It’s quickly given,
but seldom do I pay heed.
to other’s advice.

I am crying, nobody to pay heed
Behold my heart is now broken 
See; blood flowing like river
Unable to escape pain
I am deep in sorrow
I'm shivering
I'm kaput.

a summer evening

we turn off all the house lights

pay heed to the rain

The light	
A silent yet vibrant call
As if a shout from the east
Upon the wake of the day
The round surfacing presence
Calls upon us all
To stop, take notice
Pay heed
As we rub our eyes
And stretch to
The welcoming sky...

Flower of my youth
Take advice
I won’t cry for you
die for you
I won’t wait for you
lie for you

Flame of my sea
Pay heed
I must set sail
at the crossroad
I have to give
two eggs & calico

Flesh of my desire
Give leave
When I go
one of these days
I am not
coming back...

In twilight slumber
Naked truths revealed
What you learn of you
Flows across the screen
Dreamer must pay heed.

Life’s message comes
Symbolic cloaked
Characters pose
The way unfolds.

Dreamscape brings
Future scenes
Prophecy

Be brave
Look close

Know....

A vicar when teaching his flock
Would never pay heed to the clock
Until his lost sinners
Arrived with their dinners
Which finally made him take stock!

Be careful on the road, don’t rush in speed!
In any case, the speed limit, you shouldn't exceed
With caution, at every bend, you proceed
To all traffic rules and guidelines, pay heed.
Know well to what misery, reckless driving can lead
Let your conscience never reproach you on a rash deed.

Some don't give a damn about Global Warming;
Look with all six senses of the inner primate;
All the while man's theories swarming,
See the ruin and waste of Earth's doomed fate.

Stop monkeying around, troop verse troop;
Bumbling bees searching for distinction.
Find like ground, ending this loop to loop.
Most would pay heed to Human Extinction....

A tiny tweak, 
a twist, a touch
to fit the time
or suit the deed

A harmless word, 
a phrase or two
left in, or out
as fits the need

A softened blow,
or feelings spared
intentions but
to lure or lead

A sweetened tone,
embellished thoughts
a means, an end
for pride or greed

A price is paid,
when lies are told
the cost is trust
to this, pay heed...

A young lad may fear
   the coming years
How will he make a living

His elders might
   impart this advice
Increase your charitable giving

A young lass may despair
   that Cupid cares
to target her betrothed

Her elders might 
   impart this advice
Feed the hungry, the naked clothe

Just busy yourself with good deeds
   God, and matchmakers, will pay heed...

What do we need to be free
God alone lets us see
Just why would anyone lie
That would be beyond me
Sadly men like Trump try

What do we need to be free
There is  much to study
If you fail to pay heed
And end up all at sea
Then you're a broken reed

What do we need to be free
The good book makes us see
Its stories raise us up 
Though many from it flee
While full will be our cup

Decisions
Are Often
Choose Wrong, Suffer Long
Written: by Tom Wright
7-16-2016

No decisions that we’ve ever made.
Have come without attached cost;
Whether right minded or abrade,
Their ramifications are seldom lost.

We do our best when reaching choices,
And oft times sing another sad song.
Occasionally we pay heed to other voices,
And in choosing wrong we suffer long.
