When you're intellectually credible but wicked to stupor, 
The art of being off-topic marches alongside as your shadow. 
As you spin tales, divert and mislead, 
Truth becomes a distant, fading thread....

There are many things that are trying 
to divert each one's attention 
that might endanger his life. 
There are times when study 
and work never help 
but hinder him 
from serving 
the Lord 
God....

It’s the silence war that’d always been fought
whether to say yes or no to the thought
Give it a try? It might hurt…
Stand stock-still? Nothing will divert
but at the end its experience they’d brought....

king 
from the as usual womb,
 
king
from the as usual clot of blood 

through the thorny same pain 

by forgetting all
on secret round table
kings thirst divert 
for blood like wine!

REALIZE
Sometimes love is just another way to realize
Why do you keep complaining to criticize
Let's divert the attention to the white lies
We should be leaving the scene to demise

SCARECROW 
Farmer's last cry 
Birds fly by 

AGING 
Growing grey hair 
A rocking chair  

ALCOHOLIC 
Too much drink 
Head in sink 

WEATHER 
Clouds slowly divert 
Sunburn high alert 

MALFUNCTION 
Robots having sex 
Must be complex...

You need to be extra safety aware
For the school children we so much care
Keep musical system off, peripheral vision alert
In busy traffic don’t let your attention divert
Not to be late, don’t speed up and be rash
For accidents may happen in a flash....

Baby, every-time you try to avoid me

A cute bird sings to make me calm
A naughty cat tires to help me laugh 
A stupid dog barks to divert my mind!!!

Baby, the creatures of all type feel my heart
Love me the way I love you
So creatures continue to have faith in true love!!!...

Rainbow moon sent by the faerie stars
Wise wolf howls her truth watching her future
She is experiencing a giant crystal ball of feelings
Mystical imagination parades prominently in the kalidescopic sky
Ethereal goddesses divert Zeus so he will not ruin things
They have much to share with the earth tonight...

There’s a red circle on the calendar

It marks the day that
Someone compressed
Your chest
To divert
The squirt
Of blood back to your heart

It didn’t work, of course.

You never quite cared for
Defibrillation.
Or feeling tied down.
Or being needed.

That is why
There’s a red circle on the calendar....

If I could mould a future I would do it
I would invest my years of ease
Withdraw from my accounts of Trust and Respect, and throw it out
Wear the Rock beneath my feet to rubble
Divert the Wind beneath my Wings to another's
If I could pave a path of life
That would be good enough



(Dedicated to my dad on his birthday)...

It’s not so much the road,
as the way you travel it.
Many roads divert, others intersect
and guidance down the right one
comes from within.
There’s a connection, you see,
mind-to-mind, 
soul-to-spirit;
oneness builds a majestic journey.
life’s ups and downs...
they’re merely,
adventures along the way.

The combined light of all that shines
  has blinded my eyes to the fact
    That white lies, blurred lines, and silly signs
      reflect everything I truly lack 

I've been seduced by a clever ruse 
  that was used to divert my attention
    The clues were suffused in the myriad hues 
      In the eyes of the muse I did not mention...

It was all getting old
These endless things
Another year here: misery....
Yet this would divert nor appease
Her cold coming down ? A world in lost
Must we endure another day; these,
Chains their lies truth's, pain! Where is mercy ?
Thousands of years; his grave: slaves, she sings
While tears form our eyes; as skirting round about, nothing....

Locked in a room
Shedding salty tears
Away from the world
Hiding from my fears
In solitude 
So, I can’t be hurt
From the evil outside
I must divert
Why is my pain
Someone else’s gain?
Peering out the window
There is nothing 
But snow
It’s so cold
It must be 5 below
Healing my soul
From a world of pain
A positive outlook
Is what I must gain....

temps random heated
summer has now stalled it's
now autumns call fall~
*
cool breezes forming
divert distant calms fallings
pumpkin spice coffees~
*
candy apple bleeds
of nuts, caramel,  chocolate
cooling down weathers~
*
blistering heat ceased 
it's now Autumns Fall time
season of cools calm~

We sit and gaze from in our husks,
and gaze through our delicate masks.
our superficial filter-eyes
divert us from our tasks.

We hide ourselvesinside our heads
and tell our twisted lies.
We lie until it becomes truth,
even in our fractured minds.

What is the truth?
It's What we say!
We're Victors to the end.
The winners tell it as it is,
and every truth they bend....

On the wall, the night is a picture surrealistic ... In the flesh I tire my life ... My head runs deeply into the world ... And my feet devour distances back ... Here the pen divert me to writing on the white page that is offered ... Voluptuousness, a desire invades me ... I intend to love her writing...but only in the dim light, the final solution appears ... oh! insomnia of the night... !...

An impression can at times last a lifetime
Where time fails, it is etched in memory 
To flicker and perish among my unlit wicks
The darkness tempts me to strike a match
I dearth to start a fire to burn away my past
However, you are a craven light switch
For someone to divert my attention
And guide me to the glory, I rightly merit
That's where it belongs.
