you're a cheat,
you're unreliable,
you're a fake,
you're a liar,
you're a heartbreaker,
you're a complication,
you're a dissappointment,
you're a man....

There once were two elderly vicars
Who had unreliable tickers
But they perked up no end 
When they saw a lass bend
And got a good view of her knickers...

Stalled out completely on an abandoned road 
Phone service is left unreliable 
The nearest town is miles away 
Karma has finally done its due diligence 
Mysterious cries echo throughout the corn field 
Just a loner on a lonely road---
Or am I?...

Needing again to find the
words to convey—where
did the need come from?

Unreliable thoughts that 
birth the damnedest 
feelings yet lack the 
cognizance to see
reality—

it hurts to breathe 
when all I can do is 
exhale and anticipate 
failures—

I'm tired of needing
Meaning.
I'm sick of 
Falling Short....

unreachable dreams
of heroes unsung
unfeeling screams
of hearts come undone
              unreliable sources
              speaking the unmentionable
              undeniable forces
              advocating the unfathomable
unraveling of the mind
when truth is uncovered
unquestionable this find
previously undiscovered...

Death the silent lover
always near but far
dedicated to his work
unreliable but faithful 
he waits today
but  hurries tomorrow
sees, hears his lover
but lover sees him not
he waits as lover feeds
but when he comes 
swallows lover wholesale

This silent listener
seeing with eyes closed
hearing with ears blocked
precarious unpredictable
he is!...

I'm drowning in it 
Drifting here and there
All this emotion
A life of chaos
But who can I tell?
They will not understand 
How do I explain? 
I'm drifting in an ocean
Anchored down by a mere thread
An unreliable chain
That I wish I could just break 
I want to be washed away
Yet so many want me to stay
But only if I hide the true side of myself 
And protect them from this incredible mess...

Do not cross that line.
Go right to the edge,
back away
survive to draw another line
another day.

Sand is unreliable,
it shifts perspective
makes lines squiggle,
disappear
come back red with blood.

Sail not too close to the wind
that blustery vortex
has an invisible line
that runs through it,
for there be dragons.

Don't cross that line
even if
it's only a thought in your head.

Do not....

The conversation
takes an crushy turn - so my 
brain starts making quips.

My experience is
that my amorous impulses
are unreliable.

With my friends, my flawed,
carnivalesque attempts
at romance are legend.

Unless I'm starved
for embarrassment's grief
which I seldom am.

I will dodge, slither,
obfuscate and stall attempts
at intimacy.

What if I’m the 
Kind of girl that guys can’t
just fall in love with?...

Free breakfast for educators all week the TV said
We ran toward the restaurant, all teachers willing to be fed
I beat two cars that were as blue as my car is red
We got in line, but I was ahead

I waved at them, to show no hard feelings of course
One of them gave me a head-nod like a stuck-up horse.
The other one ignored me, he is not friendly, Mr. Borse.
He also has other bad qualities according to an unreliable source....

He was unreliable in many more ways then just the one,
Stretched his black wings and left his family for fun,
Now his life is complete as he sits at a computer screen,
Leading others from God with pornography that is obscene.

Latching on to the innocent and those who are pure,
Hand in hand with satan to coax and then to lure,
Nothing worthy beats in his black little heart,
Throwing horrible contests to rip the sad apart....

love you as their leader
follow you til death
haunt you with their symmetry
chill your icy neck

unreliable and deceiving 
theyll change what others see
bound to you forever
choose to not be free

few noticeable when daylight
millions when night abounds
whisper again until youre deaf
yet you only hear the sound

remind you of your lost sins
leave you to watch your back
praise you as they follow
but your shadows will attack....

Half-buried in a mud pit,
a polluter bares all, body and soul.
Hands bound, ready to be stoned
to death.

A god was going to kill a god.
A dense judgement of planet green
of an unreliable sun
scribbling a code of conduct.

My god, I will go insane.
Save my woods I say. How can
be the adam was so naked running
in a race gene altered ?

My arthritic fingers again lift
a mansion of gold leaves, dissolving
the sky.

Witch Hazel failed her flying test.
She crashed her broom.
The worst marks in the wicked west,
they sealed her doom.
Her magic was deniable.
Her spells were unreliable.
Too low, too fast, I would assume.
She crashed her broom.

But Hazel wanted to be best,
the brightest bloom.
With lots of practice, she progressed
and shed her gloom.
She took the test a second time,
but struggled as she tried to climb.
Police blamed alcohol consumed.
She crashed her broom....

My Heart ; thinking of unreliable things , 
	of things that claw and the 
things that gore.
	Lifting their heads in happy adoration 
to take half thy canvas in.
	Now coming back from the first to last
Night or days o'er 
	everything but sleep in all  thy
pleasures , not that smart, should 
	I feel.
		A gaping space that feedeth 
the blessed. Yes ; or pass quickly 
	into the skies laughing 
w-/ out cause in the night.
	Now clear as glass ; and now Dark
Light....

Listen to poem:

" ...betrayal begins with trust." Quote_ Phish  

Betrayal is the cold shiny sword
of stalking deception,
sheathed in scabbard of trust.
Its two-edged blade is 
honed to razor sharp,
ready to thrust, lunge and parry
a touche touch.

Betrayal is two-faced
and unreliable.
There's a switch blade in
the hand that reaches out
trustingly and faithfully
for more of you.

So as trust grows,
beware that it sows
the seeds of scorns 
in the thorns
of treachery
and bribery....
