Best Deflects Poems


Premium Member The Devil He Be a Wandering
The devil, he be a wandering,
Searching for a fool,
Someone easily persuaded,
To come under his rule.

Pride, deceit and unbelief,
Are the tools of his trade,
Planting seeds of fear and doubt,
In the souls that he invades.

The devil, he be a wandering,
Searching for a saint,
A true believer in the...

Premium Member Bipartisan Dissonance
When oppositional cognitive dissonance 
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time 
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

If you don't want a sopping wet tile bathroom floor
because I...

Premium Member Forgiveness a Noble Mindset
Forgiveness comes not from without,
Rather inward, born of understanding.
It's not an emotion given to shout,
This quiet strength never demanding.

Only a peaceful soul is calm, reflects,
A selfish one a churning rapid, shallow.
Forgiveness cares not for itself, it deflects.
Though pierced by thorns from a rose mallow.

Held close,...

Premium Member Overworked Witches
What's a single mom, overworked witch to do?
School potlucks won't suck up fat vats of witch brew
Green goop soup disinfects science projects
Magic wand deflects coupon blonde's rejects

Soccer field congealed, frogs in fish tanks
Your warlock son mocks the jocks with dark pranks
Your daughter barters love potions,...

World of White and Blue
Sea of blue, 
crags of white, 
bitter wind, 
majestic sight 

For this is world of white 
and blue 
white mountains of ice, 
blue sea salty and true 

midnight sun on icy wastes, 
cool reflected light, 
pristine wilderness, 
not to everyone's taste 

Stark white cold, 
wind...

Premium Member The Dance Divine
The dance divine 

The dance divine at play,
both reveals and conceals,
cyclic pleasure and pain,
deflects thoughts onto form;
life gift boon, becomes bane.

The dance divine at play,
where the dreamer and dreamed,
both being in truth one,
enter hypnotic trance,
till desires come undone.

The dance divine at play,
if witnessed from our...

Premium Member Have we seen God
Is not God a concept, till we see Him?
How will memorising scriptures assist?
Conditioned beliefs make our soul’s light dim.
Love alone is real and that’s life’s gist.
A Hindu believes God takes many forms,
whilst for a Christian, Jesus is the all,
Muslims adore Allah, Buddhists bliss storms;
myriad paths,...

Simile Smile
Your eyes brighten, at the side of your lips
Charming bent
How sweet it is like morning sun and love
Joined for engagement
That curve on your cheeks
Is like roses in full bloom
Colorful rainbow above heaven’s
Sky clouds loomed,
Your beauty makes it perfect
Makes it glow, as I say
No words can...

Premium Member Ensnared
(Another childhood poem.)



Filaments tightly woven,

a chrysalis cradles me,

deflects the dangers;

it is an armored womb,

bright and hard.

Loosely woven,

a web imprisons me;

struggles snare me firmly

in these threads.

What weaves this armor

and this trap?

It is I --

I am the spider,

and the potential

butterfly....

Premium Member An Unfortunate Circumstance
My heart is being held prisoner
In her dungeon of coquettishness
She hasn’t fully rejected me
But my advances she coyly deflects

I haven’t given up all hope
She still smiles at my innuendos
But when I approach for a carnal dance
She just steps all over my toes

My heart is being...

Premium Member Automaton
If in these times we wane or waver
If those who question fall from favor
The consequence could not be graver
obscured is the terrible toll

Manipulation is slow and unseen
Lives controlled by a corrupt machine
when no one remains who dare intervene
Each person just playing their role

Tyranny's voice deflects...

Premium Member Joke Was On Him

Joke was on him

A lie can perpetuate with a blinding speed
Growing on the heels of shameful greed
If enough people believe a con-man's spiel
And blindly proceed to invest in a dubious deal.

He began quite small with his Ponzi scheme
Stomping ruthlessly on gullible citizen's dream
Pretending that he...

Props For Our Pastor
props for our Pastor to honor him for his anointing
to give him encouragement in his Godly appointing
to be a bride to the church is a Pastor's primary role
an Undershepard to his flock in the kingdom of saving souls
he's the angel of the church chosen by...

Bridge
Secrets of strangers,

a rotating beast of bangers',

a wobbling at least to show how to stumble,

a vanish less half-hat hung from the dread,

it is sonorous because of the angle it deflects,

it is unto us because that's what it says...

More fair than Donavan,
but a little less than...

Writer's Block
What is this strange constipation?
From a man who conducts litigation?
I cannot speak write or think,
my affect is simply to blink.

Like opposed magnets my pen deflects off paper.
My mind sends me IOU's for later.
I am impeded like a stroke. 
No help from a joint toke.
La dee...
