No losses
Only losers
Once ed
About bosses
But now nobody
Tells yous
What to do
And I’m at a loss
Calculating the 
Whole cost
Of living
A mess
I scream it out
I hate alcohol
Let’s not digress...

So; I divulge to the moon.
I demonstrate eternal life
I divulge credentials
When will I be proud
When will I be happy
I am unhappy
I want to digress and plug
What shall I do
I will digress
I want to go to Greece...

Dear secret Valentine 
I hold your letter 
In my arms
Like a soft 
Embrace 
Or a goodnight kiss
Your word linger in my mind
Only to remind me 
Of the troubles I've left behind
But never the less
I digress...

He thrust in me
What some call “love”
Feeling the pleasures
Of a hidden pain
My emotions digress
Falling into an empty soul
Stained by my flesh
Ripping myself off
Purity lost
And an undiscovered love
Swept away...

You have to want it 
It is all up to you 
Just follow your routine 
Think everything through 
Always move those feet 
Continue on with your progress 
Fight the battle until the end 
Stay on track and do not digress...

this dream unfolds; why carry stress
whilst ensconced in divine caress
let nonchalant be our response
with love divine, our steadfast sconce
from path of truth, never digress

No perseverance, no success.
Attainment eludes those who digress.

Great ideas fail sans hard work.
Those challenges, we must not shirk.

She wears a stunning shell
Unbroken and full of life
I feel the warm glow of her skin
Desiring a conversation begins
Shame blocks progress
And I digress
My empty shell, broken
Fragments in my nest
Just me and loneliness...

new year dawn
lines are drawn
2021 no yawn
tax withdrawn
I’m overdrawn

I’m so blessed
I confessed
to my guests
no contest
I digress

passive quiet still
where reflections lie

to wander,to dream
digress and mystify

then discover and discern
the rudiments of grace

with exegesis rather than
eisegesis or paraphrase

a doctrine from macro
to micro....conceived...

Time doesn’t turn its wheel the way you want 
It makes its own track ever extant 
You may find or you may not 
It doesn’t digress even if you are distraught.

Scare crow
Cold shivering down my spine I digress
In oblivion of misleading
Soothing I caress
My dreaming

Petrified stupefied I suppress
As it led my going
I became a numb horse
Enchanting

Heart mended
beneficial Trust
blossom forecast
fairyland disguise 
family man confused
in plaid t's vapor 
patterned flavors
If it ain't the rest
It ain't the best
I digress
I'm a total mess
congested chest
fill me up
with your
Drug

My daughter wrote a poem 
“Twenty Dollar bill” 
It will have memories of her 
That will certify 
“Once upon a time in Hollywood.” 
 
We decipher, we digress 
Pizza talks, Hot Pizza 
Cold Beverages 
 
And we surmise 
Because we need to be  
Our best selves 
In becoming....

I choose joy
There is always
Joy

always will be pain
Only when frozen
yet remains you could drown
In accumulative amounts of rain

unrests hurts
discomfort I digress
I choose joy
There is always
Joy

I carve and cut my quarters from a cork tree
Intermittently pausing to assess my progress
Young yet yellowing Yggdrasil on the Yangtze 
Getting grander but perishing in the process
Good God gaze at this gape and give a guarantee
Don't let me regress, digress, transgress, or obsess

Times like this,
I sway in the playground of my mood;
Falling into a melancholic digress.

Hovering over me,
Are misty dews of pessimism.

"How knowledgeable is he
That cannot read minds?"

The heart gets burdened
Knowing not if it's curve,
Would ever be straightened.

Your silence broaches my heart....

Cool the snazzy cat stole a tiger's wife
                                   Fed her a mix of kiss and Nutrilife
                                             She was a tigress
                                           And could not digress
                              From the logic of " kill cool without hype"...

Forbidden Gates
Written: By Tom Wright
January 2015

Some days our thoughts
Want to digress,
And we stand at gates 
Long ago forbidden,
Lurking beyond, 
Things that oft distress,
Affairs of life 
That past keeps hidden.

Thoughts don’t own us, or we them,
We’re all just renters.

If I could love you;
 I would 
With just only sincere Brotherhood;
If I could pray for you I shall; 
Openly lien privately withal;
I do my best I shall not digress;
With God for you only I shan't;
That I shall love you oy as a godly brother

As I ponder so weak and weary
I read your story, it was dreary.

No need to thank me for the markup
I digress, is this the wrong tree to bark up?

However red your paper might be
Loving eyes did set it gently free,

Of errors do I speak unjust?
My quill made many a thrust.

I hope you find that I loved it too
Wrote entirely over, just for you....

As I run from your goodness
Your righteousness, should be my completeness
But I have digress, guess I've yes, transgressed
You are but so ever meaning full
putting the rapid before the hole
Spiraling down, spinning round spinning down
Rapid desension,haven't repented
Now I'm headed for Hades
