The Fruitless Binge

 
No glass was left unscathed
For the night retained
Its juvenile sway

For chaos ruled
Our trembling days
So we burdened the eves
With our harbored dismay

As the night
Teetered, unhinged
And the meek hearts yearned
For a fruitless binge

They cleaved
Each virgin craft
Through rivers brewed gold
On their fever-driven rafts

Midnight's Loathsome Crime

 
Daybreak hummed along
With a vicious glitter
Through slain bottles of wine
Strewn and hollow
Their secrets firmly sealed

Before scorched windowpanes
Scores cried out
From the snares of agony

Tottering helplessly
For the threshold's glare
The ominous unveiling
Of midnight's
Loathsome crime

2012 in Review

2012 has been one hell of a year full of craziness and a lot of i don't know what lol. But, it has been a year of great triumph! I was published four different times this year, one of them being a book i published on my own available here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/william-l-wright-jr/guardian-of-the-inkwell-a-collection-of-ramblings-of-the-poetic-persuasion/ebook/product-20548322.html and here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/guardian-of-the-inkwell/id584542847?mt=11 .  Once again I owe a huge thank you to Brian Wrixon for making a lot of this happen.  He has featured my work in three of his anthologies; The Survivor's Guide to Bedlam (pages 396-397): http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3258738 , On the Words of Love (pages 300 -303): http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3531371 and  In Praise - In Memory - In Ink (pages 319 -322): http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3822960 . I went to  Vegas with both of my lovely sisters and my brother in law and i had an incredible time (from what i can still remember). I can only hope for great things in 2013. So, far this has been a decade of reinventing myself and innovation. Let us see what happens next. Happy New Year everyone!
