Short At Present Poems

Smiling man,
opening of the pores,
skin party
blood vibration
in the hot bowels...
loving look
 at present life is beauty,
the man just laughs,
 he is abundant and content!...

The problems that we face at present 
Will never be resolved 
By those who seek vengeance for the past.

Does not manhood kill the boy,
each falling leaf a tree destroy
or shall the substance of past things
return to us though memory brings
but shadows' forms unless confirmed,
cast anew and reaffirmed
by us at present living?...

In the past
Life was like an iron without rust!

At present
In lover’s corner I am absent!

In future
I don’t know who will be my lover!

In the past
I was slow and you were very fast!

At present
You never wait for me a second!

In future
Shall I remain a wretched loser!...

If life ceases to be
then I cease to be
what I am.

Because life is
here and now,
I exist at present.

Because tomorrow 
does not concern 
me at all.

Because no one 
has ceased living,
gone there beyond,

come back afterwards
to confirm that there is
heaven at the other side....

both they sun and moon
                                       east and west play together
                                           rise and set same time 
                                  warm hearts bear sweet memories
                                       build their future at present...

Minor strength holds the small seedling from the start;
Allowing it to be placed near the river.
Refreshing water wets the fertile soil’s part;
Yearly fruits fill the branches that grow faster.

Radiant zenith of triumph shines at present
On oasis of birds neath the sky fulgent.
Sought as a warm shelter or sanctuary; 
Even the leaves make it an elegant tree....

Simply knowing thyself in our Lord helps.
And where there is contentment there are 
The wonders of God which work and prevail
And are even more lush of a garden that in 
Soil of gratitude prayer, praise, repentance
Yield the mercies and grace of God towards
Many and is healthy for us who dwell in earthly
Bodies at present.




S.E. Clark 12/4/16  Praise Jesus!!!...

Queen Victoria ruled half of the world;
Michael Jackson wowed the world with his moon-walk;
Shakespeare's inspiration to poets is immortal;
Beethoven's music tastes like milkshake to the ears, even at present.

All these people, and many such others, have made history as individuals,
fascinating, influencing and dominating millions of souls. This reminds us that
the smallest ants cast long shadows....

You and I, we don't see the days that pass in the same way.
My days are not here there over there, somewhere.
Days in my life are far away.

I measure my time by seasons, and the seasons pass by.
Seasons represent change and right now that is what I need,
I need my seeds of change to be planted

I feel I am standing on the edge of something,
Should I look down?
At present everything seems so far away....

What will you cling to
When the art is letting go
Cling to nothing
Tarnish not the vision
Of the artist
Not the viewer of his art
Cling not
To what it might have been
Nor what it is
To you
At present
It will change
With each sun-teased shadow
Alter its depth
With the passage of time
So cling not
To what you would have it be
Nor to what it once was
Close your eyes
And let it become
Yours…now

Shattered Obsidian
Depiction at present never 
recorded
Insight into the depths never 
possible
Understanding never feasible
Virtue of limitless love never 
envisioned
Glimpses the height of 
comprehension for most
Obsidian shell's razor edges 
protecting fragility within
Shielded scars deep behind the 
mask
Cryptic and secluded manner
Solitary existence paired with 
aversion to close 
companionship...

March wind
Written: by Tom Wright
7-9-2016

You roared and howled throughout the day,
And late your voice is reduced to a whisper.
Content that at dusk you’ve had your say,
But your slurred voice was never crisper.

Now the willow branches marginally sway,
And your potential, at present, is hushed.
I observe the stillness at the close of day,
Taking note of the objects you’ve crushed.

I don't know why do I cry or laugh sometimes with no reason ;
Few times I dance alone thinking it is a rainy season!!
Thinking of past, looking at present, dreaming of future  I kill my time.
When my eyes are filled with tears, I need someone to say cheers.
Wanting to be alone and deciding whether I need this or that!!
I dont know what is this ??
But always brings me a bliss.

Then I realized I'm a TEEN...

Listen to me…..
Instead of weeping in the dark,
Have  deep thoughts….
Stalking at the night, 
Does not make you right.
Instead of thinking about past,
Have a look at present,
And think about of future.
At last if you want to die,
Do it now, because nobody worries.
Stop thinking of the past,
Which drives you insane.
Instead of following someone,
Follow your books, 
So that can help you some how.
Here is your beginning…….....

You all should know my aim:
To hit the lasting fame.
I wasn’t made a lame, 
Not, at present, Old Dame,
And great prizes could claim…

Men who to Peaks lay claim
Forget not strength would wane:
The once fleshy turns “Cane”
Exciting bubbles ‘Pain’,
Much labour “Little Gain”
The Sane “A bit insane”:
Soon, Towing Van with Crane…

Not washed away by Rain
Here, there or in Bahrain.
The whole shame, the whole Stain…

Don’t join The Delay Train....

I’m feeling a little bit queasy.
I’m sure it was something I ate.
So I think it be best
If my stomach can rest;
Any intake will likely tempt fate.

My mom was a fervent believer,
When I felt this way, that some hot tea
With grape jelly on toast
Would be better than most
Other foods to bring health back to me.

It worked back when I was a child
But at present it doesn’t appeal.
Yet some chips and a beer
Somehow seem to appear
Like the best anti-queasiness meal....

The tide's out at present
 Means the water's further away
 There's a whole lot more
 Beach out there
 Than there was
 Six or even five hours ago
 Temporary real estate
 Suitable for construction
 Of the grandest of sandcastles
 Unobstructed sea views
 One hundred and eighty degree vista
 No permit required
 
Its a longer walk to the water
 But not as far to swim
 As it often is
 This time of day
 It's thanks to the moon we're told
 Taking the beach away
 Every 12 hours
 For cleaning I imagine...
