embarrassment
delivered on the wings 
of indiscretion...

Upon each shy cheek
A smudge of red rose petal...
An indiscretion?...

One wild happy-go-lucky senryu
Was caught impersonating a haiku
They levied no fines
But removed two lines
Now she's a stick-in-the-mud monoku...

A propensity for indiscretion
       wedded to transgression
       may lead to intercession --

         potential suppression
         ~ teen rites of expression...

Impression of Indiscretion

Was I getting wrong impression
Or was it really indiscretion
H had accomplished in the end
Maybe to jail they will send
In a state of deep depression.

A single shot while hunting ruffed grouse soaked my socks a deep sanguine against the snow.
A kiss to your broken lips glossed over the fine-looking lies we let slip onto the story of your indiscretion....

Wandering eyes,how could this be?For me to see you but,you do not see me.Dabble in
indiscretion.Your every word,am I to question?Am I your fate?I can no longer
wait.Wandering eyes,please give me no more lies....

My web’s a lonely place to be
For no one likes to visit me

No one who comes here wants to stay
Yet neither will they go away

I really can’t imagine why
A friend (for life) will pass me by

Unless, of course, it’s indiscreet
That everyone I meet … I eat...

You're married man, 
But you don't care. 

It's not the
Woman or the 
Mermaids that are
Your Romance. 

It's dark alleys
and indiscretion
that make you 
Orgasm. 

It sickens me, 
though we are 
the same,
Except you 
Fail to Admit
Who you are. 

And your wiriness
Doesn't become
a Married Man. 

And death we 
Do not part....

Grandma Joyce
Is slingin on a Monday
Hangin with the boys
The brews and the indiscretion
Of indie screech
Its what she knows
Its what defines her
Semblance of maturity
As tavern talk ripples
With her grounded sense
Of grand illusions
And a single Yuengling
Cuz Grandma Joyce
Needs to wet her whistle
Even more than you.

Soft sibilance departed a while past now;
lost in family, familiarity,
an indiscretion.

Soulless silence interposes churlish crows.
The weightiness of strangled screams hangs heavy
deafening the two.

Whisper; wounded, slain.

Discordant scissors cuts a ribbon
Pleasure of a man destroys
Nature bows to indiscretion
Reality deceit deploys

With glee, they break the ground
To set an edifice to man’s ambition
Forever ruined with proposition 
Field and flowers sacrificed

Breached to bent insanity
Evolves a place profaned
Glowering graceless vanity
Imprisons the insane...

Food For Thought
Written: by Tom Wright
3/19/2008

When you must think of some past indiscretion,
which we are all prone to do.
Remember, yours was no worse than others,
in God’s eyes, just different.
We were all placed adrift in life in the same canoe,
and God does not judge sin in varying degrees; this is man’s forte.
By God’s design, the only perfect person,
died on the cross.

Dangling; from the ledge of impervious fate
Blindfolded; step beyond the intangible gate
Blunders; veer around deceptive curves
Pull up those bootstraps; then tighten those spurs
Rely on the inevitable; oh, fools beware
Oversights and cover ups; but who will care
You thought you'd taken all your hits 
Indiscretion; missed purpose just by an inch 
And the cliffhanger still awaits

Robert Hooke caused quite a commotion
In the academic ocean
When in spite of his Gown 
With a lady of the Town 
He enjoyed simple harmonic motion

Not before had he seemed so spry
That nobody could deny
He’d a verve and a pep
And a spring in his step
As he walked along the High

Thus out of his indiscretion
That made such a lasting impression
He cognised and saw
There must be a law
Of extension and compression...

It's too late, she's gone
She packed her love and left me
Alone with just her tears
To punctuate the hurt

Sacred vows were shattered
A trusting heart betrayed
 Remnants of my promises
Torn, discarded

Silence magnifies my pain
Deceit my one companion
Mocked by my indiscretion
Immersed in despair

It's too late, she's gone
She packed her love and left me
And my only treasures are
The fortunes of a fool

She sees herself obsessed 
with perfection, utterly lost 
without positive direction; 
confounded by the thought 
of indiscretion, she needs 
some space, some time, 
some introspection. 

Confounded, self defense 
Becomes digression, 
not knowing if she's penned 
the right correction; her mentor 
had the nerve to take vacation 
and left her in a mess 
of speculation. 

His Monday morning dose 
Of adoration, has been put 
On hold....

One tear breaks the dam,
And out flows a river of sorrow.
One smile makes a connection,
And a life-long friendship is born.
One second of indiscretion,
And something precious is stolen.
One look that two strangers share,
And love begins to bloom.
One laugh shared among family,
And memories are made.
One moment of inattention,
And so many lives are shattered.
One person speaks up,
And the whole world changes.
One: it's not just the loneliest number....

Running inbetween
Broken yous
And bronken mes
I'm trying to pretend
That we are none of 
These

We are the new
The abused
The hidden
The viewed

Lapping up on
Precieved faces
And precieved cases
I'm trying to pretend
That we are more than
These

We are the old
The sold
The found
The bound

Stopping in 
Lost yous
And lost mes
I'm trying to know
That we are any of
These

We are the known
The stoned
The able
The labeled...

Mysteriously you came,
So alone, so wanting love,
Yet too frightened to accept it.

Once you let us take you in,
You became our companion, 
Our lover.
Constantly with us,
Healing the breach an indiscretion had forged.

Years of happiness we shared,
Before evil struck you.
So wanting to remain,
You struggled to cling to life.

One day you cuddled close,
Fell asleep in my arms,
Never again to awaken.

Now my beloved also sleeps,
Dream together my dear ones....

Eject ~ The tithe be bound
to fanciful persuasion in resound
I hail or hate the cost, despite the pound
and seemingly ascension is still ground!

It is the faded glory of rebound
unnecessary casting, waging's crowned,
the monarchies direction still compounds
no force, this indiscretion turned around!

The gory resolution, not new found
and I in revolution, playbacks frowned
eject this erstwhile treason . . all abound ~
and register my reason . . . freedom's town!...
