Mind's minute mirage may muffle,
But biding by blinding brings burns.
Severely she'll sunder, so scuffle,
'Til tomorrow, tomorrow turns.
Leave
Not stay
Turn
And walk slowly away
As if said less words don’t leave
As if blank stares draw each out of avoidance
Overcasting the light that struggles hard to remain
Silence the music,
cease the avoidance
Turn all these games into
precious first moments
It's time, don't you think?
to fight the same war
Or maybe it's time
to stop fighting at all
a year feels like forty
a crack becomes a gaping hole
emptiness swallows
hatred fades to bitterness
memories lead to tears
avoidance becomes a gnawing ache
i hate that stretch of road
Form:
I see him
relentlessly busy
running in every which direction
scattered to the winds
anything to evade
the constant chatter of his mind

She’s fierce with red eyes
Evoked by power of fire
Terror, corruption
Quite a sizzling hot feeling
Avoidance of normalcy

The always amazing and unassuming
flight from confrontation fright
The rude avoidance of acquaintance
with life’s challenges with dances
How can these issues of man survive,
and still claims the balls?
Sadness
Emotional pain—
A soulful melancholy
A sense of deep hurt . . .
Avoid when it’s possible . . .
An epiphany for change!

All are some
Some are all
The soot within rots and stagnates
And all I have become
Is a garbage of putrid avoidance,
Vague as muddy clay---a leak from sewers
Unless cleansed by rising heart
Free from negative energy.
Rumi Contest 11th Nov 2016
My legs feel poor in an unkind way
I don’t want to talk about anything
I don’t want to talk about anyone
Hoarseness will ingest lungs
Loss will be learnt from rot
I [will] have no eyes
I [will] have no tongue
I [will] have no heart
The avoidance, the whispers, the fear
of fellow Jews now daily I hear
Do I dare walk around with my skullcap on
If I see Palestinians, should I run
Tonight marks the first Chanukah light
that 21st century Jews crouch in fear, out of sight
Has your life
become an anthem
to those things
that you’ve fled
Did denial
and avoidance
leave you once
in good stead
Can you swear
to the heavens
you had
no other choice
Cowardice
and trepidation
the breath
—in your voice
(The New Room: November, 2023)
My heart bleeds
Standing over myself
My heart bleeds
Red pools below
Like a finger painting gone wrong
Blood everywhere
Pictures lay out
Smiling couple sprawled out on the floor
Silent from below
I’m not moving
I’m alone now in this void
It’s not suicide from a broken heart
You can’t give your best behind Walls
Fearful of taking that leap into one to commit to a life in hand
Dreams are made possible by openness not from behind walls or unhealed trauma’s
My heart breaks
I know you’re in denial of your style
Avoidance-
Is not Secure and I’m so sorry you never learned
Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power,
cardinal qualities of God,
raining down on us all in a copious shower.
We can embrace them all,
drinking them in, til we're soaking wet.
Or shield ourselves from them,
running in avoidance,
living life in perpetual regret.

This.Illusion.Of.Separation.Is.Pure.Insanity. Past the veil is a pure reality that is filled with abundance and unity. It contains the most effortless existence. However.We.Would.Rather.Complicate.Our.Lives.And.Live.In.Dysfunction.
Hot on the heels of need
A feeling like no other
A crawling, spreading sensation
Insides leaking out
Too painful to show
Too needy
Too sticky
Repulsive and ugly
Overwhelming urge to hide
Curl up; defend with rejection
Soothe with avoidance
The bliss, however temporary, of numbness
Until
Need is awoken again
"Stop! Wait! Wait! Wait, Wait Meet!
Hold your eyes to the blur moon."
Sun above the head, the beauty I see is night,
All dark, the flowers, the clouds, the skies,
And the faded dusty twinkling stars up-high.
"For the avoidance of curse,
Moon was fairly beautiful.
While avoiding the moon,
My eyes were after for you."
Opportunity presented itself
I closed my eyes
Learning seemed hard
I closed my eyes
I pushed open a door to my new start
I closed my eyes
Nothing worked out
I closed my eyes
Facing my reality
I closed my eyes
Losing the worth for which I strived
Every waking moment my heart cried
However hard I tried
I couldn't close my eyes.
This is a rap for all yo' gangsters,
Who wish to learn how to prevent cancer
If you see a complete change in mole,
Don't think it's all for a LOL
If you have some lumps and bumps,
Don't take it as a result of stress from that ol' Donald Trumps
If you are receiving alot of pain,
Font just ignore it and throw your life down the drain
he is sound asleep
did bury my dead cat (Henry) deep
then will cry and weep
no more reliance
life is full of avoidance
contains defiance
each night seems so still
when we did hear whippoorwill
on our windowsill
God always hinted
wait until He consented
then to church sprinted
we gave God a test
kill sinners who are a pest
help bird build her nest
Reflecting on years gone by
Hefty sorrow anchors my soul
Each time one of you left
My heart was left less whole
The world turns and times they change
I am living my new norm
I try to live my best life
Though for you I eternally mourn
My focus is right now and onwards
With avoidance to dwell
Yet sorrow endlessly haunts me
Despite reluctantly bidding you farewell
The sadness inside me clings to me like glue
I saw the love
I felt it
I saw the detachment
I felt it
I saw the avoidance
I felt it
but I love her
She felt it
It hurts to see it sabotage
Love
To be swiped away like a teardrop falling down
Splinter fragments of Love
Painfully Piercing my soul
A slow death comes to me
As without love
I am no more
Blackness absorbs my soul
Fond Farewell
Questionable relationships,
Blemished with disappointment.
Unforeseen deception,
Sincerity a sham.
Self-interested motives,
Fair-weathered associations.
Politically correct affiliations,
Unforgivable avoidance.
Cast-off, black-listed,
Circumstantial accusations.
Self serving agendas,
Betrayal no more.
No love lost....
What comes around, Goes Around.
