slyly teases...

Secrets:
Slyly discrete;
Suspense no-one forgets;
Seriousness not without heat:
Repeat....

We agreed on this
I stamp on your toe, slyly
You cannot feel it
Eyes on what you want the most
This is why you kept me home....

Autumn…
             Grips summer’s hand
           Slyly – at time’s whimsy
 Quelling heated, tantrumed outbursts
                    …Cool rain...

My dentist’s such a sadistic guy
No injection, I emit a cry
Open mouthed at his bill
Pain is much worse until
Quite slyly I knee him in his fly!

Five fingers of joy
slyly, coyly burgles; he's
absconding with koi.
As you like it, as you wish;
carpe carpum: seize the fish!

Siblant esses slyly sneaking
doubling your portion size
turning singular to plural
as you order beer and pies
so don't become at every meal
fat, like a snake that ate a wagon wheel...

THE SPRING NORTH SEA HURRICANE

                          Pussy willow slyly licked her paws
                          While heartless winds
                          Battered haughty ships into the sea

Who sneaks stealthily into my mind
and creates an upheaval?
Who knocks slyly at the door of my soul
and sets my heart pounding?
Who sheds a teardrop on my grave and sets it ablaze…
Heavens, beware!

Mackintosh had a magnetic sister
who's eyes were green Kryptonite.

At age ten seductive Loke
(he of the windmill eyes),
set forest fires
where no fuel burned,
tormented nerves to abuse skin.

Mackintosh's sister,
no stranger to malarkey within
slyly winked....

Encircled,
words shed gratuitously
from floored jaw.

Enriching,
ambit of deceits shroud,
wrapping your smile
in compliments halos.

Vixen verbs 
slyly ambush objections.
A tactic of precision,
to melt your innocent mask

and conquest;

A smile upon my lips....

What could go wrong.
It all looked so good on paper
The numbers, the artist concept.
When I arrived home I asked:
“how’d it go today, dear”
He grinned slyly and replied:
“great, the puppy hit the paper
                                    ...three times out of four”.

Slowly you wind your net
Intent upon a snare....beware
Slyly he comes interest he feigns in your day....
He comments on the weather
While your feet are fixed in a snare

His two edged sword is placed for a quick kill
His mercy is protective of his time
For time is money!!...

Shallow sands spill,
Sharp like silver.
Several strong soldiers stand
Sequentially like steel.
Suffer so short like strangers.
So soon , so shallow, so still.
Sorry standards slyly stroke;
Send six, seven sterling swans,
Seamless, storied, swallowed.
Seas sail sanctimoniously
Severed like the war itself....

Quiet your midnight song
pulling and knocking at
the ear of my tearful heart
abandoned at twilight long ago...

Sing no more your melodies
of love full of riddles...
Free me from the clutches of
Your moon-lit spell.

So slyly you smile as if to warn
of tomorrow's awakening when
you have tossed aside your mask of 
ravenous desire.

“Perpetual Peace is only found in the graveyard.” ~Immanuel Kant

Wrapped within the folds of death
the soul of silence snuggles slyly
and the somber sphere of solitude
scatters the spirit of serenity willy-nilly.

Once a stranger in my eyes
It all started in a speed of light
A casual talk, how gentle and nice
A whole day until an endless night
Those sweet exchange of compliments
Those senseless arguments
In a glance, it got my heart pounding
Rushing all up to my thoughts and dreams
Beyond words, beyond all manifestations
My love is for real, no slyly intentions....

Whispered words curl greedily around my soul,
slipping slyly from your poisoned lips,
enveloping my being in your deception.
Delicately promising a love of pure decadence,
yet each word is laced with intricate malice,
barbed wire hatred masquerading  as rose petals.
Caught in webs of your lies,
silently pleading for insanity's solitude,
as I languish in your core of glass....

Hiding Dark Side

      Cunning camouflage of fake charm
      hiding malice in breath
      may be skill of some one.
      showing smiling face.
     
       Bright splendid luminosity,
      silhouette underneath 
      dark side slyly covered.
       Yet searching scope to stab at back.

River Rules

They strain against the confines of her flow, seeking release,
aware of naught but the river’s instinctual calling.
The mock applause of clumsy bears slyly spurring them on
offering feigned assistance over the cascading roar.
Nature’s justification - “survival of the fittest”.
