Betrayal Poems
Six years a waste
by Graham Ereks
Six years a waste,
I'm sure you can relate.
I needed us to be more,
But you turned out to be a whore.
Letting the world know about us-my biggest bummer;
I so wish we'd had, from the outset, the deserved sunder.
Woe is me, for I have made a boner
That swine has indeed defiled this stunner.

Dissent
by Robert huffmanEchoes of dissent ring through the belly of this place. I can feel the murmur within these walls although there's no trace of it's origin. Once forbidden words so profound move from ear to ear weaving a web of lies. All the while the innocent listeners hold back the tears in their eyes not knowing the consequences. So obvious is the intent of the blasphemers calculated sequences. To force the hand of others, to turn the sons against their mothers and bring forth the darkness. The once believers now cast their doubt and rise against the others. The words continue to fester the minds of those so willing. Once healing hands bring forth the killing and leave the scene in disarray. Commands are given and disobeyed. This is what has come in the face of betrayals when all efforts have all but failed. This is the endgame, the way of the wretched ones, this is how it will be defined.

by N. A
Bone ripped from flesh,
Flesh ripped from bone.
Twisted shadows always waiting,
For the next soul to wander into their embrace.
Eyes of the sky,
Smile of a prince,
Lips of satin.
He asks to dance,
So I shall never stop swaying.

Radio silence
by Ben Scott
I’ll take a psychedelic candy
And dance the night away
I’ll rave after the rage
Swing and sway
I’ll ride the wave and play
The only instrument I can
Dance with me baby
while I play this game

The Duping Moonlight Sheen
by Gulhaider Zaidi
I set out my foot on the untrodden lane,
Which seems to lure me even not knowing my name.
Come here, come here, it reiterates,
I hesitate, but something supernatural seems to captivate.
I crave to be out of this thraldom and be free,

Heartless Lover
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
You never had empathy for me
But I did for you
When someone close to me dies
You would say no one can live forever
And you carry on,
As though, nothing really happened
I despise you
And yr words of hate
For you never gave me love
When I need it

This bomb
by Priscah mutswenje
In the halls of camaraderie where trust did bloom,
A tale unfolds, shrouded in shadows of gloom.
Once, a mentee, a colleague dear,
Now, a whisper of betrayal draws near.
Beneath the wings of guidance, they soared,
Together, dreams and ambitions explored.
Hand in hand, through challenges we strode,
But in the depths, a treacherous seed was sowed.

I wasn’t ready
by Elias Becker
You asked me in my chevy
But I was never ready
Guess I was a little petty
My face in a red flush
Your soul I just crushed
It just felt too rushed
I couldn’t give a reason
The air was sick with treason

Forgive me
by Sonja D.
I don't know you, woman,
I see your wit and charm
a soul so brave and good
fighting for just and right.
Can't help but wonder, lady,
what story behind that image
careless whisper boldly say
you are none of my concern.

David and Bathsheba (Part 3)
by Pilgrim Roy
He who’d killed lions and a giant man
was slain by this beautiful woman.
Her pure loveliness had captured his soul
and now he had to face sins awful toll.
But he schemed and contrived and planned.
Gave no thought to the fact that he’d be damned
when he told the captain of his great army,
“Send Uriah her husband home to me”
