While I Whisper

With tendencies towards modes abhorrent, I operate
    Hone deterrence to deserved carnal pleasure consolidate
    Intentional extension of potential paths provoke
    Libidinous grasping of bliss platter's swift revoke
    Elysium eviction accepts anguish for apple crisp taste
    

    Impaired paradise jags a vagabond, journey's ardour 
    Want stimulates striving, stiff splinter of suffered strappado
    Harvest achieved after toil has farmer famished
    Indebted unto a sliding spiral, subsided vanquish
    Sacrilege accounts for devious mortals' imminent waste
    

    Pain prescribed for impiety wraps breath in challenge
    Embarrassed to decay, by greedy big ego enchanted 
    Rid of Eden's pardon, shield of shame, always disgraced

Shadowland

 Shadowland 

Chained to the addiction of tempting Fate 
What if I told you that my life was once like yours?
Torn between love and hate
A shadow silhouette lurking between life and death
Fuelled by an emptiness to which I couldn’t relate

Caution to the wind of besting the best, 
A devious test?
Sweet sensations winning an egotistical contest
Life on the edge, merely a precarious precipice
Exhilarated ego threw flames to the flame
The fire inside couldn’t be tamed 

Comforts of home failed to exist
Love I yearned for endeavoured to resist 
 Mind effortlessly lied, failing to grasp the illusion 
between confused, lost and utter delusion
Life on the streets a means beyond the dare
Sink or swim baby, did anyone care?

Till the one eventful day when I chanced it too far 
Catastrophic event out of nowhere in shape of a car 
A sickening thud 
My frivolous life paid in blood 
My death in vain and loss of blooming years
Too late like acidic rain flowed those tears 

 What if I told you if you don’t already know?
The concise connotation 
through electric flashes of blue and red
 of the loudest despairing dread
 When they zipped the bag and pronounced you dead? 

And you become a glimmer that nobody sees
  and the silent scream that nobody hears
Except other shadows between worlds
  In an intermundane space 
Torn between abstract, physical and a forgotten face 

Temptation came as I sat here waiting 
To switch sides, she urgently advised me
I saw through her guise, this diabolical entity
I’m not an Angel that fits in your regular category
 
So, I spat in her eye and called her a name
Oops! sorry Lord forgive me I know you heard
Some of my old sass remains
Still new to the game
Yes, understood, it’s a crying shame.

So back to my story
Redemption came in the grand scheme 
I was one of the fortunate few redeemed
So, take heart, kid, abandoned to this shadowland 
 Not anymore
No more a wandering weary soul lost
Fate was not kind it was never your fault

Conducting your journey 
to me the charge has been given
Through a leap of faith all is forgiven

On Friends

They Call themselves friends , but then they deceive you.
Their hearts are merely full of evny and treacherousness.
They plot to exploit you and take advantage.
They are only friends for benefits.
They seek only friends with benfits.
The minute you cannot help or assist them, they leave or elope.
When you can offer them something they tag you the nicest friend.
The minute you are broke or broken you cannot see them of find them.
For you are now no use to them.
They forsake you just so.
They exibit not one iota of loyalty or sincerity or stickability.
they are soo devious it's not funny.
But Remember they are your friends.
Yea yet they are friends. Friends to the end. Only what end?
Yet noty all friends are like that, there are a few true true friends.
Uncondional, consumate, most genuine, not mimic.
Cherish them most kindly and warmly.

Premium Member Silhouette of Menace

The sun sank on the transit,
took away colors of the chameleon sky,
the masked face of clever craft 
made me walk on the dark garden path.

In the sinister night of broken dreams,
I didn’t hear the footfall of evil.
The devious intent prowled to devour,
as the facade dissolved in darkness.

In the desolate domain of feral fright,
on the murky ground under dreary sky,
as the creature of night you crept,
stalked the haunted me, I couldn’t hide.

A nightrider you slithered from the wild,
unmasked, you morphed into a brute.
Unsuspecting predator on the hunt,
as sinister sly animal of sin you lurked.

With arcane acumen of trickster devil,
as sordid silhouette of menace you crawled
stealthily into the quintessence of my being,
sucked the sublime ambrosia of my soul.

Touched By An Angel

As His Angels set out with their purpose in hand
To enter into this bout of this back sliding land 
They were to intervene in acting upon God's Word
Though they were to never be seen or even heard

But along their way they went, embellished by God's Grace
For these Angels were sent for what could not be replaced
It was upon their way where devious spirits would linger
For they were sent to pray forming a protecting circle around her 

And they would never leave or even ponder the thought
For God's Love does not deceive destroying all that evil has wrought
And as a new day begins and the Baby ominously kicks about
This Mother in considering her sin begins having some doubt

Maybe come tomorrow she will then have a change in her mind 
Or maybe it will be sorrow in the end that this woman will find
But these Angels made mention that they could use your hand
For if this war is to ever be won we must all come to understand

Good Morning To Betrayal -2-

5...4...3...2......1..GO! 
Get ready to release yourself from deep waters
Land on high grounds
Thrills surrounding your awed temptations

3...2...1.. 
You are ready to take your first flight!!!    
To a wondrous
Space of wonders

Good morning to a space glimpse!

Luminous happiness sweltering
From a secure, sincere sunshine 
Peeking from scarless sun
Careless of the background

Space of wonders
You'll be always remembered 
In my photographing memory
Cherished as my own child
Remain mild...control the ship in a sprinkled space

Space of wonders
How could you mutter those
Floating inspirations?

Tripping on every verse
Keeping track of space life
Full of energy and renewal 

The commotion from Earth
Has been on the duelist 
It's inspired for awhile 
Replaced with a remarkable universe
 
Space of wonders
How could you burn our hearts with threatening passion?
Hugging us in compassion
How could you mutter those
Floating aspirations? 
Cherished as my own 
favorite memory 

Good morning to space life
Devious and uncontrollable
As slick as many criminals
Working as a one big team
To circulate around
The main sequence of trouble

Glisten as the star-filled sky
Along with warm, heartening rain

Good morning...
To you, oh glorious soul!

Your vision shown in space
Rolling in your circular face
Thrilling and tripping unsteadily
With an unstable way of living 

Close the scene for a lightyear moment
Feel our diversity

Watch the stars roam about like syrup rubbing against a soft, puffy 
pancake 

Take your flight, you sunlit fairy
On a cloudless, scarlet sky

Shining as the sun
Swiftly diving down as a surfing dude
Open as the driven waves,
trusting the possible tasks

Put your task aside for now 
Save it for leftovers
We are arriving in our zoo-like cage
Suitable for excitement and ominous worries

Welcome royal destiny!
Arriving on the doorstep of your front door

Along with a letter saying:

"Goodbye to midnight bliss!
Good morning to a kiss of gleaming space of wonder!"

The Unsent Letter

I am trying to hold back all my tears,
  While writing to you about all those abusive years.
  When did you decide to turn into a monster?
   You treated me as a prisoner, who was captured.

   Sitting, here I try to make sense of all your heartless actions.
   Your hatred towards us was unscrupulous and devious.
   Although I tried my best to be an obedient and loving wife,
   You cut my heart into pieces let it bleed, and almost end my life.
    I had to endure so much pain and suffering,
    I prayed for an abrupt ending.

    Many nights I contemplated taking my life and committing suicide.
    But then I realized I could not be selfish like you, I have to stay alive.
    My kids need me, my sweet angels.
     Who also have to endure your rage, to see it was very painful.

     You thought we will end up on the street,
     When you stole my house to get married.
     Finally, my voice is free, that is why I am writing to you today.
     To tell you, for all your evil deeds you will pay.

     Although you will never read my thoughts,
     This unsent letter represents my unspoken words.

Feelin' This Shame Without a Name -Part 2-

Tell me where is that paradise road
Tell me is it my heavenly haven or my sweet, sweet abode 
I'm sick of your plastic love
Sick of your heartless smiles... 
Sick of going through your trials...
We're driving on different lanes 
And there's a feeling of abandonment that I can't shake off
I can see the rage seeping out of your ears
I can tell you're smoking mad...I can smell it in your breath
I can sense your devious actions you do behind my back...you're uttering lies to me again...
I've been
feeling this...x2 shame
Inside me x3 
Without a name x2
Don't give up...
Just keep fighting back tears
Don't erupt...
Just keep on facing your nightmares 
Your countless fears
Stay strong till the end...
Dear friend 
Embrace the silence...
Don't fence me in with your morbid luck... Don't suffocate me with your deceptive tools 
Embrace the silence...
Don't fence me in with your careless doubting 
I'm sick of your crying...
Sick of your lying
I won't listen to your lies
Sick of your voice...sick of your disease
Sick of your dreams and fantasies 
Sick of your love...it wears off on me
Sick of your existence... i wish I could live in pure ecstasy 
I've been
feeling this...x2 shame
Inside me x3 
Without a name x2

Premium Member I Cannot Tell a Lie

Men's minds are devious at the best of times

Also twisting their stories

I should know, I'm one of dem der guys

Pretty sure I'm no different than 98% of my fellow males

It's inbred into our psyche and of this I'm sure

We're really damn proud of it

However I'm a straight shooter

At the expense of my fellow males, I apologize

Hate blowing the whistle on youse guys

But I can't help it... as Georgie once said

"I cannot tell a lie"

Everything and I mean EVERYTHING

That comes out of my mouth

Is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

So help... Z-Z-Z-A-A-A-A-A-P-!
