Wrapped in rainbows,
Will somersault in clouds
Of gardenias,
Dancing around
Celestial heavens!

Promises, Promises

Be aware that what you see
And read is always honesty.
I know my heart and mind agree
On this at least: you're right for me.

Please don’t say “I promise” - This is to people everywhere,
Because as soon as we say the word, we break it then and there.

Whose promises are twisty.

Promises are counts of time.

Stickers of truth.

Like fiddle strings,

So taught.

Not to turn tables.

Till the placid waters

character marked for life
scraping the barrel
secret promises of fertility

I would kill to keep you
And I would spend my whole live traveling
Just to spend my last moments with you

Seen Through

Your smoke and Mirrors
could never fool me
you thought me blinded
by prettily spoken promises
Translucent Lies ~ seen through!

Decisions

Decisions make us what we are,
   Be sure to make them wise...

For we cannot deceive ourselves,
   Through promises or lies...

Cry

I want to sleep,
it doesn't hurt.

Sleep fails me
hopeless I pretend

making promises
hide from pain.

I smile,
as I wake

Choices

Choices are 
Forgotten promises
Tucked away
Within out hearts
Where no one sees
Only to rediscover
Too late
To reconcile them

Cardboard Love

Her eyes blinding mine,
My mind couldn't see she was
A cardboard hot ride;
All the perky promises
Sagged on the first rainy night

glib smiles and handshakes
empty promises and lies
you offer false hope
evil intent is hidden 
your true soul is well disguised

Pilfered promises
Needless to my somethings
Landslide refractions
Where angels think twice to tread
And fools rush to their finish

Beware Bush and Blair
With false promises they swear
Weapons they declare
Bringing us all to a scare
They’re as a pair a nightmare
war
