Best What A Tangled Web We Weave Poems


On Ebony Sails
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
ever haunting in devious wombs...
tattered voyagers embarking to the confine,
and by nightfall, swarthy leather pants
whip and crack like the white flag
blowing and tearing in a cold snap.

On ebony sails the ravens are perched,
pecking at threads that dangle
from dusky cloths...

A Tangled Web of Lies
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Can't help but to recall this famous quote from Sir Walter Scott...
When one reads the latest revelations on the financial scandal that is 1MDB...
Touted as a sovereign fund to help the economy of...

I'm a demon slayer
I cut to another layer
You know they have no prayer
I'm no delayer

Come lookin for me
Should let me be
I'll never be free
I will tear apart thee

Oh what a tangled web we weave
I'm not here to deceive
Don't care if you believe
From your pain, I...

Tangled Webs
Oh, what tangled webs we’re willing to weave,
When from our good senses we take leave,
Ignoring the Higher power.

With reckless abandon and lavish expenses,
We drink bitter dregs sin’s cup dispenses,
For sensual pleasures of the hour.

We pay for the pleasures we pursue,
For a measure of mirth, exciting...

The Web
The World Wide Web,
Is a daunting thing.
It connects us with others,
We've never seen.

We navigate with caution,
Not knowing what lurks.
A valuable road map,
In spite of its' quirks.

With due diligence we filter,
The lies from the truth.
Always accepting its' flaws,
Because of its' youth.

Walter Scott said it best,
Though I...

“When Hell Freezes Over”



He said, “One last kiss for my soul?”
as he lay supine life spilling onto his Last Sunset Road.

The sun had set long long ago.
She lent down, whispered in his ear
Cherry Ripe Red Lips 
her warm breath 
close and near, like a 
feather...

My Friend
My what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive,
I thought me one who knew you best,
Turns out you can not pass the test.

Everything you said were lies,
Gazing with your crying eyes.
Such a damsel in distress,
Nothing but a grand actress.

If only everyone could...

Remembered
Moonscaped, whispereing butterfly parades
Calming tethered hearts with glittering cascades
The widespread wonder of joyous content
Reaching out like angel wings of glory heaven sent
What a tangled web we weave with eyes that can't see
Perfect, harmonious exuberance surrounding you and me
Have we really been so bound and made...

Poodle
Mr. French poodle sips a Beaujolais
Snubs a nose at the bourgeoisie
So middle class with a café ole in glass  
A puffy bulbous tail wags in approval
Groomed to perfection at the salon
It purrs at the proletariat’s amusement
Smiling at the working class
An upper class agenda will...

WEAVE
A web
Wind silk taunt

Sticky design hung
I'll oblige and walk in
Then try to get it off fast

"Another woven lie in which I'm trapped."     

wind pronounced as in the line "I...
