Wet nose on a frosty pane
Quarry lost in sagebrush...

One rock cast from the quarry
  of the great unknown

Freedom just another way,
 —of being alone

A hunter
not skinner  
with quarry
so vast 
Whose path
through the forest
is first
—never last

There once was a girl named Laurie
Who soon became a love quarry
But with not enough time
To ring her sweet chime
She wanted to live out a story...

The distance between us has become like the arrow of great speed
Soaring far away
With your heart mounted
Having no mercy unto the quarry for which it is aimed...

Everyday I shovel and rid some rocks
my super looks say this is a crock
he bats at my shovel
again I'm in trouble
thinks I'm stealing poop from his litter box.

lanterns signal midnight hour

great northern icon.

There's an amazing megalithic quarry in Baalbek
A !600 ton stone block was placed, what the heck
How was this possible
Moving it wasn't plausible
The mind boggles, I need to pause for a sec...

"Many passengers will aboard your bus, but only the truthful will stay".

Wolves disguised as humble sheeps
Try to devorate the innocent prey
Starting the merciless hunting 
Winning with alertness the quarry...

I want to cry sometimes 
Too afraid that I will lose my breath
Tackle a wall hard
It’s shrapnel beating against my chest
I want to scream yet it could possibly wake a beast
I don’t wish to hurt anymore
I just wish to be a better me....

Sparkle penny
Thought you were a dime
Broken hour glass
Running out of time
~
Deep dark wood
Madan Rocky Mountains
Quarry stones granite broken rolling down the mountains roll

Lots of rocks in the black
      pock-marked yonder-
            in the star quarry,
lots.
Dead moonlight in my hand
                cools and shrinks.
Unseen,
                mind-dust kindles
in the charred sky fields.

A pebble needs throwing....

As the world rises and falls
You were the hound
now you're the quarry
Ending games
always changes the colour of your eyes

Now you carry the World on your shoulders
Once you were free
but the onus is rebound
You've paid for your opinions
quelle surprise...

You are my obsidian dream and I will quarry your love
In the Temples of Oblivion, reveal your secrets to me!
Let us strike a mortal bargain to smite the dull frame of night.

Words
By: Tom Wright
2000

Man's back was never intended to be a target,
nor he a quarry, to be felled by thoughtless or vengeful words.
Words, that perhaps, should have been terminated
somewhere during the thought process's journey from Heart to Tongue. *

Matthew 12 : 34 *...

Does your writing have a time stamp,
or an expiration date

Does it spoil in the open air,
does it falter at the gate

Will children still remember,
when they have grandchildren of their own

That what’s written once and meant to last
—those words made out of stone

(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)...

An egg’s hatched.
The eagle swoops in search,
For quarry to carry in its pick.

The shell cracks; emerges outwards slowly the chicks.
They shuffle tenderly with cautious steps and flicks.
The eagle smiles post a quick survey.

Finds one shell for both prey;
Flies away.

Predatory lions,
    Prowl through the savanna,
    Patiently hunting prey.
    Powerful carnivores,
    Pursuing their quarry.
    Pandemoniums cull
    Plays out, until they kill.

He thundered the ivory
Defacing the melody
Lost deep within himself
He focused upon exacting
Icy surgical anguish
His digits stressing past
Mutilated bodies
Of tortured quarry
As silence fell
He inhaled his victory
Jubilant in his bloodbath
Those gathered celebrated
Calling for revelry
Praising the executioner...

To Quarry 
   
  In a field lion, doesn't learn 
  silence of storm,hunger of steps 


  In a sea whale doesn't know 
  silence of tides, thirst of water 

  In a dark  Beast doesn't speak
  Silence of Night, pattern of Dark 

  In writing I have lust of an Ant
  
 To Quarry

 With love all
