Eyes of bright each morning a different color 
it did not deflect the palpable shade of her heart

Listen to poem:

darling
follow your dreams
waste not time
deflect all negative energy
water off a duck's back
life is short

I like chirping women.
They never bothered me.
They gather like a flock
of birds, enthusiastically..
If they jab me with their beaks
and begin to peck,
I just fluff my feathers and deflect......

Listen to poem:

meltwater
exhaled breath
warm remnant of kiss
inescapable consequences
ramifications off-ramp.

despite en garde, parry loop,
deflect dodge defy deny and cry;
relent now, 
imbibe and savor the afterglow....

The bird in the tree
Singing so beautifully!
Does not sing for me

And yet, as witness
There’s no doubt I benefit
And am doubly blessed

By the notes that play
In delightful ricochet
I deflect your way!...

black diamonds are different than white ones
They did not form inside the earth
They arrived here on asteroids

They are from outer space
register ten on the Mohs hardness scale
and deflect negativity from the wearer...

20 years of time
Time for me
20 years I've
climbed
And fallen free
20 years a dime 
Not so easy
20 years my prime
I'll live happily
20 years I deflect
Protect
I,Reject
20 years I reflect
My final year of
neglect...

Dappled daunting dandy
 deft decentralizing defender 
deistic delphian deniar
 deliverable deflationary determinist
deny defer delude deflect
 divisive dissentious dualism
dogmatic dumbstruck duplicity
 dyspneic democratic disillusioned

If I could
if they let me.
truly I say to you!
I would expel the rifle
that inhabits my unconscious,
would deflate all tricks,
unused
would deflect everything
impossible to savor me
in full consciousness...
I would abandon the spiritual void
to live naked
and full for love...!...

No less cold, nor less hot
And yet, in my day
What had induced, more so
Outward facing joy.
Dragged off from did annoy
As deflect away.

Nothing can thwart a child!
True now. Truer then!
And let me now tell you
Of such a self will.
Air froze, air fused, and still
A door flew open....

You confused  the situation
by alarming the guests
saying close 
but no cigar
You always gave quaint encouragement
by virtue of your factuals
We sweetly sang out of tune
to deflect the despondency
On the chimes befalling
you set the table for many guests
but could ill afford the meal provided...

Bullets aimed true.
Underbelly target exposed
Lest you scent fear;
Lest you sight reluctance,
Even though time has granted armor
To deflect your shots.
Pain is no longer within
Range of your guns.
Outwardly strong,
Onward, I travel,
For I am Bulletproof.

Our hearts can't touch, our minds deflect
Absurd conclusions, I'll regret
Breaking up so many times
Your reasons do not rhyme

I think I better off this way
I love you, that's what i will lay
Rupturing my soul, hope that I can
Last breath. . Goodbye. . 'til we meet again

Pugnacious crystals deflect penetrating light
Eyelashes dance along cheekbones come night.
Dirt-faced dignities transfix as delusions
Desolve dainty dandelions with nuclear fusion.

Sweat gathers in sleeping crevices along slacken skin
When deserved disillusionment wields unlikely fins
So set for disharmonization and discourse
Towards the mist of bogs and perverse intercourse....

Proudly those cocks prance
Circling the other in dance
Crassly they peck then strut
Sharp in beck and detract

Tilting their heads in study
Shrewdly they're each ready
Smooth and certain they deflect
No moment of regret to reflect

They hide greater feelings of pain
And show no anguish, only disdain
Colorful feathers bloody the street
But nothing would stop this pageant...

You mean to convey passion
but your voice is devoid of it.
Your words a dagger
come straight at my heart.
I cannot respond 
to these fusillades;
I can only deflect, counter, 
invent excuses,
turn cold and shiver in the night.

Two cats fighting in the alley.
a game also small minds play,
and when we run out of steam,
I feel no loss, watching you
sink out of sight in
your own quicksand.

wielding, slashing releasing my wrath
rhyming prose my double-edged sword
releasing all this pent-up anger
directed at my own weaknesses

berating, lambasting where it seethes
even though I saw, I failed to see
with every withdrawal and your repose
a shield you use to deflect my blows

the sweetest gift you could have left
this one I use to pen and reflect
the only one who has let me down
is the one in the mirror staring back...

Splick, splosh, splash. The stormy sky’s crash;
Emptying all of heavens rejected sadness onto our heads.
Greed is laughing, as gales fell trees to the marshy ground.
The knurled earth twists and boils spitting out sorrow.
Lightning strikes!
Umbrellas deflect angels’ tears and direct the gods’ fury,
Darkness encompasses the earth-
Evil takes Joy’s place- 
All is death. All is hatred.
When an infant’s cry’s for a lost mother lightens the skies....

Heartless beings only seek to feel the damage that they cause to others

Unknowingly, only being aware to see the damage that they have caused.

The eyeless ones mock the most strongest in envy of their abilities to deflect the repetitive back stabbings that they sought to create from misery.  

The enemies may stand tall and proud along with their deceasing spirit but 
Lunacy tends to creep over their one sided lies while hiding underneath their darkening truths....

Why does is seem like 
so many people are avoiding reality 
and filling their minds with a very odd 
and sad version of reality
They see with distorted thought 
and imagery
They choose to deflect their 
"present here and now " 
self for a glob of a mess of self 
My patience is thin for the 
willfully or lazily ignorant people
They choose not to learn or understand 
reality any clearer
Its like they live in stupid world. 
Thier dying mind has got to be a joke...

Why do we omit to reflect
On the need to genuflect 
To God waiting for it in His Altar
To be moved to mercifully alter
What in life makes us falter …

The Often Out-Of-Order
We wouldn’t want to go further
In the nature of a triumphing defect
With its concomitant effect; 
As bad as balls that deflect 
Or words A Grammarian didn’t inflect …

Ample reasons we have to be sad, 
When we keep losing but aren’t mad
Or keep spending hard-to-stay wad 
And telling people we once it had....
