Time, that silent betrayer of dreams unraveling at dawn
Time, that silent betrayer of dreams unraveling at dawn,
Like an unseen knife cutting deep into the flesh of lost memories,
Speaks to you without words, a master of crimes hidden in shadow,
Raises palaces of hope at sunrise and buries them in the silence of graves.
It forgets its promises in a blink, turning "forever" into "once,"
Burns vows

The Betrayer
He stands in the corner, watching me:
His eyes are red like blood
And he bears no name, rank, or identity—
His skin is faded pale
As if he has been drained of all soul.
The white square upon his breast
(A surrogate for where once laid a heart)
Is the last innocent part of him—
His body smeared with blood and dirt.
When

Blistering Lips of the Betrayer
I dine with the blind,
See this divine,
Oh dear mankind,
Drink chalice wine.
You all go blind,
Say everything is fine,
Let the fine dine,
Reaching out for lies.
The supper of flies,
Soon be crucifies,
Man becomes sinner,
Mouth of blisters.
Death to the light,
Self smite, death write,
Flesh like bites,
Fade out of the lights.

Pieces of Heart
Oh, darling!
Look what you did,
To trust you again,
My heart forbids.
My blood can neglect,
These nerves can bear.
But tell me, were you been paid,
To be my betrayer?
Left the pieces of my heart,
On the street you walk unshod,
Giving warmth by your feet,
On the tears I shed.
Wild fetishes of yours,
With my sweet fantasies,
Could never fine-tuned.
Might be the reason for

The Betrayer
Miracle Man
5/7/2023
Words spread fast in a three dog town,
faster than a grass fire on a windy day..
Affecting not only the one taken down,
but collateral damage makes others pay.
For the tongue betrays the heart of man,
and the thoughts that linger there.
From thoughts, all our angry words began,
and are launched by tongue with flare.
Angry words bring

Betrayer of Russias Rouble
If quite clean is this portrayal
For the Rouble quit betrayal...
We don't higher fly with trouble:
We remain The Trapped in a rubble
You can't be seeker of trouble
And of it not clinch a double?
Currency to hurt not Rouble
How long can you with joy bubble?
Now a mansion soon great Rubble
If you dare betray The Rouble
For life body heat

Betrayer
They were with me the whole time
as I yelled and cried and cursed the whole of existence.
They held me
They fed me
They did all they could.
They nursed me
and cried too as I cussed them
and lashed out
and hit them
and stole from them
and ran out on them without a word
of thank you.
Then, when their time came,
(we all have

BETRAYER -Revised
TIME OF THOUGHT: July 1,2012
DATE OF THOUGHT:LOSS
Your mission
You finally executed
Now you have broken loose
Our bond of friendship
Now the cloud is crystal clear
That it was a plastic one
Your fake and rehearsed smile
No wonder your smile does not reach your face
Pretender
Now I know
Why your smile ceased to be oily
My trust you barter
My

What a Betrayer
O! You are naive
You are barbaric indeed
In you, I am disappointed
We sight each other everyday
We smile to one another each day
We fondle one another day by day
Aren’t we married for years?
In number, it was thirty three plus three years
O! Electricity
You are but faulty
You bit me with your electricity teeth
Just as snake bites
Believe me
Please trust me
Pray

Ye, the Betrayer
How dare you! How could you?
Beneath that innocent brow
Deceive the one you woo to
Upon you, I now frown
She waited. She loved you!
She had set aside her crown.
Soon you will get what now is due
For I shall throw you down.

The Betrayer
I Love you was nothing but a game
But my feelings will forever be the same
Your tongue was a double edged sword
Pierced through my soul and broke my heart
straight you looked in my eyes and lied
You said if we broke is the day you die
But you living and moved on that's a lie
Am here wondering why

Workshop Poem the Betrayer of You and I
For a year l have been travelling around the world
Searching for the betrayer of you and I
I travelled to the four cardinal point of the world
I went to Burundi central Africa
Where river Nile was, I asked the Nile
Of the great enemy of you and I
Your great enemy is with you, said the Nile
I went

Time Is a Betrayer
Time is a betrayer
Sometimes, its a player
It would betray you
And you'd blame yourself
It can misrepresent you
So that you'd forger yourself
Time chases you everywhere
It comes on your heels
Just like an armed robber
So you better gotta to be wise
In all your dealings with time
As for me, this piece I'd always revise
So I can learn to dance on

The Betrayer
WE STARTED YOUNGER
HOPING TO END IT WELL
IT WAS AS A GAME OF CHANCE
A LUCK IN EVERYONE’S FAVOUR
A BEHAVIOUR CAME ABOUT
CALLING EACH INDIVIDUAL
TO AVERT UNIONISM
UNITY IS THE FACT
THAT HOLD THE FUTURE
POTRAYING HONESTY
HOW DARE YOU BETRAY?
BEWARE FOR YOU MAY LIVE
AND MAY LIVE LONELY
DEEP IN SMELL WATER LONELY
ASKING WHICH WAY TO HOLY
PLUS THE WAY TO NEW NOLLY
IN RETRACING
