We all get bruised at times in our lives,
People use us all in some way,
Acquaintances, Husbands and Wives.
Unwittingly we all do it too,
Yes, even YOU.......

they're
cutting
down the
last big tree
on my street
unwittingly re
leasing a giant
honey bee as the
buzzing of chainsaws
sting         my          ears...

Sured my inclination
To goad trapper's ware
For I seek to be strung
By the trap that ensnares
If only to acquaint 
With a pardoner's air
Thee whom unwittingly
Summoned my dare...

I unintentionally
always
seemed to 
make the 
mistake 
of unwittingly
inadvertently 
believing in 
the possibility 
of a brighter 
tomorrow 
one in which
reconciliation 
is the out come...

As days wind into moments
sped away too soon -
So memories injunction is a road
so walked upon - but in unfold.

I walk, unwittingly into self-controlled,
and breaking free - remember thee,
the moments we did hold 
released to me again  ...  in truth's extolled!...

Today’s child thinks what they have to say is golden
Interrupting adults is not a big deal
Questioning teachers is their right

Today’s child unwittingly shows us a somber future
Were they raised by wolves?
Or parents who spent their time with them staring at electronics...

Those who find in dismal poetry attraction
Could have within themselves some sadness in protraction
Behind seeming face of placid insulation
May be hidden melancholy well concealed
Many living lives of quiet desperation
That, in response, are unwittingly revealed

Alone she walks,her head held high
To her the crowd is indomitable,
With determination and vigor she smiles unwittingly
Never to anticipate her heart is full of torment
Bruised by the thorns in her life, she obscures her cicatrix
With make up, cloaking her beauty and grandeur ,she walks with her head held high...

Flitting furtively from 
family member to 
family member
like a truly bumbling bee
frantically, frenetically flying 
from flower to flower
frustrated at his failure
to discern the nectar of love
amongst the resentments,
the caretaker drone
strays unwittingly
into the mouth
of the family dog,
saving the others
from themselves...

Ten years of life she unwittingly stole
		from the man who loved her with all his soul.
		To love him that deeply, she so desired.
		Time widened the gulf; he left, for he tired
		of hoping their union would become whole.

On her death bed,

Fatally wounded mother nature, bleeds profusely 

While 

Ignominious Man 

Drives further his dagger of ignorance into the heart of life

Thus

Unwittingly committing at once the most heinous crimes 

Of 

Matricide and suicide 

Under 

The vigilant eyes of a wrathful God!

No sooner our mind accords preference
to an outcome imagined optimal,
fears boomerang, stifling heart’s radiance,
self-blocking onset of God’s miracle,
manifesting fate inhospitable.
Reworded, our power of creation
births consequence as of thought suggestion,
which being rooted in ego craving,
unwittingly chooses agitation,
whilst cessation enables elation.

Just the town children ne'er
feasted a forest of one tree's
in a labyrinth of the uninvited
stirs like cream in cocoa
--rightfully aloof

Their eyes steeped in a delft brew
brimmed by clamourous whispers
of an ephemeral sound alights a tortoise
yet ne'er have tea
--unwittingly

Juxtaposition compares bears none to
contrast, ne'ertheless, true to form,
town children
--they'd be.

My verses smell
 reality when
the truth of life
calls me.

My verses taste  hope,
 which is
my raw material...

my verses unwittingly
don't delight, it's because
I did not have them wet with
enough inspiration...
And not carelessly or
ill will, is that occasionally 
I miss this
supply....

But my verses,
I'm sure has not
lack of joy... I do them
in harmony, with
the hours that mostly
move me...!...

He lures his victim
Into a glass prism
Filled with fake diamonds
That turns to water and ice

The top closed
His fate sealed
To kick and thresh 
To escape his wrath

He appears through the glass
Looking straight into his eyes
The drowning victim 
Unwittingly drawn to him

In his desperation he can’t look away
In his fighting he’s ensuring his stay
His eye sockets frozen still
For him to take his soul...

You can't really understand
Them until you look
 
A spider's web
In-between two railings
Swinging in the wind
It almost looks like
The strands will rip apart
Barely holding on
By either end
It's almost like the web
Isn't even there

You have to look at it
In the right light
With the right angle
But not everybody
Likes spider webs
So that can be a good thing
Unless they run into it
Unwittingly
 
Where's the spider?...

What words, dear God?
For an idiom 
Or an idea
Of all that this means!

If not then, or when
My soul resounds 
At a silent thought
Lights an eternal flame
Recalled at sacred hearths;

Within quiet chambers
Wounds would heal
Once dealt unwittingly
Now in privacy, thoughts
Wrench relentlessly
At souls adrift
Through time and space;

Words cut at passions denied
Allow this one impression
To swathe us
Dear God, what words?...

We study the flowers in the field,
One by one...
Discover their properties and what they yield,
Numbering the petals...
We classify them by leaf, and by their seeds,
We give them names...
Discovering new trees, fungus, and weeds, 
One by one... 
We catalog thousands, living and dead,
Perspective is close... 
Unwittingly lifting a tenacious head, 
we finally see ... the field.

On this blank page where I 
Type down an empty life, 

Thoughts juggle, in and out, 
To and fro, again and 

Again, trying to look 
For ways to muse, but it 

Will be better when there’s 
A paradigm, but there’s

None to be found. Perhaps, 
I just can’t figure it.

Ahh, it will be best that 
...I don’t find it at all.

Or maybe, this blank page 
Is too kind, to me, ‘cos...

Who surely knows what evil I’ll unwittingly expose?...

Procrastination
Thoughts: of Tom Wright
1/18/2019

God makes for us, opportunities,
That we oft don't surmount.
Some are unwittingly swept,
Into our “do later” account.

Though each has good intentions,
Attention isn't Judiciously applied.
So from our “do later” back burner,
Opportunity lingered and died.



Sometimes Opportunity knocks just once;
Has opportunity knocked on your door, and you failed to answer?
Tom
