Surreptitious and remote
Expeditious and cutthroat
Crazy, Tough, Desperate, Vicious
Such was life on a boat
That swam with the fishes...

Silence
Sometimes golden
Other times not beholden
Surreptitious sounds suddenly start
Colossal fear creeps slowly inside me
Inexplicable turmoil fills my being confused...

Serotonin cradles

Surreptitious advance 

Super happy hormones

Sensual surrender

Sex love lust happiness

Sugar candy mountain

Seeps blissfully licked

Epitomy and Symettry of Trump Stupidity

We started being  enveloped by epitome,
Of what did turn out to be the symmetry,
Not countable;
Unsurmountable,
Amount of Trump's  surreptitious stupidity.

burst of rapid energy
voluptuous curves of
your flirting innocence
angels intoxicated by the
patrons of branded love
dance in the mouth of a
surreptitious storm
witnessing the loud past
of a circulating wind
we are making
our bed...

Muffled dialogue ennui sequestered intimacy so distant,
                                                    smothered in ebbing surreptitious fantasy.
                                                                              Musing how close is close?...

KILLER

Saturnine sleeper of the night,
Soaring slowly, out of sight,
Sleekly shadowing the gloom,
Silent harbinger of doom,
Innocent assassin, surreptitious, sly,
Stainless scandal slipping by,
Scything swiftly through the dark,
Hark the herald warning: Shark....

Now, I join Nightwish
Only, I soar
High above the birds
High above you
For, whatever I near
I seer
Therefore, I must hide!
Surreptitious steps, within my own omnipotent greatness
Oh how, in the land of angels,
I am preeminent!
Number one! I am on top.
I am… perfect....

Silken linens scented of 

  last night's rendezvous,

     still wafting midst

         reticent moments, 

cognac and aromatic

   candlelight burning 'neath

      surreptitious breaths, 

  as we unfurled

     sultry seduction's poetry 

              'tween clandestine shadows...

true feelings 
concealed craftily
beneath the sheath 
of saccharine psyche 

fragile fantasy 
of self sanguinity 
fostered
by colors 
of chameleon skin

spurious emotions
sprawl surreptitious
pretentiously 
paraded skillfully
away from 
edge of reason
epitomize deftly 
camouflaged ego

Demure young maiden
A bucolic bungalow
A fallen hero

Situation hot
Gray thick diaphanous smog
Cannot cool it

Desultory dance
A quick surreptitious
Fine country wedding

Grandma’s tailsmen
The bride adorned with daisies
Murmurous rumors

A nonchalant groom
A sempiternal set up
Quintessential joy...

It is no mystery      I'm in a quandary     The look on my pretty face     Is a bit misplaced   The surreptitious halo floating askew above me   Gives the impression I'm quit free   But quite the contrary      I in fact can be a provocateur for sure     But please continue to think     That I am sweet innocent and pure...

Oh, clear sky you speak to me.
Let me bask in the sun and weep to thee.
Stumbling across the pavement,
Thinking “this is my home” if I can’t pay rent.
Take me sauntering down the street
On a surreptitious retreat 
Where no one knows my name.
I’ve seen the best of my days slip past me.
I would have said that “I’m not fine”
But no one asked me....

Hollow to follow
Willow never shallow 
     Surreptitious 
      Lithe
Yellow for show
Mellow for a pillow 
       An umbrella 
       Sempiternal

Little pockets of hearts break off with time
And with that the stone has to recover with each chime
Because of the 'major' interruption of the whole    
The stone is left with another hollow hole...

Blowing out the candles on my cake 
I muse with the music of this mortal sphere. 
And congratulate and condole at once; 
The agony and ecstasy meld in one celestial ball 
Unkempt with imagined beauty and power- 
Beyond reckoning. 
Confine it not, nor fetter,nor furl 
But let fly surreptitious sobriety 
That hath on winged fancy flown 
And forever toward Heaven's unboundedness....

creaking rust
spread to my tissues
am growing masses of
bulges appear out of hi-
ding sweat trickles odour
of yesterday humming like
tropical mosquitoes escalati-
ng the growth of surreptitious
microorganisms girls on the bikes
giggling and gossiping i watch like
a saint middle aged mamas perspiri-
ng ammonia and urea swirl in artifici

You can't pizazz good poetry
It's more of a creepy, crawly thing.
How do you like my alliteration?
Stop snorting, good golly
(prescribing popcorn pureed in petulance)
okay, at least I tried... truly ;)
ps, am not into popularity.
just jivin.
don't dawdle
or drivel or drink much or dribble or
worry
stream of consciousness....
Ms. Mills taught me that
seems surreptitious to stop suddenly.
So I shall....

Waves washing over darkness inside the soul
Corrosion of impurities hidden deep within

Bringing to light the colors of this continuous hole
Disintegration of surreptitious sin 

New beginning, old endings, life anew 
Someday this spirit shall be again complete

The fortification of parts, the ending of two
A diamond made out of the simplest of coal 

Soon, the inside of my inside 
Shall be immortally whole...

CLANDESTINE

Clandestine…
nice and clean
her intent
candle glow..
all for show
his beguile
mesmerized
hypnotized
enticed 
lured

Clandestine…
anodyne
 arena
underground
concealed
furtively
she bares
her
soul
lured

Clandestine…
surreptitious
squeaky clean
secretively
seduced
conceded 
surrendered
and then..

DO
NOT
DISTURB

The fearsome Bulldog strolls 
as a robust reminder
to those exhibiting various traits 
of hooligan grinder.

He keeps a close watch 
for surreptitious acts of malice
from those who sneak a peek 
then retreat to their palace.

Kings and Queens 
who flaunt their gargantuan pride.
Be careful where you trod 
the dog hears every lie.

Blocked by most of the sugar crowd 
with their game.
The level of hypocrisy wielded 
just adds to the shame....
