TRUST

Trust is number one
With and in anything
When you break
That trust, who's 
Going to believe 
Anything you say
NO ONE!

LIES II

Lies are told
Mistrust sets in
Betrayal happens
Because of that
You lose the people
Close to you, are
People that's on 
Your side
They back away

Gentle eyes that twitch at every sound

Premium Member Saying Things Simply

The words shift over
When the heart grieves with mistrust
And life seems complex with her
Saying things simply
Can prevent splaying of pain
Increased by those staring eyes

Bloody Children

All those times

Mouths of different

History of war,

Mistrust,

Insecurity.

Ten thousand years

Excuses for killing,

Mocking,

Insecurity.


The Stupid's brethren,

Bloody children.

Premium Member Strong Misgivings--

Fitful gusts
Occasional thunderstorms
Sunless cannonades
Refreshing breezes
Little gusts
Interesting seedpods
Violent lusts
Emotional whirlwinds, mistrust
Strong misgivings

Trust, a Multi-Petalled Flower

Trust, a multi-petalled rarest flower,
Easy that never grows on a bower.
Mistrust blooms and trust dies,
Rare again to arise,
Should it still, shines atop a tall tower.

Heartaches

When heartbeats race, it could be love.
   Loves lonely heart yearns for romance.
   Romance with secrets, loves heartbroken.
   Heartbroken love dies with mistrust.
   Mistrust like rust corrodes two lonely hearts.

Premium Member The Prophetic

absolute insight,
           so rare
brings mistrust,
creates anxiety,
perhaps:
but often
   is influence,
encourages
         empathy
facilitates
        interest...
yet is singled out
not admired...but
feared..
..seen as bizarre

MISTRUST GOD WHY---

So many sleepless nights
Many more hurt people
God why...

So many mistrusts
Many believe no in Christ
Lord why...

World dry your eyes
Change your lives
God why???

Premium Member Fields of Love

Her promising look

Her faint smile

Her innocent touch

Were enough to thaw the 

Winter's frost of mistrust 

And

Let his heart free to bloom in 

Spring's awaiting fields of 

Love!

Premium Member A Terrorist Strikes

As the local transit bus stopped and unloaded
Seconds after, a powerful bomb exploded.
We knew that terrorists had struck again, 
Causing mistrust and fear, to everyone’s chagrin
Nearby a ten-story apartment house imploded.

Premium Member Cleanse the Surface of My Soul-

Feather duster-- Is that what my body is Complicit? How can you muster The dust that mistrust Dead follicles Every microscopic particle Sweep left to right Cleanse the surface of my Immortal soul

I Overheard

I overheard harsh words
between two lovers next door,
each bearing shields
of mistrust and pride
that covered the words
‘I love you’.

Their door slowly opens
and her crying issued forth
upon this neighbor near
a memory fresh and clear
of words I never spoke
‘I love you’.

Hijack

Hijack


Strategy employed in a hijack
You cannot tell or crack
Each time, new clever tricks
That are a plus to statistics!
Criminals, they say, are ahead
Is it not alertness that is dead?

Mistrust even your shadow
And avert this baleful blow!!

Premium Member Farewell False Foe

You pompous poison

Maze of monotonous mistrust

Frail heart full of treason

 

Delirious repentance

Blasphemous bait betrayed

Regret grown grief

 

Fire flaming fantasy filled

A fate framed future foretold

Love can now rest knowing

Your destined diabolical death

Farewell false foe

Lies Are Powerless Up Against Mistrust

Occasionally right,
However, mostly wrong
Like fraudulent daylight,
Tall tales which suffer long
That frequent deafened ears,
So demonstrates belief.
Anticipating fears
May offer some relief.
While filtering the smoke
Of life's insanity,
The gasping children choke.
From predators prey flea.
Form: Rhyme

Love Is

Hurt confusion still holds its grip
Trying to raise above the pain of total betrayal
Truth has opened my eyes
This was not love
Love doesn't hurt, guilt or mistrust
Love is devotion, kindness and understanding
Love is compassion and selflessness
Love is not sacrificing who you are, it is embracing everything you are

Lips that tasted like mistrust

He asked me to kiss him today like he usually did….
Dabbing my back like an impatient kid needing the loo
I tiredly turned slowly to his usually soft forehead kiss….
… but today his lips tasted like mistrust. 
The kind layered in smirks of betrayal
Mucus sounds and other disgusting visuals 
for his twisted amusement...
