Where Light and Dark Part

Where Light and Dark Part

windows, light fading
bright altar set to atone
dusty red crossroads

Deceptions of the Heart

Deceptions Of The Heart

The quest was a pleasant one
It answered many questions
But the end produced sadness
I said, “Not again”

Songs of Deceit

Harp strings
strangling hope

Promises
swept by disease

Followers
who pile lies upon pies

Day and night
a blur

Deceptions
inside lyrics obscured

Sheep's slaughtered
haven't you heard?

What Is Truth

believing is choice
to believe choice existence
to believe in choice

history shows truths
it is not what one believes
but how one treats others

nothing more to it
no answers no deceptions
no worshiping words

Make Up Your Mind

Choices in life are not easy to make.
Contain two or more selections.
Be aware of which selection you take.
Since sometimes there's no reversions.
Leaving a sequel of deceptions.

THE NATURE OF MIND'S HEART

In reality,
The heart cannot be broken;
But can be deceived:-

Mind minds' deceptions,
Deceived minds, deceive hearts;
Be in awareness:-

Deceive hearts don't break,
But they feel our minds' pain;
Healed minds heal their hearts

The End of Our Story

THE END OF OUR STORY
I did never think our story will come to an end…
You gave me misapprehensions with dreams 
And you made me happy….
But at the end, it was deceptions…
Your fraudulent smile stole my eye…
Don’t be a chicken, don’t hurt me…

Letting Go

Deep within my painful heart that bleeds continuously,
A love so pure but destroyed by lies, deceptions, and anger,
Like water that flowing into the river, I want you to stay,
But “goodbye  my love” I’m letting you go forever.

Clearance

Starring into the Flame
I see nothingness 
After nine
An Image appears
Of lies and deceptions 
Better tread carefully 
The shadow whispers.
I take my broom
And swipe the remaining dust away.
Now the solitude takes over.
I weave my destiny alone!

Are Dreams

Are dreams a false reality, deceptions of a slumbering mind?
Or are these waking moments dreams, waking dreams all silver lined?
And when we close our eyes to sleep, do we leave the real behind?
Or is this but another dream, that wide eyed wakings find?

De-Crystallization

Tight-lipped, transparent, and stuck in a mono-TV
Am I alive or dead? I don't feel pleasure nor pain
Numbness is all I can sense under the pretense
"This is for my sake"

Square-shaped deceptions bind me
A soothing night-sky dimmed the spark in my eye

Silent Deceptions

Truth is always
an exploration of knowledge
we learn, we grow
without empathy and compassion
it all becomes useless

Now the blind see
the deaf hear
the smell of deceit
touches the innocent heart
the taste, burns all hope

Deception
the death of desire

Creative Wriing Workshop

We revel in our deceptions,
Careen in the mallowness
Of the majolica
That is our life.

There are no truths—
Only deals.

The sky this evening
Seems surreal.

This is art.

We are critics
Of the coffee cup,
Knowing what we like.

Those who do,
Will.

A Child's Mind

A child's mind
One of the purest things on earth.
For they know not of lies,
or deceptions.

They speak the truth.
It's all they know.
They speak the truth
and often show

Bluntness isn't always malicious.
Matter of fact...
It can come in 
Total innocence.

For Children of War and Other Deceptions

For Children of War and Other Deceptions

The load of time
weigh heavy 
on the yokes of life;
the unshelled shelled.
Gone.
Innocence of children
preyed upon;
life failed to root itself.

Janus face war genuflects
craving forgiveness; 
praising its necessity.

'cause You Owe Me That Much

Evoke my 
Emotions
Make it real
Make me feel

Romance me
With advances
Make me care
Make me swear

Grab a hold of me
Swooning
Make me weak
Make me break

Tactful deceptions
Whispered
Make me forget
Make me regret

Wake me come
Morning
Make me go
Let me go

Left To Spew

A heartbeat beyond perception,
  the verse becomes alive

Its arrow fixed, its prey in sight,
 —new truth to hunt old lies

As light grows scarce, it draws its bow,
  with aim both clear and true

To strike deceptions middle eye,
 —the devil left to spew

STATUS QUO


      

We live in shadows of uncertainty,
and the brightness of certainty... so badly
We have unlearned the world, and now
we are flooded
in true deceptions that
swear lies
as if they were the pure truth..
but they are truly
our bad reality, naked and raw...
our indefectible
involution...!

Shell games, tricks, illusions, levels of deceptions 

Plastic shapes of magical
mirrors

Dynamically invisible
Connections

Florescent
energies

Contented to stay, comfortable, stable
Agitated by imperceiveable insults
Confused, frustrated efforts to be heard
Incendiary reactions spitting out words

Deceptions

Rising light
warm breezes in morning
whisper tranquility
under a scattering of clouds
and I know each
by its shape
while I find my ease

until the storm

when I succumb to fear
of demon clouds
strangers to me
covering the sky
rumbling and thundering
cold rain and winds in the afternoon
descending darkness.

Circles

Drowning in your perfections,
Strangled by your deceptions,
I am waiting for the truth and lies to be sifted.

I have known you longer than you me,
You watch me, but cannot see me.
You reach me, but cannot touch me.

Overwhelmed by your expectations,
Suffocated by your wishes,
I am never going to get to the corner of this circle.

In The....

In the desolate place of my mind dwells
the thoughts of a lost love.

In the vast desert of my soul
grows a pain fed by hurt.

In the emptiness of my heart lives
a sorrow of past deceptions.

In the halls of my mind, heart and soul
lives the real person I do not wish to know.

For pain, hurt and deception is all it knows
