Best Ruse Poems

Deep within the city of muse
A rebellion is taking place
The pain and loss is evident
On every poet's face

A trial of sorts has just begun
To find the muse of guilt
The city itself has been torn down
The city the muse has built

The words themselves are walking around
Void...

The mental abuse had taken it’s toll...

For years no one ever had a clue...
Of the secret she hid..no one knew..
The child inside her never shed a tear...
Although she lived everyday with fear...
She grew up never knowing what love was...
Till that fateful day, when he met him on the bus..
He was tall...

With broken wing

She tried to fly

A broken wing

The ruse she tried

On broken wing

The sigh, it died

For broken wing

Her lover cried

Evidently beyond your control
they must be less
for you to be more

A drive beyond
Your governess
to belittle,discard,abhor

declaring self hero or victim
Simultaneously
Acting so mean

Needing to reduce 
All others to
the smoothest satiny sheen

Worn by your abrasive ways
Chip,chip,
Chipping away

As you bolster and fluff
Bluster enough
to keep inner critics at bay

Pathetically parading...

Someone’s tied me up,
And gagged me.
Must be someone’s cruel ruse.
I try to breath but it’s no use.
The rope is breaking into my skin.
Please, Lord, help me,
This pain just won’t end.
So shoot me now,
And end this cruel ruse....

World of ruse
~~~~~~~~~~~
Materialism is transitory
Illusory, a derivative of the lacking soul
And its need to attain a truth
Veiled by the belief of mortality
Limitations are a necessity
For the sake of the grand tapestry
Far too infantile are the masses perceptions
An elusive cognitive grasp
No, just too simple
For all the...

 Carrying an ignoble act in mind
With a ruse to devour all humankind.
A witch will tell you that all will be well
If you allow her to cast a charmed spell.

Ignore her and find that your soul be cursed
By a demon spell that can't be reversed.

Fresh and serene droplets rest in galore
As the dawn smiles on them to adore 
The tiny prettiness in spectral mode
Downs from out of the heavenly abode ;
In dainty drips and drizzles   the elixir
Enlivens  and recharges the aqua-spur

Beyond the brim and out of...

Magnify peoples lowest moments
then embellish to the extreme
ignore all of their accomplishments
then beat that same drum
until it becomes an angry scream.
If that doesn't work sow a juicy lie
try to spark a blazing fire
pull the tongue from the truth
twist -turn -edit - splice.
Spread more garbage-attract the...

They come to her hungry - hopeful
To be fed facile fantasy, a script he held 
Stowed in  boyhood through decades
Recessed where sweating shame dwelled 
Invisible while he achieved accolades 
Gridiron big man outperform boastful


Invited him - initial meeting innocent, ice cream
Daddy intrigued by her...

Shine on glory moons;
Starlit in compassions;
Grayness matters harden masses;
Beneath the corner stashes;
~
Rise up oh! cadence ruse;
Partial to the sun;
Blazed in glory run;
Away from darkness shun;

Ruse of the evil grimace also known as "Blondie"

A real hunter (and huntress), she stands five feet
and tips the scales at most one hundred pounds.

Despite looking like a little girl, her stock in trade
masks that diabolical mean mien streak evocation.

Said bipedal hominid creature haunts outer...

It was all a big massive ruse,
Meant to bewilder and confuse....
