Guise of Light

She found four horses 

as they arrived

and saw one more

come around the outside



"... but they'll never see it ..."

in the guise of light



"... or even believe it..."

so we might as well write



"... four shores...

and then Seven sees

... an eighth Sister...

in the system Pleiades"



and from their message in Pi

I could see with my very own eyes

that

In Guise and Surprise, Dove Plumages

It's been a while I handled my humble muse like this.

Here is a duet between  Mfoniso Ubaha and Wems Henry Temmy

MU
I am fine. 
You smile with head up, saying; good.
I chuckled, putting up a dirty smile
And you call it beautiful. 
I said: okay, you believed it
Without knowing how not okay I am. 

WHT
You are

Face To Face

We always start across the room
Yet end up side by side.
I'd tell myself you're like the rest,
But then I'd have to lie.

Oftentimes I wonder: why you?--
Still young, finding your place.
But maybe, like a mirror, through you
I see myself face to face.

Today, mid conversation,
I saw it in your eyes--
A shift so subtle and so plain,
Like lifting

ANGEL IN GUISE

    Amazing astounding appearance of an angel
    Not from heavenly abode
    Glorious happenstance offering guidance and aasistance
    Enabling troubles to overcome
    Lending strong helping hand.

    In guise of friends, child, mentor, relative or even no

sun dark afternoon
so distant, pale planet hides
in spite of the light

so good afternoon
rests behind Jupiter's guise 
planet rides in spite

on top of the world
long heavens gray horizon

In the Guise of Loved

Substitution in the guise of love
deceit for a life time
for all the things they want

And there’s nothing they can tell you
from what little do they know
only to accept you
as if they would grow
and mature into 
you

For the dumbest puppet
has tiny hands and unsteady feet
and it’s so easy
to oppress the weak
so easy to inject them
in the

Premium MemberThe Guise of Blue Jay Skies

F  l  y  i  n  g

a sailing tailwind
in cerulean streams
through creamsicle colored beams -
are wings reflective of turquoise truth 
and white purity 
of Autumn’s ether -

he aviates 
a clear troposphere 
riding an unbridled
capricious and combative 
boreas
on the cusp
of a new season

with a plumage infusion
of shifting Cape Cod skies

Premium MemberGuise of a Clown

I have never liked your phoney guise as a clown
Whose silly painted smile should be turned upside down
I'd like to put red ants
Down your baggy ass pants
And watch you dance until the seat of 'em runs brown

The Guise of a Poet

A craftsman of words
Not a voice to others
Says what he thinks
Whether it's right or wrong
The voice of his own private thoughts
If it passes 
Thru the poet's head
Then that's what 
It represents as truth
The whole truth 
He thought this
Whether, it's true or not
He thought it

Springing Guise

Upward rise,
Daily highs.
Skyward eyes,
Season's ties.
Crowded skies,
Southern cries,
Northward flies.
Mated prize,
Winter dies.

The Black Widow's Metastasizing Guise: Casey Anthony Saga

You spun your spindly web of lies
In the silken strands waxed family ties
You coddled your young then muffled her cries
You buried her carcass 'neath the availing skies
Beneath your black veil lay a predatory disguise
With your guile, you craftily disarmed all of the bleary eyes
A bleeding shroud in your stolid carriage did rise
A new, more sinister

Vicious Attacks In the Guise of Humor

Vicious Attacks in the Guise of Humor

By Elton Camp

“Where’s your sense of humor?  I was just joking.”
This comes from a man that I’d like to be choking
People who get a laugh at someone else’s expense
Makes me wish that either I, or they, were far hence

Because such teasing comes from family or “friend,”
The outraged victim
