Best Defuses Poems


Premium Member Gilded Waters Crinkle
I listen to the waves washing ashore
when the wind is but a breeze, nothing more.
And I sit all alone upon the beach,
looking up at heaven, just out of reach.

Darkness defuses daylight's dimming glow
as a sprinkling of stars begins to show.
And bathed in quietude, I've naught...

OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS OF SISTER CECILIA

the best firecracker 
otherworldly seven hues
hiss, cackle, kaboom

Yes, dear ones, I want to own a pen that produces perfect penmanship, the curlicue calligraphy that Sister Cecilia would have hated. Each color, as my mood dictates would jettison from my mind...

God whispers to the angels,
who open their aprons toward earth.
A thick curtain of flakes 
cover life and death alike.
A swaying screen sweeps away color, 
defuses light, disturbed only by a soft wind
slanting the mantle eastward;
pierced by stark sentinels whose branches 
stand solid against its breath.
Schools...

All About Anger
If you are angry with me 
Or with anyone or everyone
For some (in-)explicable reasons, 
Then, this poem is meant for you!

My basic hypothesis: 
In a moment of anger
There will be choice—almost always.
Choose the best.
A taxonomy of anger: geriatric, gender-specific, 
Gender-neutral, matured (or immature), kid stuff,...

The Cross and the Lance...Pt 2
Everything was property of the state
life of a serf didn't even rate
tyranny from Lords,Dukes and  Barons
production of goods,they weren't sharin'....

Coxcomb magistrate castle seneschal
internal scheming took alot of gall
court intrigue was their special interest
todays politics aren't that different....

A new portal behind every door
a gambit of...

What Is Love
Intimacy is all I want, it's all I desire
But for now we'll let our words, be the fuel to our fire
I'm hardwired, to never give in and never give up,
but I've given into your heart, now your heart is all that I want

And lift you...

Gratitude
It's about how many cars I didn't hit
How many tickets I didn't get

The pale blue sky
Sweet things that make me cry

Feeling great
Not filled with hate

My man
And all of our plans

Our little paradise in the woods
Elgin Local Goods

Precious amazing wonderful things
He continuously brings

Beautiful grand babies
Even the...

The Shrew
The feisty woman spewed torrential abuses
He holds her in his arms till her anger defuses  
To despair over her phobias he  simply refuses

Nightmares of being hated and unloved one day
Cloud her thoughts of his fearful avenge in some way
His calming voice cannot unnerve...

Premium Member Essence of the Holidays
frantic shoppers bustling through crowded stores
holidays take on new meaning

department store Santas
delight children’s dreams
great expectations 

peace and love permeate the atmosphere
remember the Babe in Bethlehem
born in bitter winds, but bringing warmth to the world

getting caught up in the commercialization
defuses the harmony of celebration

love is the...

Billows of a winter snow blowing through my curtain window 
all I sweet remember is the way the willow tree smelled 
that creamy, sugary, wintergreen scent of its lovely mellow  
and the way the sun tilted each time you looked at me...
Snowflakes falling from...

Drinks fridge murmurs accusations at me
Seals connect with whoosh of door close
Defuses incriminating strip of lights lairy
Where I go from this station, God knows!

Lady taking my coins sneers, fat old wench
Bottled coffee shaking, I scope the scene
Funny country fuel stop, platform with bench
Five feet above...

Premium Member Safe Space
Have you ever met
Those people 
That are just a safe space

Their very presence
Soothes you
When you feel out of place

They are unhurried 
When the World 
Seemingly swirls at pace

As pressure defuses
Your ears hear the quiet
Picked up, protected, saved from the riot 

Skin no longer tingles 
The...

Emory's Diaries
In my deepest melancholic mood,
when my appetite ceases for food.
When I can hardly get an hour's sleep.
When I'm tempted for nothing to weep.
When I can scarcely retain a smile.
When happiness goes a distant mile
away from my world of emotions.
I veer off from my own commotions,
when...
