Love In Ten Year Increments
New fling
Lust clings
He shaves
She raves
He aches
She fakes
He veers
She sneers
He winks
She shrinks...

Sometimes Stilled
increments of time
lorn on fate's hands
lie motionless
as if frozen
like one drop
of winter's rain
on the edge
of an icicle
restrained...

Physiology
Relational,
Situational.
Rate aware,
Said affair.
Increments,
Detriments.
Free choice,
My voice.
At the gym,
Inside vim.
Sim ready.
Foot steady....

Too Hard To Do
It is here I would finish
that thought I had before
and giggle with foolishness
and waste my time in
careless increments
before the sun comes
and I wish I’d never done
it
before this stupid unrhyme
I can’t finish....

Inchworm
Inchworm
Inchworm as you measure
In increments by inch,
Interfacing hemlines,
Implies...new clothes...a cinch!
Impulse begs excitement,
Imagining this gift
Imparting...inch by inch!

Plastic Flowers
Plastic flowers
upon the grave
once bright
now faded....
How do you live?
In the small increments
of the present?
Looking ahead ~
Ignoring today?
Retrospective ~
and with regrets
Wishing that
the flowers
left behind were real.

Today
26th of September,
the morning woken, broken
by the past,
has passed,
the future comes
in
small
increments,
unspoken,
I change in silence, chrysalis,
butterfly emerging from hallucinations of guilt,
Solaris,
one step closer
to total bliss....

Increments
Step by step we walked
Closer side by side;
Bit by bit we talked,
Hearts we opened wide.
Day by day we grew
Nearer face to face;
Piece by piece each clue
Fell into it's place.
Star by star aflame
Shone for us above;
Little by little became
A galaxy of love....

Rich Thoughts, Poor Habits
With no riches to afford happiness, I dwell in poverty
With no payment in sight, I shut my eyes to a world I do not know
Coins jingle as they search for a way of escape from my entrapment
The increments are present, yet I have no sense
With dreams of spending, blindsided by the reality of begging...

Chrysalis
Able to take change
in smaller increments …
the total overwhelms
The pieces digested
in tiny fragments
absconding from the realm
— Breaking it down —
taming the maelstrom
hail turns into rain
The whole reemerging
inside my becoming
transforming me again
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)

Rich Thoughts, Poor Habits
With no riches to afford happiness, I dwell in poverty and pain
With no payment in sight, I shut my eyes to a world I do not know
Coins jingle as they search for a way of escape from my entrapment
The increments are present, yet I have no sense
With dreams of spending blindsided by the reality of begging...

Pssst Got a Minute
Pssst Got a Minute?
By: Tom Wright
9/21/01
So inconsequential, our minutes may seem,
They're given to idleness, and oft to daydream.
Rarely do we consider, that increments in time,
When linked with others, make a life sublime.
So allocate time wisely, giving to God each day,
For time is too precious, to let slip away.

Doses of Nirvana
If nirvana is a void of emptiness
Then I am experiencing nirvana
In increments
The stillness in my thoughts
Lingers within my daydreams
I can taste the bitterness of anxiety
So I breathe in
My chest expands
And now I am full
I am complete
I am at peace
I exhale
To unfold The world around me
within the million stories I tell...

Strung
In increments of times unsung,
pure truth belittling, or restrung,
I string my passive rights, succumb
before my eyes - thus wanting's strum -
Is justice - and the world's dull hum
is sleeping, like a broken drum.
There in my heart - still beats upcome,
thee mine - thee mine, thee - loving's one -
My only constant - strung, not strung
but lifted by God's willing rung....

Life Can Be Kind
Life can be kind
When you learn to confide
Liberate your stress
Don't avoid but address
Your issues at hand
Which may not be so grand
Once you tell a good heart
So you don't fall apart
Treasure the days when you feel most alive
Savour the moments you finally thrive
In increments we change
And expand our own range
Not built in a day
More complex than clay
Born from months of gestation
To live contemplation....

Its Strange How a Loved Ones Footsteps
Its strange how a loved ones footsteps
are so recognisable
even in the sleeping hours
of the crust on blur
A midnight sigh to tempt
or in sadness recognise its merit
Deltas are finite increments
That course within this form
from thistle to thorn
vessel carries the forlorn
Adorn her with the universe
that exist simply just to frame
To know beauties true name
My slow clap to the sunset
That never sees her face...

Investor's Edgy Feeling
INVESTOR’S EDGY FEELING
Numbers sticking in the investor’s mind
Always counting increments
Projecting
For a bountiful return!
But,
She knew, she is
Counting chicks in un-hatched eggs
Uncertain how many of these eggs
Crack out winners from their shells!
Fatalistic she can’t be
There is no place for pessimism
She bribes her intellect with optimism
Winning numbers glued in her mind!...

Grail
In increments, reflection's waif
some sedentary lifting of restraint
is sameness from a will of dullness' taint
and compromised by feeling, urging's faint.
While courage in resistance pools intent
to greatness in truth's beauty, not event.
And gearing for concern, comes slow but meant
as when discernment's Grail is God's extent.
With thee, this cup of life, man calls content
is empty ~ less thy nearness fills this vent!...

Birth Is a Doorway
We enter and exit
through the vision –
what we see, and
what we deny; never
knowing what is there;
nearsighted and a-far –
born unclear, our focus
a gradual ascent – eyes, not
a victory, but what they show
us of the world outside, unseen;
birth is a doorway ajar – the
vehicle, and not the journey;
the thrust, but not the fuel;
born to die so that we may
live...passing through and
beyond in recyclable
increments.......

Time Away
I am told that Time
are increments...the
happy man counts
his by kisses – a family
hour, a dream for the
thrifty~ wise, a short REM
seeming somehow linked
to greater eternity –
I am told that Time
is precious – or burden
to those without Power,
to those hungry –
alone as empty and sad
Time with God I've never
found wasted...
Though I've managed
good use of all these
Time away from you
has always been, pure hell.......

The Second Cast Down
Oh to wear the crown
Asking God to fight
Death and fate strangled
at my arms end
Ripping angels with my teeth
Race to unseat beast
Fold reality until it disappeared
Squirting words
upon the page
in my raUNSETTLEDge
Depressed into my form
Squint in increments
scream reams of ams to scare
splatter matter like it mattered
unstop and able
causing rain with dribble
clench my fist and grin
as the empty i step in...

If Not Now
Garlands draped and strung.
White creeper blossoms
reminiscent of snow
penta-hedron, vase shaped,
single bells. Five sepal-ed,
finial, fillistered,
flower bowls.
Such delicate geometry
predestined from a seed
Destiny, fate and duty
will always mock one another.
Power struggles between courage
and cowardice, rest in the lap of higher powers.
Increments, irrelevant to atoms.
All that will unfold
is manifest in flowers.

To Sleep Perchance Unseen
magic mage
in tragic rage
calling time
in falling rhyme
hat atilt his cane a wand
limping lilt and pain a bond
His soul is tied to earthly needs
he falls in rhythmic rhyme to knees
feels frustration's pull and twist
finds no reason to resist
tears fall blind as hands unfist
in such surrender life is missed
precious moments measure life
increments of joy and strife
some cause pain and some delight
some are taken into night
like teddy bears to hold on tight...
