Short Bluffing Poems

Sunset cascading 
bluffing mountains, 
Dainty skylines the moon undress
Beautiful mother nature....

As aces appeared in John's hand
"Aces, hurray!" Broke out coughing,
Then caught his breath as he fanned 
Himself while artfully bluffing....

A law abiding man
Jumps out of logics
Bluffing in public
A handful of simple tricks
An abundance of laughters 
But no request
For real rolling coins 
Even for himself
Who works wonders...

Truth
                 Real, Factual
    Enlightening, Touching, Moving
Fidelity, Sincerity, Honesty, Constancy
     Deceiving, Bluffing, Misleading
                 False, Invalid
                        Lies...

She said she’d go to the police,
but she was bluffing,
so I went to them today, 
and she can’t do nothing 

I’ve called her bluff 
I’ve had enough, 
her mouth is crude 
her face is rough 

one thing gets me the most 
personality of a guff o’gross...

No Almond Joy for coconut
Please don't suggest roasting chestnuts
Stifled by sage and pumpkin spice
Cauliflower rice won't entice
Though blasphemous, I'm not bluffing
I am not thankful for stuffing
He picks out onions, celery
All for love of finicky me.

with half a home, broken girl
you live your life in two

your feet will always roam, tired girl
with a definition of happiness so misconstrued

always giving, selfless girl
how long till you run dry?

perpetually smiling, bluffing girl
will anyone realize it's a lie?...

Such obstreperous obliqueness
filling a guess.

Blissful in my obliviscence,
warm in silence.

Opulent eyes obfuscate words,
I feel swords.

All those obsequious rewards,
they mean absolutely nothing. 
You’re unequivocally bluffing.

Filling a guess warm in silence I feel swords....

Start

Excessive familiarity in a relationship breeds contempt
Aloofness shows signs of scorn
Bluffing about self in order to impress
Helps in piercing it like a thorn
Truth and honesty are the foundations
On which healthy relationships grow
Mutual trust then manifests itself
To make it strong and glow
End...

Coding of the flesh in time
Etched glances glean off
Sundry mosaic, and appetite for creature

Hidden in back rooms
Devouring of every saint
That walked marble floors

Personal, gruesome cigarette scars 
Stitched across army jackets
Bluffing government, reaching thought mist

Vultures circle delicately
Enthralled in the laden mist
Gliding seamless across the sky...

Nothing was beholden.
Colony counts were perfect.
You were never guaranteed and exit.

I am stalked by lips 
of a black tulip holding
a moonbeam.

The world moves
wearing a shell of emptiness
in a cosmos, inviolable.

Aggrandizement
beyond the bluffing.
More beliefs and many withdrawls.

You will not kill me ?
Half-way to soothing words
of ecstasy.

Summer deals its first hand
no bluffing behind her eyes
depression heated to irritating comfortless
catching tunes upon the air
that haunt from summered pasts
the clink of ice on crystal
Mowers scream from close by
a yapped chorus bites the air
the haze lifting from cement
for a moment ripples reality
then a falling wind chills
with the burning shadows
of anything stopping the sun's stretch...

You know not about fear
       when in the spotlight of 
your rage
       snarled in distorted
ugly

your hatred 
       twisting
       my unguarded spine
stunting small bones
   blustering
        bluffing
concealing weakness
       too plain to miss
as
      you pound down 
walls
      and
      hammer
ineffectively on
      my resolve
to
leave you
to
  your
      own
creation...

Blah
Blah
Blah

I’m sorry, what did you say?

Blah di Blah
Blah di Blah
Blah di Blah

Whatever

Blah di Blah di Blah
Blah di Blah di Blah
Blah di Blah di Blah

This is complete nonsense
Have you no conscience?
This means nothing
You’re just bluffing
Call this art?
You should tear it apart
It has no feeling
Most unappealing
Put it to scrap
This load of crap
Sod off

Blah, Blah, Blah
Hah, Hah, Hah!...

Do you have to become what you are? 
I was a paradox of my absolute self
When catching my shadow cast a tree 
As someone else
Looking frightened and fastidious
My once obvious attributes 
Suddenly became an innately alien reflection
Curveballing my senses
In a whirlpool of cosmic derangement
I lost my brother of the sun
In a milliseconds bluffing realization
Shh! Back to the concrete focus
Where the mercenary kerosene flows...

I don't miss anybody...
I don't miss anything...
Nobody wants the reasons, I defy the explanations
These paths that we bump into,
The mistakes that you crush to
The remorse d sorry
The sad love stories
These small gifts must be talking to me
Somebody is regretting and I am bluffing about it
Today my silence is guilty
But again your violence is not innocent
Look I am still the same lad..I haven't changed much like you imagined
I can be younger only if you let me darling.....

Of course I didn’t quit,
Although my appetite was snuffed.
I had to sample everything
Until my gut was stuffed.

The hostess said she’d made a lot – 
We knew she wasn’t bluffing – 
For there was such variety
Beyond the bird and stuffing.

Since every dish was yummy,
Just one bite was not enough;
And so into our eager mouths
That food we had to stuff.

Today there is a price to pay – 
My stomach’s looking puffed; 
But on Thanksgiving Day, I can’t
Prevent becoming stuffed!...

Triggers

Soft & loud
Here comes the storm cloud

Sssh the silent treatment
Meant for cruelty intent

Everyone’s the enemy
Even if I don’t agree

Stomping, slamming,huffing & puffing
Saying he’s only joking and bluffing

Ignoring, interrupting, intimidation
Only leads to darkness and deflation

Rolling his eyes and being dismissive
Thoughts of not to live

Invisible is how I feel
He says it’s no big deal

Triggers are all around
Without any sound
