Blood That Isn't Mine
A name I gave, a hand I fed,
Nights of toil, my dreams I bled.
The cradle rocked with borrowed cries,
Yet truth lay veiled in whispered lies.
I wore the crown of fatherhood,
Built a home from flesh and wood.
But silence kept its sharpened sword,
And struck me down—paternity fraud.
DNA, a ruthless guide,
Revealed the secret long denied.
The mirror cracked, the

Won't Take That
She gave her word and I just believed,
was the best thing that happened to me,
but, before long, on camera I see
her sneaking with a man who lives up the street.
Probed her for truth, but, oh, she just lie,
never had a hint of guilt in her eyes,
how can someone feel that justified,
even showed her the tape,

Infidelity
(A lone voice whispers)
l still miss that sweet voice
Whose noise used to make my heart rejoice
But choices made need to be paid without delay
So the Big Old Church Book says

I Come with Fire
I Come with Fire
Once upon a time, we lived a fairy tale
Filled with love and laughter
Now the walls are crashing down
on our happily ever after
You proved you are a cheat
and I know you are a liar
Ill hold the flames to your feet
I will come with fire
You shove me around like it’s

Drinking infidelity
Stunning beauty her face really was!
She was shaped more like a lovely vase.
Never for a one night stand!
Booze brewed my sins in bare hands!
Beer dragged my shame under my wife's claws.

Marital vows in dust
Stunning beauty! Her face truly was.
She was shaped more like a lovely vase.
Her steps left footprints of lust.
My marital vows, in dust.
Drunkenness painted her with no flaw.
Liquor whispered love to her hearing,
But when she turned, beer stopped its cheering.
Booze brewed my sins with bare hands!
My shame buried in the sands.
Then, devil took over the steering.

Dumb star
My Mr moon tells me I shine the brightest
My Mr moon is the smartest
My Mr moon enjoys it when I miss him
My Mr moon smiles when I'm clingy
My Mr moon swears that I'm pretty
My Mr moon cradles my thigh, and whispers that I'm the apple of his eyes
My Mr moon sought out my heart
My Mr

The Tables Will Begin Turning
The tables keep on turning.
The wheels keep turning.
Eyes that are burning.
A vision of deception
a heart left mourning.
All of that is over
waking up to peaceful stress-free mornings.
No longer worrying about lies, infidelity,
or any type of deceit.
Discerning and
intuition spoke the truth
overturning.
Karma will soon
be returning.
This is the truth and a warning!
The tables will begin turning!

Roaching
In shadows, secrets silently we keep,
Roaching, hidden hearts in shadows deep.
A dance of secrecy, a delicate art,
Concealing love, but breaking no heart.
In whispers, we maintain this charade,
Multiple paths, in darkness we evade.
A web of tangled threads we weave so tight,
Roaching in the night, love's hidden flight.
With veiled intentions, our hearts we guard,
A clandestine romance, oh

A Cheater Into the Bottle
Cheater into the bottle,
His wife loved him so much ,
One day she woke up and found his husband
into the bottle near the main door.
She was so confused ,
She could not bottle up that terrible situation .
She took the bottle to the wizard ,
She was told that her husband had

The Race To End Infidelity
Phwwwwwhht!
Went the high pitched airy sound
From the tiny plastic whistle
And off the competitors raced
Vroom!
The car engines revved
One Male driver with a Mistress in Toyota
Another Female driver with no one in a Honda
Zap!
The race began
Toyota ahead
Honda Behind
Kakpum!
Came the screeching Honda sound
Like the bad guy's tires
In a cops-and-robbers chase
Shreeeerchhhh!
Came the halting Toyota

In Fire
How would it feel if you've to breath your last in fire?
Everything your heart loves, be cast; aghast! in fire!
Living can't see afterlife which weakens beliefs:
You'll decompose to soil or God will cast in fire?
I never thought of having your corpse in my arms;
Your death in my life is a massive blast in fire!
All combustibles

Infidelity
an
act of
betrayal;
simple as that.
to dismiss it as
a "mistake" is hogwash.
whoever cheats on a spouse
understands the consequences.
it's a clear warning sign to exit.
cheaters are often repeat offenders.
