Sprig of a League Full of Intrigue

Had appeared a sprig
Of its own being in league
full of frantic intrigue

The Dreams of Sparrows

The wisdom of the world remains
By some key measures narrow,
How can we all live peaceably?
What dreams intrigue a sparrow?

More twists in some tales,
peak and trough, allied suspense, 
layers of intrigue,
which kept one fixed to the page,
gotcha end plot a bonus.

Premium Member Laying the Foundations

To write to ensnare
to weave a web of intrigue
is it for one’s self?
I’d rather be the devil
than steal true loves innocence.

You Are Pasted

You are pasted
forever on the wall
of eternal intrigue
To scrub it away
the world drum
of reconciliation
must be sounded
for all humans
to bear witness

God Gave To Adam Reason To Advance,

God gave to Adam reason to advance,
But the Devil, master of an unspeakable intrigue,
Gave Eve a boobs, to made the Adam weak,
By nullifying the gift of God at once!

Moonstruck

we spot a full moon
heading home after dinner
our heads and hearts are lifted

pausing on our way
this bright usher of intrigue
beckons us to sing and dance

Premium Member Theatres of the Absurd

Trifles of 
          frivolity
& intrigue-
ensemble of
    the esoteric,
gravitate
with audacity,
replicate
     the mundane
in complex
               transpositions

Black dressed woman left
In quiet Sunday morning
Puzzling citizens
Leaving a trail of intrigue
Disappearing forever

Premium Member Worry and Guilt Be Gone

Worry and guilt, be gone.
I push them away, leave them in mud puddles.
Not worried as they drowned a natural death.
They do not intrigue, captivate or hold my interest any more.

Premium Member 'mongst Shadows

Autumn's, veil, misty,
Intrigue prowls-horror’s echo,
Halloween's chill creeps.

Masked-truth’s cleaver guise,
Secrets whisper ‘mongst shadows,
Fear stalks-night’s cruel jest.
Form: Haiku

Rebuild

Demolish what you own.
Strive to achieve.
The seemingly impossible,
An instinct or intrigue.
Keep inhibitions aside.
Work for a need.
Ends justify means.
Afloat isn't a feat.

we witnessed crime and intrigue that slips her dagger through the stars the conspiracy of night if we don't let the right hand know what the lefthand is doing

Dreamy eyes

Glitter in my eyes,
         Towards my dreams
   Gives me unconditional strength 
            To achieve it
  Though it looks like it is out of my league 
           But I am intrigue.....

Intrigue

Though the words were unspoken
I could tell he was broken

I’d been hurt too and was 
scared to start something new 

But he was so wonderfully unique 
and I was intrigued by his mystique

Wolfcub

Your eyes carry the moonlight of ages past

Your lips poised between intrigue and knowledge

Your gaze more eloquent than any voice

A rage to shake the ocean's floor

and tenderness to still my mind

The Impossible Mistress

she walks on, this woman
till her worldly bell tolls 
sleepless and confusing
candor in her top dress
obscurity in her petticoat
intrigue under the armpit
a button of danger in heart 
Yet behind her, a rush of id

Intrigue - the Art of Revenge

Ingenious deception
Nothing revealed at conception
Tormenting his longing soul
Revenge for the one he stole
Implicating a connection
Genuine heartfelt affection
Until the truth he does receive
Entangled lies will decieve
