Premium MemberPuppy Meets Her Future

She was as naïve and honest 
as he was unscrupulous.
Her sincerity resonated in direct contradiction
 to his entire clan’s diabolical ways.

Unsophisticated, unused to any form of deceit,
she fell hard for his bad boy looks and manners.
We tried to keep contact with her, but 
she was quickly secluded, to be brainwashed.

We want to have our alone time, he told us.
His face was a sneer. To keep knocking made him angry.

She no longer had a cell phone, she was pretty much banished.
Underhandedly and methodically, he proceeded to squelch her light.

We saw her on the street occasionally, but he was with her.
Holding her arm, and he was the one who responded to us.
He had stolen her right out from under our eyes
led her like a puppy to his future plans of squelching.

Perpetual Queasy Student Days Recess 1

Decades since frittering like - yule
ne'er believe me, boot true
lee, I wreck clues lee wasted
     my life lock, stock, and barrel
     as if there whiz no tomorrow,
     this skein knee boy didst spool
away youth like some drool
ling doggone motley fool

     while mutely dumbfounded taking -
     as undeclared seriously gruel
ling studious favorite pursuit - duel
major space and time, believing
     them tubby (out
     of this world), and cool,
yet unbeknownst tummy then
     more precious than any jewel,

hence this faux Einstein,
     who got pool
lightly dubbed"the quietest
     student", albeit still
     underhandedly cuffed and cruel
moniker, nonetheless wool
worth being spot on,
     though when within comfort

     of home aye
     yak act did mule
lush, non provoke'n, neither tool
ling with smoke'n,
     funny weed, but more specifically
     class (sic) self serving
     as token passive non rule
breaker counted among

The Kiss of Death

A poisoned mind..
Venom poured and trickled through..
Wounded by rituals thrust upon me.
Intoxication of your madness..

Betrayed effortlessly..
A deceitful cunning environment..
Contagious disease of insanity..

Lies along with false pretenses..
As you claim an undying love 
For you use love in the name of fear..

Usage of fear mongering a constant routine
A predator you are..
Stalking on it's prey..
I am your prey
Not your undying love..

A venomous snake spreads toxins..
Underhandedly..

You swam under water..
I swam above water..
Above and beyond..

You had given me the kiss of death..
I had turned away..
Whole heartedly..
As I breathe the breath of life..
The breath of life I am..

Winter Crest

The flying winter-end moves ambivalently 
Scoffing with whitened celebration 
And thrashing through adoration
While nippy Jack Frost chuckles underhandedly 

Into the evening joyful delight 
The spring time moon, sings in speckle red 
Life moves triumphantly in joyful wed
And stillness beats the night

Marriage In Name Only

There are those among us who marry to
make a statement, sometimes to silence
friends and naysayers, or just to prove to 
themselves they can nab a player,
Then there are those who marry for convenience,
regardless if the person matches their profile
or fits their lifestyle, the person could be an albatross,
but all these variablles don't matter because even after they marry
they intend to dabble and stray,
Simply, because their other half is not able to fulfill obligations
in so many ways, so, they get their kicks anyway they can,
secretly and underhandedly, in covert missions with individuals who are
specially recruited to play,
No one's the wiser or cares, until, confronted with thir activities unaware......
