success-
the enamel
disguising a mess
where the meaning
becomes less and less
forsaking confusion
for a state of illusion
with a gesture-
of subtle finesse...

We perish
from all those around
fleeing
disguising ourselves
disappearing
hiding beneath facades
dematerializing
withdrawing within oneself
while others
continue reaching out...

The smoky structure of forgotten dreams,
buried in the breath of lost denial
Stealing from sleep what life rebukes
—disguising what the coming dawn reviles

(Dreamsleep: November, 2021)...

Disguising his attack,
concealing his intent,
deceit comes calling
as a friend

Smiling to your face,
fangs in your back,
the wolf approaching
as a lamb

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2020)...

Don't trust your feelings,
Sometimes they lie,
Disguising the truth,
Rebuke your pride,
Seeing the enemy,
An ego collides,
Believing a reality,
A thought,
A lie,
Disguised by feelings,
A storm inside....

Beauty
So exquisite
Mirrored wrong perceptions
Disguising hidden reflections
Of past hurts and life’s cruel condemnation
Lies beneath the surface
Obscured mask of
Beauty

I just want to f*cking die.
Hell would be better tonight.
As this devil gambles with my life
Disguising itself as a saint.
My talent fades away
Into the horizon, bleeding me dry.
Yet still I burn,
Still I burn tonight.

Your voice like smoke,
 it calls from the distance

Luring your enemy into
 winds of deceit

The clouds of your fathers,
hiding hailstones above

Disguising the truth
—as you lie in wait

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)...

Hidden from perdition
disguising me again
Final thorn of life’s florescence 
trapped within her pen

Darker than the madness
eternity cajoles   
The pathway to forbidden fruit
— her masquerade unfolds

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Can you see me before you
Brave face disguising my anguish
as you lay it all out to me
telling me how it has to be

Who are you to decide my fate
to take my happiness in your hands
how can feeling so much mean so little
to someone who called me friend...

In spring time fresh flowers are rising
New lambs in the fields – not surprising
In every hedgerow and tree
Lush beauty will surround me
It’s heaven; there is no disguising

His trust was betrayed

We followed dismayed

It's not surprising

Judas is rising

Now nailed on a cross

His death was our loss

There's no disguising

Judas is rising

In shame there he stands

With blood on his hands

Justice is calling

Judas is falling...

Merchant of moments 
Peddling the past
A hourglass high
A present that never lasts

Slave to silience
Disguising the deceit
A tongued tied echo
A truth that's never discrete

Time may beget actuality
Expectation elicits emotion
A tacit torture
A sensation that's never chosen...

Falsity

is a virus that attacks the mind

disguising itself as truth for to

deceive judgment

in order

to create opinions that lead to 

confusion and error

for 

the sole purpose: The  

establishment of evil!

Technological advances 
An addiction 
Society has no cure

Social media
Networking human interaction
Many friends, in reality-few 

False identities prevail

The internet
Disguising predators
Or insecurities
Those yearning for acceptance
Or mischief

All was hushed this eerie dawn
For ash had claimed the day
Disguising shape and muffling noise
Enshrouding all in grey--
Long the haze had swathed the cliffs
In veils of silver white
Till overnight like fleeting soot
It vanished with the light.

Righteous Anger

When anger bursts forth
In an encounter seeming to
Unleash our fury..
The veil of dualism
Of separation
Thickens..to conceal our
Inherent Peace..

Yet..the Recognition of 
Anger disguising our Peace
Can allow for a
Righteous measure to be
Dealt..simultaneously 
Retaining our Peace......

In the depth of the ocean
darkness surrounding me 
my invisible enemy
lurking in the deepest part of my soul

drowning,
emotions surfacing
faced with only
my own thoughts

my pretty smile
disguising my lies
my tears,
tell a story.

I am, ok!
my favourite line,
while tears
find their way into my heart...

Always wear thongs when you’re fifty
and let those buttocks bounce
Don’t give a jot ‘bout your wobbly bot
Just flounce that extra ounce
No twin-set and pearls
nor hair in tight curls
just denim and boots
And disguising your roots
Not growing older
Just bigger
And bolder
Keep a smile on your face
And grow old in dis-grace!...

Bottoms Up


Heavy handed was the pour
convex cap to rim of glass
chasers iced and doubled back
dry toast to soothe an empty flask.

Innkeepers have their history
in treating drunkards mystery
disguising in replete display
the demon haunts their every day.
