Betty was not very tall
Her shoes seem to be small
She walked with a limp
Mistaken for a gimp
Or an excess of alcohol

Their sounds are not mistaken
Do you think it’s because they know
Soon they’ll be chops, ham and bacon?

Paradise

His heart awakens 
Eyes taken 
In a soft gaze upon the moon 
Had he been mistaken? 
To find such beauty 
Within divine love so true

Already knew it was here.

costumed in uncommon pattern

Painting words with craft unshaken
takes time like building a skyscraper.

More than offered
Too long pondered
Sitting smiling
Happy yet somber
Risky relations
Offered not taken
Unconscious unbroken
Maybe mistaken

Truth of the matter

Mistaken for reason 
It’s humanity’s treason 

Belief is a thief
That reaps only grief

A Symphony of Pain

Heart piercing violin
dull sounds of a piano
vibrating your voice 
through my soul
an impulse not
mistaken to be 
the drums of my heart
... running

Than ever forget about you or leave you forsaken.

between perfection and greatness,
between the mistaken and the evil,
between death and life,
between illusion and love

A bad crime has landed me in jail,
I also told the judge "Go to hell,"
for while serving the time

Sammy his name, he knew the score.
His friends said, he was smart,
Then upon a dinner cart,
He said, Hey, I am not an albacore.

VICE PRESIDENT

A vice president can’t
Over-ride a president’s choice
Because the president has
The final say-so on everything
If I’m not mistaken, so
How can they be at fault

There once came a grey haired old man.
Or am I mistaken was it rather a ma'am?
Nevertheless he big brought gifts
And climbed big cliffs
To deliver them to his little fans.
