light through icy mist
color of the damselfish....
longing to be kissed...

keeps to himself in city’s

ACHROMATIC ROSE

the virgin on her wedding night
a thorn through the heart
~ deathly cold outside

I followed a single snowflake
On its free-fall journey to earth.
Obscured by its frozen, cloned kind
Landed silently camouflaged
Like a virgin parachutist
Whose achromatic flake added
To the cumulative beauty
Of a wintery afternoon.
At that moment I realized
Beauty was not a single truth
But a delightful harmony
Of invisible qualities
Comprising the form of beauty
Most often sadly overlooked....

Iniquities vertical archways 
Traversing twilights retro
Drafted abysmal shadows
Aneath the roses bush...
Coloured acrylic murals 
Acidics transcending 
Medievils vague ambulant 
Abstract mystique ?
Embellished cerium 
Charcoals as that of gothics 
In vitro; masque'd
Achromatic architectural 
Envisioned designs...
Gomorrah's holistic 
Gargoyles; a black plagues 
Overture amid, Nefarious
Nepenthes, garden of her eden....

An achromatic statue of a Union bugler
soldier stands high above
a tiny municipal park
where class Aves defecate daily
on his stone-cold cap and shoulders.
Monday and many more Memorial Days
We will dignify this warrior
And others like him lost in battle.
Honoring them with flowers,
Prayers and parades,
eulogistic speeches
praising them for giving us
another day of freedom
in America, home of the brave....

The filigree ship sails on the dreams ocean
Ethereal waves, celestial motion
The sea faring souls safely inside
As the silver toned vessel fervently glides
The achromatic expanse of sail, sky and sea
Tugs at my grasp as I immerse in de corps esprit 
The filigree foam fills each filigree swirl
Beautifully destroying my shadowy world
The choice is to wake from this leaden grey trip
But my heart longs to silently sink with the ship...

An exhibition of colors
Dancing and intertwining wildly;
Creating a beautiful chaos. 

Each color a piece 
Of a complicated, bewildering puzzle
That's constructed and manifests a soul. 

But what happens when the music stops
And the dancing ends?
The once vibrant colors soon begin to fade. 

The colors withdrawal
Depleted, they can no longer shine. 
Only an achromatic gloom remains.

The soul is no longer.
The body is left confused.
What am I now?

Death of a Brother
Written: by Tom Wright
March 2015

His sun slipped below the horizon,
Leaving naught but an achromatic sky,

As thoughts submerged in time before, 
Once abeyant, now dance;

The voice of one since passed,
Drums my ears like Sage Hens at sunset;

While I press to remember cheerier times,
Of days replete with laughter,
My thoughts continue, draped in regret.

Attention being ever focused,
On where we were, not where he is.
