The world is a play,
Man adlibs improvised lines
Unrehearsed all th’way,
Tragedy, farce? No clear signs,
He plays for applause, but pines.

All life is a poem,
  new stanza each day

The questions unreasoned,
  leaves fall where they may

My story in long hand,
  the seasons in verse

Discovery my Muse,
 —with soul unrehearsed

Dance unrehearsed, keep spirits high
Thoughts but bind and confine 
Plunge into the void, wingless fly
With call of love align

To feel complete and whole 
Let’s connect with our soul
And fulfill our life role

To quench heart’s thirst
Dance unrehearsed...

Why trauma bond with sunken souls
Wish them love and move on
Fiendish are ways of lowly ghouls
Why be object of scorn

We must love ourselves first
In freedom, unrehearsed 
Joyous, in a bliss burst

Frog in a pond
Why trauma bond

A second time better than the first,
A true drama that was unrehearsed,
Skin caressing fingers of moonlight,
Of the deepest, black satin nights!

Colorful blooms became just memory,
Of golden noontide's silken glory,
Two hearts became forever entwined,
While leaving all the past behind!...

First things first, feel bliss bubbles burst
It’s a love burn benign
Embrace life fully, unrehearsed 
With love and light, align

In staid meditation 
One with all creation
Imbibe God’s vibration 

End soul’s thirst
First things first

Please please PLEASE
Say you recognize ME - 
My face, my name;
Please say you know me today.
Say you know me, so we can converse,
A normal chat, words unrehearsed.
No more who are you’s, or who am I’s,
No more confusion when I stop by
I miss you mom and you’d miss me too,
If just once, you only knew…...

Feel heart expand, in a bliss burst
As pheromones mingle 
The dance divine is unrehearsed 
Just follow the jingle 

Delighting in love’s tease
Nodes within form unfreeze
As bliss wafts through the breeze

In heaven, land
Feel heart expand

There is this thirst, through night and day
We wish to feel complete
Our heart expanding whilst in play
With bliss rapture replete

Delight beyond measure
A joy that we treasure
Erasing fear fissure

Love unrehearsed 
There is this thirst

our silent euphoric screams
of pure ecstatic delight
involuntarily streams
each day & night

bliss magnetism heightens
vivifying all nodes within
auric field brightens
in divine radiation 

eyes clenched and lips pursed
we spasmodically shudder
dance unrehearsed
rapturous wonder

Thought bubble burst, now unrehearsed
Abide in tranquil calm
Surrender quenches our heart’s thirst
Love is the healing balm

Ego dies, bliss throbs rise
No one’s here to apprise
Divine graced joy surprise

Do first things first
Thought bubble burst

Behind enemy lines, we walk
Fears and desires spiral
Ego stalks but we do not balk
As love throbs go viral

Bliss fulfils our heart’s thirst
Fear fraught thought bubbles burst
Divine dance unrehearsed

Hark! Love for love so pines
Behind enemy lines

Poetry is more than words,
  some is written—some is heard

Often long—yet sometimes short,
  its power shared in strong retort

 Questions cry—demanding verse,
 with feelings new, still unrehearsed

Its focus like a laser aims,
  at souls that search—time and again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)...

Most treasured moments are never planned

Like poetry, they often spring alive,

unrehearsed, and with surprise….

They often pop up here and there

like little gifts, without fanfare

worlds collide
as whirlwinds
twirling churn 
in their incessant dance
galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow
meandering
gliding sliding 
on their elliptical courses
travel in stride
skating graceful

Gratitude
Thoughts of: Miracle Man
August 12, 2021

Sometimes, environment brings out our worst,
and attitudes can cause our day to stink.
Often, brought on by something unrehearsed,
but gratitude transforms our day to pink.


“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it
is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
William Arthur Ward

I watch at the last minute
a solitary petal falling
from the cracked bough
through thin glass of my window--
it rustles and  soars way high
along a grappled wind, 
sailng over the  chilly vale .
It aligns with a hundred other petals,
all  together waltzing in space.
Watching their unrehearsed dance
in glorious animation, a tear of awe
smudges my eyes.

Is it a crime
To pry apart rhyme
Stitch lines, unhitched
From native consequence

To warily marry
Unmetered time
By forced remorse
Unrehearsed
In patchwork verse

In my malaise
My daydreams ablaze
I long for eloquence...

     to drip, untripped

From my lips


The devil rides
my prideful hide
Chastise with whip and spur
Damning the span 
Between who I am
And who I wish I were.

Hindsight
Written: by Tom Wright
11-9-2016

We all look hinder but what’s the point,
For what we discover remains the same.
We resurrect memories that oft disappoint,
We unearth faces but can’t place a name.

But reliving bygone days one never resists, 
They’re a journal of days once traversed.
Life’s road is often filled with unseen twists,
And we face each challenge unrehearsed.
