Under the mystical she glows 
All obscure answers she knows
From her heart love always sows

a startled sun -
scattered elephants on the plane;
their families grieve

My Son, Shawn (1967-1999)

He never calls 
Doesn't write a letter
No longer praises songs I pen
His home is on Higher Ground now
He just visits now and then...

By: Tom Wright

I cannot change my Past
Or my Beginning.
I have only the Present
In which To
Prepare for my Future
And It's End.

It could be implied
that those with all
the luck in this life,
will find their true
vocation at death!
“Furthermore”
It could be implied
that those without
will also!

I'M AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
BECAUSE OF WORDS
WAITED SO LONG TO BE UTTERED
THEY TICKLE MY SPINE
SWIM THROUGH MY BLOOD
AND FLOW OUT MY MOUTH SO EASY
THESE WORDS
I FINALLY HEARD
MEAN EVERYTHING.

Empty; little love
Little Interest
Scream Loud
Rebirth of 1999
Genuine Pakistani Outcry
Asia is East
Europe is West
Shadow Afghans; Dream for Love
I cannot breath
Time flies; While the beat is rocking...

Back to the 1950’s

If I could see
through the eyes of a child
the flame
the peace
the spirit of the eve
the truth
the reason
naïve
believe.
If I could see
through the eyes of a child

Blind from the age of three
In his heart,music, set free-
A concierto exemplar,
Fashioned for a guitar..to make it sing
Memoria..... to a still-born offspring.

Tribute to Joaquin Rodrigo 1901-1999  Concieto de Aranjuez...

I'm living when I can hardly stand the life I've led so far.
When giving is the hand that reaches out to leave the scar.
With none I'm left subjected to an open empty space.
As one I am connected to a mind beyond this place.

I TASTED YOUR LIPS
SWEET LIKE HONEY
RAN MY FINGERS
THROUGH YOUR HAIR
SOFT AND FINE
YOUR SCENT 
FILLED MY PORES
PALE, GLISTENING EYES
SAW INTO ME
YOU HELD ME CLOSE
AND I HELD YOU UP
LAST NIGHT
I FELT YOU TO MY SOUL.

Is Sin The Same?
By: Tom Wright
1999

To God,
Sin is nondescript.
Upon the heart,
Like ink,
Sin leaves
A blackened spot.

At Calvary,
Stripped and whipped,
He provided a new start.
To think,
Jesus' blood
Was our sins blot.

Shooting my classmate’s brother
(that war within a war)
I sat next to him at The Point
still targeting him sure
More than blood will flow this day
memory also dies
As honor sells its soul in vain
— each headstone marks the lie

(Maryville Tennessee: March, 1999)

God, has started my blessings now
To see if I'll keep my vow
The end of times will be rough
But his spirit in me, will be enough


I must shine through the darkness
Let the light penetrate all the mess
Cause greater is he that is in me
Than he that's in/of the world you see

The times they sure are a changing

The clock struck 6 then
proceeded to 7

And on the stroke of midnight
come 1999 the year became 2000

And on my bithday i was no longer
47 but 48

The time's they sure are a changing

And so am i

Ain't nothing i can do to stop it

Even if i wanted to...

I want the dripping edge 
of my words
to be raw,
like wind in a hurricane
like creation’s power before it acted
like anger before attack
or lust before love
Intuition before reason
Samson before Delilah
Meaning before definition
Epiphany,
—before the letters form

Your career would thrive
with your hit song “Mambo Number Five”.
Many thought that song was fine.
It was a chart buster in 1999.
With other songs, you may have tried.
As a “one hit wonder”, you are classified.
Are we going to hear from you anymore?
I hope you regain your popularity as before.

When I walk through the darkness
Of the night,
I can see the lonely souls
That died before the light.
They moan and groan
As they walk through the city;
They moan for our brothers,
And all their pity.
They cry and wail
As they're tortured by loneliness;
While our sisters live
In endless bliss.

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease
 Hypertension
 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year

Every night I pray,
That I'll see her some day.
I know in the darkness of the night,
I will soon, see the light.

The fact that she's gone,
Is as sharp as a dart; 
Flys through the air,
And puntures my heart.

I know one day
I will see her again.
She will remove that dart,
And heal my heart.
I love her so.

orphans of the storm
we race towards meaning
seeking
tripping on threads
of delusion
frantic wandering
towards nothingness
mapping our descent
veiled as ascention
we are dark angels
treading lightly
on the narrow road
to disparity
this futile journey
a wasted lifetime
and in the end  
we are back
at the beginning.

For my little boy,
who brings me so much pride and joy.

He captured my heart,
but truthfully--he had it from the start.

It’s really quite simple--
his smile… and that dimple.

I’ll be sad when he starts to grow,
but there’s one thing I’ll always know:

He will forever be mine,
our hearts forever entwined.
