Appearances Can Be Deceiving
Altho' I didn't study for my Rorschach test when the proctor a doctor a shrink evaluating my perception in search of insight to discover what I might really think handed me ten pictures on a card I took a long hard look then knew exactly what I did see and did not blot my copybook as often what you're gazing at is simply (on...

Opposites attract
They say They say opposites attract, I suppose they were right to think that especially for us. For i was naive and you wanted to deceive I was as pure as the driven snow And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe. Opposites attract. You secretly wanted to attack, I just wanted you to love me back. You...

Premium Member I smile, deceiving time, but my bewitching heart weeps
I smile, deceiving time, but my bewitching heart weeps, In the evenings when loneliness spreads its canvas with sparse stars. To love you – means I wish you fields of poppies under the illuminated moon, Means that your kindness blossoms in my speechless garden. I love you – and this translates to my breeze no longer caressing your foundation, Words...

Premium Member Just a Thought
Could this life just be a dress rehearsal for a weary soul? Do we travel thru so many lives until we meet our goal? Perhaps our massive egos are adept at deceiving. Should we mourn when a person is born and celebrate their leaving?...

Deceiving Distortion
This distortion I reek of Is seeping Its not under control Im forced into believing this bed is too big for the small room That the walls of this small room is a way of containing the things I hold Maybe if my hands weren’t heavy with the burden of myself id be able to see past this...

Premium Member Before and After
Before and after May show a positive difference Like a weight loss program That deceives and soothes people's eyes But never time and aging Time comes and goes Aging lingers and deteriorates And both of them leave or linger Without any concrete reasons And of course Without your permission And of course Without the control of man...

The fan moves From three panes To six panes To infinity Faster and faster the pace The fan develops From a lovely flower To a tremendous - speed - spinning wheel Deceiving your eyes Telling you that What you see In a swift glance May not be the truth In a deep meditation...

Time Gentlemen
Never believing that I was deceiving myself (I guess it must have been a dream) That I could ever be the man I thought I’d be And not the man I am today. Living and loving With life ever leaving me Ever leading me on Through life. I’d have taken time to be someone But that time is gone, And I am left here, now,...

Lying and Deceiving
The last living souls on Earth will be the ones who lie and deceive. Humans have painted a portrait of humanity that exemplifies the worst of us, and instead of hiding it away, have turned it into a museum. One painting to represent one body of work. Humanity has forced itself into evil; Cheating and lying and scamming and stealing to get out...

Deceiving Bird Calls
For as long as I remember I’ve had this avicultural fad; keeping birds in planted aviaries from the day I was a lad. Caging prolific zebra finches to the pretty Whydah bird. Bred Strawberries and Cutthroats even if their name’s absurd. There were a hundred other species that I bred behind the wire, but as the years...

Sleeping On Duty
Shut eyelids in duty-filled rooms Instant graveyards make of busy offices: A longing for robots to take over the brooms Or complete the suspended notices! Eyes are closed by wage-earners, In their old jobs seeming accursed learners: What, if their superiors’ sneaking visits happen? Nearly all confidential files riskily open! The secretaries’ bulging documents are sorting themselves out And the bursting queues outside can’t...

Deceiving Sun
Even the sun itself can be quite deceiving Upon viewing it's powerful rays beaming warmth is generally what you'd expect to be receiving More often than not things aren't quite as they appear Same goes for taking a gander at yourself in a mirror Visions distorted but the mirrors not broken Sometimes a soft gentle whisper can ring louder then...

Premium Member Deceiving Beams From False Moons Often Fall
Deceiving Beams From False Moons Often Fall Deceiving beams from false moons often fall To those sad, lonely and lost love blinded Aching for tender-sweet renewed love calls Fall farther being so single minded. Darkness offers its own glimmering rays Converted into lights by epic pains When all seems lost, mere seconds are delays Minutes wasted seem unbearable strains. Where once love thrived, now...
