The Disguise
Behind the smile lies a troubled heart.
Beneath the laughter resides a tortured mind.
Underneath the beauty of flowers is hidden clutter,
And below the shine, a trail of mystery waits.
The tortured often become celebrated figures;
Their struggles remain concealed within their chambers.
The troubled tend to be gifted,

Animal behind the disguise
They’re killing innocence because that’s what they do. Bullets are made to fly and bombs to fall too. The animal is alive and disguised by a soft smile. But it will rip out and eat your heart and then politely say thank you.
The animal lives a cultured life, educated and true. The animal exists in

Superman's Disguise
Suppose for a moment
Superman had no nose
Three eyes
And one leg three inches too short
He’d surely need a better disguise…
Or would he?

The Disguise in Little White Lies
I never said the fish was that big,
just long enough for your surprise.
Yes, the sky did fall down once -
though not in ways you've come upon.
The art of the little white lie
is a Trojan horse disguised
to catch your attention.
To trick you to pose or question
what you'd never otherwise ask.
The lie, error or mistake,
flips the mind

Navigating the Treacherous Waters of Office Politics
In office halls, where silhouettes loom,
Beware the boss who calls you aside to manipulate,
A trap awaits, where whispers seal your destiny,
Keep colleague woes locked deep, an unspoken weight.
Security's helping hand may hold a test,
Expectation's seed, in every coin you nest,
Proximity breeds contempt, a subtle art,
One day's omission, and you're branded apart.
Close friendships forged in workplace

Demons in Disguise
When Satan sought to deceive Eve,
he conceived an ingenious plan.
Of all the creatures he could choose,
the subtle serpent was his ruse.
When Eve did hear the serpent speak,
this surely did her interest peak.
She had no clue it was Satan,
disguised in such a charming way.
Demons are fallen angels who,
rebelled in an attempted coup,
against the government of God
lead

Be approached..
A story which
May illustrate that
All words are
Dressed to disguise...

One good fall
Pride it is said goes before a fall
A fall may not be fatal
One good fall could be a blessing in disguise
For It could signal a new beginning
It could portend a second chance
It could also be a learning phase
When you skip and fall
As mortals sometimes do
Take stock of the pitfalls
Get right up

Playboy In Disguise
They label you a rogue, a jest,
A playboy cloaked in careless jest,
Yet here I stand, my heart steadfast,
For in your chaos, my love is cast.
You wear no emblem of your soul,
But in your gaze, I find my whole.
A dance of kindness, subtle and rare,
In secret gardens, love takes care.
To others, you're a monarch bold,
A figure

Annetjie
Demon comes with smiles
Very carefully veiled wiles
Prod another to take the fall
A Victim through it all
Demon guise as a mother
Looking for another to smother
A wife a husbands fall foretell
She will see everyone burn in hell
Demon deception of caring
All the while souls seering
Malicious word of mouth ensue
But the truth you will eschew
Demon conniving and stealing
Envy

Haunted Home
I wanted so badly
to know every darkened piece of coal
beneath your sooted mantle
See for myself how every well lit pane
Became a sunlit stage
Where the glittered dust danced so graceful
How every long hallway corridor
led to every spiral staircase
Alway leading to something more
The home you built, the person that you are
I wanted so badly

Fibber in Disguise
AI is so clever, yet it often trips,
To hallucinate with fibs and skips.
But, don't get mad when it fakes and lies
For it's learned its lines from a billion flawed guys
Mere mortals in AI's fake, bit and byte, guise eyes.
Who checks up on the know-all bot in a genius disguise?
