Hanging by its tail, 
on the limb of the oak tree, 
possum feigns slumber

Three witches, fair feigns
     For allure of two gold coins
One naive trust, gains

Darkness lighting three witches' spell
Casting two heavens of one hell.

"A cardigan-wearing wolf.

A not-so-innocent lamb. 

Inches away--yet

the air is still.

The wolf feigns concern

the lamb takes the bait.

Innocent lies, 

innocent touches,

but the wolf's mind is full of

storms."...

Slowly you wind your net
Intent upon a snare....beware
Slyly he comes interest he feigns in your day....
He comments on the weather
While your feet are fixed in a snare

His two edged sword is placed for a quick kill
His mercy is protective of his time
For time is money!!...

Once touched by God, what then remains,
for then there’s nothing left to seek.
Unlike ego, love never feigns,
as head and heart dance, cheek to cheek.

Vaporised presence is at peace,
ambling along slowly through life
in monk mode, embrace and release,
free from strife, at all times bliss rife....

My shadow was crying out to me
beyond all darkness and light
Saying that life is a trap in reverse
 caught between wrong and right

Dichotomy claims what polarity feigns
academics locking the gate
Where shadows crawl under what locks in our fear
—abandoning us to fate

Touching warm rains
blinking sun feigns 
foolish clouds try to sweep
thunder shutters  all.

winds combining to stir
darkness steps in to warn
that a storm has brewed
lighting startles the sky

nature held in captivity
time has been uprooted
beauty has been stricken 
till the rainbow rescues all....

Oscillation in a static realm. Stalking desolation, a haunting reminder of 
transcendence. Sporadic fractures paint a decadence flourishing confined mortal. 
Omnipresent the triumvirate, yet fallow diversity feigns a collapsing periphery. 
Malleable beings vivisect the strings of eternity for clarity divine....

He feigns the astute overture which solemnly reigns oppressing. His head clouded 
from mars to infinity, a perpetual black power convolutes through metaphysical 
peripheries. Infinite is the torture granted from this being. Interdimensional 
branding lays hollow in vein of mind control. Such is the vicariously voracious...

I'm often asked by inquisitive minds;
As a poet, what do you do?
My answer feigns the illusive,
With hope to the rare and few.

I seek to express the human condition;
With words that color & texture, the tapestry that I weave . . .
Though at times the product seems unfinished,
And an area rug, is the remnant I leave....

Where the zone reigns,
It often rains:
Soaked clouds permitted reins
That light up smiles of grains
On highlands and plains,
Overfilling drains:
Here no friendship feigns,
Skilled Planters for gains,
The unskilled its pains…

A worry for trains
And call for Brains
Over the water-covered rails
Or Engineering fails!...

lugubrious lake lurching
salient waves scrunching
forth feigns fought
inky blue bought
crimson crest cupped
neighboring boulevard lusts

bounty birds pulsing
pelvics pruning perches
on flimsy fishes

drunk daedal dances
of nocturnal nymphs
fostered in flips

west wind whooshes
camped callous crisis.

familiar feelings feigns
odd emotions strains
pulpy punctured projection
ensconced eerie erections
contract into span
gulped by trance

mystic meager mass
assumed airy mask
met mushy task

inky oily infection
curl callous combustion
scribbling damped solutions

emotions sans vibe
sanity scrunched bribe.

oozing feelings fostered
burdening bounty blunder
eerie emotions scribbled
as dark dribbles
over felon fallacy
seeped'n smirking beauty

fiery gaze feigns
turbulent torrent's trance;
wielded worn waves

emotions daring damp
strained soapy trance
saucy feelings spanked

mushy surges melt
hasty hankering crept.

She feigns a sober rationality
and speaks to you with fake civility;


   but then her voice can't fool those who can feel
   the hatred hidden there as cold as steel.


A peevish wince she tries to hide from you,
displeasure faintly dripping through and through;


   her sulky air like paint upon the wall,
   she need not try pretending after all....

the mouth spins webs
of lies and deceit
that catch you, ensnare you
in it's merciless grip

the face puts up
a convincing facade
it feigns a heartfelt smile
or hides the crushing sorrow

a person entreats you
becomes your friend
then strikes you down
and leaves you for dead

and how would I
detect the lie?
I must watch the eyes
the eyes never lie...

eerie contractions etched
fostering fractured fetch
poring punctured pulses
worn winds wield
felon feigns drooped
hoisting hankering drools

bruised barks moaned
heaving sigh sown
by blitzkrieg enthroned

dark diminuendo dribble
cupping callous cripple
nocturnal nature nimble

spunky shaver severed
rondure creeps revered.

Strangers:
I feel as though she may never change,
Never give good a chance.
I feel as though we play a game?
One I've played in the past. 

Friends:
I swear her eyes tell me no lies,
I think they all are wrong.
Yes, if she feigns at least a try...
Behind her I'll stay strong. 

Family:
Until the day she overcomes,
Her past and her evil deeds,
I'm patiently standing all alone,
And often she'll stand with me....

Haywire ghetto, lingering corpses, malingering sunshine,
Malignant malediction, staccato with disseminating stench,
Portending: ichor, insipid blood and wenches.

Juxtaposition of aphotic with aphotic; incognizant iniquity.

Noxious oxygen, attenuated jasper, jejune jardiniere:
Zion.

Smoke: implicative cornice,
Sherry or vitriol?
Ours, a world, that feigns polo in alcohol!!

We live a good life, there’s no guile--
Life of twosome stranded on isle.
She said with a strange spout
That showed there was some doubt,
What was amiss, just that damned style,
Reality that reigns,
Mankind’s the kind that feigns, 
And yet, life has such clout,
Bare few opt to get out,
Life with her wiles winked t’me with smile.

COPLA TRES (THREE):  This Bad Guy World

Bad guys signal to each other
In cryptic lingo and hand signs
Close ranks bind ties

Egg-white eyes of the murderer
Encroach the pupil with designs
Embryo dies

No worse enemy than the friend
Who feigns being a bosom pal:
Snake in the shoe

They know their role is to offend
Their lives but ephemeral
Do they yet rue

A father ails, a son's lover's lament
Steel rudders committed, what hues to lament.

No courage, the lover feels not what to speak
A channel untuned to the feast of lament.

Tradesmen and saints, what heed they at all?
The father feigns slumber, a weak heart's lament.

The lover replaced, made a crater unwhole
His plea unreturned, an unpromised lament.

One tender father, one lover's fair bones
Their son and companion, shared in lament....
