As I reach old age
the greatest lesson I've learned:
to forgive myself
of youthful indiscretions
even if no one else does

Premium Member A Right Heart

A right heart
Will not be found,
laboring on seeming indiscretions of others;
But rather,
on the improprieties
Found lurking closer at hand.

Premium Member Hold That Thought

A writer should never yield
Too readily
To the itch of authorship,
And should hold
In check
The urgent wish,
Desire,
Proclivity
To put on public display
His private pleasures
Or indiscretions.

A Right Heart, By:Tom Wright 2000 A right heart will not be found, laboring on seeming indiscretions of others; But rather, on those improprieties found lurking closer at hand.

Premium Member A Clear Conscience

No skeletons in my closet

No consequences to fear

No need to weep or lose more sleep

For my conscience now is clear

No petty indiscretions

No wasted time, just livin'

No words to say or hell to pay

For all my sins forgiven

Mirror of Secrets

His glass-stained eyes saw things he knew
That framed a past when years withdrew
From indiscretions of a town---
Mirrored in youth’s flashes, rundown
By secrets kept in a house where he loved and grew.

Premium Member Paradise Connections

The pursuit of erotic
exotic climaxing paradise
is not neurotic
about biological perfection

And almost entirely resilient
and resonant impressions
through sensory neurological connections:

Feeling touch
Smelling taste
Sighting sound
******** directions,
cooperative indiscretions.

Premium Member Think On This 2

Think On This 2 Tom Wright 9/3/2010 Life is a marathon & death its finish line. In our youth, we sprint away from youthful indiscretions. But youthful indiscretions, become memories, that are long distance runners. They always seem to be right there at the finish.

The Jester

Fool of jesters
jester of fools
performs for fat
spindly legged kings
who slap their sides
in glee of his merriment
as around the court
he dances in his 
three cornered hat
and turned up shoes
which jingle with
tiny bells as
with gaiety he
plays his mandolin
and sings of
the indiscretions
of lords and ladies..

Premium Member Bad Dog

Hark! Hark! The pesky dog doth bark,

   And deposits indiscretions in the park!

      Perhaps doggie wouldn't be such a klutz,

         If masters would learn to mind their mutts!

Hush

Hush-
Calm your ragged breath my love.
Let not my indiscretions
cause that voice of gold 
  	to know the pain of a wretched sob
Dry your angel eyes
	and cry not for loneliness when I go
T’would break my heart to learn
	that those had shed a tear
Or those lips,
	soft and pale
had known the bitter taste of sorrow on my behalf

It Is Over

I could see the sadness in her eyes
she knew that our life had fallen apart
it was her always telling me those lies
her indiscretions simply pushed me away
through her sobs ~ she's begging me to stay
it is over, "You no longer have my heart,
I truly do not know why you had to stray.
So with nothing left, it's time for our goodbye's."

Premium Member Lies

Darn those sweet little lies
Deceiving duplicitous disguises
Tainting and twisting the truth
Loathsome lessons learned at youth
Casually coloring confessions
Secretly shrouding indiscretions
Desperately dodging discovery
Sometimes slandering skulduggery
Distorting details is dishonest
And should always be admonished


  an original poem by Daniel Turner

Premium Member Discretionary Indiscretions

Discretionary Indiscretions Written: by Tom Wright 11/25/00 Pray tell how can this be; That one might opt to blunder, Electing folly and improprieties, Ultimately casting soul asunder. No matter is the heart's intent, The inevitable results, are one and same. If time in unrepented sin is spent, twill be found rowed neatly neath each name.

No More

No more will I cry
No more will I weep
No more will I worry
Endure nights of no sleep

No more I love you's
No more fat lies
No more pretending
The truth, for once in your life

No more forgive me's 
No more watching pennies
No more indiscretions
And you know there were many

No more last chances
No more goodbyes
No more your wife
A final wave, have a happy life!

Sand and Stone

All my real and exaggerated infractions
Over the years you meticulously engraved in stone
But your moral indiscretions against my soul
I recklessly and occasionally scribbled in the sand
The storms we weathered in our years of marriage
Kept erasing all your faults without a trace
But mine became more distinctly etched with time
Until there was no forgiveness left

Premium Member What Now Knows

Age – and time –
have overcome
my youthful indiscretions
probably….
because ….age and time ….
withered my
indiscriminate behavior
age….allowing knowledge
time….allowing reflection
filtering the rage…of youth
through the scarring….of time
reflecting….
“If I knew then…..what I know now”
snarling
“you know now…. what you know now”
“what is different??”

Entrapped

Alone in a crowd of wishers
Free to slip away
Fl[pant answers tying me in
To never ending questions
horizons remembered keeping me sane
Sunsets of past indiscretions  
How did I ever end up in here 
responding to guided impressions 
What is it they're seeking?
So earnestly lost
Have they no caution to counting the cost
Is peace so unnerving 
They have to move on? 
This is not why I'm here
Consider me gone

Premium Member Dreams

Dreams Written: by Tom Wright January 2015 Many accomplishments in life Start with nothing more than a dream. Our dreams, are seldom taken from us, But, without patience and focus, They’re often abandoned, Where they become like old tires, And worn out couches, Which have found their way Into a ditch to decay. Never abandon your dreams, Because of indiscretions in your past Tom

Premium Member Indiscretions

Indiscretions 1962 T.W. The young man's heart was as a lion, but his stature somewhat slight. At times, settlement unknowingly came, by God's supreme might. Oft times a conflict necessitated, his donning of a brass knuckle. He deemed God's punishment worse, than any rodeo cowboy's buckle. “It isn’t the size of the Dog in the fight, But the size of the fight in the dog.” Mark Twain

Premium Member Remembering Indiscretions

Remembering Indiscretions Miracle Man 2/16/2023 Our minds are complicated things; many things we wish to forget, it remembers, and things we wish to remember are oft forgotten. It is like a computer where all thoughts are stored; those things we can’t remember are not missing, just misfiled, and while God Forgives, The price He exacts for our indiscretions, could perhaps be our memory of the same.

Bird Songs

Beautiful sunrise in the east And a powerful sunset in the west In between nestled a cottage in the forest, and Free things nature has to offer. Yes, bird songs! Quicky and quirky Bird’s tweeting Singing at sight. What a delight! Bird’s language Speak sometimes Of truth amidst Of the many wonders Of life's indiscretions. Oh, how I love These chirpings Accompanying me in my nap In a netted swinging cradle .

Fixed

In faith, I trusted yet in truth, I lied.
In hope I despaired 
For in those I trusted
I sought to find my heart repaired.

Reparation from a failed addiction,
From being a passionate man
And paying full price for my own indiscretions,
For being who I am.

So I seek solace within myself,
These dark and dusty caverns within my mind.
Away from over eager and imaginative lips
For this is my problem and my solution to find.
