Skip a planet down the line
Where the Martians play within our mind
For carry-outs just call ahead a month or two
However, rest assured that none would answer you

Earth she pulls us close, our living Mater
Not to fly away at once (a...Read More

Did you know that you were loved
Though I told you everyday
Did you know that you would leave
upon that fateful day
If only all those friends had said
how much you meant to them
Their words of love and joy sweet boy
If only they...Read More

...‘I belonged to a species like your own,
born of a mother of flesh and blood,
our people were guided by our own god,
who had lifted us up out of the mud.

‘We were an impossible old species,
with each generation we would improve,
but...Read More

All I want for Christmas is a chainsaw
And Stanley Black and Decker is the brand for me.
As my yard is skewed with many leaves and pine cones
All stealthy delivered by my neighbor's tree.

Now Santa... I've gone and asked my neighbor
To...Read More

I fear to break this news to you, my lord,
I wish that you might remain serene,
But no delay I fear we can afford.

Good God, my dear, do not noise it abroad!
Only tell me,...Read More

So many opportunities, 
Unselected in my life.
I've travelled to & fro
Gaining get strengths from all my strife.

Learning ways to cope
Teaching others too.
I just hope I've been rewarded
When Karma Does ensue. 

I've been kind to others
& ive shared with what I've...Read More

Some people take to Facebook
In an effort to create
A safe and pleasant habitat
By unfriending those who wish debate.
But then still rile against a college chum
Who has not lost their winter weight.

We drone on about the weather
Far too often before we...Read More

LuLoo

What can be said of a friend so true
Like my good friend known as LuLoo
She is talented in so many grand ways
And I could praise her for days and days

But let's just say, so the world can see
She has become...Read More

 Rest assured, the mountains, they watch like fire. 
By man, the insidious acts do not burrow into the past.
 Gone without notice.  
Falling backwards, one could perceive the undoing of all deeds;-
Until time, once again throws them to...Read More

July 25th, 1996 tied the Gordian knot,...
(I spent noose cents)
begot deux daughters, the major events
both since flew cuckoo's nest,
the eldest angry at papa for offense

sieve behavior fatherly bond
forever sundered permanent rents
unforgiving progeny vents
bile, explosive vitriol whence...

Aye yen for bachelorhood every

In my dream, I reached a barren land of death
And I realized, I never saw a butterfly on a flower 
I never saw, In recent days.

I kissed my dream gently; she needs rest assured
As, after all the sounds of life...Read More

The Sun had risen to greet the day
    and marveled at such a range of wondrous things.
Where below the warmth it brought to bare
    was causing a Thrasher's heart to sing.
But most of all......Read More

DO NOT FOLLOW ME

Me, myself and I
Get the likes you try
Addicted to self and my
Inflate yourself a lie.

Do not follow me
I don’t pretend to be
Nothing, a nobody
Human not a diety.

Social media making scars
You are not who you say you are
Trapped...Read More

Of words unspoken,
That you will never know.
Warm embrace,
You will never feel.
Tears not cried,
That I can’t wipe away.
Joy unsatisfied,
Hope unfulfilled,
I take them as my own.
To honour times never spent,
To sweet, bitter, forever lament.

Aching short moments,
I treasure dear.
Loss that lies deep,
In the...Read More

There was a time years ago when the City showed its best.
With majestic hills and flowered streets, the Paris of the West.
Where business types and techno geeks discuss their politics.
While artsy fartsy folks and Hipsters search out their coffee fix.

Once at the roundabout, I stopped for precaution
Stretching my arching legs, so much exhaustion
Many a long mile I have been, 
I am steadfast without chagrin. 

Left there yesterday to get here early
Didn’t get lost but tired for surely
A pack on...Read More

To
The Weathered Old Barn
By: Tom Wright
11-3-04

A stranger came by just the other day,
with an offer that set me to thinking.
He had seen my old barn from the state highway,
and up my driveway he sped just cranking.

He was typical city,...Read More

Walk with me, hand in hand.
Welk up the tears, O my friend!
Wack! Don’t shy away, one day your foes too will commend.
Don’t Balk to share your pain, give yourself a chance to amend.
Bilk the defeat! Rest assured, the surges will...Read More

How can I explain to you,
you a poor mortal,
what a free spirit is?
Consider I have no bounds,
I go just where I fancy.
I relish moments of madness
without ill effects.
 
Can you see me waltzing
with a fiery tailed comet
that orbits around far...Read More

My Prayers Were Thoughts On a Mission
Written: by Tom Wright
2/12/2013

You’re a living example of an answer to prayer,
Only vagueness existed in which we would stare.

Constant thoughts lingered, eyes couldn’t behold,
Knowing not God’s timing, but that it He controlled.

God answers Prayer...Read More

If my house was on fire,
What would be the things, without which I would not retire?

Sixteen minutes of fate and so many things to accumulate.
Seven things that keeps our emotions entwined,
Would make my priority before I wind up and evacuate.

Mom’s...Read More
