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...

The collapsing in of an emotion
The house of cards falls
Here is the beginning, there is the end
But mid ground failure
There's no awards for that
Little old dominoes could tell you
A miss, is a miss...

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....

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....

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

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....

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

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....
