fringes of summer
linger, clinging to fall's new
crisp  blanket

Blue shawl unfurls
Furls spreading white fringes
Waves covering the cold shore

I
feel you
running scared
on the fringes
wondering whether or not I've left
debating with yourself, is she hiding?"
inside myself
I look out
seeing
you...

The scorched edges of all you wanted affirmed.
Are they now permanently scarred forever?
Brittle, kindled fringes familiar
But still strong at the queens glorious heart...

Another needless squabble
Leaves him fatigued
Like faded fabric
With frayed fringes
Another dismal day
And he’s left disappointed 
Depleted and depressed
A discard
It’s damn dangerous...

Nobody ever listens,
so I stopped talking at all;
Fading to invisible,
but oddly comfortable;
Reached out, nobody was there;
Left on the fringes of thought;
Silence revealed what was real....

Why linger here on the fringes, still
Hanging on for dear life, it seems
The scent of jasmine haunts, yet
No time for playing keeps
The swallows have gone
Wind chimes, they swing
Lights turned low
Moon guards
Me

sun closes it's eyes
shadow fringes next to me
within four walls of darkness
midnight oil brewing storm
lantern of faith reignites love

The sun sets on fringes
As the tired day cringes
Hope in the sky hinges
On tinges of twilight
As the night sky infringes
On my thoughts, that singes!

Dancing on the fringes
waltzing through the fire
Tango once the step of choice
driven by desire

Life a dark flamenco
words to not intrude
Motion trumping conscious thought
—foxtrot interlude

Of the reasons are explanations-
Pockets, frailty, disorder, excuses

Various angles of view
And I miss the bull’s eye
Score me on the fringes anyway

Am borrowed on tomorrow
Leading of life, that’s the worth
Go, in peace, from me-my loss...

try not to go longingly
into the silent nighttime
best to stay on the fringes
of despair so that you reach
the inner skeleton soon
one needs experience to
know how to handle one's life
and reason tries too hard to
impress a meaningful mind...

death came in the dawn
fringes of sweet petals die
fading like a dream

foggy 

feather fringes flow 
from fine fancy foliages ---
flamboyant foxes 

soft, silky, shiny 
solemn savory serene ---
saintly sacred scene

shrubs stand so senile
does sun hide his face in fear?
parade of phantoms

The older I get
  the louder the Muse does parade

The shorter the moment
  the deeper her message invades

The older I get
  distant voices filter and fade

With death on the fringes
  —all focus recentered and staged 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)...

I see a Japanese lantern,
With gossamer petals, she grows,
Crafted in intricate pattern,
She gives a magnificent pose,
Striking red and dressed in fringes,
She inspires with bleeding tinges.

NEW AGE DYNAMICS 4


New dreams encircle
Beyond borders and fringes
As humankind configures
A sense of crisp oneness
Of common purpose
Not enslaved by skin colour
Or vain arrogance
Where dignity and compassion
Bloom with grace and light

The child has drawn a stick-figure. 
Primitive, it lacks a pulse. A child 
sees a hero beyond nerve and sinew, 
heart red as rhubarb. In buckskin 
fringes, gazing into a pool 
just struck by lightning. 
Three more strokes of crayon
create a stallion at full gallop, 
its hooves touching nothing but air....

Curly fringes 
of yellow Roses
Nestled deep in Garden’s clutch
Tug insistent upon bumblebee noses
Teasing them in with temptress touch

Covert trade… 
Golden pollen for golden nectar
In transaction to them known not as such
With siren song and no hint of hector
A touch of sweetness…but not too much

Art Deco with her thin women
Pointed noses
Uppity attitudes
Elegant manner of dress

Art Deco with her square jaws
Curly ques made just so
Her flapper fringes
rivaling her outrageous hemlines

Art Deco with her ultra-modern ways
so shocking in the forties
when we listened to our shows on the radio
without seeing visuals...

Acidic Tongues
Written: by Tom Wright
6/11/2018

It’s easy to stand on the fringes and complain,
While vehemently objecting to another’s view;
A dissenter casting stones at things of disdain,
Destroys no quicker than our acidic tongues do;


“Let him who is without sin cast the first stone;”
John 8:7

Where am I in you?

Am I just sitting on the
  edges of your mind,
Easily flicked away
  when you haven't the time?

Am I just a peripheral vision?
A perimeter friend?

Do you just glance through my glass
                 quickly,
            then out again?

After all this time,
Am I still just on the fringes of your mind?...

wandering in the wilderness
unleavened bread in a haste
blood of slaughtered lamb on
the windows they will pass over
magic rituals demons fight 
black leather boxes ,scrolls of par
chments, knotted fringes on the corn-
ers of garments ,redemption of first born
few silver coins ,out of the house
of bondage she cried on my shoulders...
