my wolf self is amused by your efforts
to dissuade my loyal friends
they know my heart,
seeing I work for the common good

We all seem delayed.
We all dissuade.
We all seem afraid.
We all seem strayed.
And then in a decade,
We all evade.
And then in another decade,
We all fade....

Lonely lost love laid-back,
Loyalty, legality layoff. 

Death Dogged down,
Died due for love. 

The dissuade love which neither started,
Nor it has an end....

We are here and we will live
Your disagreement won't dissuade us
Like hands on clocks, times have changed
tick tick tick tock, your time is up
We are here and we will live
Your disagreement won't dissuade us....

The midnight masquerade ball.
Seemingly slight brocade shawl.
Beseechingly glance, decayed hall.
Haunted trance, unafraid fall.
Vaunted skies evade all.
She tries dissuade call.
Decree daylight, unmade, befall....

Despite your best efforts 
To dissuade me
From the solitary life 
Our friendship still remains,
Though we travel different paths.

a day without sunshine is a night without knowing 
the goal
the coal 
the filth the color 
these plebes give to us artists 
who were just quietly leaving marks......
..to dissuade another deadly winter
and
then
they
died....

Nothing like dog love
Unconditional
Totally immersed
Loyal to a fault
Cannot dissuade them
 
You can be mean
Does not matter
Head on your knee
In love so much
 
They are yours
Forever
Not leaving
 
Pure love
Dog love

Missing you greatly with strong desire
New phobia arises with heartache;
On this rock,I build my confidence
Plenty ideas and people tried to dissuade me
As good- time memories flash,and I remain assured.

Love speaks no other language besides its own
Blind to faults of the object of desire
Deaf to subtle warnings or loud protestations
Love sees only blue skies and beauty featuring
When cupid shoots his arrow, dipped in a potion of love  
None can dissuade unless the arrow is broken!

This is a Messieurs Temple of high rank that disallows entry.
Here comes disturbance and confusion to dissuade at the door.
We will run fast, lock the entrance, and shout; now all is done.

Valued clients, we have listened
and have taken on-board
your concerns
regarding the political correctness
of this our store.

Thus we are now a Gun-Free Zone,
and are confident that the notices
on our front doors will dissuade law breakers,
will make us much less vulnerable
from attacks by gun totting maniacs.

Please do bring the kids....

In the world
of sleep,
Where dreams are
free
Now and then
She comes to me
A world explored,
but yet-so uncharted.

The wisdom of
a thousand minds
could never
dissuade this high
And so, as they say
it must be
love.

Would you please
describe to me
the jokes, the schemes,
the lockless key.
Visions of equality
dissolving as quickly
as what they say
must be love....

It's good to have friends that understand stress and the like,
they know when to shut up and when to speak,
when to persuade and when to dissuade,
they know how to cheer you up,
especially when you feel like you are going to die,
they know who you like,
they know who you don't like,
they know when to stop,
most of the time, at least,
and they know exactly when to give you a good hug....

The lies that plead
The dancing, shaking fearful knees
My empty needs
There’s something taken out of me

Run away
No matter what I feel, it is this way
I can not stay
Forgive me, but you can’t dissuade

Burning eyes
Been given something I despise
I have died
It seems that all I do is ask it why

Home is gone
I’m lonely, falling, singing songs
I can’t belong
Nothing can ever last for long...

A Slice of Hope

An apple announces avarice appealing advice
before behemoths bite biblical bits by
connection, can causality creatively compromise chronology
distancing disastrous demonic development duly dissuade
eating Eden's elated enlightenment edibleness evermore?

she prissily sat among ducks on a lovely Tuesday
wishing her hopes and dreams and confidence away
they did not dissuade her, did not get in her way
their unconcerned attitude kind of uplifted her on this day

ducks are wonderful she thought, I should marry a duck
her last partner had been terrible, condescending, a real f…..
the ducks swam around, not trying to impress her at all.
she felt less alone now, less sad, less sorry, less small....

Dissuade me
From the loyalty of love
And the widows of why
From concealing color
This makeup I cry
Dissuade me
From believing in marriage
And that pain turns bland
From reconciling resolve
And staying my hand
Dissuade me
From cheating my children
By bleeding my tears
From staining innocence
And screaming their fears
Dissuade me
From hating my husband
And divorcing this disgrace
From abusing this trigger
Like the bruises on my face...

The Tiger and the Bear.
Tooth and claw, tearing
flesh as death draws near.


Primitive killer instincts and
lack of fear


Sheer brute strength with a
blood thirst to quench.


The Bear, a tower of strength
with a razor sharp Bear hug to
dissuade.


The Tiger, a ferocious attack upon
your back. Blends in like the wind
itself, moves with stripes of deadly
stealth.


The Tiger and the Bear.
Tooth and claw, tearing
flesh as death draws near...

Micro energies in turmoil, 
Random structures, to dissuade 
Macro energy forms.

Fused, analyzed 
Quantum guidebooks;
Exploits in the theories 
Of bonded relativity;

Mass,	
Light squares,
Struggle with constants;
For defined energy conversions.

The ‘Lord’
Visits us in aura:
As forsaken scientists 
Question the mystery factor 
Of Faith; 

With God’s unknown hand
To guide, 
Does trust, conjure an Aliens
Existence as Universal truth with faith:...

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Of all creatures great and small
Insects are most assiduous folk of all 
They perform assigned duties each day
And let nothing dissuade them on their way
The till the soil and collect the forage
Their labor brings them food, some for storage 
Their diligent spirits have no equaled pace
Mostly repulsed  by a higher stationed  race
Human beings became  Self appointed  superiors 
But without these small beasts humans would be their inferiors...

Remember to help the needy
Whose everyday lives are tough
Even your smallest efforts
Can prove to be big enough

Remember to thank your parents
For all the sacrifices made
For their love and understanding
And for all the dues they paid

Remember the fallen heroes
Their blood and sweat paved the way
For liberty and our freedoms
From the beginning to this day

Remember to be the person
You were always meant to be
Don't let anyone dissuade you
From the path that sets you free...

Trusting isn’t easy,
For those who’ve been hurt before.
All it takes, is to fall,
Right back through that door.

Mistrust creeps back in,
like darkness in the night.
All your reassurances, won’t dissuade,
these thoughts and frights.

The only thing, that will ease my mind,
Is knowing you’re around.
But when you’re un-con-tact-able,
In these hazy thoughts I drown.

The fault was never yours,
It always has been mine.
Trust, I must,
But trust, I can’t,
Until the end of time.
