The House Of Cards We Called Home

I never realized until I noticed
a part of me had dissolved
in the intoxication of you.
That missing piece was never mine—
it had always belonged to you.

I never noticed
how my sleep slipped away
into an ocean of thoughts
I couldn’t solve.

I wrapped myself in your thoughts—
thoughts that were not all true.

I lost a part of me
just to preserve the

The truth is there are
“Very fine people on both sides”
(and of course scoundrels on both sides too)
Because that’s the way people are 
Good and bad, sometimes both
Depending on context.

It’s been this way in every conflict 
From World Wars to local elections,
Family squabbles and schoolyard brawls.
And it’s how it will always be
Which should give us all

it came to pass
that the world we built
collapsed when it was tested

the fault line of course was ego
serial offender out on bail
disturbing the peace

the universe tests us
again and again and again
do we smile when the blood flows

perhaps our time has not arrived
becoming a Buddha must wait
our heart flutters in the wind

You say you need a strong foundation, my friend? 
On a god or guru, you cannot depend.
It is empty and false, and I beg your pard,  
But, it will all fall down just like a house of cards.

Don’t expect support from your family or kin.
For a chance at the throne, they will do you

House of cards, no agent can sell
Sulfuric regret all I smell
Laid flat with quiet violence
By one soft breath of pure silence

Building it shouldn't be so hard
The joke's on me with no discard
Loyalty my own worst penance
By one soft breath of pure silence

Was told triangles built strong things
But the most coveted are those rings
Stand them back

See the King without a crown

As the walls come crashing down

Closely now his heart he guards

In this lonely house of cards

The Queen knew just how he felt

Broken from the cards she dealt

In a bad hand of poker

She ran off with the Joker

Now his thoughts are running deep

All alone in Castle's Keep

Licking wounds that would fester

Just

I am an ace of diamonds
and you are an ace of spades
together we are two of a pair
like a king and a queen
living it up like a pair of jokers
inside a house of cards

House of Cards

I've been living in the house of cards
That I can almost know your move
Cause I've seen how the cards shuffle 
And how the games have been played 

I learnt all this while growing up in the house 
By age of seven, I could keep a straight face
And bluff while I had my face on
I had

House of Cards

I won all my trophies 
In a blood stained dress
Middle of the stairs 
I tripped, they stared 
Every step you take 
Is a cut in vain 
So realize before it’s too late 
The whispers, the laughing 
The screams, the war 
The phantom songs 
Playing in the background 
The world they created 
The life you believed

House of Cards

I once built a house of cards.
At the top's the queen of hearts.
Diamonds glitter, clubs grow like clovers 
Spades decorate the castle all over.

Carefully constructed, everything in place
My home is perfect from the top cards to the base.
I am its chief, its builder and king
I unlock its door and let the bells ring.

Open to the

Group built like a house of cards;
The odds were stacked against us
right from the very first spark;
Crossing paths with the right hand,
Inevitability, 
played  a game we couldn’t win; 
Time came with a royal flush.

tucked away in your castle
master of the universe
isolated bunkered
guarded and surrounded
basking in delusions

one wild card and suddenly
your masterplan does not compute
so beneath you
your house of cards
tumbles tumbles tumbles
without net or safeguard

question is
do you dare
to reinvent yourself

Premium MemberHis House of Cards Fell

The Billionaire Boys Club was spurned.
On debut night, it crashed and burned.
It stars Kevin Spacey
who’s lewd, crude, and racy--
a predator, as we have learned.

What goes around DOES come around.
This adage is true, we have found.
So many are paying        
for wrong things they’re saying
and doing. The stories abound.

It’s not
