Smokescreen

Do I miss you, or do I miss the smoke -
Of your promise on my lips?
Both are warming on a chilly night,
But here I struggle to breathe, I choke.

Missing Girl

Missing Girl?
They have a child, a little girl
A special gift a diamond a pearl
The left her alone so they could play
They find her dead the next day.
Fake the scene, make it safe 
Make it clean. Call the law
When there’s no incrimination
Spend a few hours down the 
Station, blame the phantom
Who doesn’t exist. Form a charity

Smokescreen

A thin wisp
Like fingers entwining
Opening like a budding flower
Skywards

Taking a path, a grey meander
Spooling and curling
Relying on a gentle breeze
For safe passage

The momentary heat on wood
Sublimating to perfumed wonder
Entering my body to 
Ensnare the soul

The scent which evokes
For each a different memory,
A feeling; but to all…
Solace, fortitude, release

Smokescreen

11/6/22

Still I struggle to find the words
As I fight the urge
I'll either go under a tidal surge
Or make it out in the end I might emerge

Everyday, I've been getting carried away
Just putting myself closer to the stairway
Still they judge how dare they
Whatever happened to the concept of fairplay?

Down a path full of oak leaves
It's unclear

Smokescreen

Science…
 bastard child
of philosophy
and reason
formulaic delinquent
of an answer
in flux
Serving itself
as it shuns
its true
master
bowing down
to its 
tenets
the truth

The Truth Behind the Smokescreen

Staring at the stubborn facts
I stand face to face with a sneering fate
Legalized pot. Transitive 
Bondage sold as liberty
Man made destructive phase
Don't lie to us as if we're back at puberty

I see you Bobojan, hiding behind a finger
Trying to hide the initial figures
Beckoning with subliminal fingers. Go figure
I tell people be careful, the aftertaste will

Smokescreen

Have you heard who’s coming to town? 
Why, she’s only the very best actress in around!
She can make you angry,  make you cry
She can make you laugh so hard you’ll wonder if you’re high
Always graceful and always sweet
The kind of girl anyone would want to meet
But when the curtain closes at the end of

Smokescreen

Can they see me through my camouflage
Do you see how hard I try
Its just became so routine now
To answer questions with a lie

I dont know why Im like this
Its a heavy load to bare
I can never just say im hurting
Deep down I know they care

So who exactly am I fooling
When each time i brush it

Behind the Smokescreen

Behind the Smokescreen

Smoke screens on all sides;
Makes for hidden truths and purposed lies.
Imperfect vision clouded by events;
Distraction of human common sense.

Storm clouds, fog, and rain;
Confuses the masses in disdain.
Step outside the modern realm;
To stay is to become over whelmed.

Where truths are hidden and answers denied;
Go to where introspection applies.
Solitude away from all the voices;
You have

Hiding Behind a Smokescreen

Some people hide behind smokescreens
so that they can deceive others,
with elaborate schemes,
hoping to fulfill their dreams on the 
sweat of the innocent,
refusing to repent,
refusing to be remorseful,
concocting lies while precious time flies,
until nothing has been accomplished.
