#deceptive
one who thinks one who reads thy words lay like a field of mines scatter the seeds of sorrow in fall the flowers bloom laying still is an untouched petal a touch purity reveals; darkness has taken form under yet lay its beauty has its beauty faded? has its form not taken shape? one who wonders hard the words shall never confirm

an untouched petal
Shoved your foot in my Doorway, and I'm the one left Tripping over it

I wish you'd all see the person in me beneath my insecurities, layers of locks into my heart. Why'd you leave me before I speak? am I not as normal as you? what is normal if there are many? Am I crazy or are you blind to see the normal in me? I wonder what's missing in me that forced you to leave. As you remain blind to the eons of hope that remains in my heart for you. As I redefine my normal for the next layer of lock that encapsulates my heart.

the deceptive normal
didn't your heart stopped for a while before making such a weighted declaration didn't your lungs gasp for air before these words could escape your mouth didn't your voice tremble while speaking these words out aloud how casually you said them like you didn't even mean to but why am I scolding you now 'cause once it's said it doesn't matter it doesn't change anything the words have been said the blood has been drawn and now there's no turning back 'cause mortals aren't allowed to fall in love with Gods

I Love You
Her lips were stained red,    Her bright smile, utter dread.       Befitting a She-vampire,          "But tis only Beetroot, Sire!"

Vampire
Careless with their lives They slog in infested slimy waters In rubber shoes covered in holes Merging bodies with all the inhabitants of the world beneath their feet They trudge on They’re deceptive Picking up dirts to throw it back in In those times they’re not seen Or so they believe They’ve reduced themselves To the dirt they feed themselves And they care not Their pores clogged with infested slimy waters Exhibiting animalistic behaviors They’ve now become barbarians “Buy us water”, They cry together. He who is living a deceptive life Trudging around in the slimy waters A place no one has sent them They feed themselves with those slimy hands? It’s no wonder their mate died I stamp my feet in anger! Arrrrrrrg! Do they not see the danger? I do not feel pity for them Their state of being Though perplexing it seems They chose this. Their families I weep for Bodies coated with infested slimy waters They go home.

They Trudge in Slimy Waters
Maybe it's not the wrong thing done to us By a loved one That is really painful But... Accepting that their heart Could produce and allow such a thing Is the real pain!

Real pain
Seductive anchor, News seems deceptively tame; Anesthetic helps!

Anaesthetising the news
How can we, so small Expect to win it all Our minds so full of us Blind our eyes to the one and only Jesus Remove our deceptive comfort That we cling like a favorite toy The sudden pain of life's adversities carries away our counterfeit joy For the lies of deceptive comfort only seek to destroy.

Deceptive Comfort
Still lying in bed Thoughts of you still going through my head Why did you carry it on so long If all you was gonna do was do me wrong You knew I was already broken Did you need my heart as a token Did you want to see if you could make someone die Rip their soul out and make them cry I hope karma does her job I hope you are the next to sob The only thing I did was love you But you made me pay those dues I've got to pull myself togeather But lay in bed is what I'd rather But I have a job and bills Despite my depressive ills I want the pain to stop But it seems to be all I've got Guess I'll just go back to my old life No love, no strife All those months wasted All of the love I tasted You threw me away in just one message Without even a hint of presage Can anyone save me I'm going down and I don't mean maybe Send my spirit to the sky I just want to die

Love killed Me
she is a pretty little flower but beware of the poison that runs deep in her roots.

Poison ivy.
You're beautiful, just like a poisonous flower. So my eyes betray me, and I crave just a taste. I reach out for the brightest berry, and you wrap me in your arms. Deceptively sweet, growing with each dose I intake. But I consume too much of you, and I overdose; falling victim to a beautiful death.

Pseudo-Martyrdom
*Because heaven is full And hell won't have me I've been put in a place much worse A place called earth At least in hell I know everyone has bad intentions But on earth you'll trust people who you think are kind But just turn out to be sinister and cruel The type of people who thought to have Good intentions*

The road to hell
Like vanilla spice And as sweet as chocolate Her lips were nice But the rest was poison She'll be plotting your demise As you're hypnotized

The art of deception
*The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. *
