deflecting focus

is a stuporous trance
genesis of delusion
anchoring us here

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
If he offers you champayne
And celebrates like a winner
Just say to him
"Are you drinking your dinner?"

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
A best with animal magnetism
Is what he will probably think
Just say to him
"So you're the missing link"

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
And if they are relentless
And as thick as granite
Just say to him
"Do they ever shut up on your planet?"

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
“What would I have to do” he may ask
“For you to go out with me?”
Just reply to him
“Shed 60 pounds really”

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
If he should hesitate over your name
Then that’s your cue
Just say to him
"Don't worry. I forgot your name, too!"

Intention of action…
inaction pursues
Deflecting commitment,
with roadblocks infused
Intention of action…
step one and step three
Step two is the question
—of what comes to be

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
“What would it take” he might say
“For you to go out with me?”
Just reply to him
“Me to lower my standards dramatically”

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
If he sugest he is your prince
Come to rescue you from your plight
Just say to him
"You live with your mom still, right?"

without anchor all ships
sail and without passenger
no captain exists to guide
the dispossessed. Only remains
of Peaceful Assembly can
be glimpsed in the association
of favoritism. A favoritism
of familiarity deflecting contempt
by means of ineptitude.

Help! There are two of us in here;
one is ego, the other soul.
Save in deep sleep, ego prevails,
deflecting us from our life role.
Mind is the domain of ego
and soul’s abode, our glowing heart.
Discern with care, worthy hermit,
cause why head and heart stand apart.

how easy can it get
all we need to do
is remain at rest
ego wishes to agitate
deflecting our attention
it’s cravings never abate
invoking bliss magnetism
flow of thoughts cease
joy fills body prism
staid silence enables
bliss ignition in the heart
spoken of in awe in fables

Reeling
Feet skipping
Over black holes
Racing
Deflecting time
Searching for answers
Clues
From spirits gone
From spirits waiting
Tumbling
Forward and backward
Seeking
Peace

As they slowly divide into fractions they crumble
Trying not to fall there's a chance you may stumble
As the Earth shakes & rumbles
I'm just trying to stay humble
Never forgetting my fumbles
Not believing their fables
Cutting the ties and turning the tables
Deflecting the lies
Find the truth through my eyes

as the universe appears and disappears
pulse of aliveness displays myriad hues
then ego surfaces, assigning meaning
to divine magnetism dancing in forms
deflecting attention, mitigating bliss
until single eye restores equilibrium
layer by layer as we thus vaporise
no one remains to weigh and size

Deflecting the light,
you stand in dark,
to find the truth.
To find the truth,
you stand in dark,
deflecting the light.
The numbers had failed.
The numbers. A prayer
for my zero.
For my zero, I walked
whole life.
Whole life. Zero.
Pardon my dust,
I was collecting
for my black hole.
From dust to dust.

Where once my heart seemed shattered
(A million shards of crystal deflecting light)
My eyes, as well, remained so dim
(For nothing to any longer gaze upon)
Yet, somehow I had known, we’d reconnect
(You are the light that does so shine, still)
As the attraction that once was, would win
(You simply are the reason, you’re as the sun)

PARTY FAVORS
Cruising
oceans of anger
casting
shadows on walls
Mathematical
equations
calming
nerves
Deflecting
we wave our
party favors
of
loneliness
Protecting
bubbles from
bursting into
rainbow
colored mud
through
hidden
escapes
thirsting for new
freeflow
shallow love

SEND A BUTTERFLY OR TWO
deep contemplation—consideration
initiated intervention
soft-scented and serene
“yesterday—today—tomorrow”
drifts dispersing dreams
past and present—poised
integrated involvement
melancholy memories merge
quest questioning quietly
yielding—tainted—testimonies
deflecting definitive destinies
Please send a Butterfly or Two

Ballad
Demure in her pose, modest in her ways
Deflecting potential beaus, careful not to stray
Brief in conversation, shunning repartee
Halting in her laughter, her faint smile shadowy
Eyes fixed on the ground, hair pulled tautly back
Lips pursed tight together, her figure corset-wracked
Yet deep within dwelt beauty, of a type so rarely seen
Her eternity of timeless verse, visionary... and pristine

IMPERFECTIONS
why do they want you more
now that you have left than
they have ever wanted
you before
does the pain of you leaving
give them some kind of
perverse pleasure
are they more afraid of living
than of dying alone the
way you chose to go ?
it’s no accident…
songs that sell
the most are sad
sidetracking
bouncing beams
deflecting
realities
we need to know

Blank verse
Inhibitions deflecting attention,
employing soiled filters of narrow mind,
plunge us thus into spasms of contraction,
gripping consciousness in remorseless bind,
until ego urgings, we leave behind.
The breeze that blows, is free and unfettered,
spreading by pollination, bliss nectar,
which yet in deep dungeons, stale and arid,
stagnation being the death precursor.
Let head-heart fused, be with love throb married!
