Chicanery

Belief in existence overtakes the tangibility of truth,
 seeds of falsehood and preconception sown in innocence of youth,
 Buying evry ounce of honey-coated hypocrisy,
Selling and meeting every demand,
 Leading an army of sycophants,
 no reason for honor or deference to stand,
 Concealing infinite truth on a long forgotten dusty shelf,
 Forging allegory while spinning corrupt candor manufactured to permeate the secret self,
 Silver tongues and sticky fingers peddle fool's gold and misinformation,
 Significant reality on a permanent vacation,
 Integrity a fable told, consigned to childhood, 
Double talk and double standards are currency traded for caring falsehood, 
Gleaming society flashing avarice and deference, saccharine diamonds left in the sun,
 Attaining complacent contentment assuring the faithless agenda won,
 On the heels of the Pied Piper readily seduced into following any leader, Altruism blurred and abandoned thought obscured by a progressive impeder, an analog nightmare distorts palpable fidelity guiding deeply jaded virtue into a pawn,
 Subdued acquiescence is the genocide of sincerity everything unalloyed lost in the nuclear dawn,
 Beguiled by fallible evidence felt only in blind eyes,
 Calculating principals lure yielding vacant idol worshipers along to hungrily devour the sweetest cotton candy lies.

Shy

Squeezed by a shadow until there's nothing left to breathe.                                                                                                          the confusion of love and apathy.                                                                                                            Confronting myths to avoid the truth of denial.                                                                                                             No thoughts beyond a manufactured reality,                                                                                                            Question of what's now and used to be.                                                                                                                  drawn in to experience any emotion, filling a feeling, it's still empty inside.                                                                                                             Below a version of self-denial and indulgence, empathy will hide.

Scruple

Plying depravity from a string of unblemished guile,
Candor and virtues put on trial.
Mute complications hang the impassive jury,
Corrupt verdicts subjugate while the ingenuous worry.
Grasping for lone echos left by forgiveness and mercy,
Abolish authenticity with fallacy bred controversy.

Space

Held in the velvet grip of melancholy I'm conscience as I slowly sink,
 Wholly enthralled by the temptation of a Divine link,
 Recalling deeds performed for good and for worse yearning to completely forget, No feat in spite of sincerity or repentance has a reset, a deliberate homicide of an eternal spirit,
 Death by a thousand cuts meeting pain without a limit,
 Showered under dust from the ashes of ancient and long dead stars,
 Playing the game of battles lost and losing wars, 
Absence of light pulling gravity and existence toward the event horizon,

 Drawn into a promise of forever tasting poison on Judas' lips,
 Infinity and Hell experienced before perceiving death's eclipse,
 Lost in the stare of bare mortality for a while,
 Goodbye finally said with an artificial sigh and a simulated smile.

Small Voice

Depriving myself a chance to transcend,
Mistaken identity became my dead end.
Spirals and circles rule my dizzying affliction,
Perceptibility turned science fiction.
culled by cloying seduction and radiant deception,
Cognizant while electing to alter my rality and skew a convincing perception.

1

Belong to me entirely and you will utterly control me.
Bend to your will,
Love me with your artful skill.
Vehement kisses singe my careful skin, 
Aredent caresses trace you into my soul.
Your unity makes me whole,
The essence of you creates my vitality,
want to make you my vivid reality.

Edges

Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
 Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
 Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
 Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below.

Losing

Bashed with integrity until all morals are dead,                                                              
All the correct-wrong things are always too late said.
Felt with intent of ambient sensation,
Hearing the touch of an abhorrent mutilation.
Draining the sacred value of life through a sippy cup,
Shaken by a Karmic close-up.
Pleading a balance of reason for rhyme,
Hourglass short to empty and wasting infernal time.
Shifted into the eye of the needle,
Judged and damned by all the right people.
Straining to see one last Universal sunrise,
Bleeding hearts causing joyful Angel cries.
Fleeting moments bound to eternity,
Esaed into a false sense of glee.
Soundly imitating a view of the blind,
Waiting patiently for a silent choke hold from behond.

Malign

Accidental empathy turns events nefariously,
Balancing on the fringe precariously.
Scarce perception for corporeality at hand or beyond,
Moments of clarity neglected too long.
To justify indifference, apathy, or malice,
The numb and oblivious sow seeds of the doubting callous.
Negotiating their toxic essence into a sinuous answer, 
Regardless to propagating a pestilent cancer.
