we've built this house of cards
now that could tumble any moment
should you unilaterally decide
to change the game
AP: 1st place 2025
My feelings are a house of cards,
My will is the glue,
Without the will of wisdom,
They would be toppled by you.
Where, pray tell .. is my wisdom?
Poetic pages
Scribbled plastic dreams unfold
House of cards with depth
I am an ace of diamonds
and you are an ace of spades
together we are two of a pair
like a king and a queen
living it up like a pair of jokers
inside a house of cards
Insignificance!
Is not a mother who has buried
Both of her young boys
In the space of 2 years
To ill health
And the deafening silence
That prevails in her house of cards
Her toy less baron back yard
For that one shining moment
I thought you were mine
A fragile house of cards
Constructed in my heart
I misread the lyrics
The song was not for me
I know it never was
Should have read more carefully
Group built like a house of cards;
The odds were stacked against us
right from the very first spark;
Crossing paths with the right hand,
Inevitability,
played a game we couldn’t win;
Time came with a royal flush.
Play hearts?
No smarts
Blackjack?
Lack knack
Go fish?
You wish
Try bridge?
Ask Midge
Old Maid?
Afraid
Cribbage?
Priv'lege
Euchre?
Nuke her
Hold 'em?
Fold 'em
Psst:
Poker?
Mediocre
seams of marriage come part
as house of cards tumble down;
child's glue not holding parents
all attempts in vain

Put a nickel on the needle
Hold me down so I won't skip
Spin the red top round and round
Catch me before I hit the ground
You sunk my battleship
You knocked my block off
You catch me quite off guard
Should you ever breathe my way
You'll wreck my house of cards.

ìŸí Babylon: with your pie high in the sky, death wish ?
Living amid this house of cards; snake eyes domino's tilting box....
Cars and if they could see his californication then perhaps there would have
Been no need to flood her world ? Full moon madness friday the thirteenth some say.
Form:
watch with hands tied as your two worlds collide
masks fall away and truths are revealed
your house of cards crumble in the wake of their rage
broken promises and shattered dreams are all that remain
the path you have chosen has led to dismay
despair has found those you've betrayed.
Form:
Music of love
Playing with table in the
Morning night brings
The shadow of stars
Galaxy of moon and
Planet plan for new shine
Playing with watery blood
Goes in my house of cards
Deep and shalow fry of
Feeling fighting over the
Music of love
With love all

Here we go--
Jack of spades...
Eight of clubs...
Four of hearts...
Ace of diamonds...
Ten of hearts...
Three of clubs...
Six of diamonds...
King of hearts...
Nine of clubs...
Queen of spaaa...
Queeeen......
...da'mn it!
I never could...
build a good...
house of cards--
The voyage of the heart forsaken
Along the righteous path not taken
The darkness there permeates the soul
Spawns an empty life without a goal
Sullen with a lack of gratitude
Ever cloaked with such vile attitude
Down a staircase where fate soon tumbles
A self-made house of cards that crumbles
Enticed
by feminine allure
my resistance
crumbles
like a house of cards.
On brief reflection
I contemplate
the repercussion
of total surrender
or hurried retreat.

It never lasts nearly as long as
it should
When it crashes down like a
house of cards
And there's a million hammers
hitting your skull
And it's all you can do not to
scream
Like you're the only one left on
earth
As if you were the only one
graced with a brain
That even though your mind is
faster, you don't count.
Form:
it came to pass
that the world we built
collapsed when it was tested
the fault line of course was ego
serial offender out on bail
disturbing the peace
the universe tests us
again and again and again
do we smile when the blood flows
perhaps our time has not arrived
becoming a Buddha must wait
our heart flutters in the wind
I thought we’d be together,
Just you and I forever,
Building our castle of dreams.
We couldn’t be divided--
Our hopes and goals united--
Was a house of cards it seems.
I can’t believe it.
I don’t believe you’d leave me
After all that we’ve been through.
I can’t believe you’ve given up.
Can’t accept you’ve given up on me and you.
Bestowed the cruel side...
generations shuffled deck...
The pain the misery...
the mask - the endure, the pretend...
Generations gone before...
relieved of the worry...
passed on forever more...
Souls dance round my energy...
dialect message rescued...
...bestowed the cruel side...
generations reshuffled deck...
The house of cards I felled...
The future I protect...
See the King without a crown
As the walls come crashing down
Closely now his heart he guards
In this lonely house of cards
The Queen knew just how he felt
Broken from the cards she dealt
In a bad hand of poker
She ran off with the Joker
Now his thoughts are running deep
All alone in Castle's Keep
Licking wounds that would fester
Just another Court Jester
I noticed it was gone
Knew it was the end
Heard the closing song
Caught in the wind
Being left there holding
Fate’s hand of unused hints
My house of cards folding
A world around me went
A perfect betrayal
Naked in the moment
Reality so frail
Twisting in the wind
Just being lost for me
Purpose as it lingers
Being life’s irony
Through my fingers
Form:
Lovers then we became strangers
now full blown adversaries
enemies
gladiators armored for destruction.
This is no longer a relationship
it is a ruthless affair
a house of cards
kill zone
minefield 101.
Words sharp than machetes
actions colder than waterboarding
we massacred us
we are locked up in solitary confinement
you the king of North
and this Nubian Monarchy is mine.
To the last Iron and Crown standing
its game on!
Got to keep the image up.
Money is like a new pup.
Intoxicated on beer and wine.
Cop outside - gave me a fine.
HOT DICE - fast rolling green.
WIFE and KIDS - I'm getting mean.
Got to recoup that loss.
What will I tell the boss.
Books are a house of cards.
Fat belly - a jelly lard.
Glitter clown woman call on.
Faster and faster the night time.
HOLLYWOOD image falling down.
It's just an illusion.
I'M THE REAL CLOWN.
I rest my case
on a house of cards
(that)
hit the nail on the head
(of) the nail in the coffin
(that)
hit the ground running
where the rubber hits the road
(while)
time flies when you’re having fun
in the nick of time
(and)
all’s well that ends well
all is fair in love and war
(let’s not forget that)
the writing’s on the wall
it could be worse
(as)
the light at the end of the tunnel
is a perfect storm after the calm
