coloreds dawning
a little, sunny lit dark
the clouds betrayed lights

your hand not tipped
playing your cards close to your chest
stoic, no twitches or tremors
never betraying
what you hold
I lay down the queen of hearts...

Tiger Woods won the Masters
Rescued his career from ruin and disaster
   The boos have turned to cheers; forgotten are the years
   Of betraying his wife, destroying his family's life...

be authentic
be true
to the song
playing in your heart 

there is no need
to contract consciousness 
by betraying the muse
reverberating within

imitation as flattery
scars the soul
recognise and celebrate 
your uniqueness...

BIPOLAR
Buoyant joyful spirits
but a garb, tormented
binary mind, prey to
betraying, grave  mood swings.
Brazeness doth  give way
brusquely to despondence;
blues to sadly,  hold sway.

If betraying Jesus, Judas had hope!
If Peter dared to avoid Judas-rope!
If Rome and Judah ever knew Jesus!
If all loved him for no selfish wishes!
If Good Friday a day that's very good!
If Risen Lord before each of us stood!

ABUSE
Aiming anger at another to harm them,
Betraying the trust of another to belittle them.
Use of control in a negative way for personal gain,
Satisfying self by inflicting pain on another.
Erasing your own happiness by robbing one of theirs....

Brow furrows.
Hand shakes.
   Stay inside,
   a strict voice says.
   No breaks allowed.

Yet uncalled
they slip slide down
   unbidden,
creep out the corners,
wet the lash,
drip the cheek.

Oh dear dear
Another soul leak,
My eyes betraying me
again....

Defect
Crushed cracked
Smashing snapping shattering
To live the life you want, leave the life that's broken
Betraying forsaking abandoning
Disloyal turncoat

Brother Mine

The pain so graven
Man betraying man
Emotions fly to intercept
And save a failing heart
Not important, not essential
Try; try to push the knowing down
            to places not visited.
To forgive? To overlook, to salvage..
Essential for survival.
But not forgotten....

Velvety touch  to  your   
Angelic  face 
Lights  up  my days 
Each and  every ounce  of a  second 
Next  to  you 
Time  preciously pauses  for  my 
Intense  look  into  your  charming  eyes  that 
Never  seems  to  stop  betraying 
Everlasting and  burning  love 
Shared  between us....

Pandering both sides against the middle,
duplicity won the day
To neither stand nor then be chased,
the coward has his way
Stealing the peace, betraying the war,
to live is then to die
The one from the many, the many now lost
—shame the binding tie

(Ronald McDonald House: June, 2021)...

My covetous nature 
Has left you in a state of perturbation
Betraying my diffident manner
As if I have been possessed
Maybe I am
For what agitates you
Torments me endlessly
Like a ghostly presence roaming the earth 
In search of peace
I will never find it
Because jealousy is my master
That rules over me...

(F)ully trusting others
(R)eaching them with care
(I)nviting them into your life
(E)ncouraging their strengths
(N)ever betraying them
(D)oing what you enjoy together
(S)acrifice and willingly giving
(H)aving fun, building memories
(I)n time to remember with laughter
(P)ositive energy to last forever

Such hideous tyranny,
My eyes, betraying my essence-
Two lone tears gather and fall
down the sides of my face.
Voice cracking, Jazz notes.
My skin, so full of secrets
Buried, crowbar wrenching it open
Desolation, in spite of myself
So, so, stupid
so, so, alive
so unbelievably, unimaginably, unfeasibly,
existing.
All the time....

Icy black silk, but no, not quite
More on like a sinuous pupil
Deep and cool
Betraying only its surface
Slipping between banks of ivory cream
Frothy, bubbling pearls hang from its lips
And tiny tawny soldiers from ivory stand
In sweeping magnificence
So calm and stony
One flowing sheet of inky ebony
Strikingly beautiful and proud...

Sorry for being at my job, 
While you were at the party,
Sorry for thinking of you,
When you were forgetting about me.

Sorry for trusting your heart, 
While you were betraying mine.
Sorry for following you, 
While you and him stopped to dine.

Sorry for the scene,
What was his name?
It really doesn’t matter,
I was the blame......

Confined like a caged animal
Perpetually encased in lead flesh
No longer entrusted to freedom
Faith turned bitter with rebuke
Hatred overwhelming curiosity’s innocence
Power betraying underlying greed
Eternally ruining peace’s realm
Endless shadows formed under serpentine chaos
Repeating continuously into the dark
Forever at a battle with light...

I talk to the trees because they never talk back.  Such gracious confidants they are, so non-judgmental; never condemning or criticizing.  Of course, I do realize they talk among themselves; still they keep my secrets.  That’s one of the many duties of trees.

Trees in a forest;
Silent sentinels never
Betraying one’s trust.

Your job shall be on the line
And, sure, Agatha’s and mine,
If on our salad our customers dine
And taste our wine
But fail to feel fine
This betraying with faces frozen
And a wish another hotel had chosen
The looks of one served oceanic brine
Eyes with contemplated murder shine …

So, over that we won’t pine
You do for a stitch in time that saves nine....

never die or cease from not be. A constant reassurance of eternal destiny. I don't 
have to worry or cry from loosing him, he will live for ever therefore never betraying 
me. Thus, I am happy because he will never stop loving me. Now, I want to live till 
death expires me....

Helpless and hoping
I can continue coping
With the desolate feelings
That are tearing at my heart.

Lonely, I’m the only
That’s not phony
In the drama
Enacted in my mind.

Broken and unhealthy
I know that I’m guilty
Of betraying the integrity
Of my soul.

Sad and lamenting
As my life is near its end
With the sad legacy I’ve left
To my humanity friend....
