Deceiving Bird Calls
For as long as I remember I’ve had this avicultural fad;
keeping birds in planted aviaries from the day I was a lad.
Caging prolific zebra finches to the pretty Whydah bird.  
Bred Strawberries and Cutthroats even if their name’s absurd. 

There were a hundred other...

Deceiving Beams From False Moons Often Fall

Deceiving beams from false moons often fall
To those sad, lonely and lost love blinded
Aching for tender-sweet renewed love calls
Fall farther being so single minded.

Darkness offers its own glimmering rays
Converted into lights by epic pains
When all seems lost, mere seconds...

Premium Member Deceiving Dreams
Living in a dream is an exception
The scenes are all real strange and different
The music within it are all chained down
Never do the notes express their lament

As the nature of the dream is a swamp
Portraying and delving an eerie truth
Not knowing if you should get...

Premium Member Looks So Deceiving
A woman I know can put on a show
With a body like Aphrodite; 
One look at her all and a man might fall
On his face, she’s so inviting. 

With sumptuous lips and curvaceous hips
And a walk that screams “Come hither,”
And a smile contagious and tongue...

Deceiving Rose
Destructive rose with your thorns
Elegance deserving to be forlorn
Stabbing those who hold you close
Deceiving those who love you most

Called by any other name, just as sweet?
How about betraying, beguiling, or disaster to complete

Lonely rose, receiving love
Yet only reciprocating with sharp pointed shove

Then someone reaches out
Reality...

Lying and Deceiving
The last living souls on Earth
will be the ones who lie and deceive.
Humans have painted a portrait of
humanity that exemplifies the worst of us,
and instead of hiding it away,
have turned it into a museum.
One painting to represent one body of work.
Humanity has forced itself into...

Deceiving Sun
Even the sun itself can be quite deceiving
Upon viewing it's powerful rays beaming warmth is generally what you'd expect to be receiving
More often than not things aren't quite as they appear
Same goes for taking a gander at yourself in a mirror
Visions distorted but the mirrors...

Deceiving Distortion
This distortion I reek of 
Is seeping 
Its not under control
Im forced into believing this bed is too big for the small room
That the walls of this small room is a way of containing the things I hold
Maybe if my hands weren’t heavy with the...

From Yours To Mines, Our Deceiving Eyes
I've got two arms,with two hands.Two legs, with two feet. But for everything I have double, in quantity, I have one mind, one heart, one mouth that is equally important, controlling what I feel, how I think, and what I say.~ Most importantly I have...

Deceiving Light
Often we feel
joyfully, gladly
Something we have
received
But soon discover
gloomily
Our heart has been
deceived

An unknown loving
light
Appears in the
composed soul
Steals away the
bright
Smashing the world
whole

The days become
thirsty
The nights are all
restless
The thoughts be
empty
With the fruitless
clash

We wish for the hope
star
Gaping into the dark
night
A handicap stretches
afar
With broken, wounded
might...

Innocence Is Deceiving
Today is gorgeous
The lake ripples
As the wind digs its nails
Into the blue sheen that protects it

I braze the now still waters surface with my hand
Freezing! Bitter! Lovely!
I stand back then jump…

Freezing pain never felt so good
As its deep blue water caresses me
Deeper and deeper inside...

Deceiving Evenings
there’s a grey cat sitting on my shoulder
singing the drunken songs of the crying jag
so that’s why she finally didn’t come over?
with silver rings on her eyelashes
with green aurora in her sunglasses

should I be worried when walls slowly fade away?
leaving the crooked winds flood my...

Seeing Is Deceiving
i feel so ugly inside

it feels like i lost my mind

it feels like i'm so mean and dumb

i don't even feel like i'm someone


i'm a monster at my best

creating yet another mess

lying, cheating, causing stress

hating, deceiving, unfriendliness- nahh


for my troubles, i have only myself to...

Time Gentlemen
Never believing that I was deceiving myself
(I guess it must have been a dream)
That I could ever be the man I thought I’d be
And not the man I am today.

Living and loving
With life ever leaving me
Ever leading me on
Through life.
I’d have taken time to be...
