Pebbles of Dishonesty

Gushing from within
Tender hearts, voiced through strong minds,
Straight shooter's urges,
Pulverizing the pebbles
Carried in dishonest shoes
Form: Tanka

Doubt

A viral plague, it is. 
Dishonesty; a sweet epidemy, 
which all has its' take, 
upon the soul of all. 
Never, looking at upheaval,yet, 
sight-seeking for downfall.

I Have Nothing On

I have nothing on
But truth
I don’t wear dishonesty
Your treacherous,
Name brand labels
Infect the body with
Falsities
I’m stripped of deceit
And naked with honesty

Love and Lies

Have become friends

Truth
Have become enemies
Cheating
and 
Dishonesty
Love's identical twins.

99 loves

not one was good
not a single one.
they all treated her wrong,
with disrespect
and 
disappointments 
and 
dishonesty 
and 
"love"
not one was decent 
not a single one

The Heart That Lies

The heart that lied before,
Beats with dishonesty once more 
For it shares its love with one too many, 
And any one whose heart is shared by two,
is unable to care and love just you.

In That Arena

In that arena couples fight
Against infidelity, dishonesty…….
Many have fought but lost
Yet many still join the spot 
But when love wanes
They totter to demise 
As their opponents smell victory

Half-Hearted Hyperbole

he scribbles lines 
he won't erase

Premium Member Shattered Lives

Some 
Lives are 
Just torn up 
Apart by lies 
Dishonesty and 
Lack of security. 
Tortured lives just trying 
To stay alive by picking up 
All they can here and there and finding 
Only more strife and sorrows in their way.

Betrayed By Love

In place of joy 
Pain fills the soil 
Pretty or not,
The table is always for three and more

Fresh Lies
More concubines
You are fed dishonesty
In place of loyalty 

Pitiful sight
In broad daylight
All you see 
Is broken beings

Premium Member -If Not Truth Then What

If not truth

Then what

Pretence and distance

Simply…..not a lot!


Insincerity and dishonesty

Echoed through hollow words

Spoken 

Though never truly heard


Trust diminished

Destroyed by lies

Perpetual doubt 

Relationship demise

Premium Member Disposing the Frame

How am I to maintain the status quo? When my eyes and mind are dead set on dishonesty. Of what I've shared and bestowed as the mystery!

The Enabler

I abhor…
bigotry,
dishonesty,
hate and
disloyalty,
bias
and jealousy,
misogyny
and tyranny

But more than anything
I hate weakness in all its forms,
cowardice being the most destructive,
 which allows all of the things I abhor…
to exist

(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)

Disillusioned

Life Corrupted
Innocence vanished
Deceit, Dishonesty, and distrust arise
Perception altered from hardships and struggles
No understanding of how to rise above
Condescension and arrogance all around
Judgement from everywhere
How can there be change without compassion and mercy?

Premium Member My Soul Purpose In Writng

My delicacies are never bothered by writing truth
Rather delighted by it, for it seems the best release
Dishonesty in writing bamboozles me
Confuses me, startles me, 
strikes me as crazy weird.
Why would you write at all?
What would be the point?
My soul purpose
is to share
my
truth

Premium Member Slow Death

With ifs and buts she lived in an illusion of future

When this and when that in a prison of dishonesty

But her life happens here and now is the essence or

Else present dysfunction merely awaits one final call

Loving People and Non-Loving People

People who are clear of the heart.
The same people are worth the love.
People who are bad from the heart.
Those same people fail in the love.
Hiding anything in love is a dishonesty.
It's a sensible thing to tell everything in love.
People who respect your love.
The same people become the pride of love.

Premium Member Cookie Cutter Comments

All cooki-cutter comments, say the same thing!
But to blind you, they toss God's name in the ring.
Stay away from me, please!
Hang your comment on another poet's tree.
Dishonesty and I are an explosive mix.
Find someone else to lie to, and get your fix!

Croak Proof


Webbed lip toadies,
their tongues do  do stink of lies
As they leapfrog from excrement places
that do  do attract flies

Brown tongue toadies,
their sticky web of dysentery deceit
stinks of foul breath duplicity

For they do  do double dip in 
toilet ponds of diaphragm dishonesty

Croak manure truth be 100-proof landfill speech

The I In Him

Integrity could be,
But dishonesty it is,
Maybe Intelligence,
Also understanding the worst!

The "it" could impel him,
But he's strong for.
Idiocy Baffles,
But in a sec he had immunity.

Igneous is his love,
Impassiveness is his pride
And imperial is his soul.
Though his flesh is impotent,
he could give life
by planting his seed.
and...?

I Won'T

I won't be silenced

My voice  will scream and be heard

I won't be accesory to your transgressions,

Witness to your sins, your actions and inactions

To your deceptions and dishonesty

I will not fight side by side with you

I choose not 

Forthwith I become your distant memory

I will do anything for love but that I won't. 

I Won't.
