Ambiguities Poems | Examples

Precipice

Standing on the precipice of fear and awe,
We are creatures in wonder and uncertainty.
We make all our heavens and hells.
This edge of possibility, where we search
uncharted interstellar dimensions,
the wormholes and blackholes 
beyond our comprehension.

Intelligent maker of such things,
If it is evident anywhere,
then, we are surely too small to know.
Does it drift through space like 
an unmoored ghostship or
is it the confluence of 
universal consciousness,
the essence of intention?

Is this universe alone, or 
just a branch of many on a tree?
Are we here by blueprint or 
merely coincidental?
Are we a rough draft, or
Are we an objective?

It is hidden in the rain,
hidden in the particles of pebbles.
Standing on the precipice of fear and awe,
We are actualities in stupefaction on ambiguities.
We fill our voids with heavens and hells.
Yes, we are tireless seekers 
poised on the precipice of the unknowable.

Human Love

Human Love


                 Precious memories obscured by time wander in his head
                 Fragments of a promise vowed to the woman he needed
                 Thoughts subcutaneously flashed minding crucial matter
                 Ordained hearts await to inhabit their dreams thereafter

                 Obstacles stealthily conceal answers from probing minds
                 While confidence reassures veracity measures their finds
                 Determined to detangle blind perceptions tenacity reigns
                 Impending storms can not deter hunger destiny reclaims

                 Anomaly is a toxic burden to ambiguities obfuscating life
                 Ruby denotes confusion emerald suggest free from strife
                 Undying devotion flaming with emotions a curative salve
                 Hands and fingers gently clasped epitomize human love!

Freedoms

One day I'll float away
In post life harmonies
Begin the beguine
A life of spiritual means
Relieved of complexities
Anonymous ambiguities
Retrograde anomalies
Future fraternities
Tied to promised potentials
Gift wrapped in love
Rising above all dimensionals
Shattering all ego intentionals
To places of divine existentials
Peace be you.

Ambiguities

Life is full of ambiguities
Nothing under the sun is for certain in this life
In this world, humanity struggles
We’re all searching for meaning, certitudes, and what it means to do right

It's traumatic to ponder our impermanence
Some say our days are written in stone
They tell us there's only one thing to do
Get things right, and to pray for our decrepit soul

For our species, ambiguities need closure
Fantastic stories begin to unfold
We’re promised a savior is coming
Therefore no fear in growing old

The ambiguities in life are crippling 
Certitudes we so desperately need
The quality of our life will be contingent
On managing the uncertainty, not creating our own reality

Unquenchable chameleons,
a nebulous point occasions,
mull misfits lacking Ephesians,
when solutions are evasions.

A nebulous point occasions,

Insatiable necessitates,

Ambiguities

“Students make delicious treats for seniors”

What a sacrifice those students are making
It warms the cockles of this old man's heart
Such a sweet and unselfish undertaking


“Teen pregnancies drop off after twenty-five”

Well, I certainly would hope that's the case
That's a dirty big family in any man's language
For the beds, you'd soon run out of space


“Veterinarians take over as panda mating fails”

Okay, now I've got this strange mental picture
It's definitely X-rated if you ask this old guy
I mean really, we should show some respect


“Stiff opposition expected to casket proposal”

It's kind of what you would probably expect
Given the condition of the deceased inside
I mean really, we should show some respect


“Head of African country seeks arms”

Wow! Just a head and a couple of arms
What a weird sight that would turn out to be
Most people would sure be alarmed


“Studies have shown that obesity rubs off”

Well, if that's the case, I'll be a-rubbing
Every day and night till my skin turns raw
Till I get back my happy old zing!

Golden Crown

Golden Crown


          Fingers maneuver as a vanishing sun radiates her solar majesty

          Heartfelt improvisations momentarily suspended adverse reality

          Raging notes racing toward heaven levitating exceedingly faster

          Determined hands hammering insecurities sidestepping disaster


          Weaving inspirational wisdom regenerate such spiritual harmony

          Profound compositions elevate the integrity of human symphony

          Revelations exorcizing ambiguities wearing an incredulous frown

          Conquering all deceptions destiny searches for the Golden Crown

Spiritual Optimism

Spiritual Optimism



       Silenced voices for millennia traverse upon repressed pivotal moments
       Deplorable vow of secrecy resonates amid impregnable embattlements
       Ancient nomads above burning desert sense overwhelming compassion
       Thirst quenched with essential nutrients rejuvenates tenets of past eon


       Primal fear of cosmic unknowns planet in isolation impose concealment
       Incessantly radiating interstellar illumination awaken fireflies iridescent
       Enigmatic passageway to astounding revelation shrouded in symbolism
       Sweep ambiguities away strengthening indefatigable spiritual optimism

Life In Equilibrium

Hushed mystic quests esoteric intellect
As quietude permeates domain of truth
Ruminating about things done and said
Reflecting upon the avenues of regrets
Reminiscing on boulevards of conquests
Tallying up all the triumphs and defeats
Wailing in futility of feats and fantasies.

What has been, cedes to what could be
Beyond pensive boundaries of mortality
Illuminating today in meditative reverie
Transcending the mundane, the ordinary,
The futile worries confused in ambiguities.

Ambitious past now seeks new meaning
As dissonant arguments lose appeals
And wisdom draws from ethereal spirits
And enlightenment ascends satori feelings
Where grief is no longer as dominating
And happiness no longer as demanding--
For material things forfeit their entreaties.

Life in equilibrium of peace and serenity 
Aspires to poise of supreme understanding
Buoying on clout of calmness and clarity,
No longer stirring what could have been
Seeing everyday as the essence of being
In eternal halo of a cognitive awakening.

Stone Secrets

There is a wall of stone erected in the woods
Where no one ever sees, only those who journey
Across the graveyard which borders it’s edges
Coloring the world in hues of passionate prose
Flavoring the site with spices of sweet scented cloves
Which beckon to our hearts from flowing rivers
Of sentiments which reveal the passionate joys
And mysteries discovered there across the branches
Where trees embrace the light with leaves which
Reach high above the limbs they grace with a fervent
Urgency, longing to touch the skies so bright and alive
With feelings of appreciation for the mystery of a wall
So vividly portrayed in the pines and beech trees
Where only God knows this stone structure’s secrets
And leaves us all wondering at the hues and harmonies
Discovered just beneath the surface of such ambiguities

God Mode

            I'm now in god mode

       Explanation, if you will

   That I have the power

 To give life or take it

We all do, in our way

 Aside, only one force

   That transcends time

       I will love you forever

            Not one ... second ... more.





(This is NOT religious statement of any kind, it is about the emotional power
 some people hold over others, and the ambiguities of the only thing that
 refutes it).

The Time Has Come

The time has come
to generate the retrospective
ambiguities etched in stone
perplexing to the underside
of the recriminations
sliding to the conservative right

The dance goes on
skittering and sliding
along shiny glass floors
powered by locomotive
puffing into clouds,
you gaze into space

Dreams of a more envious
pastoral speckle intuitions
of a well developed humanoid.
Beyond your wildest expectations
the illusion goes on
spitting, sputtering

in a steadfast manner
driven buy imperfections
of days gone bye.
You long for the resurrection
to circumcise possibilities
of a shaft driven turbo

turning to and fro
stifling transgressions
into a tumultuous radiance
blinding to the monstrous
aftermath of an illustrious
stiletto heal.

If

If
you
must die
a solemn
death, image the life
that you portray without fanfare.
Life rich with ambiguities
portends a challenge
what is true
knowing
you
lie.

Poetic License

Pure Frustration
If I could not
Kiss you with my sonnets
Explain you symbolically
Or say  “I love you”
In metaphorical ambiguities

Like Braille, I’ve felt tipped over you
With my flair
For words

My paper is kodachrome canvas
And in a split second thought
I’ve blown up a verbose
Enlargement of your essence

Blessed am I
Above all lonely women in love
I can illuminate with alliteration 
And say
Marvelous, money hungry, miserly, macho man
You’re missing

I can, at anytime
Anyplace
Make out in meters
And when it comes to it
Write down, whatever
Fast, faster, fastest, forever
And sleep.

This was my first poem on PS.  It was written in 1976 and revised prior to submission. I was young, in love and wrote free verse much more then but now I feel the need to rhyme everything in a sense of completeness.

Dissolve

Dissolve

Mother sits by the window
After freeing herself from her household chores.
Fresh and peaceful
She is all by herself.
She looks out at the clear blue sky
Enjoying the streaks of sunlight dancing at her feet.

She picks up her favourite wooden needles
Working them in and out,
Warping in love and and woofing out 
Cabled patterns on father's wintry scarf.
A silent smile round the corner of her berry lips,
As she prides over her familial love.

It is Her time, for Her very own being,
A time to disconnect 
From all entanglements of life.
Past adjustments, the present solutions, future ambitions,
Zoom past in a flash, and
Dissolve.
And then the mind goes blank
Into a state of nothingness-
No thoughts, no desires no regrets.

The prattle and gurgle on the wooden staircase,
Wake her out of her reverie.
She jumps to her feet,
With electrifying speed
Puts her knitting back into her cashmere bag,
Runs to unbolt the front door, finding
Two smiling elfins with upturned faces, outstretched hands,
Going down till their amorous eyes, holds one in each arm, and
All ambiguities dissolve.
