Shiftily Poems


Premium MemberPrior To Intent

Line of inquiry:

"hearts set up a vibration 
echoing as wordless intent
mind translates in symbols
flight of our soul’s ascent
is intent then a stirring
of soul with God conferring"



My one heart as a part of humanity's great heart,
spiritually holds the indwelling God presence as sought.
A human hold shiftily slants and grows knots tied fraught
with false-held, gloomy feels that egos and fears impart.

Divine truths dawn in our souls thru imagination,
not from human workings but graces gifts in-working.
Imagination can stop fears from falsely out-working
and foil mankind's believed limits of false accreditation.

In still solitude, spiritual truths as held in our being
meet our consciousness, our divinity's hidden place
in which our indwelling Christ gives ALL with God's grace
and intellect joins intuition too seek a soul's true freeing.

Through spiritually held faith one is belief aligned
in God's power, greater than any fear episode
man may encounter or engineer to earth upload.
No one or thing can malign what our Father designed.

My faith would never crumble feeble as styrofoam 
when the worst that could happen is I'd get to go home.

Heres a man trying to bridge, a route to sanity along a ridge'
He's being hit.' with the same old twaddle' 
As his so called betters loudly squabble'
I recall a board and stick' used 2020; they must think think us thick?
That with much mod tech, and breifing easy to do)
Thise ww2 methods, we would not see through?
It shows indeed utter contempt; of humans from the 50s'
The sacrifice, that they were first targeting shiftily'
It was gain the grandparents.' pull the younger in.'
One life lost was one to many, 'yet when the nhs needs some tin?
Lives are ten a penny ' they'll take the strikes and try to trash
As today the truth runs rampant throughought the land
Its aversaries have really now lost, the countrys trust.
Then some with spine stand; on the settling dust.' 
Mr Bridgnd is Just one of many ' such people would incline to heal '
But all the liars; just aren't ready to' apologise, of genocides steal'
In the (long dead narrative) they, still strive to hide.'
I doubt that many, 'will'  last out this ride.?

Stench of Betrayal

Her fake perfume smelled of cheap musk,
             tobacco and passion flowers,
    the stench of betrayal lingered long
                after she had shiftily backpedaled  
    

Musk is a class of aromatic substances commonly used as base notes in perfumery. They include glandular secretions from animals such as the musk deer, numerous plants emitting similar fragrances, and artificial substances with similar odors.    Ewwww.....who knew?  No wonder. 

Wikipedia of course.

Somewhat Suspicious

Somewhat Suspicious

He sure seemed to be somewhat suspicious;
Then thought that things were surreptitious
And often had started out being stupendous
Thinking about people who were pretentious.

Or maybe make shiftily soon start to mention
Preposterous people can be at a convention
And some have said that the beauty of it all
Is how and why everyone I seem to appall. 

And if hills and mountains came alive again
While we were going through thick and thin
When what you needed was God's consent
You started to repent and ran for President.

So all the possible people started to scatter
When they saw how I mixed up my batter
And no one ever ended up out of any line
My biscuits were about to rise and shine.

As soon as all of the gravy had been added
And my billfold with money now was padded
Found myself remotely among maybe a few
Poets seeking attention who up it just drew.

All of  the poets  patience was all worn out
Read disappointing poems without a doubt
Unusual behavior  they did start to display
Disastrous  poems  were found in disarray.

Premium MemberWhen You Visit My Page

It behooves me to tell you this but when you visit my page

You open yourself up to some very creepy events

For instance, you will be carrying on like it was a normal day

When suddenly you'll burst out into incontrollable laughter

Just hope and pray there's no one around

Especially when you're attending the funeral of a friend

Also if your applying for a new job

And the interviewer asks you if you've ever had a brush with the law

It's not a good idea to look around shiftily

Quickly put your hand where you might be packing some heat

And tell the interviewer you were once a member of the FBI

So this is just an advanced warning

Be prepared and don't schedule any serious business meetings

It could mean your job... don't say I didn't warn you!
