truth (Remove filter)
Modus Operandi
Deny, deny, deny,
modus operandi,
when caught in a lie.
Can pass a polygraph
while looking you in the eye.
Knowing what’s done in dark
eventually comes to light,
until such time,
deny, deny, deny!

Betrayed
While the world
goes about their day
talking about trival things,
laughing their troubles away,
I am struck with
paralyzing pain

betrays me more
each passing day.

with his lies.
Our love is
unconventional,
but I no longer
question why.
After four decades
in the trenches,
I have learned

Naked Souls
Poetry is a
refuge for
a lonely life
the antidote
for pain
and strife
warm words
blanketing

casts us loners,
introverts, quiet

Let them judge
