working every time

single rose, feigned affection,
lover’s tryst revealed...

Feigned sight fixed on board;
Stealth mind haunting smart phone's screen:
Next hot tip hopped out?...

We combed bushes
for dirge singing birds
foliage crackled 
 crickets feigned death
 retired broken shell...

wisdom in the dark
feigned resplendence floundering
vanity flattered!

The curse of public opinion,
feigned history of the truth

Generations of self interest, 
freedom—time abused

For a week he had feigned being ill
“neath a blanket of leaves he lay still
And just for effect
He shunned circumspect
Playing dead right next to the grill

The sum of the heart
Divided by each part
Two ventricles cerebrally apart
One doth deceptive guile impart
Other, feigned grace doth cart
Blood-stained psyche doth chart...

Three in one,
prophetic comes

One for all,
each heart enthralled

Confusion proffered,
diffusion reigns

Salvation offered
—all reason feigned

She feigned deafness hearing Hoke's corny jokes,
often why the chicken crossed the road,
Hoke yelled louder,
broke sound barrier,
Miss Daisy at the end of her rope.

March forth Macduff, your sword to smite.
The head of a king for your requite!

Ten years he has reigned
with innocence feigned.

Greed and slaughter his ultimate blight!...

Cunning Sam craved to catch caged canary,
feigned sly not to be overtly scary.
      He sneaked with dinner in mind,
      caught in cage, Sam starved confined.
The bird performed Houdini sorcery.

thoughts pounding
echoing loudly inside my brain
feelings hammering
clamoring tinges of this pain
a facade that slips
its anchoring clips
strength that's feigned
a tin heart, that's dangling from
a braided chain...

Knowing the answer,
excuses imbue

The right thing for others,
 never following through

A feigned double standard,
the past in pursuit

Reckoning scheduled
—payment en route

forced solitude
compulsory confinement
freedom from the sun

tall walls
large locks
glum guards

the soundless flow of time
yawning years
freedom of thoughtlesness

timed routines
in a timeless atmosphere
feigned freedom...

TATTERS

To share anonymously
a shattered joy
hide behind eyes
that cannot lie
speak from within
the silence of your meme
make pets of air-filled animals
mock
in feigned amusement
the angst of life

enchanted lies sprout from your devilish tongue
feigned concern lightens your mysterious eyes
a shallow heart beats in your chest
your words are hollow and lost in communication
Your lips attempt to deceive
your greedy hands reach for my innocence...

Who was your first disconnect?
      Your mom? Your brother?

Your father after he passed away?

I did that you know,
     Pushed everyone away.

At 12 I learned that apathy, 
     feigned or real,
          was better than feeling pain.

Is he or am I to blame?...

DECIET
						
She feigned innocent to me;
Bloomed, color burst, fragrance sprayed.
How insanely I fell for
All those displayed; cleverly made.
How overlooked the veiled reality!
Now that, likings to fade,
She surfaces again; fresh touch
To assume a new shade.

Mortal sin requires full knowledge
Complete consent
Presupposes knowledge
The sinful character of the act
Oppose to Eternal God’s law

Implies a consent
Sufficiently deliberate
A personal choice

Feigned ignorance
Hardiness of heart
Not diminish
Increase
Character of sin 
(CCC 1859)...

Zeal uncontained, needing quarantine
Oscillating rigor mortis, feigned or real
Madness, the only description saleable
Both for actors and non actors alike
Invested in the runaway train consumers
Enjoy at the expense of real tragedy
Shuttered from public view, until it's not

nothing ventured
nothing gained
no love indentured
no hope feigned

nothing known
nothing felt
no way grown
not humbly knelt

"is what it is"
"can't be changed"
so often he says
alone, estranged

nothing expected
nothing missed
nothing desired
the fatalist

It's raining gods!
A flow of rare colorful gods
Sailors of soil-of-evermore
for last comrades, dreaming the outdoor

It's raining gods
It's raining gods,
the line accross all feigned-glories
their lord's irreversible stories
to remind me that we
were all born to be free

It's raining gods......

Accismus feigned about God search
It’s our highest desire
Without His grace, we’re in the lurch
Far from home, we now tire

We thus pray, day and night
That we may see the light
Bestowed spherical sight

Bliss throbs ingrained
Accismus feigned

There's a constant humming of the heart

in rhythm's feigned semblances,

everything is just sampled stories self pre-awakening

we are merely a perception of who we think we are,

had a vivid dream I'd written the perfect analogy

ended 'pon bittersweet rhymes calling out destined poetry...
