Best Looks Can Be Deceiving Poems

From a babe to a man, I needed your hand. Now I understand, it was part of God's 
ultimate plan. I was to be raised by another woman.  Don't get me wrong, Grandmomma was something! She gave me all the love a child could...

I saw a tree crying in the rain
A woman hurting with no pain 
The wind blowing but I couldn't 
prove it
The earth spinning but I could 
not move it
The song itself could not sing
The thought it travelled with no 
wings
The words alone could not 
speak 
The gauge...

this boy - 
he is mythology
he is the pomegranate sitting in persephone's 
palm - 
(looks can be deceiving)

this boy - 
he is a mirror
can show medusa what heaven really is - 
how pain really feels 
but medusa never looks 

this boy in the sun -...

Let me start by saying looks can be deceiving
By the person that’s receiving
And transmitting the image to the brain to create a perfect picture
Judging before you look
Failing to see pass the skin deep within
Where her beauty lies therein
You not willing to go on a journey...

Walking down the sea shores 
Gazing at wondrous God’s creation
Amused by the noise made by waves
And enjoying the spit by rolling waves 

I blinked twice for conviction	
I couldn’t believe my eyes
The adage says “looks can be deceiving”
Can the angel be evil?

Your glittering chocolate skin
And dripping...

Silver tounge devil
You master of arts
Making promises of forever
Than ripping out hearts

You're a snake in the grass
Laying ready to strike
Looks can be deceiving
You're as deadly as your bite

Eyes from the Heavens
Body of a God
My life was perfect
Until you came along

A force to be reconed with
Leaving...

I was there not too long ago,
Everything seemed fine.
You looked like a happy, healthy family,
But I guess looks can be deceiving can’t they.
That very night,
You broke my brothers heart.
It’s shattered in pieces,
To never be put back together again.
It’s like humpty dumpty, 
and his wall.
He’s fallen...

I drift off to slumber only to receive a warning.
An alert to impending danger.
The one who is evil and,
Aims to turn your soul black.
Beware of the one with hair of fire and,
The voice of an angel.
Watch out for her piercing black eyes.
Yet, all will hear...

Looking at the view from the window
Watching all the cars pass on buy
The street lamps give a distant glow
Now brienghting the darkened sky

Looking at the view from the outside
A whole completely different perspective
Especially when looking from the inside
Some things seem like their reflected

Looking at a...

Escaping Illusions


A person can only take so much
Guess you ran out of luck, huh?
What’s next?  What did he do?  What didn’t he do?
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

How can she treat you like a king?
If you can’t understand what she...

My flower lies within, a sight that few have seen.
Protected and hidden by sharp thorns and leaves of green.
An innocence ripped away at a very early age.
My flower's locked away in a cold and lonely cage.

Pain and loneliness now partnered with a lost child’s soul.
A...

An abandoned dragonling I did find,
I took him in and built a metal shed
for this dragonling to lay his head;
he grew to have a profound mind.

When dragonling was about four,
books he actually began to read
and he did it with amazing speed;
through all books we had,...

I used to watch sunsets in your eyes. But something changed, I began to catch you in 
lies.  Don't act like it's strange, and seem surprised.  Your tears can't heal my pain.  So stop 
the theatrics and tell me his name! ...

Yesterday I found a tear stained love letter                                     ...

My dearest you 
I know I brought you nothing but pain and sorrow
Sleepless nights accompanied by a wet pillow 
How you smiled and yet with tears in your eyes
When I screamed you the one for me 
You gave me your heart and I took it...
