You’re the Devil in Disguise

July 9, 2024

You look like an angel (look like an angel)Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)Talk like an angelBut I got wise
You’re the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kissesYou cheated and you schemedHeaven knows how you lied to meYou’re not the way you seemed
I thought that I was in heavenBut I was sure surprisedHeaven help me, I didn’t seeThe devil in your eyes
You’re the devil in disguiseOh, yes, you are, devil in disguise

Expect Nothing

April 7, 2014

Expect Nothing

Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.

Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.

Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
