Eyes
burning
in the night;
guttural growls.
Steer clear of the woods
or you may be
dinner for
hungry
wolves!

You steer clear of society because you think it sinful
You say that the natural is not good, 
Why don’t you admit to demanding bodily contrition from your kids?...

Be circumspect in
Wading into temptation
Steer clear of that danger zone
For the devil is
Always waiting to trap you
Wade not into temptation

There are people
In this world that are
Fill with so much negativity
That it brings out the
Worst in others
Steer clear of them
They will only bring
Negativity into your life
And take you out of
Character!...

No matter you are seventy or seventeen 
Life has promises in store n' is full of sheen 
Come out of your gloomy den
Mix with jolly, lighthearted men
Wear a smile, steer clear of all your care 
In the merry round of life, have a share

Hospital TV shows
Hold my interest
Intrigue me
Enlighten me
Delight me

Language is totally unfamiliar
Like a foreign language, foreign words
Words heard nowhere else
Except maybe in a doctor’s office

And possibly in real hospitals
But I steer clear of those
Not wanting anything to do with them...

Mind not the past, not a thing can change;
You are unique, don't think it's strange.

As often as ever give love to all;
Don't be rude, that may be your fall.
Vicarious living- steer clear away
I know only you can lead the way.
Calm yourself, don't let life pass by
Every piece of advice- a hypocritical try....

Stroll through the land mines of love
  Steer clear of a vial of perfume
Swerve 'round a leopard-skin thong
  Blush at the ruby two-lip blooms

Stroll through the land mines of lust
  Remove all your clothes if you must
Your pulse races, palms sweat to death
  Lie down in these pastures
                    ~ Hold onto your breath...

woah! look at that bookshelf,
it's split into three sections,
how convenient,
there's a politics section, a sports section, and a fiction section,
some of the books look quite interesting,
I'd steer clear of the Hillary Clinton book though,
she can go die in a hole,
(maybe that's a bit harsh. I don't personally know her after all.)...

A tough four-star general was this man called Curtis LeMay

   We in the ranks remember him as old 'iron-ass' to this very day

      He always had a big cigar stuck in his face and he never smiled

         And you'd be well-advised to steer clear of him when he was riled

There's a dangerous place
where nothing will grow,
everything's stuck in place,
and nothing will flow.

Appealing to all of the senses,
but not as safe as you think.
Encompassed by mile high fences,
with a foundation that sinks.

But if you steer clear,
you'll find glory unknown.
I pray you don't go near
the crippling "comfort zone."...

The will to keep expecting the far
And celebrate it sometime in a bar
Honey-sweet news defying today’s anguish
And yesterday’s unanswered  wish:
Igneous-hard belief that the overcast cloud
Won’t for too long remain proud…
Soon to its cruel tenure serve out 
Unconditionally bowing out…

It is unconquerable hope
To in travails steer clear of dope....

My dreams draw from roots of reality,
That grow unharnessed to myth and fantasy.
As they reach hidden heights of the ethereal,
Only to awaken with imagination carefully.

The journeys often lead to lands familiar,
Where joy is the flavor that I share.
And as long as I steer clear of my worst fears ...
I'll bravely avoid those resembling nightmares....

Gossip here, gossip there - best to steer clear.
If you do not, you can pay for it quite dear.
This applies if you're in the west or east,
For you don't want a brittle bug for feast.

Gossip here, gossip there - best not to do.
Doing so can end with more than you can chew.
This applies if you're in the north or south,
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

It is a sin to hurt someone's feelings
It is a sin to speak badly of your fellow
  even if what you say is true
It is a sin to gossip, to slander, to bear tales

How can I steer clear of sin's snares
I who am weak, who is ensconced
  in sin's welcoming arms

O, God, give me strength
to speak well of others
that they may speak well of me
  to judge not, lest I be judged...

If you see a dog sleeping close to a trench
steer clear of the landmine; it’s snowy
the delicate task is delayed, let your chest
breath the cold air while your eyes explode by
the wind-carried powder.
Little dog soldier, runs faithfully smelling danger;
for rats in trenches there’s no peace as long as 
snow continues and this grey soldier keeps after them with his steal shovel....

Skeletons in my closet that threaten to break out,
And I know when I see them I'll be too scared to shout.
Memories so painful I keep them locked away,
And when they show their teeth I can't help but be afraid.
A darkness so deep I try to steer clear,
But when I step in oh the voices I hear.
Voices so loud they drown themselves out,
And I know once I listen I'll be too gone to shout.

The Court, they report,
Will be coming up short
When Kennedy leaves
(Plans nobody can thwart).

We’ll see who will be
Chosen as nominee,
Surely someone divisive,
I can guarantee.

The fears that appear
From the left will steer clear
Of conservatives’ hopes
That the old days draw near.

This split, I submit,
Means we’ll all take a hit
As the country unravels;
A bad time to quit....

Below azures and greys
I readily await
The unexpected or the careless
So blind to their fate

Charts and maps they have drafted
To steer clear of me
But the unexpected or the careless
Are ignorant to the seas

For centuries I have waited
Knowing it's a matter of time
For the unexpected or the careless
Meeting me, they soon will find

Down with pessimism
  Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
  Steer clear of cynicism

Keep far from fanaticism
  It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
  Too stifling, collectivism

Failure dogs perfectionism
  Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
  Stoicism breeds fatalism...

True, this poem is full of criticism
  ~ But it ends on a note of optimism...

Cobwebs cover the window sills
And dust chokes the doors
All is quiet, air stagnant as camera stills
Take heed, steer clear of these shores

On dark nights they shine the beacon
Sound the horn to signal danger
Tarry not, your resolve shall weaken
For its they you should fear, stranger

Dread not the sunken pirate ships
But here’s no safe harbor to dock
The night crew, the Graveyard Crypts
Man the lighthouse on this rock”...

Education is a wonderful thing. 
To the world’s minds, much knowledge it brings.
Hide not behind the walls of despair.
Set your mind free, hide not your wares. 
Pursue with your mind all that you can so that one day the taller you’ll be able to stand. 
Keep your mind focused on reaching your goals. 
Steer clear the obstacles that stand in the road. 
One day the finish will come into view and as you cross over your life is anew....

The wind picks up, the clouds roll in;
A storm, real soon, may yet begin.
The river roils, the birds steer clear,
Confirming that it’s coming near.

And still I sit, as others stroll,
The day still firmly in control.
The forecast may, in fact, be wrong,
As some suspected all along.

The blue’s receding from the sky;
A single boat goes chugging by
And if, indeed, some rain we’ll get,
The worst will be I’ll run home wet....

Let this be my sacrament of lust.
Red dripping flesh I tear with my teeth,
Absorbed by my viscera,
Becoming one with my being,
Merging with my soul.
I am an eater of dead things,
As are we all.
Why should I not indulge my instincts?
I am as I was made,
Not as you would wish.
Simpering vegans, 
Pantywaist abstainers,
Steer clear of my path 
Lest I eat you alive tonight
And you’ll all be defecate by morning.
Na zdravie....
