#sham
Love rises softly like jasmine light, Guiding my spirit through gentle night. Silent blossoms whisper ancient truth, Awakening peace within my youth. Purity blooms where tender winds sing, Jasmine unveils hope in everything, Calm breaths open the sleeping soul, Light returns making the spirit whole. Jasmine awakens truth in rising light, Love unfolds gently in sacred sight. Purity gathers softly within me, Spirit ascends freely toward eternity.

Love is a sham and I am what I am Said me to myself And I I don’t understand and I will not withstand This criminal Evil lie I can’t and I won’t and I just simply don’t Want to live if living Hurts so I may just check out and I won’t cry or shout I’ll just quietly get up And go

Sham
He is waiting for someone else to put the words into his mouth instead, he would say out loud his own. And as pretending the singing, he merges into unpossessed voices hiding his song in the noise. I cannot make out his words, though: I misread his lips - mistaking a pop song for a pray; a lip-synced psalm, and believe every word he shares.

A lip-synced psalm
Pretending tomorrow We'll both be different Changed from who we are today Actually want me to be happy Stop clutching onto each word you say Pretending habits don't have the best of us We're content with a life of sobriety Like the sound of that idea Wish it was that easy Pretending a wish or two comes true The floor tossed into a pile Like eachother but not all the time Wish for me to smile Pretending we can build home like before Set against a sky of gold Magically capable of exploring possible futures Every desire taking hold Pretending we will find salvation Life just one cruel joke Silhouettes waiting for goodbye long overdue Death to claim what life broke Pretending every day to try my hardest Both know my love is a sham Want to be a better person for you That's just not who I am

A Pity Party (Haiku)
there has to be some defect inside me to only attract people who do easily can leave me without a fight. I'll mask these feelings in alcoholic drinks and cigarettes in dim lit bars and busy coffee shops. I am left to accept kisses from just as lonely people that I have never met and never will have the chance to. No one shows you the inside anymore. It's all about the exterior because as I've learned the second you show the inside, they leave and it hurts more than it did when you were alone. I hope it doesn't stay this way forever because God knows we all deserve a little favor and a little better than what we've been given.

what's wrong?
Sham love is nothing but a trick of the cheat It is just another type of hatred and contempt Falsehood is beaten by truth it can never beat Whatever be the mode or whatever attempt Fake are the ones who follow the wrong path They never ever get their destiny or destination Their fate is determined by all the real wrath They lack sentiments, emotions and love passion They will leave unsung with miserable plight Time will kick them and just will never ever save Darkness is their abode they will never see light They will disappear like a tide and like a wave Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

Fake Love
She is like an innocent dove so whom so ever She comes across she innocently says I love you On first glance I fell in love with to leave never But then I saw portraying her parts thru and thru She paints and paints but naked ******* for show Either knowing fully well or just stroke of a brush It is more than sufficient in flow to take and blow But all this embarrassment never ever make her blush I do not know about strange conduct and behavior But by now I realized the idiosyncrasies of the life We are the defaulter we ruin or make ourselves savior We can cut our bodies or vegetables with the knife Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

Sham love
Humanity has just gone down to dogs Fake people are fake in their actions Less speeches with more monologues Third class packets, classical captions No difference between right and,wrong Prudence is a commodity of just all fools Toads come up with ***** shrilling song Humans are nothing but just useless tools Tricks have taken over sincerity in trade What ever is sold is ******* in entirety Blood relations cut like sharp blunt blades Man is in chains but apparently seem free Revolution is mandatory it is call of  the day Justice should take over all sham mannerism Still hope tinkles with beam of light as a ray Spring is ready to surpass the yellow autumn Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

Sham Tricks
**the deity was a ******* up minor god** **his band of fans saw not the faker *** of a deceptive trait he did so show some were blind to looking at the real bloke others more insightful thought he a joke true believers weren't indoctrinated they knew shams could be invalidated never did he possess the divine glow why praise the charlatan's counterfeit guff of it there would be a perennial bluff his godhead image did dupe the unwise for these disciples were so unsighted of him they'd be lastingly blighted a pretender until his very demise

The Deity (Rosarian Sonnet)
So long have I been filled with doubt, Too afraid to let pour out. But tonight, in the midst of the storm in my spirit, I curse your name and all that you are. Hollow and fake. You're no "give" and all "take". When you speak of your life, I can feel my hair turning gray. I despise what you are. I loathe what you say. But what disgusts me the most is what you do everyday. Liar. Sham. You were all along. You'd cut your own arm off before admitting you're wrong. Prideful. Ungrateful. You reek of greed. Unable to distinguish what you want from what you need. Selfish. Vain. Quick to point a finger. But when you are selfish, You're the last one to linger. Continue your fascade. Maintain the charade. Karma's almost here and you're in the way.

Letting It Out
Each one was elaborating all about life at length; in many words, all one heard was just about themselves

The essence(4x20)
A Styrofoam box to hold my pain To keep it safe above the water To hold all the roles I've ever lived Be it wife or be it daughter Floating safe upon the surface Mirror smooth or rapids white It carries all the hurt and struggle It hides my truth and holds on tight The world can see the love and laughter The spackled mask that faces all The one with saccharine filled open fissures Hiding a broken little girl For in this body of a woman Every gentleman's sinful lust Is a fragile shell of being A soul, if touched, would turn to dust Drowning in a world of wonder Losing sight of who I am Safe from harm or dissolution Floats the proof that I'm a sham

On the Surface
This game; This war; Proves to me that you're nothing more Than a selfish, useless, empty ***** You want love and fame. It's really just a shame That everyone you love leaves you just the same. Deceive; Despise; I see the truth in your eyes. Fleeing consequences; consumed by your lies. Message; received. Beyond the lies you have conceived Because of all the things you refuse to believe. Running won't get you far. YOU ARE A SHAM.
