False Love

When love is pseudo

faked feelings
forged smile

spurious and untrue vibe
When truth hidden, love is false.

Spring In Toronto

Early Toronto spring 
lives still in the shadow 
of winter-frost, transitory,
I observe the quiet marvel of flowers,
the deceptive budding of leaves,
shivering cold 
as a cloud cloaks out the sun.

Beauty is deceptive masquerade
Love is a dark looming shadow
And we both are the nightbirds
Dancing masquerade in the shadow
Possessed by deceptive beauty and
Losing our way in one night of love!

IN AND OF DECEPTIVE RAINFALL

Rain fell down today,
The kids and I stayed inside;
Rainbowing our minds:-

We played, “Two Lies & A Truth”:
No matter how much rain falls,
We live—free, equal—lives:-

Agua Marina

A shade of purity, but with a hint of notoriety. Deceptive but innocently, Aquamarine, like you, I live up to be. Peace you may bear, but chaos I can bare. Clear blue eyes, virtuously hiding lies.

What Makes Me Smile - What Makes Me Frown

I Smile In Prayer

Lord thank you for space
To float dreams on water wings
In the sea of life


I Frown When

Some snakes walk, talk, are
Deceptive beyond reason
Use hearts to play darts

FOX
I feel that everyone is becoming the deceptive fox
Nobody can't escape his/ her own box
The chef cook is burning his lox
Let's focus on how to take care of our own ox
