Premium Member Money Trickery

I found out
All that money is
Not needed
Cash doesn’t
Cure pain, sadness, and sorrow
And can’t buy pure love

Russell Sivey

Chinese Whispers

Chinese whispers
up and down
round and round
spins
effortlessly
into unguarded
hollows
deceived
beginnings
ends at
destined
trickery.

No Second Chances

We could ride the storm 
Get banged, bruised  and survive
But we may never get a second chance
To rectify damages we've cause through
Trickery and lies

No Question About It

Such a simple question heaven forbid.
There’s no trickery that has been hid.
Would I be able to guess,
how many live in U.S. -
I replied, I thought everyone did.

Premium Member And Now For His Nexttrick

He defies gravity
He defies energy
He defies the atmosphere
He defies normalcy
He defies trickery
He defies natural disasters
And now for his next trip.
Oops…..


One Answer

"Show us God", they cried aloud
Said with trickery from the crowd

Then a faint voice served with smile
Said, "Look my friends,
Look at the child!"

Just Be

Time, a fancy thing
Concocted to distract the mind 
With idle trickery
Then and now
When and where
A question of reality
There is only here
Always here
Always now
Just BE

Trickery

i witnessed your trickery
but could you see mine?
it still seems a mystery
perfectly timed
i guess when it hits you
as matter of fact
that lesson wont miss you
to surely react

Premium Member Fox

quick sight… caught
a creamy, frothy tail
skulking behind bins
caramel
this creeping tod 
wry trickery, claw
prowl and sly, brazen
he's getting too brave
soon…
a knock on the door

Premium Member A Quickie

A QUICKIE

At last resorting to trickery
faking orgasms so stickily
that the bed sheets adhered
to her bush, and his beard
pleased it was over so quickily.

Premium Member It's a Trap

Watch out, don't spell “part” backward, it's a “trap” Many men have succumbed, ended with a lawsuit in their lap We must stay alert Such trickery to avert Whether part or trap, it's a costly handicap

Plastic Bag

A plastic bag appeared in my dream,
Polluting my thoughts of love
A sign or trickery it may seem
Sent from way above

I look outside and see the garden
My face begins to sag
Oh Lord, I beg your pardon
A rose in a plastic bag

Rainbow Heart

Rainbows know no trickery.

They are but a reflection of 
     God 
     Himself
in a heaven-sized water droplet.

A promise made a millennium ago
as the floods receded after 40 days.

The purest logic sent from above.

Premium Member Exploitation

Printing paper money,
which they so adore.
Point a finger at US,
claim we owe more.
How does that figure?
Who keeps the score?
All legal trickery,
with deceit and war.
Beyond Sensibility,
They have no answer for.
Exploiting, We the People,
Whom they Ignore.

Changeling

Dancing with the darkness
Accursed creature of the night
Wearing a mask of humanity
To hide that twisted trickery
Then playing demon music
Pipes wail a beauty's curse
Stealing life and children
From our loving tender kin
Twisted vile changing
Go back to darkened dreaming

The Transparency of War Paint

Submerged skin deep
in solace,
you play trickery
in your silent rebellion.
Soil claims sanctuary 
on defiant children
like your veil lingers.
You're still sweet.
Sheepish smile behind war paint,
we're not so different 
you and I.
I too have bled music
during my vow of silence
and given myself up.

Two Sisters, One Man

Two sisters, one man-
Well-tricked for his trickery,
Jacob gained two wives.

Two sisters, one man-
One weak-eyed and unwanted;
One was beautiful.

Two sisters, one man-
In love he wept for Rachel,
For sons loved Leah.

Two sisters, one man-
Mandrakes, sex bartered in hopes
Both would feel equal.

Dream Within a Dream

Paralyzed and half sleep
I can't move as I try to wake
I struggle to rise from my slumber and stand on my feet

Trickery from sleep hypnopompic
Wish I could wake,
this experience is atrophic

Vivid was the dream
Battling a sleep spell
Disturbing was its theme

I awake questioning reality
Is this real?
Is this a duality?
Form: Lyric

Ease of Pain

Shred me apart with secrets so quiet, bring madness to my days as I weep- I’ve seen you there causing a riot, and now I can’t find any good sleep. Trickery must be available inside, loveliness has gone with the breeze- I can run but no one to confide, and the pain beneath puts me at ease. October 2, 2016

Premium Member Leaving Love Behind

I am leaving love
Behind~

Your trickery 
Took 
The last little
Bit of it.

I have become
Brittle,
Dry like desert
Sand and wind

Patiently 
     Painting
          Pretty
               Patterns

Into illusions;
Magic mirages
Made of nebulous 
Daydreams,

Destined to disappear,
Leaving me
Lonely and lost
In despair.

Premium Member 'illusion'

Head Space

Paralysed with fear I awoke
surrounded by vampires feasting
Diabolical, my eyes provoke
Normality is decreasing
Now an alien abduction
Whisking me aboard a spacecraft
Blood pulsating introduction
Halloween alcoholic draught
Cautionary trickery dawns
Reality hangover yawns

Premium Member Little Fingers


From the time that he’s awake 
his little fingers start to quake 
posting lies to suit his needs 
planning out his dirty deeds 

Wide awake in dead of night
planning out new cons for spite
making out a target list
balling-up his tiny fist

Counting up his many foes
using fingers, tiny toes
fueled by hate and bigotry
led by greed and trickery
Form: Rhyme

Violent Is the Mind Feeble Is the Tongue

V is for the violent images created by the ID
I  is for the immaculate figmentations that come to play
O is for the opticals of illusions
L is for the lucidness I have yet to succumb to
E is for the evolution of child's play to harmful reality
N is for the nonsense my tongue blurts out  in insanity
T is for trickery schizo-affective plays on me like a leprechaun
