Manipulate us
In a dream of unfettered
Desire, kiss me

All Ears at The Hearing
(dark humour)

This is a hearing
All hes
who can hear
should attend
and each should bring
a ring

At this hearing
the new protocol
for weddings and apt wearings
will be determined
It will be finalised too
(with Echo presiding)
how each he
can conduct a

Manipulate

She played with words
and made them bend
to her will
never suspecting
how very much
her favorite pastime
could manipulate her
and bend her will
with the will
and the wiles
of their own

Even weak and bedridden as he is, he still has the ability to #manipulate my angst. Dementia leads to paranoia and confusion, melancholy and anger. I know this, but I'm so tuned to his needs, my own feelings get triggered, making me question everything.

I see the world
Warped and distorted
Glassy leaves on miniscule trees
I climbed to the sky
A hemisphere blue
Above an obverse honey brown
A dark star speckled underworld
This world turns - you blink - I fall
turn a lock of hair in your finger
Enrapture ends - temporarily

Volanci’s hand was heavy on Ranthro’s shoulder, his magic hot around him, his voice glowing in his ear.
It took every effort in him to fight the #manipulation and drop the spear. “I won't be your weapon.”

Étude

together
we're one composition of strings
strung across the Earth
as a guitar
manipulating chords
in sharps and flats
sounding who we are

'You're a cardiologist. Does every heart have a lock?'
'No, only some. It's something that assembles itself over time, under specific circumstances. The key takes even longer.'
'I'm a lock smith.'
'Then we're a match made in heaven.'

no part of me
wishes to #manipulate
your mind
or your heart

they must always
be your own

however

there are a few parts of me
that need
to message
to knead
to rub
to caress
so many parts of you

i need to make you come
at least once

even if that's all
we ever have

MAN-ipulation is a thing you can try, but it's not easy. Some of them are stubborn as wine stains.
Oh, yes, when trying to #manipulate a man you must be cunning.
Even if it's for their own good.
Don't let on about that. Make them think it's naughty.
Yes, it beguiles them.

been paralysed lately with overwhelm
and stuffing up, time and again
wish i could #lock away my fingers
only them, mouth doesn't work to ruin
everything in print, the way they do

does buddleia manipulate
to attract butterflies
to its honey'd flowers?
I flutter mesmerised
on this narrow path

'Read this note in victim's right hand Sholmes'

'It says 'Right hand doesnt know what left hand is doing' Hatson'

'But Sholmes, the left hand wasn't doing anything either'

'Precisely Hatson. The culprit #manipulate -d victim's both hands to keep us guessing'

She was always very capable of #manipulating . The lover that became too intense, disappearing in a cloud of smoke. The family that had grown too needy. The walls that were too close. Even an old wound that was burrowing into her heart. Now just empty room.

#Manipulated , humiliated.
You made me your own.
Lured me in with false promises,
You pretended to lead but wanted only the glory.

Blinded, restricted.
You kept me close.
Never wanting to lose control.
I am stuck in your shadow.

Once happy
the next moment is sad
Once feeling loved
next feeling unloved
Her face is like a canvas
of flickering emotions
Easy to #manipulate
Easily swayed
But through it all
she carries on
Strength in her fragility
Courage in the pain
One day
She will shine again

Rest in the tender embrace
Of my words over you, please
Lie in fields of spring
Feel the gentle breeze
That sways calla lilies, daffodils
And even leaves of trees;
As much as flowers cover the fields
With their lovely apparel
I love you that way
#Lock , stock, and barrel
