Just so mesmerizing,
Always distracting my body,
Passive...

When you have to do something particular,
Is truly distracting....

But I can see my rear is that
Why be a fool
To thine own self be true
Loving me in distracting new hat

In the presence of your absence...
Yet, I find it very content,
To be within your distracting silence......

Too many thoughts at the same time
I’m distracting myself with a rhyme
My brain is on fire
With poetic desire
But I’m sure this one’s not worth a dime...

psychedelic frogs wandering in and out of my mind
taking my blue eyes away from adult sights
I thank you for distracting me
as I taste another of Mommy’s gummies...

student
open, willing
listening, observing, watching
satisfaction, successful, aimless, unfulfilled
distracting, annoying self-serving
close-minded, uneducated
bully...

playful prancing pixie Petula Penelope
prancing in a parade beside Patty and me
preventing platitudes from distracting playboys three
privately pestering both Patty and me...

A staring contest, wonder who will win 
Will you psyche me out with distracting din
But I will hee haw on cue
Because I'm smarter than you
I trust your growl more way more than your grin...

mama’s ordered world
nondebatable in youth
tying me to the past

modern day wonders
appealing and distracting
pulling at apron strings

Most of our lives are spent
icing the cake

Covering the substance
where meaning partakes

To coat and embellish
what we most try to hide

Distracting, misleading
—shrouded inside

consciously
turn on the
subtle mental
white noise 
in order to 
drown out 
the meaningless 
distracting 
commotion
that lay in the 
background of 
the subconscious 
mind as memories 
not needed any further...

Natalie,
oh deer what a tease,
but all good fun,
soft as the breese,
c'mon which one?   :)

Dr Ram
Sounds like our possums here, 
distracting dogs an acting queer, 
going bump in the night, not true delight,
 i'm out of beer:)...

Hear
The
Calling
To evolve
As silky petal
Attracting bees as sweet nectar
Without falling in the trap of the black spider web
Distracting from the purpose waiting to be reached by mellow words susurred in the ears

Some evening few words pass between us.
You may be reading the paper or a new book,
And I may be planning a new lesson or writing a poem.

These are activities we could do in separate rooms,
Yet the void created when we're apart
 
Is too distracting....

Hear me another time
I must wait to begin
This may be the only
Chance I get to send

Why can I never tell
How I show up acting
The more I do for me 
From us, distracting

I never seem to hear
Until it is too late
But that is not what
I can forsee as fate...

the noise is so distracting,
i can't focus on the
few words wanting out.
thoughts would whisper now,
can't hear them with a shout.
beat by the droning turbine,
exhausted by the bus' grunt.
who i am, who i will be,
lost somewhere in this din,
strung to this revelry....

the darkness is distracting
while the moon sings her song
anxiety fills the air
waiting for the change in pace
screams fill the air
the pain is intense
it has ended
howls are everything you hear
time to run
forget the trials of human life
hunt
thats all you think of...

an ancient 
            conversation
            in
              distracting gusts
daydreaming tones
a
hissing ash
         where the hazel sways
beech rustle
as
acers doze
               noises off
               birch rattle
&all
      in winter
                   strip off
&doze...

The hearts of youth long to wander
Through streets of a foreign locale.
Pass the gates of Chinese temples
And row down Venetian canals. 

An unrelenting urge pulses through 
The Veins of youth who quickly move;
Place to place seeking distracting solace
From pressures they feel the need to prove....

i wish i could hear
what he has to say to me,
the frustration of life 
always gets in the way.
my thoughts, my secret
and silent prayers,
spin through my head
distracting me.
i lean in closer, listening now.
he says, "my darling, my daughter,
my sweet, my love,
you are my child,
and i love you so much."...

This what is to be heard
Through this way in this land
Prayers filling the air
Hope in God, He is there
If we wish for something
Despair then distracting
Patience leads to faith
The Word is Mercy, the Word saith
"Trust in me
And it shall be
That you will see
What I have for thee
Forever in Eternity"
Says the Lord....

Moving on doesn’t make the past disappear, 
One trigger goes off and the skeletons reappear. 
Shaking and clacking its bones distracting my daily life. 
Breathing on my neck grabbing my attention, 
Sucked in an undertow with no way to escape its hold. 
An ocean of memories and emotions arise to a resurrection....
