Short Betrayals Poems

Vivacious urgency amidst the masquerade of faces
Intoxicating senses, driving madness to insanity.
Intense betrayals soundlessly distract, unmasking secrets....

Contagion of anxiety,  
a blanketing wind 
Deafening all
with the force of its emptiness
Reclaiming the silence
—in betrayals of fear

Birth
Crawl
Tears
Steps
Laughter
Smiles
Fears
Careers
Diseases
Betrayals
Denials

Full circle

Death nears
Tears
Laughter
Frowns
Dead clowns
Dead
In ground
No sound
Silence
Abounds...

heartless 

small and mean
dissecting a heart

peer into it closely
unfurl its soft red petals

poke and prod
with promises, then betrayals

it will last just long enough.
until you are bored....

Peace
in quiet
today some souls
will find
          no peace
no quiet
trapped in a time warp 
with desolate and terrifying dangers and threats
battered betrayals
alone
forgotten
silent
where no poetry could help....

Money,
is not as powerful as revenge

The Dollar,
can never buy back a vendetta

Fury,
cuts sharp into a monetary corpse

Bleeding red,
 the green trails of betrayals past

Decades passed in memory's dust.
Too many betrayals between us.
For material things, she always lust.
She ate the bread, left me it's crust.
Let it go, forgive, I know I must but
in my mind I just can't trust.
She ate the bread, left me it's crust....

Babbling bantering behind bashful backs
Bolstering bizarre behavior between brawling brothers
Before bogus betrayals bragging both bravo 
Benevolent beguile beginning bequeath  
Borrowed broker buoyancy best brainchild
Beneath broken bureaucrats breach

Could a love poem right wrongs
Will you erase the betrayals 
Am I that forgiving of you of me
Can cupid fly an arrow despite
the bluest tears sliding down heart
Is love such a powerful potion
That infidelity can not decrease
I love you still and always will
But is that enough?...

Only one
Love and pain 
Tears and emotion
Sacrifice and betrayals
Royalty and disappointment
Hopes and hopelessness
Worries and fears 
Suffering and wailing
Isolation and rejection
Sorrow and sadness
All to a 
Body and blood 
In a land of turmoil
When you questions my survival
Remember 
God remains the 
Only one

A nascent cry
demands the signature
of space.
I will start the self destruction-

clawing back
on the land of
betrayals.
The rule of sky was at stake.

Trees were burning
and the birds
want to grasp
the stark reality of notional violence.

In dark hour
I know not words
to lift the eyelids
the cloud, the flowers, the blood !

Now I am used to
betrayals.
I don’t hit back
in the vanishing light.

Very frightening,
I will say.
Sightless bats hovering
round your head.

Have started playing
the game with the nettle.
I will take the stings
and give you back honey.

An intimate kiss of a
naked beetle.
Are you coming for the
last supper ?

Love
has the property
of not dying...
Naturally
he doesn't die...
But love migrates...
migrates to others
hearts that accept it...
love naturally,
emotionally comes...
but naturally
does not depart,
love just leaves
for reasons that are
independent of it:
The mistakes,
the betrayals,
the disloyalties,
and the human
misconduct...!...

The high-class Prostitute life
Her life full of secrets and lies
Untruths and betrayals are rife
But this life she vehemently denies

Her daughter, left to fend for herself
No choice but to grow up quick
Her needs shoved to the back of a shelf
Forgotten as the dust layers grow thick.

No a cutter
no
scars yes
self inflicted indirectly
addicted to the cycle
of made up rejection
back streaked
from lies believed
breastplate deflated
promises almost kept 
just another ride
to end with my stomach in my throat
eyes stretched and slightly burnt from
betrayals made in dark and tight spots
The wound of you
carried deep
stitched tight
The wound of you

Poets friends!
      The common world
     it is so full of disputes
     and betrayals ,,, so ugly and
     intriguing...
     With so many personal differences
     that we who do benign, and
     of the beauty ... of peace and joy,
     we cannot leave herbs
     weeds  as those, conduct
     us to rage ...!
     Let us unite in our work:
       lovely poetic welfare to
        life...

I am the Keeper of Secrets
I have heard all men's tales
Of murder, adultery
And other betrayals

Their stories come to me
Through back doors at night
Their compromised souls
Caught in desperate plight

I'm the Keeper of Secrets
You never would know
I make no judgments
No cursings of woe

I hear both sides of stories
Only one thing is sure 
That both sides are liars
No one speaks the truth....

Trust is never clear, but is often blurry
Brutal honesty given out loud, often met with fury
At times I've had guts to spill, but no one's trustworthy
Betrayals of confidence with friends, most just run away with hurry
The corpse of my blatant truth
Circled by vultures since my youth
Deceitful when true friendship calls
Don't like this reflection, perhaps break the mirrors on your walls...

I dont want to die
But i dont want to live
Atrocities done
I can not forgive
Let go of the past
Quit reliving the pain
Lies and betrayals 
Stuck deep in my brain
Emotions time warped
Again fresh and new
The questions rehashed
Everything I've gone through
Reach out your hand
Stay in the now
Break the cycle
Help me somehow
I dont want to live
I dont want to die
Trapped in the trauma
Ever wondering WHY...

I have a thing with date
 I have a date with dates
 I have dates with deadlines

 Some dates are treasured
 While some are dreaded
 Memorable dates looked upon
  with relish
 Some dates are better not 
  remembered,
 For the pains they evoke
 For the scars they remind me of.

 Birthdays, marriage and anniversaries               
  are dates remembered with pomp
 Deaths, betrayals and separations
  are dates engraved in our memories...

my symbolic house
my purple castle
invaded by red clowns
a dialogue
contradicting personal icons
denying synthesis
denying art
trespassing
poaching
unbalancing decentring crucifiers
tearing the paper they make of my mind
tearing tissue
cells sinew flesh blood
a pavlov’s laboratory
for a crowd
appropriation
depersonalisation
obliteration
constructs and betrayals ad infinitum
a teleological structuralism
for others

Mirror, mirror
You double edged sword
We use you
to straighten our look
before 
going into the world

But also
you show our flaws,
a wrinkle here,
a blemish there,
to say absolutely nothing 
About our hair! 

Events in life,
conflict and tragedy 
betrayals and strife
can act 
like that mirror
to reveal our flaws

Or our mistakes
if you please 
But they give you 
a chance 
to correct
your thoughts and actions

Letting  go
Of the dream
That you would rescue me
From my benign existence

Letting go
Of the pain
Of the despair that I plunged into
When I gave you my heart

Letting  go
Of your betrayals
Of your twisted manipulation
Cleverly disguised as a loving request

Letting  go
Of your cruelty
Of your madness
Of your memory

Farwell,  forever my love
It's been frightening
But, the important thing is
That this chapter of my life has come to an end...

Father, Father
Where have you been?
Waiting for you to join me for tea and crumpets
It has been a while
I lost my smile
Cannot connect with you
Dreams and expectations are too grandiose for me
My strides may be small, but stable
Cannot be compromised like before
I have grown from a rebel to a healer
Introspection fills my thoughts
Looking back on past regrets
Broken promises
Wicked betrayals 
I see it now
But, the biggest regret I have is loosing you...

It can make us happy
It can make us cry
It's so full of emotions
It's so full of warmth
It has wrapped us up, with love and care
It's holding on to our dear life, everyday.
The same, very heart, might have
Gone through a trauma 
Faced the dark side of the world
Faced the cruelty and it's betrayals 
It might have trembled with fear
Pounded to survive.
Yet, this heart, its so very strong
It's so very brave
It has carried us, on it's shoulder 
All alone, all the way....
