They come to her hungry - hopeful To be fed facile fantasy, a script he held Stowed in boyhood through decades Recessed where sweating shame dwelled Invisible while he achieved accolades Gridiron big man outperform boastful Invited him - initial meeting innocent, ice cream Daddy intrigued by her earnest licking nimble Turquoise tip of nose - How is...

Ruse of the evil grimace also known as Blondie
Ruse of the evil grimace also known as "Blondie" A real hunter (and huntress), she stands five feet and tips the scales at most one hundred pounds.

The Imbalancing Ruse
Fresh and serene droplets rest in galore As the dawn smiles on them to adore The tiny prettiness in spectral mode Downs from out of the heavenly abode ; In dainty drips and drizzles the elixir Enlivens and recharges the aqua-spur Beyond the brim and out of norm It sinks the floater and defaces the firm - Mounds or...

Drop the Ruse Continue Abuse
Evidently beyond your control they must be less for you to be more A drive beyond Your governess to belittle,discard,abhor declaring self hero or victim Simultaneously Acting so mean Needing to reduce All others to the smoothest satiny sheen Worn by your abrasive ways Chip,chip, Chipping away As you bolster and fluff Bluster enough to keep inner critics at bay Pathetically parading your lack for any and all to see News flash! Never will the likes...

Carrying an ignoble act in mind With a ruse to devour all humankind. A witch will tell you that all will be well If you allow her to cast a charmed spell. Ignore her and find that your soul be cursed By a demon spell that can't be reversed. On Halloween there'll be no redemption No place to hide, no...

Magnify peoples lowest moments then embellish to the extreme ignore all of their accomplishments then beat that same drum until it becomes an angry scream. If that doesn't work sow a juicy lie try to spark a blazing fire pull the tongue from the truth twist -turn -edit - splice. Spread more garbage-attract the mice and you call yourself the news. You're nothing but a tool for...

Garden Club Ruse Finality Part 2
The years passed, things never did get better.. Her Garden Club was the only thing that held her together The mental abuse had taken it’s toll... As far as he was concerned he owned her soul.. She now felt she had no recourse.. And decided she had to find a source.. To end this life as she knew it.. And move on...

Garden Club Ruse Part 1 of 2
For years no one ever had a clue... Of the secret she hid..no one knew.. The child inside her never shed a tear... Although she lived everyday with fear... She grew up never knowing what love was... Till that fateful day, when he met him on the bus.. He was tall and handsome and had a great smile... Knew all the words...

The Great Muse Ruse
Deep within the city of muse A rebellion is taking place The pain and loss is evident On every poet's face A trial of sorts has just begun To find the muse of guilt The city itself has been torn down The city the muse has built The words themselves are walking around Void of inspiration Thinking it has to be a big mistake There's gotta...

World of Ruse
World of ruse ~~~~~~~~~~~ Materialism is transitory Illusory, a derivative of the lacking soul And its need to attain a truth Veiled by the belief of mortality Limitations are a necessity For the sake of the grand tapestry Far too infantile are the masses perceptions An elusive cognitive grasp No, just too simple For all the fools misled by the blind...

Cruel Ruse
Someone’s tied me up, And gagged me. Must be someone’s cruel ruse. I try to breath but it’s no use. The rope is breaking into my skin. Please, Lord, help me, This pain just won’t end. So shoot me now, And end this cruel ruse....
