Short Ramifications Poems

Listen to poem:

meltwater
exhaled breath
warm remnant of kiss
inescapable consequences
ramifications off-ramp.

despite en garde, parry loop,
deflect dodge defy deny and cry;
relent now, 
imbibe and savor the afterglow....

I'm different, in
private dreams, where there are no
ramifications.

I'm more - adult? I
handle things decisively
- no second guessing.

And I KNOW what I
want - is that because it's all
erased on waking?

Do we practice life,
in our restless dreams - trying
on other selves?...

What you fail to realize is 
          Every shade of light from night to day cast a shadow in some way. 
                  A ripple effect of what has taken place. 
Stay true, for only one holds eternal grace.  everything will be brought into sight 
            Consequence and ramifications brought to light....

mediocre 
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 
the future 
ramifications 
of my actions 
at the time
if i had i would 
have not made 
may unwarranted 
decisions...

Whimsical wonderings worth writing where we
               
          Often offer our ownership of ornate oratory obligations

     Realizing ramifications; radiant ramblings really require responsibility

         Decent dialogue diplomatically dissuades division's devastation

               Standing strong, subduing slander, speaking sensibly...

Ramparts adorn the castle walls
Amidst them slotted turrets
Making for a grim façade
Inside a moat that repelled many
Fortress of all it guards
In its depths a dungeon
Captives were placed there
A home to torture chambers
The stains of blood darkly visible
Inferno pit in the centre
Over which people were hung alive
No mercy given here to foes
Screams heard for miles around...

When sweet pleasure turns to pain
And desires turn to nightmares
When every single piece of me
Wants to be free from care
How often do you realise
That something that you wanted yesterday 
Is not what you need today?
I've felt the quagmire of emotions
I've dealt with the ramifications of my fantasies
Now all I want is to be exonerated from this situation 
Is it too much that I ask for?...

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.

water flowing
i move not
unfortunate that i will have to leave quickly
i think about all that are no longer here
the water's sound eases my mind like it knows
i move not
unfortunate that life and time waits for nobody's nothin'
i think about being late
i think about not showing up
i think about those ugly ole ramifications
water flowing
humbled, i move now
i reluctantly get in my temperamentally mental car and hesitatingly depart...

An ounce of love intensified into a cup of memories
those memories over filled the rim and spilled into a bowl of appreciation
a plate will be needed to hold all of the ramifications that accrued. 

This full plate needs to be reverted back to its giver.
Giving back appreciation for those memories one has been fulfilled with.
An ounce of gratefulness will spread the table cloth for
a meal of thankfulness that all have been blessed with...

in this circle it never ends
from womb to birth
child to wife

no signs to show us the way
we learn from withen
born a creation

masterplan is in effect
daring us to learn
in retrospect we adjust

high on demand
our lives are molded
direction is at discretion

adversaties are included
ramifications are forgotten
experiences come and go

love hurts us all
relationships do fail
lessons self taught

we sleep we wake
we dream we forget
we live we die...

Dear Mrs butterfly I ask that you remain perfectly still 
‘For if your wings quiver for the slightest of  moment’s  ‘
then that action could kill .

I’ll bring you nectar and keep you warm and safe 
‘ but for the sake of us all remain static in that place .

Oh beautiful lady pray don’t flap your wing 
‘because of the unthinkable ramifications that it could possibly bring.

Stay where you are and please never forget ‘
That the world apparently balances on your fluttering effect ,XX...
