Best Deceived Poems
A dreadful memory upon life’s sea
Returns to the days when life was carefree.
A spiritual youth faced the world alone.
Distracted by life and its sinful groan.
I thought that my Savior was by my side.
Whispers from Satan deceived my abide.
There is no God; it is a ruler’s toy.
To make men subservient was the ploy.
Scientists discovered we came from apes.
Questioning God, I ate bananas, grapes.
The devil deceived me with many lies.
Despite my souls whisper and needed cries.
I turned away from God for a short time.
When wisdom returned, life became sublime.

Jealousy is a disease,
Which might make one feel at no ease.
I guess everyone experiences this,
But it might be difficult to resist
The feeling of being deceived,
Is all we hope not to receive.
This feeling turns to anger,
But, one should never lose their composure.
The disease comes like a wave,
So be aware.
Jealousy is a disease,
Which might make others feel at no ease.

Some green some blue saying how do you do
some you sniff some you swallow some you puff from a bottle
some are big some are small some make you feel ten feet tall
some bring you up some take you down some have your head spinning around
feeling good got that hit and believing at anytime you can quit
but you come down from that high and with life you can't cope
so you run out to the nearest corner looking to score some more dope
Thought you had it all together thought you could handle it
but when you're without it you throw a real hissy fit
It's presence is overwhelming when it gets you in its grip
and if youre not careful your life will become a long drawnout trip.
Along the hallway she drops pink rose petals
and stepping onto the white carpet,
she pulls the ivory chemise over her head
and slips between the lavender satin sheets
breathlessly awaiting his arrival..
The clock ticks away each anxious moment
as her dark eyes watch and wait..
then the phone rings and she hears
her heart singing its familiar refrain
but his words are not endearing, as he
calls her Cynthia, not Cindy or honey..
He tells her he does not love her anymore
and she feels her heart stop, as in the background
a strange woman's voice is calling his name..
she hangs up the phone and crawls back into bed
pulling the lavender sheets up over her head,
and she cries alone for the man who once was hers,
looking for comfort from a clock that speaks,
but cannot hold her..
Yes by a man Bob was deceived.
Admiring female he believed.
He saw a big butt.
He watched it strut.
She said hi~deep voice,
BOB GRIEVED.
You love me
With your soul
But slowly killing me
With your heart
How silly of me
To fall for
A pretty face
And a sexy smile
I saw a rose with petals red.
I reached for it in haste.
But thorns pierced my hands instead.
That was a sad mistake.
Like that precious rose that bloomed
thus did my love for you.
I should have known that I was doomed.
And now our love is through.
Moldy floating rocks.
Deceived by clear sparkling lake.
Mirrored polution.

My soul deceived me too long
It had tricked me
Told me I lacked feeling
That love is a River
A day always longed for in the distance?
My soul deceived me when it poured
What lives in the mind of the great mind
It took away what I desire
I lost years of my life?
The years that need Love....?
But it fed them silence and asceticism
The self deceived me
It's surpassed my heart
And what adorns my chest now
Is just only dust
From the ashes of my life..
What remains from the ashes of my life
Is nothing but futility
Sunk in the cavities of the Earth
And beyond the river
I looked for the warmth of the sun
For the blossom of the dream
That never faded
My soul deceived me too long
When it told me that I got all the verses right
And that the nights would never fold
And that love is eternal
And that its waves long to reach
The sky and the hills
The soul deceived me
Oh how I was deceived
When it pleased others
With a happy ending
With kindness and serenity
But fed my heart embitterment
Filled my horizon
With an array of distempers
My soul deceived me
Reassured me with peace
To walk the whole path
Of thorns but never roses
Even if they bloomed
In the sun shades
My soul deceived me
Ah woe unto me
Even a friend could not accompany me
It did not love me as it loved others
Or show me beauty
My soul denied me
Do I have the right of the air and love
My soul deceived me
Its gave me all these things
I tried desperately to prevent
And formed me with as much as it could
With all folly of illusions and fantasy
It never saved me
Never saved me
From shackles and distress
I lurk to tread troubled waters,
Across earth’s reality.
On traced wheels of ventured
Men, lost in faded glory.
My eyes print upon the strand,
And sway, entranced in their vexing
Motions, as She hauls her prey:
Frozen preserves of timely wrath,
Slipping amiss…amiss.
Into Her broken depths,
That gather darkness
From wood and flesh;
Petrified, neath Her swollen fists.
She lusts the breath of sailing ships
Still some far away.
I marvel how many have lost their way
Adrift Her supple skin,
Like doves of derailed direction,
Taken by a drunken wind.
Seduced by Her wispy motions
And spun along sea-web to deceive;
They disregard the Son’s counsel.
I loved you,
but you deceived me,
I trusted you,
and you still hurt me,
you knew my past,
you knew my pain,
you promised that I,
would never hurt again,
you held my heart,
like you held my hand,
you let it drop,
over and over again,
like glass it broke,
shattered on the floor,
I glued it together,
always just once more,
those nights I cried,
I did not cry for you,
I cried for myself,
and the pain you put me through,
I should never have loved you,
or trusted a single word,
I should've seen this coming,
I should've known I'd get hurt,
But I am stronger now,
more than i ever was,
although I've shed some tears,
and I've shed some blood,
the scars remain,
but they make me brave,
they remind me daily,
that I'm nobody's slave,
I've made it through this,
with a few cuts and bruises,
but I made it through alive,
so I'm not the one who loses,
your words hurt then,
but now I see through them,
your voice fades away,
till its just an illusion.
My inquisitive mind deceives sometimes,
Finds information that just isn't so,
I find myself committing crimes,
My excuse being that I just didn't know.
Luckily I have never been caught,
Its hard to stay honest and yet,
I just say its something I bought,
Because my foolish mind causes regret.
I thought I was supposed to take it.
I walked away, I did not run.
Never assumed I would not make it.
The life of a kleptomaniac is no fun.

I have been the best I could
with you I always stood
In all corners of life,
I took you and looked at you as my wife
I gave you all that I had to offer
I always never left you suffer
For you my heart grew in love and respect
I was moved to believe in love we were perfect
To me you were like light
A light in me that shone so bright
You light my world,you became my hope
You washed my dirty Saul clean,you became my soap
Now everyday I sing this song
Dear where really did I go wrong
Is this the best reward
Is this the best you could bring forward?
So much my heart has bled
A lot of tears I have shed
My heart has now remained hollow
Only filled with a lot of sorrow
I feel deceived
I feel I have been fooled
I feel cheated
I feel I have been despised.
Be grateful for being taught God's word
such a wonderful gift is the holy scriptures
so make sure to tell others God's promises
sharing how you can eternally endure
Don't be deceived God won't be mocked
whatever you sow you will reap
take heed of God's true living word
make sure to abide by His word to keep
For if you sow according to your flesh
from that flesh, you will reap its effect
better to sow in the holy spirit divine
to receive eternal life as God's elect
Encourage yourself to always do good
don't get weary just keep going on
for in due season, you'll get a reward
if you don't give up keep being strong
Take every opportunity always do good
to all who cross your personal path
especially those who walk by faith
glorify your God as truly you should
("Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.")
Galatians 6:6-10 (ESV)
Effervescent charm
Filled disbeliever with hope
Readily deceived
