Premium Member Cryptic

It’s not that they are all that deep
or hard to misconstrue,
so I’m just going to take a leap:
you haven’t any clue.

Premium Member Before, Before

before you misconstrue my warm, random gestures - hello.
before you take the next flight far away from here - answer, it's me.

Oneness

I cannot own you, nor can you own me
Now, don’t misconstrue; we each are free!

Neither in charge let’s walk side-by-side
And enjoy our journey with minds open wide.

Love






Quote By Author: A true soul mate is a mirror that won't change its point of view.
Love is a mirror reflecting true you, one look and you can't misconstrue.

Fact, real, and yes, al/l - so true, can it turn, be like, misconstrue, maybe like this, one, three, two, be some topic of points of view, a dream or goal still comes true, affair's subjective of who's who.

Dark Minds

Owning the consequence
of all that you do

Intentions when pure,
dark minds misconstrue

When twisted and spun,
then torn into shreds

The words once pristine
—denounced when misread

Herald Hermit's Alphabets

Ascetic brothers continue dedicating eternal feathers: godliness , humane, 
integrated justice. Kinetic lovers misconstrue navigating oedipal pleasures, 
querulous remaining separated trust-less...Understand vicissitudes where-by 
eXtracting your zen.

What swims and starts with the letter “T”... two ducks of course Thought that was easy but apparently it was difficult intercourse Didn't mean to cause tension At sex, the mere mention Did you misconstrue the meaning of THAT word I endorsed

Premium Member Love Poem

If I write a love poem for you
You'd have nothing but words if my lines were untrue
Judge me not by the words my mouth and pen spew
Rather by the actions I choose
I will do the same for you
And if we are both tried and true
Our love we'll never misconstrue

A Hymn For Her

(to be sung as if a
Gregorian chant)


don't misconstrue
i'm always missing
you but i'm confused
as to what to do other
then to have faith that
fate will find a lasting
path that not needing
to even be straight or
narrow takes me to you 
benedicat me in via mea 
awwwwwwwwwwwmen

I Never Meant

Please don't misconstrue my words,
they were written from an imaginaton to big,
an imagination too active,
a heart too emotional,
I caused my own fall out,
the only one I have to blame
is myself.
So please don't put the distance of silence
between us,
I never meant for this to happen.

Wives With Knives

Through and through though more to do-
A thousand thoughts to misconstrue!
Too long I've waited, too sad and sedated
To live a lie I declare is true...
And so it seems that in my dreams
I bathe myself in Moonlight beams
That light the night, turn black to white
And will slit my throat at any means!

Premium Member The Best Years of Our Lives

     
          Our aches and pains an endless drain
             Life a war ‘gainst stress and strain

          Seeing us so pitiful, friends condescend
             Our response defensive, we miscomprehend

          For they just don’t know what to do 
             facing a stranger they now misconstrue

Remember me

Remember me when I'm not here
My love is always yours
Forever I am near

The power of my love for you 
My love is always yours
Is hard to misconstrue

Unmitigated love so sheer
My love is always yours
Remained connection clear 

Remember me when I'm not here
My love is always yours
Unmitigated love so sheer

Finally

Finally

I’m forgiving you.
Making you the helium in my balloon.
Taking you into my lungs, once more.
Giving you one last chance,
to totally misconstrue how I say things.
before I retie it.
Send it soaring into the sky.
To associate with the cumulus,
manipulate the currents, navigate the wind,  
then disappear into someone else’s back yard.

Robin

Here
A
Little
Robin sings.
His joyful piping
Brings happiness to human ears,
His fiery redbreast glowing like a foundry furnace.

But
We
Humans
Misconstrue
His soliloquy.
No harbinger of Spring is he,
Unique amongst our garden birds, he sings all year round.

He 
Sings
Not for
Happiness
Nor joy of Nature –
He’s driven by a primal urge,
His song, a warning, a territorial battle cry.

Celebrity

Celebrity
a certain kind of individual 
who views his life as pivotal 
to his fans always residual
no matter how gory the visual
of violet red and blue
somber hues color his “boo”
or all those who misconstrue
his looks and dance moves as virtue
dare to unveil the wretched truth 
and time will only serve the news 
that tinsel town’s beloved muse 
could be just as screwed up as you.

Premium Member The Puppy Blues

Stressed I am a mess 

I have what you call the puppy blues.

It's not the flu and please do not misconstrue

How I feel and how I act is not up to you.

Having a new puppy makes me somewhat grumpy

Not following my commands; how bland

He is like a ticking time bomb that is slow to react!

How about that!  Now, I think I should have gotten a cat.

No, not any regular cat, but a big fat black cat like Dr. Seuss!

Communication Coplication By Ron Porter

Every time I present my view of cats
you deliver a dissertation on? ?rats
Should I happen to say It looks like rain.
I get your opinion on climate in The Ukraine

I wonder why I ever send words your way
when you misconstrue everything i say
It's not a question of Venus and Mars
That I say highway and,? ?you think I mean cars

Our perceptions differ like a fork from a cup
I guess the best thing I can do is just shut up.

Photographer

My job, my passion 
A gift to mankind
What better, a purchase 
Than To rewind time

We have a secret
Unknown by majority 
We capture the moments
Naked eyes can't see

There is invisible beauty
Only artists can notice
It lies in perception 
Point of focus

My camera, an instrument
Uncanny sight
It sees what you cannot
No prejudice or trite

Don't misconstrue
Talent required
To freeze these moments
Before they retire

Untouched

Take from me that which you will Those things that I possess Strip from me the trinkets That speak of my success Look at me with jaundiced eye With disdain on your face Treat me as subordinate Keep me in my place Speak to me with vitriol Mock my point of view Contradict my every word Their meaning misconstrue I can overlook these things As you strive to denigrate Because the measure of a man Is forgiving those who hate

Three Little Words

Just a little missive, a note, a billet doux,
words scratched out on paper, strictly entre nous.
No literary masterpiece, not even clever prose,
just words strung together, but they're the ones I chose
to let you know my feelings and the depth of my affection
please accept them unadorned, without any circumspection.
When used with neither thought nor care, designed to misconstrue,
three little words, seven letters, four vowels, implicitly, I love you!

Another Person's Mind

You never really know what’s in
Another person’s mind.
If you could look, who knows
The kind of secrets you would find.

Though face and body language 
May give off a subtle clue,
It’s not enough to figure out
Or maybe misconstrue.

So you can guess, though there’s a chance
That what you had assumed
Is far from the reality
Mistakenly presumed.

The only way to know, then,
Is to come right out and ask;
Then ascertaining honesty
Becomes another task.

Slighted

My secrets are bestowed,
Upon the chosen few
Oh please, don’t feel slighted
If one of them's not you
For I need one to confide in
And this is sad, but true
The conclusions that you jump to
Are in words you misconstrue
You'll resurrect a rumor
If you think it can be run
You'll cut one down in humor
But insist it's all in fun
Yeah, I don't trust your intent
Your tongue's a vicious blade
And I won't share my thoughts with you
'Cause that's how lies are made
