The Sham of My Humanity
Evergreen flavored mantras
did nothing to purge bitter bile from my lips
nor slake the smoldering thirst for a Rosary remedy.
Tick-tock petals unfurled one by one
as your poppy shed its last sepal
releasing a scarlet sigh across sunset skies
whilst I placed a tender kiss upon your twilight.
If but for your gossamer bloom in persimmon perfection,
I would...

My Shadow
This shadow that I see with my back turned to the sun.
He represents me without fault and does not show my thinning hair
or blemish on my skin that's there, or any hidden thing,
or any other secret thing that's hiding deep within.
My shadow is the perfect mimic, knowing what it means to show the...

What I Am Not
I am not political,
but I am poetical,
as the first is a sham and the latter,
a sincere "I am."

Sham Pillows
Wear the mask
Graffiti tunnel
Windy inside
Worse above
Pretty defaced message
Spray paint tired
Isolated crowd
Echoed shroud
Subjugated love
Tread enraged
Rotting beneath
Porcelain crown...

When In Doubt, Change the Subject
Imagine a woman peeking out from the shower curtain…
Accompanying captions on the side appear
“I asked 100 women what shampoo they preferred?
The #1 answer to my survey was certain,
How’n blankety blank did you get in here?”
Managed perception creates confusion;
the picture plays a neat...

Sham Dealings
Good governance?
With all those killings?
And wish for potent alliance;
Then be a serf of sham dealings.

Sham of Poets
Is love all that old poets say?
Does it shake the earth
like a great earthquake?
Is love really like a starry sky,
a mountain high, are oceans deep?
Is love all wise men seek, or is it
more like a beach?
One side water the other land,
endless waves pounding sand?
Can you find love in the winter’s...

Sham
Deceitful lunatic fervent merchandise
Exist by ignorant foolish hypocrites lies
Retrieve the life by poisoned venom nymph
Spoke a sand of beach waiting the sea to take
Glad to be wicked at behind, hold it in a hand
Giggling inside, cry loud hard so one will see
Play an act of saint in the most persist time
Need all self to be...

Sham the Leprechaun
Sham the Leprechaun
Sham the leprechaun went to a pub
For some tasty St Patrick's Day grub
Then danced jigs fantastic
Quite enthusiastic
Did the splits, stuck like it, there's the rub.
The landlord said "Auld Sham's now a crock
And the silly old beggar's in shock"
Sadly, I'm not jokin'
His legs won't be closin'
He can't jig now, but boy, can Sham...

Sham Rock Gift
Mac gave a ring of pearl to his sugar
She showed the ring to her dad, a jeweler
Termed it as false and fake
Returned quickly to Mac
Mac urged,” Gift of Sham Rock, refuse never”

The Clam Sham Debachcall
reference to the song
the person depicted
is quite vain,
she worsens when she's
needed to be best
that what is shared is to
be known to the world
listen the strings sound like
crickets....nearer and nearer
they come closer
ranging in pitch, there sounds
arranged to distort the true happenings.
Is he that lovest, the only one in
the woman's life, or is she
deceitful and uncaring
only...
