I had forgotten the world 
As in love with you was I

I’m very much aware of the world now

POSITIVE THINKING POETRIX





               Usury and surplus value,
                barbarity and treachery
          do not adorn with love and poetry....

Untitled

Impossible lies and treachery spewed
Sold dreams of an unreachable reality
In the end deception was the game
It was my heart that was played

WE ARE STILL HERE





       Barbarity and treachery
        are not things of God...
     true resistance of the innocent,
        yes, it is a divine thing...!

The freshness of dawn
Treachery brought along. 
When her life saw death.

take the lot and run
go hide amongst treachery,
take all give nothing
now laws passed to protect you,
only the blameless; guilty.

Garden of Hate

Hate grows in the garden of treachery,
grass is cyanide green and trees howling haunts of vampires green,
blooms are in danger red,with wicked smiles and killer fragrances that are mean.

666

666...
the number of the beast
vexillium of soldiers
marching without souls
debauchery, treachery
destroying all they see
look to your left
then to your right
they look like you and me

Requiem

silver fortress standing tall
golden secrets kept within
arid desert does surround
this perfect imperfection

treachery knocks upon the gate
armed with sweetest offerings
enters forth and loudly sings
a diabolical requiem

Treachery

What would you think, if:
while tailing an orchestra of dinosoars 
one secretly turned to you 
and invited you into a cave 
to watch his favourite act;
the murder of one of his friends

The Battle For the Nhs

On the rise, as you approach our local Hospital, there's what's left of a homemade 'We 'heart' the NHS' banner.
Only now it's just a pole with a piece of crumpled, red stained sheet falling from it.
The bloodied flag of a battle sadly lost.

The Spiral

A gentlemanly stranger
plays delicious treachery, 
behind a deceiving laugh.

Never the desire to love
or take you seriously.
He consumes your hot desire.

Your hero finally here,
blinded by your white passion,
you dive into the spiral.

I'll drink this dark chalice of bitter wine
And let my blood spill on the chosen ground
The blade he holds shall be a slayer of mine
To save you from the treachery I found

Premium Member Treachery

A gray cat, stealthy crept,
tall grass his tactic cover.
Was he a Robin Hood?
Nay! More apt a Robin's
demise.

A conqueror to his kin.
A devil to wings that fly.
My truth, may be your
everything?  Or, just another
Seducer's lies....?

Premium Member Winds

Treacherous strong winds
Wind untamed, wild and cruel,
Invisible strength.

Leaves swirl, dance, and spin,
Branches groaning under weight,
Nature’s treachery.

Path fraught with danger,
Wind howls, warns of deception,
Unseen perils lurk.

Premium Member My Hand Is Me

Here within my hand,
you will find all that is me.
Held open so you know,
I hide no treachery.
My fist is not in anger,
but closed against greed.
My handshake is my word.
My hand plants many seeds.

Delilah

Delilah, just the name carries 

a lot of connotations 

A manipulator,scandalous,  

and a woman of temptations 

Her beauty is skin deep

But her treachery's like an abyss 

Lies dwell in her eyes, 

There's poison in her kiss

We watch from afar. We wring our hands
seeing the treachery of our governments
who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again.

Premium Member Friend Or Fake

The treachery of a false friend
is sudden, cutting—always cruel;
his knavery observes no end
and he’ll use you like a drunk fool. 

He’ll play you like a violin,
like a puppet on a tight string;
before long he’ll get you to sin
and do a lawless, evil thing.

Covetousness

Longing to possess
belongings of fellowman.
Perfidious unseen want
enrobed in sweetness.
Treachery rooted deep down.
Stealing begins in the heart.

Magritte's Treachery

(Based on the painting “The Treachery of Images” by René Magritte)

If you label symbols traitors
Since they’re only indicators
Rather than the actual things they signify,
Then you’re logically unable
To affirm your very label
Is a truth and not a metaphoric lie.
