Running In Circles Poems

Hear that?... It is the sound of the beat. Of course one may say... but it's all so sweet. Guh - guh - guh- guh... such a rhythmic beat. Not to run on, so from the heart I'll speak. Friends...Read More

Thunder and lightening  
Sunshine and rain 
Are more  like  emotions
That   run  through  my brain

Our lives are filled with 
The ups   and  the downs
And  sometimes it feels 
Like a merry-go–round...Read More

The King of the Castle 



Said I’m but a child
Afraid of the world outside 
Afraid to run wild and to  be proud
Of the freedom it provides
Afraid of love 
Afraid of the dark 

Said you have another side to you...Read More

Round eyed cat studies the merits of the day
Meanders through a labyrinth of thorny grass
Four legged wildebeest never knew what hit it
The water is so cool and refreshing by the by
Heads hang low over the over populated location
An oasis in...Read More

I was liken a race car driver, while on the tracks of life my spiritual self just keep on running and running and running and running and running and running, running.
My physical body just tried of the days on things....Read More

I'm on that stupid mode!
Ignorance shooting like haters:
No wars, no conflicts...
Running in circles: "Ain't that Ouroboros"
I know Venus scared of snakes,
Hence the circle we always have to draw!

Whoa! creepy nights as moon crescent appears, 
waning..., waning..., waning...!
New babes coming and...Read More

I didn't mind
A little white lie

I made a tapestry
A testament to this
My deep sorrow

Painted gray
Splashes here and there

Nowhere soon
Kicked the bucket
Stubbed my toe

I screamed out loud
But in my own head

I can't be heard
My heart can't reach
Those silent eyes

Running in circles
Falling...Read More

Under Glaring lights visions of my mind blurred and hazed
Of Mom's running in circles, Dad's trapped in a maze_ 
Living the same cycles of life, refusing to change their ways.
Lil sister and bro's facing harsh growing pains__
realize hard work don't...Read More

Speed Bumps
Written: by Tom Wright
2/20/2013

Are you ever found striving,
To just get over the hump;
But each day of the week,
Is like another speed bump;

As soon as we clear one,
And start to pick up steam.
Another problem arises,
Prompting from us a scream;

It seems...Read More

Swinging in circles
At the playground in the dark.
Running in circles
To try to reignite sparks
I once had when I was young.

Homeless within who to turn to,
Empty vessels speak launder,
Humming the morning chicken sounds
Proclaiming the fascination of the end of the darker days
You’ve always been around, but you might be forgotten
Wind blowing from every angle might be the reason
Self searching might...Read More

HAPPY THANKSIVING TO ALL AMERICANS OUT THERE. 



Cluck put-purr kee kee went the turkeys in the back of Jim's truck. He was delivering them to neighboring vicinities for Thanksgiving. When he reached Tom's house he yellared "Turkeys for sale!" Tom...Read More

It’s been a long time coming
But I’m still on my game 
Writing is the only outlet 
That frees me of this pain
I Talk it how I walk it
And this Walk is insane
Some days are harder than others
I gotta stay in...Read More

It comes to you in the post
the first day you’re born
certified and normalized your invoice of sale 
in Christmas cards sent you
while you’re at school
authorized, depersonalized 
let’s all hope you do not fail

It falls on your doormat
with this months bill

Oh, very well.
At least at the end I'll be ... farther along, I suppose.
Step after step in my afternoon jog.
It's funny how I hate running in circles - 
but we're always running in circles; it's Earth, after all,
only nobody ever...Read More

Is this love or is this lust?
Truth should be told when she's walking with another man
Will I breakdown into pieces and lose her trust
Time will do the talking, the walking on this page is for the pen
My first words are...Read More

A favorite pastime of mine is to watch wildlife from our front porch or window. Kentucky bluegrass provides a perfect backdrop for deer drinking from the lake, pretending not to watch fawns running in circles, bucking and playing in the...Read More

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling

You left me like Alice, lost in Wonderland,
running in circles with my heart in my hand.
I thought our love was so beautiful and strong.
Tell me, please tell me, where did I go wrong?
Have I lost my...Read More

You must walk across the fire,
to reach what you dream for.
And yes you will get tired,
but it will make you want it more.

You feel you're running in circles
and the battle is to hard,
wishing for a miracle,
but you have already come...Read More

The man is lion of this jungle
Armies to him are humble.
He runs non stop to make things run
And never let's a crawl walk until it runs.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a...Read More

The biggest test of my heart and soul,
Has been to trust in you, to let things go,
Some people will allow you to have the last word,
To manipulate your heart, to make you feel unsure,
Rest assured,,,their plans weren't yours,
There was no...Read More

Running in circles
Chasing what I want
I’ve been searching for someone like you
I swam across an ocean of doubt
Leaped over a mountain of regret
Just to find you

I beg and plead
That they won’t come back and take you home
And the confusion never...Read More

in the dark of the night... 

beep beep... hush hush

Within our world in a rush

when push comes to shove we need a hug

things in life get pushed under the rug

 

these are desolate times yet we 

settle for ill but...Read More

Running in circles I am
Nothing ever lasts
Seasons change then times pass

Dreams smothered in overwhelming emotion 
Feels like someone is losing devotion 
Running in circles I am

World turned upside down compared to mankind's notions
See as the returning withers the oceans

Shredded by...Read More

  Like a dam that holds water back water, we cannot prepare for God's blessings if we live with barriers that block out God. Break out of the barriers and destroy the dam so that God's rushing water of healing can spew...Read More
