Navigating the Treacherous Waters of Office Politics

In office halls, where silhouettes loom,
Beware the boss who calls you aside to manipulate,
A trap awaits, where whispers seal your destiny,
Keep colleague woes locked deep, an unspoken weight.

Security's helping hand may hold a test,
Expectation's seed, in every coin you nest,
Proximity breeds contempt, a subtle art,
One day's omission, and you're branded apart.

Close friendships forged in workplace

Premium MemberUnder the gray velvet sky, treacherous winds sketch memories for you

Under the gray velvet sky, treacherous winds sketch memories for you,
The closed window cannot stop the pain that pierces your soul deeply,
Beyond the horizon, another thirsty soul seeks the same breath of wind,
Like a wild river carving its path through the stones of silence.
Open your eyes and look deep into my silent gaze,
Your path is

Treacherous Tears 

These tear tracks through make up
Give me away
Red rimmed  eyes and rosy nose 
Say, " I'm not okay"...
But if you see me like this
Try not to look too close
I'm concealing secrets 
I'd rather you not know
And if you give me 
a sympathetic smile
My thin "I'm ok"mask 
will crack and then I'll
Lose this

Treacherous Heart

A treacherous heart has the capacity to lie.
It can sometimes fake pain,
But it’s killing inside.
A treacherous heart has the capacity to lie.
It celebrates heartbreak,
But it just wants to die.

Maybe it’s fine to tell the truth once in your life.
Maybe it’s fine to weep your tears
Like it’s been a while.
Maybe it’s okay to show your vulnerability.
Maybe

Burning Bushes Treacherous Cargo

"Burning Bushes Treacherous Cargo"

They say hell 
is on fire 

but there in 
The Lawrence Forest 
exist many, 
burning bushes 
waiting on deliverance
delivering messages,
hidden shadow angels
waiting for their
Bardo exodus

they are 
allowed to 
come and go 
but they are 
drawn back 
to their torched
habitats 
like moths
to flames

their footprints
scorch the missing years
in the desert sand, 
the place of

Treacherous their ways
    without sunlight's rays
  Paths of sleet and ice
    break our limbs in a trice

  Youths may look, leap and laugh

Love's Treacherous Road

What a treacherous road true love can take
for paramours eager to taste desire,
but one their kindred hearts would not forsake.

For Water and Fire, passion meant heartbreak.
Intimacy for them could never transpire.
What a treacherous road true love can take

His fervid flames would make her steam and quake.
Her touch would drown hope for them to conspire,
but one

Pray For Peace

Pray for relief and pray for peace.
Pray for you and pray for me.
Pray for the pain that I cannot see,
and the people homeless with nothing to eat.

Pray for the world in this treacherous time.
Pray for the truth untold - and those living a lie.
Pray for the bold - that they continue to try.
Pray for the

Hacking the Fact

Secret eyes
hide behind a smile
the jokers grin
masking a deliberate betrayal

Misdirection and diversion
the covert sneak offender
working in the hush-hush
thinking the fooled
will never know any better

Trust the stiletto
when the lips are sealed
and silencing 
is the fault of liars
when they are revealed

How the sleepless ballet 
tip toes through the night
swirling in a caul
of suspected lies
but the eyes of

Along the Shortest Road Ever a Treacherous Journey

Along the shortest road ever (a treacherous journey)

Premium MemberTreacherous Road Conditions

Fog on the road, white out conditions.
Cannot see a thing; wind bats car back and forth
Sideways, as we try to advance forward.
Slap. Slap. Drive. Slap. Slap.Drive.
The windshield wipers appeared to have turned on.
Oh, I guess I did do that.
It does not help at all. Slap. Slap. Drive. Slap.Slap. Drive.

Christmas Eve. The car is sliding, we
