as vast and deep as the sea
and returned tenfold...

what we give returns tenfold
from the hearts we hold
blues will come and go...

Become the one above all,
Only the heart knows,
Magnifying her tenfold,
Her every whisper and move...

that the sweetest
memories
hurt tenfold more
than those most bitter
buried deep
in this aching
heart of woe....

I looked into his eyes.
I only felt despise.
 
Anger overwhelmed me.
Detest grew bitter cold.
Hate multiplied tenfold.
 
Then I realized I was looking in the mirror......

If there is love
lend me a drop
and allow it to explode
into this Ocean within...
or
Spare me an Ocean of love 
Where I can drown and be myself no more...
...and I'll return it to you tenfold...

Precipitation, a drop of gold
Water pours down, almost tenfold
Standing in silence at hallows keep
Scarce crowds gather where families sleep
The silent reckoning of murdered smiles
As brave men lay, spread for miles...

                                     Three witches stirring caldron

She brings to my desire her perfect infallible feet
I try to tickle her funny bone by rubbing her feet softly
All that succeeds is her passion for me increases tenfold

The Gospel on Gossip
Written: by Tom Wright
5/14/2016

A whisper of gossip, when allowed, will grow,
And though oft repeated doesn’t make it so.
Nevertheless at its end it has grown tenfold,
Because man’s tongue couldn’t be controlled;

A legend shall be written by this sword of gold
when victory is won against the forces of dark
as the power of light increases by tenfold
and charging into evil castles, causing blades to spark
cutting down the wicked, and raising the angel flag to make a peaceful mark...

Love that comes from within
Should be pure, without sin
I'm still patiently waiting 
For heartfelt loving
I know it's out there
Someplace, but where?

Always ever searching
For a new beginning
Maybe, before I'm too old
Love will come to me tenfold
It should be given freely
So I can feel it deeply...

Sunflowers in their glory are a happy sight to behold.
When planted they provide joy tenfold.
Sunflowers have wondrous magic powers,
You will instantly smile looking at this flower.

Their giant sun-kissed blossoms head for the sky.
Tall and majestic, they are a feast for the eyes.
I wish God would let sunflowers grow year round,
A lovelier sight cannot be found!...

Elements once lost
Complete this painted picture
Tenfold in intensity
Compared to what I once knew
Let me feel the release
Bring me out of my solitude
But I dare not wake the beast
Valiant and hungry in nature
Its ability to destroy
Overpowers its ability to heal
Thus I remain broken
And yet comforted by rightous compassion
For the strength of this warrior
Doth not rival the fight...

Can a question be a question if there is no answer?

The question I speak of is a beautiful girl
One who hold qualities of mine tenfold! 
Her skills are divine for the words are untold
She is the question- the die, cast, and mold
of the virtue of countenance her eyes alone
could stop the room from spinning, Ay No!
The thought of the question hurts my brain
The answer to this question is surely insane...

She holds me so close
I can feel her heart beating
Every breath is ours
For we share our lives as one
We are complete, unified

Labor is lessened
By sharing our great burdens 
Our love has increased
By a whole many tenfold
Our lives have grown very close

Let go of all you love and learn to accept that all will be lost in time.
Receive whatever kindness is lucky enough to come your way;
Pay it back tenfold.
Don't fear eternal damnation,
Nor accept the mortality we live that is sewn with the ambiguity of our masters.
When you find purity and innocence do all you can to defend it.
Stand by with a smile and watch this world tear itself apart.
Time shall equalize us all....

 Burning light
In night;
Calls moths
To cloths.

Moon glows
Moth woes;
Bugs alight
With delight.

Bugs fly
Light shine;
In dark
Pine park.

Creek rolls
Water flows;
Dragonflies
Wing by.

Night life
No strife;
Bugs grow
Tenfold.

Daylight
No flight;
Right bugs
Grass rug.

Daylight
Colors fly;
Palette
Colors bright.

Nature
Has cure;
Boredom
For some.

Others love
The bugs;
For them
It’s enough.

I clasp my hands upon the cheeks of a sinful man's cheeks defenestrate him as he flies in the sky away from the house he was cast out of only for me to feel dysentery my belly opens up.  From the protruding from my belly, a tumor with an almost human face vomiting serpents coalesced with the head of iguanas and connected to my tumor. The man whom I threw came back tenfold a battle ending with one kingdom standing to bare witness to something older coming for us all....

Lost
A tenfold time of parallel paths
With untold dreams of joining
Were lost until a fateful kiss
Which should have come in morning

That kiss sparked the chance
Of promised hearts on fire
Consuming pledges in the way
To Love’s long lost desire

Hastened words and emptied hearts
Bespoke too much, too soon
Ending what might have been
Had time not played our tune

So we are two
Never to be one
But let's rejoice in what we are
And things we might have done

Are we sacred souls
who shed our flimsy flesh
like slimy serpents
shed their skin?
Be observant,
but show no chagrin,
for in learning life’s lessons
we lessen our scars in the next.
It’s the game master’s pretext,
yet a disaster for those
who guard their granite heart
as if, by giving love away,
they might have less.
Perhaps it is best,
to toss love about in tenfold,
for souls only glimmer,
when they reflect light.
But it is dark inside now.
So…alas … 
Goodnight....
