Taxidermist
You a ferrous metal and I a magnet
Drawn to you by design,
Yet sin degrades all
With it’s terror and it’s squall.

On my worst days
When I listen to the liar
Saying “It’s okay its natural
Like breathing
Or seething.”

Desires denied
Sorrows...

A Drink To You
In light of good memory of how things were, a woman stands unguarded. 
Pleasantries, talents, and secretive skills.
 I offered to you a drink, allowing you in.
Thinking I had chosen carefully over 37 others. ...

His body cringed and whined in a terrible anguish,
Counted gasps of last breaths foreboding his hopeless waiting,
His master whom he longed to see before his soul will finally be freed,

The world is filled with good people

But sometimes they just lose their way

As newborns, we all start out the same

Premium Member A School Massacre - a Repost
Forgive me but I just don't understand
What drives “people” to enter a school
Massacre forty young people
And burn their female teacher alive
It's beyond my comprehension
How an intelligent caring human being
Can willingly commit this atrocity
There lies the...

Premium Member Too Much Love
(A Note To Myself)

Sounds absurd to a hug famished soul!
But if filling your cup is your goal
And you’d rather not leave it to luck
You might want to just think...

Today
Today was not so bad,
Yesterday, pure horror;
Tomorrow, I cannot predict,
Yet in terror I live;
A touch so much I dread,
For suspicion is my daily bread;
Every word a leery undertone,
Every smile with hidden intent;
That such evil so...

I wake up at 5:30 most mornings
Before the sun has a chance to rise

Premium Member What's the Matter
Have you heard all the science chatter
That the future is not made of matter
I don’t mean to detract
But as a matter of fact
That all they found is ‘doesn’t matter’

It’s a matter of life and death...

Cloud's Layover
Reality is a bitch of a mistress
  everyday feels like a negotiation,
should be like a babbling brook
  over silken-like pebbles instead of
      sucking acrid marrow's gritty pith,
hardly expecting...

Written: by Tom Wright

And because in my being I claimed no song,
Fright oft prevailing and leaving me shaken;

SERENITY RESPONSE

The winds of autumn blow 
Creating change

The crux of the matter
Do I bend or do I break?

Willow knows the truth
She may weep besides waters deep

But she drinks in courage to face the future
And bends...
