Short Goings On Poems

'Tis said that Mercury is in retrograde.
Is it just an astrophysical charade —
An illusory cosmic joke being played?
Is the wee beggar's energy bill unpaid?...

we met doing hot weather
its seen like for the better
hot we met
will not forget
as we talk and walk
along
you set tone
it my mind it goings on and on
your my dream come ture
HOW CAN I
FORGETYOU...

He stood alone.
The quiet seer
watching the goings on
without a word

His heart hidden in torturous
revealing
nothing I could understand

Just know that the realm
from which he accords
is framed in a truth

I just do not understand

Yet truth, nonetheless....

Worried are the dreams of the phyllite degrees
Goings on are those severed screams
Fashion are the promises
Mouths and hearts covered with harness
Demons have received
Humanity minds reframe

Mind games?

The fish know I’m coming

Turtles line the logs
Swans parade in pre-game frenzy
Geese honk from the cheep seats
Muskrat groundskeepers tend the “field”
Bullfrog-voiced announcers “harrumph” the goings on
Dragonfly vendors work the crowd

The fish know I’m coming

The game is on…….

words:
illusion
script off
some
gene
encoded
cognitive
alphabet...
meaning
the mental
the world
is an illusion
a hologram
between synapses...
alluding to the goings-on
within some electro-chemical soup...
three dimensional form and shape are genetic words
to symbolize that which gives being meaning as in: life is a situation...

All things Possible.

Possibla, possibla manific par say.
What strange goings on monif et der play.
I want to make sense and create poetic display
but each time I try I get manific par say.
But possibla, possibla manific par say
I'm going insane or I'm gifted this way.
What language I speak I really can't say
but all things possible when I do it my way....

You’re Secret is Safe
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

None know the secrets of our Grandfather clock
It stands mostly quiet, in its niche,
In our great room;

As if camouflaged, it observes all goings on, 
While eavesdropping on every conversation;

It never betrays any secrets, and most times,
Won’t give you the time of day,
And be truthful about it.

Intervals

Time
lapsing
repeating
a breathing space
respite from preceding activity. 

An interlude that accentuates breaks
and goings on
preceding
silent
gaps.

Thus,
rending
beautiful
flowing music
enlivening auditory delight.

Giving patrons harmonious pleasure,
happiness born
through music
or words
paused.

Spooky rustling in the night
In the corner on my right

Could be this or could be that
Not certain it’s the cat

Awake for so many hours
Diving under bed sheet cowers

Last night woke with a start
Watched light speck about me dart

“Strange goings on, you are sad,
imaginings” said my dad

Sudden awake, hear name call
See-through ghost against the wall

Shaking, “who are you” I said
“I’m from the house of the dead”

What are the particulars 
What are the circumstances
How do they add up
Can you fathom goings-on 
Can you tolerate the tragedies
What are the circumstances how do they tally
In and out of realities 
Can you tolerate the tragedies 
The times that presently past
 in and out of reality 
Can you fathom the goings-on 
The times that presently past 
What are the particulars reality time streams
