Afro Samauri,
Ready to end this charade,
Leaps into action.
He brings his sword down,
Slicing him into pieces.
The perfect divide....

Nothing lasts forever,
         even the laughter fades
            before the crying...
         Only the unknown
            remains... !...

Mask
That which is us,
Is not truly us,
It is just a façade,
A charade for the public,
A mask until our true selves,
Are revealed and we are free....

"Do you have an 
'Inner Critic'
inside your head
'raining on your parade...?'

Instead, replace with love,
for all else 
is just a charade."...

if i'm a meaningless fool stranded

Stereotype Enforced By a Storm
While I appreciate the vacation
it would have been better if it were paid.
Funds lessened by nature’s aggravation,
lends credence to the starved artist charade....

'Tis said that Mercury is in retrograde.
Is it just an astrophysical charade —
An illusory cosmic joke being played?
Is the wee beggar's energy bill unpaid?...

Charade
Neurotic nauseas stomach knots of graceful plastic smiles 
Finally expose themselves in feathered melodious stretches 
And drip salty satisfaction among depraved spectators....

Last Charade
Woefully, the footlights dim,
the magic fades—the chorus grim

A curtain falls as memory fades, 
the ending near—one last charade

Sounds Like
A poet played a game of sound in a charade
the words before him kept marching on parade
but in his wanton haste
he lost the foolish chase
and the poem within was then enslaved....

Trump and Another Charade

Trump chose to caste another charade,
While he had stood  in front of parade;
We were knowing,
Off still  showing;
More trouble for many people he made.

Red Stocking Charade
Red socks canvassing
Frosted mantel rosy hue
Blue lights masquerade
Stuffers peak above the white trim
Brown, blue eyes recconoiter

Glass House
Do you find yourself
under those stones that you’ve thrown
Pummeled with self-hatred
forever alone

Looking up in delirium
Goliath parades
Blinding your vision
—a gravesite charade

It's Hard To Hate Someone You Love
Be on your own, no charade
False protection in façade

Your lies are smart, the way you move
Many follow this belief in you

Places you go, once imagined
Reality hurts in the depth and fathom

It’s hard to hate someone you love...

Ages past, the words that caused the rift
still, today, so far apart they drift.
As time recedes, old memories fade
bitterness remains their raw charade.
New slights imagined, old stories told
so, in icy cold, they both grow old....

Washed and Scrubbed
Intellectual hygiene…
the Poet declines

That dull antiseptic,
that deadens your mind

Once washed and then scrubbed,
the truth a charade

Academic consensus
—the Muse in her grave
