A Less Fictitious Life

There once was a gal most religious
Whose love for her god was prodigious
   She looked deep inside
   Found fallacies most wide
She now lives a life less fictitious

Premium Member A Fictitious Queen of Nowhere In Particular

From the word 'born', she was made to be a queen.
From the weight numbers 7.7 lbs., she was born to be queen.
She was daddy's girl and mother's pearl, a gift to the world.
Not all queens are strong, but this future queen was born strong.

Although some thought her to be mean, she wanted to be fair to all.
If in this queen's presence, someone acted or spoke unapproving, she
simply stared you down until you wished yourself to be invisible.  This
stern queen believed in and practiced 'exceptionalism' like none I had
ever witnessed, and tokenism had no place in her presence.

She pursued 'education for all', and 'full employment' was her goal.
She believed in hard work and earning, not whining, one's way to success.
Queen Grace gave her best and from everyone else, she expected no less.

Queen Grace ruled with an iron fist, commanding respect from everybody.
She desired that long after her demise, her people would enjoy the fruits of both her labors and those of others in her kingdom. Future generations would be proud. She had inherited a solid foundation from her parents and was determined to make it even better.

There have been and always will be those who will fix things only temporarily.
Many are opportunists and do just enough to win the popularity contest or the next election. Not so with Queen Grace, who seemed to have had things figured out the day she was born. She refused to build a kingdom on hay, stubble, and wood. On the contrary, Queen Grace labored to leave a legacy built of pure gold and silver. "She wrought her people lasting good".

     this mariner born, bred and near lee

Fictitious Figment

Your dreamy bold curious unstable eyes
Juicy lips mounted with sober plausible sexy ties
Though silent yet propulsive pensive piercing voice
Curly hair, bare shoulder possessing fervid demise
All is enough to drive my sincere soul over flies

Fictitious Line

Smokes
of cigarettes
and mugs
full of coffee,
next
to the fictitious line
where the eddy
of words
leans against
and nods,
wounded,
to my silence.

Premium Member A Fictitious Dream

Maybe a simulation only
Tsunami tells us the waves 
Will eventually roar storeys high
The endless quarrying tells us 
One day the mountain rocks start rolling
The flood tells us the rivers
Will penetrate into the cities like roads
Pollution makes the rivers feed on colours
Acid rain sheds the leaves bald
Deforestation makes the forests thin
And animals start shifting
Radioactive waste makes the fishes commit suicide collectively
Workloads makes people 
Become pressured cans with stony faces
The skyscrapers poke into heaven Resulting in a bigger hole in the ozone layer
The endless oil mines poke into hell 
Resulting in volcano eruptions
Internal wars and boundary wars are Only signs of men struggling
To survive the pre-doomsday

Fictitious Articulation

A faux pas meant to be funny
a complicated compliment 
undressing the address

Words intermingle
suspending the single

Ghosts masked in the past
hypocrisy lasts
living a lie
tears in the sky

Explaining the unexplainable
a throne unattainable
reprecussions released
a mindset at ease

Lay down your pen
surrender's at hand

Fictitious Friend

The night grows dark, not my eyes -
With vision sharp, with a puzzled mind
I look, into the bushes, without a blink
Waiting for some light.
I can feel the fog, cold on me
It makes my palms and fingers numb;
My hard breath falls harsh on them
No peace for me, I see.
My tent is warm, I snuggle to bed,
Cold, cold! I cannot rest on them;
I had to endure a lot, a lot...
The despair deeply rooted in my mind.
I close my eyes, counting sheep in vain,
I cannot sleep, those memories wake me up
And I throw my legs in despair
Clutching my pillow and crying out.
I realize, I am in a metaphor.
You're my fictitious friend, whom I loved.
I hate your creator, who killed you,
And I would surely kill those cruel cannibals.
I'm still on the hill, with a wish to see you,
With a vain wish to get you back;
I can't plunge into the final pages
If I could, I would bring you back.

when any vicious rumor
got afoot with "FAKE" claim
that lessons did
     critique and declaim
antithetical quasi Aryan racial superior
     viewpoints (preceding Adolf Hitler

     by about a century),
     knowingly could enflame
status quo, which feigned
     "playing dumb" duh -

Fictitious Fact

When I walk I don’t cause 
                                                             Earthquakes

The Life of a Fictitious Person. Walter P. Wallace.

So proper and prim in my Brooks Broithers suit.
( I loathe that Obama! I much prefer Newt.)
Decorum at all times, when in public view.
( Dwelling on feelings would render one blue.)
An Ivy League background, a young trophy wife,
(I prefer peace and quiet, an absence of strife.)
Success at all costs is the rock bottom line!
( We keep cutting jobs and I think that's fine.)
All things in their turn and each in their place,
( That ***** they hired. I don't like his face.)
We must turn a profit. The public be damned!
(How dare they label our whole business a scam!)
How America prospers must be left up to us!
( If the gas goes too high, there's always the bus.)
Let them get here like I did- work hard and save!
( I have no regrets- save my untrod upon grave.)

Desiree Flake....
Stepping out on the man in her life
For a stranger she meets at night
O, she plays the game so well, always sweet
With the many secrets she keeps
One day she will learn that secrets do seep
That lies are like popping corn
They awaken a love one’s scorn
Apply enough heat, kernel by kernel
They all Pop! Pop! Pop! All over the place
Desiree Flake it is better to stay true
Secrets and lies will always make you blue
