Short Hustles Poems

A voyager
hustles to sail away
before the crepuscule....

I worry about birds
battered frazzle by winds.
But, with feather fluster
hustles, they withstand, affirm....

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly....

I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall from the tree.
It flutters by in sunlit beam.

I sit upon my horse and dream
as leaves drift down into the stream,
which hustles past toward the sea.

I sit upon my horse and dream
and watch a leaf fall down to me....

UNSUPPORTED CODE 
Some Things Never Change
Written: by Tom Wright
22-30-2015

My thinking oft hustles me,
To places of shadow and silence;
Where yet remains, an age-old question,
Whose answer I will never ascertain;
The resolution now lies inhumed
The query, someday soon, will be.
 UNSUPPORTED CODE...

Rush Rush Boggle-Brain
	
Rush rush Boggle-Brain,
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Drive-shift smoggle-vroom,
Whoa! I need to walk.
We are minds-a-blobble,
Gobble, gobble, gobble!
Turkey wild scatter-bush,
Scurry, scurry, scurry!
Feathers rustle
’way she hustles
Whoa! I need to flop....

Have we time enough,
To gloat about,
The dewy haze
Of blossoming spring’s.

Human fears,
That seem to grope along.
Breath,
As it hustles through humid lips.
Reckless mind,
That tempts the soul.
Or where lurks the truth,
The universal truth.

For what man sees
Is a crumbling stage;
Beside the light 
Of  immortal ways....

Baby born off of the bay
Inspiration is into the imagination
Right there ranting like red rovers
Tyrants topple from their towers
He hustles to have his hands hammering homes
Day when daisies drown in detergent; disgusting
And anyone able to achieve amazing accomplishments,
Yields the yellow yaks yammering about the yams.

Happy Birthday!...

At morn the leaves were just green,
When I was just seventeen.

At the bench I sat in vain,
Till sunshine chased the rain.

As green leaves turned to gold,
Softly the colours  manifold.

Now, old  auburn tree rustles,
But the branch no more hustles

LONELINESS

FOR THE LONE ONE ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF
WINDS HUSTLES TO GET HIS DIVIDING ATTENTION
DELVING ON HIS DEEPER MEMORIES

REMEMBERING HER ON THE COLD HARSH NIGHT
DARK CLOUDS HOVERS AROUND HIM
TO ENHANCE HIS MISERY

PERILIOUS CLIFF DID NOT BOTHER HIS THOUGHTS
THAT WAS HIS LOVE LOST AND NOT FOUND
THE DARK NIGHT ENLARGES AROUND HIM MORE

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Religion ravages rationally
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly,
Peace pacifies profusely.

Spirits stay with you
Spirits keep us moving
But mine don't
Mine runs in the wind.

Shadows are the time of sun
Shadows shows in darkness
But mine don't
Mine hustles into the pitch white.

Minds keeps you on track
Minds knows what you do
But mine don't
Mine twists everything I know.

I have lost my spirit.
I have lost my shadow.
I have lost my mind.
I have A heart though....

The Whirling wind makes me cold
I seek a shelter to make me warm
The hustles strain my spirit
I long for spry sayings to soothe me up
They said I was a man
Men don’t cry
Men must not cringe
Thinking of one to tell 
How the cold engulfs and
How my body bends beneath its bounds
I wished a voice cheered me up
I crave an ear to pour in my aches
I yearn a heart to seek my care
Miss you…...

Sad story stains
Spread sensuous strain


Nude naughty name
Burdens brisk blame


Such squeaky sounds
Proud pleasure pounds


Glimpse grumpy gain
Pride plunders pain


Leeching last light
Niche nasty night


Rich rapture ripe
Proud pleasures pipe


Such sad surprise
Pain pickles prize


Huge hate hustles
Big blaze bustles


End echoes etch
Sticky smudge sketch

The curfew city rustles
People begin their hustles
Transport and markets bustle, noisily
The curfew has served its purpose,obviously

We get it more clearly now
From ourselves we knew not, to protect us, how
Enter the consummate politician
He protects business interests, not the Physician

He spews numbers daily bigger
Wields authority, we figure
Advises that we borrow heavily, to save us
We get broker, as we fall under the debt bus...

I am an island
Isolated by My self
Surrounded by no one.
I have no means of help
I am a small island
a very small,but strong island.
I’ve been ran over by many waves
Waves that have tried to destroy my defenses,
But yet they made me stronger.
I am an island 
In the midst of an ocean of predators.
I am an island 
all by my self
yet still i rise, 
from all my hustles and struggles
i am an island
stand strong with a flag carrying my name...

Love lusts,
Hate hurts,
God goads,
Devil dares,
Death dumps, 
Life longs,
Hope holds,
Soul survives,
Faith fools,
Religion rants,
Priest panders,
Politics preys,
Public pays,
knowledge knows,
Wisdom wins,
Science sums,
Time tempers,
Patience prevails,
Marriage mars,
Wife whines,
Husband hustles,
Sex sells,
Cash corrupts,
War wrecks,
Peace pleases,
Work works,
Rest rusts,
Spring soothes,
Monsoon moans,
Summer sizzles,
Autumn ails,
Winter woes,
Nature nurtures!...

She gets out there and hustles
She does her very best
It’s all about the teamwork
And winning is her quest

Pretty as a picture
She could be most anything
But for now she’s chosen soccer
And working hard for her team 

Pony-tail is flying
The ball is flying too
She’s got those rules down good
And she knows just what to do

So come on folks and watch the game
If you want to see the best
A girl who could be a beauty queen
But soccer is her quest!...

Underground to breadth it’s hard
On the ground to stay alive one hustles
The darker the days ,the fewer the friends they say.
Empty vessels we are, noises of negativity we spread,
As we go around hating and hurting .
Emotions as hearts break ,
To trust we find hardships
But without love alone we feel
Wallowing in self pity we are,
Wishing to just be swallowed up by the earth
As now hollow we have become;
The hopeless we are termed
But to keep going -  where does one find HOPE?...
