You Never Know

Coup d'oeil, you tried to comport
For your sake, I obscure my discomfort
As a man of refinement, I dismiss bizarre incitements
Yet the verity of my deeds I shall say in perspectives most iridescent

Compulsive are your manners, and impulsive your mouth
Which rattles and spews out dotty words that douts
You conceive me to be your heart's one true desire
When you pride in another, which sounds as good as dire

Nescient, as you always are, you're not aware
That I only see you as amusement, the only reason I cared
Because I am twice the mich as you perceive yourself to be
And yet you never sumise, surprisingly fooled, all lovesick on me

I guess I should tell you the truth,  for just as much
Since you were a good friend, if you originally intended to be as such
I, your seatmate, am very, very miffed of you
And, truthfully, I know that most of us, most that you know, do too.

Blind Are You

Blind are you, are you not?
Blind are you, not to see
Blind are you who never halt
For only you the blurry be

Blind are you to never know
What the truth is, what lies the others make
Blind are you to obstruct the morrow
Of your sweet child's growing uptakes

Blind are you to never think
What it would be, what it really is
Blind are you to see it all in a wink
The life she has, the life you put out because of this

Blind are you who never cease
The doubt in your mind, your debased thinking
Blind are you who taints the ease
Of your own heart's umbery, the bias strengthening   

Blind are you, who entrusts your own eyes
To the blinded, and blinded they are to their inerrable desires
Blind are you, to your own demise
For you trust the eyes that ravish the women they admire

Blind are you to think you know
For you do not, and are petty to half-hearted oaths
Blind are you, and you'll terribly regret so
The people you trust, the people you will soon loathe.

Standstill

In a spectre of will
My thoughts stand still

In the cacophony of lies
My eyes were never blind

In the deceit of the living
My ears doubt in believing

In the loss of another
I will never falter

For I think, and I know
For I breathe, and still breathing in tow

For I see, and my suspicions accurate 
All caution from what was once immaculate

For I feel, and I am now broken
In standstill, my soul has been taken

Far away; far, far away
Away from this plane, my life lingers in disarray.

I Don'T Want To

I don't fall in love, I said to you
But then, what am I supposed to do?
When the past taught me things forseen
When Love showed me events never to be unseen.

I was afraid to fall and break.
But now I had, and for new chances, I wouldn't dare make
For falling is easy, and trusting is my doubt
Drums roll and lingering suspense takes place in my bout

Falling in love did hurt me all the time
And made me realize how foolish it was, to waste a tithe
For you or any girl waiting for my sweet hand for them to take
For happiness never lasts, for experiences pile up my hate

Falling in Love is not scary, it's destroying, as you can't see
I wouldn't worry, for I'll turn a blind eye away your innocent offering
To show me affection, to then give me all the blame
Of the consequences in the nigh, in the drastic choices you'd make.

For This Lovestruck Lass

For this lovestruck lass, I concite my sentiments out
To open her eyes, and to let her grow out of bout
Because below is undetermined that she does not want to read
And for some, my dears, might give some veritable heed

That you are far too young and meek to know how
To say these prodigious thoughts and vaunting vows
Dauntless you act, yet you dissemble your gists
And away you cast your realism for these hallucinating wisps

To know much more than enough of a man is queasy
And your unending superbia feels quite deprecatory
Your agonistical reasoning keeps your life at bay
Never astatic, never receiving luck in your pent-up haze

To know less than anyone is stringently speaking
That you have more to acquire and perceive more in living
Lest you would tumble out of cloud nine or deliberate
What to conduct for yourself to revel in and emancipate

To act like a libeler gains so much gibberish in return
Reenacting jealousy from such and to offer and subvert
To try and woo anybody for your ego's diuturnity
And consider this man as your Love's virtuous magnality

My lass, for your sake, nimble your mind and strengthen your soul
For my provokes and prongy wrangles may dishearten your resolve
But reminisce this, my significant delivery amongst them all
Is that you are never too late to change before you ridicule yourself to fall

Traducent

Traducent are we who speak with slivery truth
With silver fork tongues we malign the disclosure
Slanderous are we who act suasive and choose
The obduse of wealth, power, and fortune

In the overture of madness we play in absolute confusion
Vexing, beckoning with their temptations
Plausive are we to the eyes of the wicked
With frangible gists and terrible mindedlessness

Not a poor soul saved, not another guilt grasp
Ignominiously felt, and despodence lasts
All overawed with the overwhelming avarice
And lo the kings of the foul and the underlings

As I May Behest

"Chivalrous one, as I may behest,
To award thee for thy reverence,
For chouses await to steal thy gold,
And never they shall live the age-old.

Chivalrous one, as I may behest,
To reward thee for thy golden heart most best
For peasants and merchants afool thyselves to be thieves to please
Thy hungry greed, to fordwine later without ease.

Chivalrous one, as I indeed admire,
Give thou thy arm in marriage, the dream that men most aspire
For thou are true in word and deed, thou are a man fit to be king
Come join thy kingdom, and forever be blest by God almighty"

A Beguiler's Last Laugh

Well now, beneath the darkest realms
In nightmarish gists, I am the one
Who instills fear and in putrescence I dwell
In variety, isocheimal ulteriority is all I've done

Laureled with the metallic lustres of death
And shining with the fires of vengeance
Animosity is the origin of my libellous wreaths
Where you see hearts of the women I've broken dearest

Sultrily I coax the likes of you in my irresistible hazards
Scarcely liminal of you towards my tinge of ominous transience
In my vegete facade, my words flow like the romanticizing Haggard
And contemptuously strike you down in my own baleful omnipotence

What a naive fille you are, my dejected little princess!
To be easily deluded by a beguiler with a stunning visage
In your ruptures, I ecstatically drown myself in your distress
Beneath woos and charming signals of temperament are the vicious lures of a savage.

Measured, How About How Love Really Is

"How is love being measured?" That, I should tell you
Naivety and ignorance is the best-est thing you can do
For crooks and chouses plan to extort
So you perceive pain and suffering as their last resort

Do they kiss and tell their feelings bade?
Or do they bound their affections and let it wane?
Do they think of you and their hearts to you portrayed?
Or do they think of you as an irritating lass with emotional bane?

Time has nothing to do with petty things
Never gave freedom, never gave wings
In the most delusional sense, they cage your soul
Starves you of attention, then cuts you down whole

Love is never measured by distance
For it goes on and leaves you, all throughout resistant
I don't know what Love is, nor I am aware of it to be
So pray to God, pray to Him for people like me.

I Was Here

Now you see me, now you don't
All gone with a puff of smoke
Shiminey, my heart, my mind once adored
Waiting, hoping to be mercifully reborn

Now you know me, now you forgot
Temperate, ambrosaic memoirs that we've got
Thinking, my mind, my soul not found
Accused, wronged with your own love's doubt

Now you hear me, now I'm mute
Forever silenced by the noise up due
Singing, my soul, my heart deeply pierced
As I struggle to voice myself in tears

Now you sensed me, and now I'm gone
All packed up with the virtues I had won
Once treated gloriously like diamonds, and now they are none
I was here... But then, I never was.
