Deceive Poems

Breakup

I still remember the day 
You promised you'd stay.
Thought, not even in my dreams 
How swiftly you could slip away!
Fights were meant to happer 
But wasn't love to abandon.
Had you known the consequence
Our future would be to our convenience.
Whom should I blame 
For my efforts are in vain? 
In the throes of love I was

Look again, beware

Look again, my dear
things are not as they appear
while words deceive
they slither and they weave
your eyes can also lie
lead you astray with just a sigh

Look deep beyond the surface, dear
and trust not everything you hear

I sink deep into the unhappiness of being the one who doesn't deceive you with sweet illusions

I sink deep into the unhappiness of being the one who doesn't deceive you with sweet illusions,
I refuse to change who I am for anyone, even for the shadows that surround me.
I've detested how easily you allow yourself to be manipulated to accept everything you hear without question,
Have I not left a strong enough impression,

Friendless

It happens to everyone/
All we want is a few/
To be called a true friend/
To show us that there's others out there/
Just like us, so we open ourselves/
To the job of finding true worthy people/
To surround ourselves with/
Only to be filled with lies and deceit/
Generation after generation/
Just keeps getting shadier/
To be blind and not see things/

the descent

My eyes deceive me,
Wondering, worrying
if I am free.

The current pulls me out
it's disorienting.
yet, you don’t see me pout.

Forty won’t come
But you promised.
so fragmented, so gruesome.

My eyes deceive me.
It's disorienting.
so fragmented, so gruesome.

Deceive Heart

So many years gone
Still I can't forget how
My heart believe you.

Comfortable Arrows

Away from alleys, muggers don sombreros.
So sharp, so twisting, they’re like arrows.
The target never narrows.

Sneaking, dancing through the night,
Arrows never cause a fright.
They steal every light.

Not one is safe; they’re everywhere.
Look around for their snare.
Don’t say your cross is too much to bear.

Are you too blind to see?
The answer is in front of me.
I will

Looks To Deceive

A teardrop of joy
a teardrop of sorrow
Different in substance
different in kind
Flowing endemic
the scientist’s baffled
Their chemical compounds
— distinct and profound

Integrity

Your ego will deceive you,
Integrity never will.
On Wealth
The wise man said to a poor peasant: I will make you wealthy. 
Of the three riches I offer, what do you wish as wealth? 
Gold and many servants
Wisdom and many followers
Integrity and many enemies
The peasant contemplated, then answered: 
Integrity, with all wealth comes enemies.
With gold and servants,

Looks To Deceive

Armed with the same knowledge
we’re still not conjoined
Intention the difference
no flip of the coin

Our substance a mirror
but essences framed
by choices defining
—the praise or the blame

Multilingual Birds of a Feather

     The Mockingbird sings out his misleading best,
  
     in hopes to attract a dupe with a nest,

     where the squatter believes mate’s eggs should belong;

     so mimics and jabbers uncountable songs.

Golden Glittering Look

Your glittering golden look is deceiving
looks like real gold fulcrum
it's attractive thing but it just glitters

Deceive Love

I believed you
That you cared
But you didn't
All you wanted was my love

I was a fool
I believed your lies
That you could ever love me
And the worst part was, I loved you too
But all you did was hurt me

I came to you
For your wise words of help
But then you began
Questioning my love

You told me that I wasn't

Liars

When you talk to me
My ears acts like sieve
My eyes know it all
My face can't stop smirking 
Cause even your lies 
Can't deceive me this time
I might be innocent back then
Letting me dance on your fingertips 
But trust me
I have become way smarter than I was

Guard Your Heart

Guard your heart.
Don't give love away or the pain will smart and 
your heart will fray..
Don't serve your heart on an open tray or some
may come and cart pieces away..
Keep open your heart to give and receive but
be smart and weed  those there to deceive..
If you always wear your heart on your sleeve,
you may
