Separation's glory
And missteps..
And
Seem the reality
With nothing
Projecting..
Characters galore
Not knowing
Their stardom...

A tear
a flood of emotion
a salty cleansing
of mistakes and missteps;
a weeping in anticipation
an ocean tide of mourning
the ebb and flow of living
and dying to existence.

It's like being thrown into a dance,
without even knowing the steps.
It is your one and only chance,
so you curse all of your missteps.
Your heart beats out of your chest.
As your resilience is put to the test.

Thoughts
are bridges...
occasionally fragile,
occasionally
delusional...
Feelings
are vacancies that
the sea of life
lick, later
drains...
And we
missteps,
we were looking for
shelter,
Islands
cuddling...!

go back erase
paths taken in vain
go back wipe slate clean
of mistakes made
go back dissolve
moments of missteps
made that have lead
to this present path
press the delete button
on the past press rebut
on this existence

These Are The Days

Regrets often fester in the background,
missteps and mistakes held in memory
each and everyone
should be let go.
That was then
and can never be changes
and
this is now.

Starburst-pink fingernails
painted for her first dance.
A stomp, a pirouette.
All the missteps of chance
is she, a foolish girl.
Is she a foolish girl?
On this platform of lights
she’s featuring a pose –
turn, turn again, and turn,
turn, turn – a compass rose.

Verse
hit rock bottom
fell into a whole
of one's own making
created from years
of mistakes that
have pilled up
atop one another
creating an emotional
cave in creating a
grand canyon sized
whole to be constructed
within the land of
the past self's missteps

Lyric
BREAKING THROUGH THE HAZE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not the shadow
cast by your missteps,
nor the weight of regret
that clings like morning fog.
You are the sunrise
breaking through the haze,
a warm, positive light
of resiliency and grace.

Memory
becomes the reality
of all that was.
The hardening or softening of the arteries of the heart
that place where love grew or died
in the errors and missteps of our lives.
With sleep,
dreams revive
visions and images form
true false memories
putting everything to right.

Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.
I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;
My unspoiled moments,
The fourth dimension has purloined,
Leaving me to mark time
With no pronounced purpose.

existence
fell into
it without
noticing
it was
happening
fell in a hole
of my own
making
created a dull
future through
past missteps
made
did not
understand

at the time
if i had i would

many things
have became
overlooked over
time
many things
have been
overshadowed
covered with
resentments stain
years of misunderstandings
years of misrepresentation
years of missteps
years of unmended mistakes
have all accumulated
a top one another to
create this valley of
emotional estrangement

Lyric
Clumsy in my missteps
And clumsy with my words
Tripping over my own feet
And now tripping over yours
Clumsy with my quick words
And clumsy in my steps
My venom tongue will sting you
And can take away your breath
Never said I’m graceful
And now you know it’s true
Can I dare forgive myself
This dire crime of wounding you?

Make Past Mistakes A Friend
Written: by Tom Wright
1/7/2013
I’ll fret not o’er those items,
That I’m powerless to amend;
Nor mark I time with those,
That has long laid in retreat.
For my missteps of yesterday,
Can surely become my friend;
With this accumulated knowledge,
I’ll lack a propensity to repeat.

circumstance
led to happenstance
five short years ago
we gave love a chance
to intertwine us
in this intriguing dance
slowly at first, no missteps
nice and easy, not too complex
the tempo changed to a sultry slide
feelings rose that we couldn't hide
passions grew, bodies complied
six years later, four kids sleeping
by our sides

Rhyme
My words the result
of the times I’ve lived
not a classroom exercise
My feelings all paid
with the blood of my fears
not a rambling diatribe
My trail has been lined
with each tear and misstep
to mark the way ahead
My life a memory
telling a tale
—whose direction my soul has led
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)

Thought’s Aroused
Written by: Tom Wright

Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.
I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;
My unspoiled moments,
The fourth dimension, has purloined,
Leaving me to mark time
With no pronounced purpose;

Two of them are for the steering wheel;
To drive unsafely is to be a heel.
One is to make penciled calculations;
To make missteps is to spoil relations.
Two more make amorous advances;
Based on calculations, he has good chances.
One makes careful notes, oh so detailed,
So, one day, his memoirs can be retailed.
Two are needed to solemnly pray
That a baby spider is not on its way.

Missteps, mishaps and mistakes
In a World of tears and fears
A world of half light and shadows
Where night is a fool… days last for years
And the only way out…is the gallows
Terrible are the times in a man’s life
When feelings of kinship
Seem lost in the night
And hatred diminishes the light
…After all It all ends in tears and in sorrow…

Today I climbed to the top of the mountain.
I rested there, and looked out over my life.
I didn’t expect the path to be so hard, I thought
There would be places to rest along the way.
I looked long at my life below…the twists
And turns, the successes, the missteps.
The afternoon filled with “what-ifs”
And old memories…joys and tears.
In time I’ll put my head down and sleep……

lost in a
turbulent fog
tossed like
a tortured log
struggling to tame a tormented mind drowning in a deranged sea
yearning for wholeness stumbling over missteps seeking the answer
disintegrating in solitude walking on a tightrope
striving for sanity & serenity
as the world barrels into
a mighty
maelstrom

Lighting the candle
To step forward with luster
To reduce the darkness
Passing over blindness
Like the night fireflies
Long scouting in the sky
A trip to the moonless land
A queue of blinking light bands
Dim candles glow,
Help prevent missteps,
Guide the way with pep,
To achieve the intended goal.
Helpful candlelight
Since the wick was lit
Flip-flops in the velvet wind
Yet it firmly illuminates within

No rush.
Across the terrain goes the tortoise.
Intently moving toward its destination
Slow but assuredly, it moves without hesitation.
Moving barely, barely moving
But steadfast it remains.
There is no balking as it moves down the line.
Every step taken leaves a lasting imprint.
With each one, purpose shows
No missteps. No rush.
And so goes the tortoise.
No procrastination.
Only wise steps of purpose
