A liar is a liar however they conspire, Not showing their intentions or true desire, They manipulate by not saying or speaking their truth, They know how to hold back information from you, They test your waters by not opening up, They don't tell the whole story they just say enough, Some can look as innocent and as shiny as gold, But...

The human body may be a marvel, yet the aesthete prefers his were marble or gold or some other precious metal with a life approaching to eternal! For flesh and blood fail miserably as a hope suitable for longevity, requiring daily sustenance for hopeful future permanence. Then, too. human flesh isn’t practical, it offers life that’s neither long nor natural; and who wants a life...

Goldfish and a handheld mirror mated. Tabloids and truth are rarely conflated. She has a dinky dorsal. Plus, her mind's never full. I saw myself in him, as transparent as I am dim. Witty, no, Big Bird's listed as her closest kin. Waters...

For years I refused to drink beer, any beer, awful stuff to my taste. When I did, though, rare as it was, it was only to “fit in” – and to avoid snide and unflattering remarks from friends when I didn’t.. Beer has a long history reaching back to the days of the pharoahs. Even the artisans who...

He said 'owwww' as she said 'ouchhh'. On a Saturday night. 'Cause back in the day they could hit the dance floor, leaving others grinning , taking notes of their steppin' toes. As the effortless sway from side to side, made them smile, music just right, jamming throughout the night. The DJ was spinning records from the beginning, to the ending,...

Keeping to the left or right side of the road, By most is done right, And seldom to chance left. Yet once on the footpath, We forget that which is right, Which leaves no room left, To cross to the left or right, Making room for those on the left, Which should be right, But is too often left....

A sudden drizzle gushed along the street, That I wiggled out , romping and playing In my cotton jumpshirt as summer cooled, To allow a downpour of monsoon rain. Swerving through puddles where debris Gathered around little tots' feet, Our lithe bodies slip-skidded, glided On a roller-coaster ride of muddy suds... what fun! Then, I picked dingy...

I saw within the midst of it all, The language, the idols.. the culture and history of the fall, As if they owned the language and created these words long ago, And the population just doesn't know, Groups upon groups of layers unseen, Claiming this is how we built our societies, Staging fools to ruin and desensitizing their beliefs, When Jesus came...

What I saw didn't match what I thought I knew, To be you.... It scared me for a moment because you really had me fooled, Standing for something for the world to see, Is it for show or in your heart what you believe, Sorcery at it's best, all that glitters isn't gold, And underneath the makeup is a lost and...
