I forget I don't exist
Then at night I remember
And I disappear...

it came,
no more searching in the light

Nothing burning
to distract
—shadows of delight

In my each heart beat I breathe you
When you try to distract from her 
Just remember that I still love you....

Intoxicating senses, driving madness to insanity.
Intense betrayals soundlessly distract, unmasking secrets....

Concocted to distract the mind 
With idle trickery
Then and now
When and where
A question of reality
There is only here
Always here
Always now
Just BE...

loud sounds are hell
heating duct blowers distract me
Ouch! Is that the sound of a bell?
music piped in puts me over the edge.
I am barely hanging onto insanity’s ledge....

Looking forward,
  looking back

Both now futile, 
  both distract

  which to blame

This moments truth

A Need to Succeed 

Perhaps therapy will try and need
So some day will be able to succeed
Together, get whole, complete act
To others be kind and not distract
Stand in way of them and impede.

Think I'll install a bowl on my computer chair soon
Just sit there bottomless
Add some perfume I guess
When visitors come, I'll distract them with a tune...

Diving dolphins, dash, dart... devour delicious discovery.
Dolphins delightfully dance.
Divers decide dolphins deserve dessert,
Dolphins dig deep dividing delights.
Don't distract!...

"In the very same way,
that the media distracts
us from what's important, 
by broadcasting trivial mess,
the enemy will attack our
person, in an attempt to 
distract us, from our
PURPOSE."

Wind rustles her cover
whining of pups distract
wafting scent entices
weariness piques her need
weakness seduces her
wiliness picks her prey
wantonness her attack

They’re countless and they’re many
like ripples in a stream
Flowing swiftly, to distract
like thoughts inside a dream

His statements have no meaning
for no knowledge dwells within
They’re empty, like the bubbles
often followed by a grin

Distract me with your loving hands
Steel from me that desiring glance
Please share with me erotic dance
I want you even more

I need to have you here this night
Please satisfy my lover’s plight
You are my only one true delight
I know that, yes for sure...

She is a black hole, an abyss,
cutting down all men in

Her path.

A tease, a tramp, a tremor - he restrains
himself from saying

"Your father failed to parent you."

None is the amount of respect 
she displays;

Anything to distract or disrupt another, she does....
