Defuse Poems | Examples

purple

stir.....
fallen,
arms
so flapping
begins.....

A pan-cake
morning,
no broken
of glasses
just buttery
and
delights...

fear....
begins
where
and much
before
the ghosts
disappeared

I chalk out
 the fades,
of an 
entrance
 to Hades...

It appears,
where
the left eye
is purple
and swollen......

A glorious day,
of buttery and kisses
a rare sweet moment
that I refuse to descent.....

Water will defuse the flame...
I understand the blame
Continuous shame
No hiding under tables,
fast forward to this tavern

It rains in havens
and on sundays
Angels dripping wet,
in best dresses
free flowing
sharp sky glowing
a rainy heavenly

The Wind And The Rain

Powerful forces reign over our world
some forces are evil, but some good
they have a power beyond our lives
if you could strip them bare as nude

Then maybe their power would defuse
but here you have wind and rain
two great forces, when combined so lethal
that they cause trouble to leave a stain

Last evening, lying sleepless until early morn
these two were shouting in full voice
makes one ponder to think so vivid
can cause much damage, like broken joists

In the small hours, listening so clearly
within the whistling wind in tune
joining rain's wetness running down outside
devastation ruling brings so much ruin

These powerful forces are beyond us
reigning outwith our feeble frames
be sure never to forget their venom
catching like wildfire into full flames

Plagued by Memories

Dreams do not resolve, 
They only recall, relive, appall, and gall.
They replay the scenes endlessly,
On loop, over and over again,
With the final chapter, 
Be it a happy, sad or left-hanging ending - missing.
The cure to the plague of memories,
Requires a journal written down when awake.
Recording a list of infections, inflammations and cankers,
With their reliefs in portents, 
potions, hocus pocus, spells and concoctions,
Written down in the stark light of day.
Read and revived, sipped slowly before shut-eye.
Sometimes with a dash of a 'beg to differ' or two.
Or a sprinkle of withdrawal, pulling back to let was, just be,
Pulling the pin, stepping back, sucking in, retreating, 
Chin up and jolly rogered to defuse the angst, stem the rot,
To clear the air and begin again,
Coping!

From Criminal To War Hero

True story, my uncle was a famous safe cracker
Before becoming a soldier in World War I
Known to police in New York City for robbery
The army wanted his skills against the Huns

Employed him to defuse bombs the Germans threw
In the trenches around the front lines
And also to defuse all the mines around them
Till the end of the war was showing signs

Dying in the war he received a medal of honour
Posthumously for his heroic bravery
And his great contribution to the war effort
Made amends for his past so unsavoury

When I came along I was named after him
Quite a hero I always looked up to
Before the war, a criminal known to police 
After death got the recognition he was due

Cascading Water

Cascading water 
crystalline blue;
Rid me of stains 
the days produce.

Make haste to quench 
my torrid throat.
Seal, cavernous wounds,
this body totes.

Disguise these tears
that drench my face.
Soothe aching muscles,
my strength replace.

Defuse the doubt
that clouds my mind.
Spiritual drops
refreshes soul, divine.

Reviving energy 
pours from the spout.
Welcoming, comforting
its warmth, its sound.

Once you're well done
with all my requests,
cleanse dreadful dreams
so I may rest.

From A Burglar To A World War One Army Hero

True story, my uncle was a famous safe cracker
Before becoming a soldier in World War One
Known to police in New York City for robbery
The army wanted his skills against the Huns

Employed him to defuse bombs the Germans threw
In the trenches around the front lines
And also to defuse all the mines around them
Till the end of the war was showing signs

Killed in the war he received a medal of honour
Posthumously for his heroic bravery
In spite of his unsavoury and unruly past 
Made amends for his past so unsavoury

When I came along I was named after him
Quite a hero I always looked up to
Before the war, a burglar known to police 
After death got the recognition he was due

My official name is Charles Byard Ellison

Out of darkness comes light

When I am down and out
Feeling so far from good
And life I find in doubt
That's when my writing would
My deep, dark worries rout
A softer voice,not crude
Eases me from that bout
To better that dark mood.

And when that fog has risen
How sweet then is my muse
To swell my hopes of heaven
Hope springs quickly to infuse
Serenity of vision
Gloom and darkness to defuse

I Didn't Want to Write This

I didn’t want to write this poem,
But how could I refuse
When every day I read or hear
More horror in the news?

The Mideast situation’s
Always had opposing views
And sadly, when there’s fighting,
Everybody feels the screws.

Yet after World War II, survivors
Thought they’d paid their dues,
But here we are again with hatred
Aiming at the Jews.

At colleges, behavior
That nobody should excuse
Has caused fear among the students
They have chosen to accuse.

Some had relatives the Nazis
Forced in camps to wear tattoos,
So they’re shocked to learn that loathing
Hasn’t managed to defuse.

It’s a horrible reminder
That so many can confuse
Outright evil with the right to have
A homeland one can’t lose.

Bad Report About Place of Domicile

Here, general life is hideous,
All the well-paid jobs tedious,
Robbers determined to loot,
The Robbed determined to shoot.
You’re wasting time as you shout,
The Nice option: To get out!

One cannot beat Miguel’s heat,
Only beat timely retreat:
An idea minds don’t refuse:
The best way to bombs defuse…

Mine really has been daydreams
While trousers burst at their seams;
I used to like her egrets,
Now, with them full of regrets…

In me I see no Captain.
Where did I the rank obtain?
I don’t its hall-marks contain,
“Captain” I shouldn’t retain…
Who thinks his a go-getter 
In Miguel his Golgotha 

So, fast, I’m coming back home
I hope none has touched my foam
Also my bicycle ‘Chrome’
Of great help when I towns roam.

Wait

Oh, my dear muse, why must you 
bruise,
my heart like bad art while we’re on 
a cruise.
We fuss and fight, get out of my sight; 
you lose.
You’re wrong, you wore a thong, it’s 
big news!
It’s a shame, you are so lame, I got 
the blues.
Oh, wait! Let's make a clean slate, but
you must choose.
Don’t you care? Live on a dare, notice
the clues.
If you must; don’t wear rust, it will
confuse.
Wear a hot pink thong; sing a song;
it’ll defuse.

Relinquish Imagined Knowing

The scriptures bemuse,
their teachings confuse,
for we
grasp not offered clues
and so win or lose,
we see
that we may so choose
love without excuse,
to be.

Tied to our mind tree,
how can we be free
unless
head and heart agree
to frolic in glee,
undress,
flowing thus carefree,
in a fun filed spree;
no stress.

If we would progress,
fears we must address,
defuse,
that bliss makes ingress
and God may soul bless,
transfuse
His grace to access
cause of soul’s duress,
to cruise.

A sad end to his heroic efforts during the war 
Making amends for a past unsavoury

When I was born I was named after him
His exploits made him my hero!

Writers Block

writers block 

have writer’s block
words can’t find
now in shock
lost my mind
to unlock
have assigned
a coldcock
electroshock.

Now who do I hear calling me
my trusted friend my muse
your mind is clear and free
you have no time to lose
take up your pen says she
we have a theme to choose
a poem now will be
your writer’s block you will defuse.

A Tale of Daring and Bravery

Eating a bowl of red jello
    a friendly alligator said hello

  Sociable me greeted him back
    not desiring a 'gator attack

  Came across an amiable bear
    asked me if I'd brush his hair

  Trembling scared, I took the dare
    mouthing a secret, silent prayer

  Met up with a smiley lion
    offered me a drink of his wine

  I didn't refuse this chance to defuse
    a meet-up I could only lose...

  All this happened in our new, 'interactive' zoo
    ~ which I'd vote to defund, if I were you

Human Error

A medical claim was denied;
Insurance could not be applied.
So I got a bill
But won’t pay until
All research has been satisfied.

An hour of phone calls ensues;
My patience I’m starting to lose
But finally – yes!
Someone cleans up the mess
And my anger begins to defuse.

It seems that an error was made,
Attention to detail not paid.
My insurance I.D.
Has a 6, not a 3
So the claim, first denied’s now delayed.

But at least a solution was found
After getting a slight run-around.
If you have to get sick
Here’s a good little trick – 
Check to see if the paperwork’s sound.
