Best Divert Poems

Somber is the color of the day...
Window glass distorts the view, of the dreary afternoon
Prisms of light cavorting outside, are reflected from the dew
and rainbows are splashed, from an old pewter lamp 
       as if to divert me of...

There for you


Always my love it shall rest on your shoulders
Even when clouds fill the sky
Holding you tightly for now and forever
Drying each tear you may cry

Keeping you safe as a light in the darkness
Holding your hand as you go
Wearing a smile, helping you to...

The thing about today is that:
                      It will be different than any other day
  Many different factors will share in the reasons

I can cry at night when the world is lost in sleep,
      I can divert my mind with your thoughts when the wounds run deep!
But tonight I sit & wonder what is it you do when in pain?

It’s not so much the road,
as the way you travel it.
Many roads divert, others intersect
and guidance down the right one
comes from within.
There’s a connection, you see,
mind-to-mind, 
soul-to-spirit;
oneness builds a majestic journey.
life’s ups and downs...
they’re merely,
adventures along the way.

Yes Lord I will follow You, knowing it’s the right thing to do.
To the depths of my being, I know I will be true.
I learned to really love You, and then I felt brand new.
Knowing it’s the right thing to do, Yes Lord, I will...

I love you only because I love you
by Pablo Neruda
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I love you only because I love you;
I am torn between loving and not loving you,
Between apathy and desire.
My heart vacillates between ice and fire.

I love you only because you’re the...

She told it this way.....

He said...San Francisco......
Then up to Mendocino
I said...can I go
He said...I guess you can

'Cause, long since Albuquerque
That's when he first hurt me
My heart's dying to divert me
To the promised land

And...oh, the nights are long
When you're playing tag along
And this old heartache..hanging on
Is...

How beautiful the music that he made;
his lilting song was carried by the breeze
and waves of water, and the lyre he played
sent all the birds to singing in the trees.

All creatures of the forest he entranced.
The magic of his song made them alert,
and even rocks...

Fingers toy with my nearly worn out bank card.
Not too confident, I hold onto my nerves, hard.
Ahead, petty items in her trolley hold me slowed.
The cashier stops, lengthily examining a bar code.
I glance around at the growing queue, blindly.
I bump into him, behind me, and...

Baby, every-time you try to avoid me

A cute bird sings to make me calm
A naughty cat tires to help me laugh 
A stupid dog barks to divert my mind!!!

Baby, the creatures of all type feel my heart
Love me the way I love you
So creatures continue...

Chest tight
no light
cant fight
a blight

Tears threten to spill
I promise not to kill
I beg for you to fill
just please wait untill

I crave the past,
tears under the mask.
warmpth of a hug,
the pull of a heart string does tug.

I yearn for the old joy of lunch time,
Now I...

In our lives, we like a friend
one that's always good to us
but not a fair-weather one at all
they don't care you miss the last bus

It's better to have a real true friend
one who brightens your day like a rainbow
a positive friend to inspire you
keeping you...

Holes in my socks also my shoes
Holes in the day, nothing to lose
Holes in my soul, nothing will flow
Holes in my dreams, nowhere to go

Holes in my pockets, no money to spend
Holes in my wanting and apathy descend
Holes in the road, the hills are too...

Underneath unfathomable depths, choked by decaying thistle,  
Where briny seas mix with putrid sentiment,  
Creating cloudy waters of macabre melancholy,  
Stand rusted arches, encompassing a thick, bleak, moldy door.  
The smell of musk fills every molecule.  
A slippery path of...
