Deception
The harbinger of dreams, who begets man's deception,
Plants hope in a fool’s flawed
perception
Fragrant
red roses bloom from tainted desires
The bitter scent of decay
hidden in misconception.
Ice, the web of spider befalls
bug of man
Innocence in calculated
falsities, cancer in bronzed tan
Broken glass spread under a child’s wintry playground
Safety stolen on a frozen road in a spinning minivan.
Be careful, staggering
they limp under the harvest moons
Stalking a buffet bar
with dessert spoons
Searching
for coveted wisdom to fuel their soul
The walking dead are
mind-stealing raccoons.
Blatant insults hidden
under words of praise
Snarky teenagers bite
the heels of the questioning gaze
Smirks disguised by teeth bared in welcome
Vanilla pudding in a jar
of mayonnaise.
