Eyes...
Misty Windows deceptively 
Shielding Storms 
Blowing radar-less boats within a

priests, politicians, a shrew
keep a safe distance

dark and ethereal
stark reminders of being
never tainted nor thwarted
ever present in light
deceptively absent otherwise
now unusable
these tethers
pray tell their value...

Tired of lying about why she is crying,
She soon unleashes the truth of how she is feeling,
But nobody, close to none, knew the true meaning
Behind how she is always deceptively smiling....

Prepackaged compliment,
  our badge of delight

Symbol and emblem,
—deceptively bright

A pandered acknowledgement,
—slap on the back

Others controlling,
  the acceptance we lack

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)...

such beautiful eyes
mask so many lies

such beautiful eyes
slice through your emotional ties

such beautiful eyes
darken from life's stormy skies

such beautiful eyes
glisten from too many cries

such beautiful eyes
glaze over when your heart finally dies

such beautiful eyes
such deceptively beautiful eyes...

You who perniciously perpetuate
In your own timely image
In a changing, disastrously dangerous world

You reap momentary satisfaction
Millions of blind, awe-struck hangers-on
Whose eerie interpretation is often mistook 

Now you deceptively sway them 
Tomorrow someone will slay them
As each tempo or rhythm separates...

I pull back the curtains 
And out I look 
There lay a carriage, oh yes, I’m certain
Suddenly, I hear a knock at my door 
So the lock I unhook 
The door i open 
Standing there, a figure 
A creature of great lore 
Grinning, deceptively it hands me a paper and a pen 
It’s come for my soul I begin to figure 
“I’m not ready” I begin to plea 
Yet, from death there is no where to flee....

words to paint the pictures seen
in Mother Nature's larder
are hidden and so hard to glean
to make one try yet harder
deceptively with sudden ease
they slip and slide in view
a mirror to frustrated tease
as Mother reaches and displays
the tasty morsals I can't find
she swears I'm blind
in her refridgerator
And Naturally like sunset's song
is seen but never heard
I hold my tongue and go along
and never say a word
Till later...

Revenge is the best
For the Dead-To-Pity Pest:
A Rhode Island Red
I could west on its bed,
It calmly tracing to its nest
To violate its accustomed rest…

For a bird, The Willing Pest,
Wait at its sighted nest;
A real Murderous Guest,
Plain Horror as my quest…

For the unstoppable pest
Be deceptively dressed:
Preferably in a Jesus’ Vest,
Never acting The Much Stressed
And a Rhode Island slash its crest…

For harrowing stories in East and West....
