HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 4
HOW CAN I PRETEND ? PART 4 Innocence, zest, curiosity remain intact protected crimson hymns I earned when Divinity composed a skin of cheetah brown amused at a white chin where my masculine’s fuzzy beard ought to be HE raucously laughed aloud at my horrored ‘Don’t You Dare ! O Great One !’ Then asked ‘What will you...

HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 3
HOW CAN I PRETEND ? PART 3 Pretence lies coffined as Spring makes a call early chincherinchees kissing late winter’s wind knowing empty cupboards will be filled once more perceptions of another timeline where artful wiles and emotionless inserts receive no nods of approval My Love stands oaked in cerebral signature unashamedly chiffon unmoved before North-South, East-West Buddha and Serapis in a visiting...

HOW CAN I PRETEND : PART 1
HOW CAN I PRETEND ? PART 1 How can I pretend when flutters across my chest only prickle as your thought arrives with doubt or hope What is hope anyway ? A flimsy wish built upon a matrix I no longer attune to as Mantis explores my device How can I pretend when staring at a mouldy...

Premium Member The Noise of Pretence
In a space that should hum with focus, Where thoughts flow like ink on paper, I walk the halls, and what do I hear? The clatter of egos—loud, brash, A symphony of insecurity, Each voice a drum pounding louder, Drowning out the quiet rhythm of real productivity. Oh, the harshness of noise! Your chatter like chainsaws, Hacking away the sweet silence, The sanctuary where ideas...

FELICIA
This architectural frame upon your mortal hue Testifies God’s perfection and generosity in creation These compartments of yours that dazzle the eye Are autographs that you are far above angelic beauty Radiant queen among mortals, adorned in attire that beckons angels Like the fallen giants who lost heaven in pursuit of the daughters of men Not even the devout priest...

Our Life of Cheap Pretence
Our Life of Cheap pretense We could watch through a lens For its failures to yield us a half pence Or deliver crisp commonsense; One’s decided airs of pretense A mere sitting on the fence, As one feels not life as it is tense Nor The Original Writer help his pens… I’d start questioning the essence Of A Talkative...

Premium Member Game of Pretence
Game of pretence, is played out everyday Our authentic self, seems to have no say As we go about through needless parlance Social etiquette cause of dalliance Oft saying yes, when we wish to say nay Hypocrisy becoming our mainstay Subterfuge as way of life, here to stay Silencing gentle voice, of our conscience Game of pretence Shifty eyes, lips that lie, thread...

Mask
MASK Under the duvet of sham I laid, Combing in all the naive of me, Putting on thy fake faint smile, Caped in the journey of disguise. I embrace my veil to my beard To cover the dark part of me Never to let the sun smiles it brightness to the scornful wound of my heart And not to receive the cool breeze...

Romantic Twists
One thing they ask ask and ask They ask and answer stays puzzle Every lip's tip remain no drizzle That people's sake past hippos The laughter and lovely rattling Under the rivulet chants and pants Say whatever goes around- And applause of comes around. Initial romantic turns run- leaving the living question restrained For the tickle stimulated laughter And pampers of baby and baby Promising heaven in...

Even You Brutus
EVEN YOU BRUTUS Many are the thoughts in hearts of men, None to decipher it, A smile can be for good and also for evil, None to comprehend it, Handshake can be for unnoticed challenge, The mind has planned mischief and the hand is set to execute it. You were my friend, Swayed by greed you turned the cards against me in secret, And...

Thin Veils of Pretence
Pretence at sacrifice concealed in a translucent veil as inverted altruism soon comes unstuck as its perfidy wears thinner and thinner to engender amazement, bewilderment, embarrassment and bemusement. Shunt aside gifts to the ego you flatter day and night to blight your own life....
