Best Deviating Poems


Premium Member It Started With a Blank Canvas

How endearing the innocence of life was,
When blissfully it started, with a blank canvas,
Cherishing in mother’s love and warmth,
Happy as can be, cuddled in loving arms,
Flaunting vigor of adorable, zealous charm.

Life ran into hurdles as it learned to walk,
Stumbled, yet got up, after every fall,
Giggled and babbled, learning to talk;
And from gibberish, as cogent words formed,
How flawless, pure, beginning of life was!

Soon, as it donned unique shape and form,
Colors adorned fabric of once empty canvas,
In brushstrokes of inspiration and resolve,
Enlisting hope, amidst despairs of loss,
And beams of light upon tenebrous clouds.

On ambitions it thrived, braving passionately,
Yet, encountered unbearable abyss of grief
As doubt and dismay churned in defeats
And failures sprouted within complacency,
Deviating from path of purposeful deeds.

From inner peace, as wisdom vibes chimed,
Life freed from mundane, agitation of strife,
Triumphant when dreams and reality rhymed,
Questing for tranquility in eternity of time,
Retouching feats-unfinished on canvas of life.

Wedding Anniversary

 Hey my Sparkling light from heaven of blue sky,
       Marrying You,None of the path in life is empty without Your love!!
You are the dawn turning my night into day,
       Nature  residing in You is the god's gifted creativity,
Life is been delighted with wonders and joy's being with You!!

Hey my Weatherbeater, with You everyday rise with the Upstream and 
vanish my worries,
       You are Staggering force of water with whom I wave!!
You are the Iconic Prism of my life deviating a beam of romantic ness all 
around,
       Stopping by life's biggest question you were the one who took my     
       breath away!!
You are the like the Seaboard bracing the sand and getting dissolved in 
passion of Love,
       Hey my Jewel casket, I feel secured in your sheathe!!
You are the one who always glimmer amongst all the planet,
       Yes Your Lovely smile stucked between paired lips always pleased me 
absolutely in its own way!!

Fabulously enduranced my soul,
       Artfully You committed!!
Wanna fleet admirally along with You,
       Hey my prismatic light, being with You spectral colours bloomed in my 
       Life with Your refraction!!
Something apparently sensed , something made us connected,
       Something arised our feelings, something exchanged our emotions!!
Something made us hear the faint phantom bells from the heart,
       Yes Your Stupefyingly impressive attitude, integrated 
       orientation,Extravert disposition connected me!!

Blissfully You call me as darling, addressing me as Your Life partner I really 
felt blessed,
       Conjuring togetherness had made our life magically beautiful!!
Wooing with You, days is passing amorously graceful,
       Hey Colorful palette, Every shade in You made me feel stimulated!!
You ignited fire in me, Aroused craziness to its height,
       Setting sun kindled the sky with red and orange ,likewise You spread 
       the flames of love drived in every route!!
Tying the knot, we eloped away.. created wonders everywhere!!

Far from home

Weekend clouds remind me of home
Deviating myself not to be alone
The sky during sunset turns pale
I fell into a loophole the day after.

Many hold you during the first breath
They will be there behind, watching you
Even moments with mates never fade,
You hope to have eternal time again.

Get the one-time opportunity to excel
Unleashing potential aligned with purpose
Unveiling fair play with the time I have
And make my purpose a mighty farewell.

Many surround you after the last breath
They will be there behind, watching you
Make the most of the time you will have
Make it glad as you left home with pride.


Premium Member Namaste

Random strangers crossing in the street
Namaste she said to me
Hands joined as she nodded her head

Engaging my heart without deviating
Arrow straight to my soul
Stood out unlike anyone else

I could tell her heart was pure
She was coming from a place of peace
Her soul untroubled and serene

Her eyes vast expanses of gentleness
That was it
Her gift

Namaste
And she walked away

Breathe Me In

He inspires my creativity 
Serving delicacy at midnight
While he holds me so tight
Let's me know of my beauty
Protects me through the night
Taking me to the heavens
Showing me such splendor
High up with the celestial bodies
Shining brighter than all the stars
Caressing my contours
Flowing with my curatures
Taking note of my equations
Never deviating from my 
smooth variations 
loving the path of my lines
Treats me like his goddess 
Forget the underworld
He takes me to every world
With just his gentle vibrations
With a resonating effect
As his warm breath 
breathes me in


ok A happier note than my last one!;)

Premium Member Daylight Saving Time

Yesterday, playful children engaged with the outside    
Endlessly enjoying their midsummer day's ride    

Today, another car collision, stuck in traffic  
Overwhelm by the society’s demographics  

Tomorrow, weary and mangled from overworking  
Needing assistance my aching legs have stopped working  

Yesterday, lighthearted without any prejudices    
The video game remained my only nemesis       

Today, austerely fighting to pay all the mortgage bills    
Pyrrhic weight, the body’s mobilizing nonerrant hills   
   
Things were better yesterday   
The tears were shallow. All the pains went away  

Yesterday, jolly old Saint Nicholas was bona fide     
Grandma and grandpa embraced hands actively alive   

Today, a career, car, and house, thought I had it made   
Mother and father are descending into their grave    

Tomorrow, my tears will all disappear and turn to dust 
I’ll be receiving one final trip into the earth’s crust   

The past, things were better, dreams subsisted boundlessly  
My tears were shallow. All my pains went away    
My friends were present to wish me a happy birthday   
All alone everything shall decay. All alone everything fades away   
Things were better

You Will Find Me There - With Love, Always


When against unjust poets will unite, you will find me there
When people will raise their voice for their rights, you will find me there

When your children will go to war and you will feel lonely at home
Dark nights will enhance – feeling of fright, you will find me there

When the soldiers will be trained to play guitar, instead of gun
When Seeger’s song will be played before fight, you will find me there

When Ram will raise Rahim’s Son and Tim will raise Funom’s daughter
When the word ‘Children’ will make you delight, you will find me there

When the season will change with your mood – deviating a slight
When morn’ dews will say “hello!”  with smiles bright, you will find me there

When the heaven will pour love in your garden, blooms will rejoice
When you will play Ghazal with music light, you will find me there

Bobby is writing his first Ghazal, hope you will join the flight
Torn - you will return home – need a hug tight, you will find me there

The Messenger

The bard’s tale begins here, without remedy,
This telling of here is, there is, and tomorrow is,
Predestined works of meticulous perception,  
A prophetic hunter searching inside the anecdotal,
Over uncountable eons for his vague lucidity,

An eremitic nomad perceiving his journeys path,
Being sculpted and painted upon times medium,
Recurrently seduced by the thirst of obligation,
Into the pinnacle of death’s unabated progression,   

Quintessential holy man distorted by august lunacy,
Avant-garde purpose and innate coolness,
A prophet of constant deviating certainty,
An amalgam of the inevitable impetus of here and then,

Derived from the presage of opportunity,
Distinguished by fate to eternally struggle,
As a combatant upon the fields of our history,
Revered triumphancy amongst pain ridden turmoil,

Swathed in esteem and overwhelming omnipotence,
The divine sojourner moves ever forward to eternity,
Polished in the ineffable glow of foresight,
He continues down the pathway to do his biddings

Wilst Thou Marry Me

Fairest of the fair wilst thou be as wife
For thy breathe though lips elixir kisses 
Our future can allow me true immortal life

I see mine eyes transfix and I am lesser free
A willing prisoner of a royal court
Unto passion's spells and gazes slavery

As winds of change bow me to mine queen
To feel the fables of inner beauty
The Gods of blessings that they bring

And loss of love becomes, mine only fear
Also time, the marble pillars standing
Still, grandeur when thee do appear

One is to dream of love passed the morrows
Be a man and mind never deviating
Setting straighter than Eros and his arrows

To deep, pierce through the soul to heart
Binding all of us whole altogether
Like the morning shadows to the moonlit darks

This nomad here and once, now a cease to wander
Outward towards scattered raging storms 
But, in the eye the treasure is love of lover

And I must call thee mine dearest dearest wife
Surely I canst pay Venus, or then the piper 
But, under heaven what cost shall be much higher

But, mine entire heart which I give thee 
A chance to hold an angel, I ask from bended knee
And through out the world words echo "Wilst thou marry me"

Premium Member The Occasional Crazy Guest

There's facts and small truths and jokes about life,
Canned laughter and the occasional song.
And there's always argued political opinions,
From big to small, right and wrong.

The guests talk, on topic, of their own field,
Never deviating from what's in their head.
And I listen and think and ponder and learn,
On the informative ideas that are said.

Of course there's the occasional crazy guest,
Living underground in the housed up bomb shelter.
Believing world war three but forgetting air conditioning,
So freezing in winter, then in summer they swelter.

And the ads, the commercials of modern,
Selling things to folks on the go.
It's our weekend airwaves filled full to the top,
It's our local radio show.

Hey Immigrant

punctured, onward continue to quit decision's to make second guessing a moment ,
wit a wound wide opened by sliding the cold shoulder's lap first but enlightened by composure, intellect wasted misuse's of time the truth withheld to prove ill state vs. denial of a mans prime singled too proud deviating the lost to worship no man who lives under trial.

Senseless Talk

Every soul on the planet knows that people are senseless.
You'd think we'd wise up some over time.
Time and time again people focus on being devious.
Is the way they play their way of being real? People
Who really try to make a difference sometimes spill
Their kindness on arid land when what it really needs is a flood.

And I've tried to provide a flood
Of kindness and love and values, but to them, it's so senseless
And pointless that I'd much rather spill
It on someone who'd give me the time
Of day and actually appreciate what other people
Don't even stop to consider because they're too busy deviating.

From what I've seen, all people know is how to be deviant.
They want to be the ones to unleash the beast, bring the flood
Of deception and drown the truly honest people
Who care enough to even reach out a hand to those senseless
And lost souls. I've lost many a wink and spent many a night time
Thinking of a way to save my blood from being the next to spill.

But I am not the only good-blooded one who posses what they wish to spill.
I am not the only one trying to out-deviate the deviants.
I know someone who, despite the lies she is told all the time,
And despite the pseudo-amorous atmosphere, sees the real flood
Of bull droppings thrown her way. She can see through the senseless
People's transparent lies. She will go farther that most of those people.

It is a skill to be able to feel my spiel about most people
And their mindlessness. I hope I'm not around when they spill 
Their mind and speak their hearts and rant and rave in their senseless
Talk. They think they make sense but in their quest to deviate,
They unplug the faucet of all that's bad. They cause the flood
That ruins those who want to bless the world with their time.

I wish someone would bless me with their time.
What do we have to do to rid the world of senseless people?
Shall we pray for another flood?
Or should we take it upon ourselves to spill
The guilty blood? I'm tired of all these people and their deviousness
Who take pride in being senseless.

I, for my part, will not waste my precious gift. I will not spill 
My knowledge upon deaf ears and closed hearts and devious
Minds. Because that, my dear reader, would truly be senseless.

Altered Perspective

Altered Perspective 



“The higher you go the cooler
  “The air and weather become.”
No sooner had I been a Ruler
  Than I was utterly unwelcome.

“We elevated you to the Chair
   “Of comfort and to Authority.”
It turned to be an electric chair
  That torched me to Eternity!

“You’ll receive very fat peaks...”
  Attractive package so I thought.
Ah! What deep and  deadly peaks
  From vultures in a drought!

“Adopt being a true Motivator
  “Who, by example must lead.”
I turned out to be an Activator
  Of worker indolence instead!

“Management means doing a job
  “Through others; one, two or three.”
Yet, menial work bereft my snob,
  All are doing work through me!

‘You must Control, you must Lead.”
  How sweet power sounds to be!
Yet, en masse my toe they tread
   ‘Before chasing me up the tree!

“You should do all but Plan,
  “And eschew deviating Course.”
I’m isolated, I am just One
  On the mercy of a United Force!

The Higher you go the Cooler....
  No! The Higher, the Hotter:
I’m brewed, they are the brewer
  I seethe in Management’s pot!

Insignificant

Staring at the Universe a speck of decaying dust, roaming like restless rust
A sovereign statue underrated & unjust, searching solitudes of trust
With a mirage of mirrors in my view, steering my soul to scantly skew
Meticulously moving quizzically on cue, banished beneath the blue

We are Nomads of the rising Sun, surviving the fields of oblivion as one
First, we crawl, walk then run…exiting the earth when we are done
We are but a tear in the oceans of time, drowning in a downhill climb
A speck of lamented light or sublime, a phantom peripheral pantomime

Dormant death encroaches with remorse, only to silence and enforce
Invader of dreams like a Trojan-Horse, never deviating from its course
Stay awake from this slaving sleep, taking away your breath with a sweep
Does the lion lie with the sheep, when we cross the abyss of the deep?

How Finished

Onward as if an immigrant who continued to quit with decision's to make second guessing but insistent never forfeiting or submitting,
 
tactic attacking the angle iron horse idol to victor a victim, 

doors cast opened from darkened corners' leading those found to comfort zones entailing tension and turmoil refusing to live enlightened by priority and composure 

but the keen mind's eye on the thief stealing consciously the vision and essence held ended thorough wickedness

 now alone too proud and quick deviating a mans lost cause to one of worship none from blood

 who live notorious under error and trial the ending becomes, he who loses his faith under gods only watchful son is without lesson foolishly caught down stream

the storm beginning, their losses form misusing time and their truth withheld, inside, washed away with ill state vs. denial.
