Short Imposter Poems

Yes I speak French the brazen imposter bragged.
A lie said the countess, for his speech surely lagged....

He is a caricature of his Dad
A faker, imposter, jester, and cartoon
Some say he’s a scoundrel, some kind of cad.
His reputation depicts a buffoon....

Cupid’s portrayed wearing wings

No angel shoots through the heart

Little devil causes pain

Should have horns and tail

Did someone ever promise you the moon?
You believed him on that starlit night in June.
Fate intervened, and it came to a painful end.
Love’s just a temporary imposter, and gone like the wind.

She presented all goodness and kind
 Reveled in the ridiculous and sublime.
A sanguine disposition, purification of light 
And ever so softly with a smile of delight,
She would step on you gently with all of her might……...

What's with this imposter Donald Trump?

   For president I'd much prefer Forrest Gump!

      His ramblin' views I find difficult to perceive.

         Methinks he hides precarious tricks up his sleeve!

Time like water recasts a face;
An imposter looks from my place.
Who I once was I know him not,
But not because I have forgot.
For certainly, could he foresee,
I fear that he would not know me.

One word after another type paralysed;
With his words my heart he prized.
Broken with dazed disbelief,
From this bandit, standard thief.
How can one begin to foster-
A condescending crock, imposter? 
In the beginning he was never cruel,
Now the end I'm such a dunce....

behold i’m a troll
     being an imposter my goal
           besides i’ve no role 
 behind these screens rots my soul
      beating back into my hole 

Dedicated to the coward/s that tried 
to sabotage Edward Ibeh’s ‘(this or
that) contest.

He rode a twisted trail, 
He lied a tortured, fact-faked tale
Of Jesse James and unexpected shames
Of Quantrill’s carnage, powder-smoke and flames. 

 He wasn’t who he said—
He wasn’t Jesse James, long dead
But something gaudier and grander yet 
Imposter-champion none can forget....

Persuaded by a gypsy imposter to have my Tarot read 
There were two cards missing from her Tarot deck
She hadn't figured out which ones yet
Didn't seem to be important
Mentioning it was all bull anyway
Although there was one event in my future 
she was sure of
I was still going to have to pay....

Dear Sister, this is for you, again you win
Artist of the year, and sexiest friend
Such an adorable person, so I rate you a ten
Tony is an imposter; I’m your real kin 
See the doctor loathe me because I had muscles of men
But anyway, tell the mama I’ll never see again 
“Thank you Katherine for conceiving… me sister Bren”...

My Notes:  You May find it difficult to understand the situation in this poem, so did I, but not in the reading. I’m a hack Poet at best, which is why I didn’t submit it in the contest about rising above reality. When I finish the short story on the events this poem is based it will be come apparent, and like me you will say; “WHAT?” ....

Through the glass, your body stills.
What life was there - isn't.

Drained,
Unfair.

You can't see me, but I can see you.
Meat.

The pain in my temples kills.
Dead eyes,
Cloudy.

Wake up, wake up.

I think I'm going deaf.
Waves wash over skin,
Turning it grey and speckled.

Imposter,
Red and sharp.

I can't pin this feeling down....

A lot of talk goes around,
All about this or that.
And is only the sound,
Of bold Yakety Yak.
Politicians confound,
Wear imposter hats.
Flared tensions abound.
Subvert the facts.
Chicago's burning down.
Pour on more gas.
Discord Surrounds. 
Raising the tax.
A lot of talk goes around,
All about this or that.
And is only the sound,
Of more Yakety Yak....

Sometimes that mimetolith is a fraud
Torturing on the murky face of you
I understate it so feels worthy

By my blood taking the plunge worthy
In the name of love I execute the fraud
A little bit pretentious just for you

I do paralyzing and took you
Sacrilege of fires and worthy
Is it  natural love and how much is fraud?

I have always done fraud, you are so worthy...

In hot August I’ll make my departure,
the trembling freshman imposter,
to dance with unknown partners,
in our quests to join the rosters
of future scholars and doctors.

Like Columbus I’ll journey not knowing
exactly where I am going -
and like our brave-foolish captain I’m hoping
that the planned years of furious rowing,
will deliver me to where (I think) I am going....

Again

Again...
I feel no arousal
Nor in love
Nor hate

Again...
I permit his feast
upon my flesh
But why?

Again...
I verbally proclaim “no”
My feeble attempts
elicit surrender

Again...
I harbor the regret
Burden of shame
Priciest weight

Again...
I camouflage my sin
Playing an imposter
Doting wife

Again...
I declare to cease
Like an addict,
I lie...

I’m invisible to you.
I’m invisible to everyone
I’m here but I’m not
People see me but they don’t
They know me but they don’t
I am not what I seem but 
You nor anybody else knows that
I am invisible
What you see is not me
I am invisible
What you see is an imposter
Costumed up for your own importance
Who I am is invisible to everyone
But you don’t care
I am invisible...

Why are some unable to see
What is right in front of their eyes
The manipulation and hypocrisy 
Blatant deceit and outright lies

The inauthenticity of a human soul
Pretending to be ,only to gain
Righteous and so pure of heart
Just playing a dishonest game

Empty words portraying kindness
Meaningless and untrue
Why are some unable to see
When an imposter is in clear view!...

I can feel the end drawing near
Muddy water becoming clear
People running from what's true
They are all running to you
Just to find you let them down
Stomping them into the ground
Befriend them for their future suffer
You are the joke without laughter
You're a hypocritical drama queen
"Seen more than what we've seen"
One by one we fell from you
Together we can see what's true...

I keep in mind, what I want a true friend to be.
Someone who proves they are loyal to me

To know that honesty, is part of who they are.
They will travel life's journey with you, no matter how far.

They see you, the real you, the bad and the good,
They know what you are all about, it's understood.

A heart of pure gold, is what you hope to find.
Not an imposter, or the "fool's gold" kind....
