Ambiguous

I tried to pay attention to the teacher.
I saw him looking if I see, 
why do I still know when he tries to hide someting?
Or doing something, that could leave me unsure?
From the side of my eye, I saw him throwing a little paper ball in her hair.
I reached out for her pullover, to let

Ambiguous Domestic Abuse

Ambiguous Domestic Abuse.

The hall mirror, has gone.
It was my cage door!
My daily changing reflection
side glanced swift as
an un-robed ghost  i begin again,
last step stairs sitting,
stareing unblinked, eyeliner floods 
cloud my slited vision, blurred
and faint pulsed, but no pain. 
Stagnant the visionless mourning morning 
it does not move, and 
if you are awake, neither do

Ambiguous Observations

Do you see many snacks on the counter?

Perhaps the homeowner eats many,
and the snacks you see were set out yesterday
to be gone tomorrow.

Perhaps the homeowner does not eat them at all,
and the snacks you see were a gift,
or an ill-considered purchase.

We will always judge,
but let us not be too hasty in our conclusions.

Premium MemberAmbiguous Ambition

Ambition is a driving force,
Admirable in many ways,
That's only, of course
If nobody else has to pay

Ambition can help you prosper,
And live life to the full
Ideas that you had fostered
Start to become fruitful.

People look up up you,
Admire your "get up and go."
Some may envy your success,
Others think you are on show.

He has always been ambitious,
Reaching for

Ambiguous Death - Poem 01

I am breathing? am I breathing?
       my corpse thinks so laying somewhere;
              if there is life, I can't decide-
       and of my death, no one takes care

if I'm dead, why

Premium MemberLove Is Ambiguous

Knowing how to explain love would make me a wealthy billionaire. 
I have so many ideas, but they are mine, and maybe no one else’s.
If I am lucky, we might share a couple of theories, but love is so ambiguous.
A term that means so many different things to so many.
To me love is a puppy,

Ambiguous Loss

Ambiguous Loss**
(a paradox of presence and absence )
(coined by researcher educationist Pauline Boss)


You disappeared.. without a last goodbye   
a story ends incomplete, holding on to hope
beneath frozen tears, an ambiguous sigh
an uncertain mystery, tell me how to cope.

a story ends incomplete , holding on to hope 
you are dead or still alive, an

Trees will drop leaves when deciduous,
And if Trump he tries to be ambiguous;
Feeling crappy,
Wearing nappy;
Being an idiot with has been contiguous.

Oath Most Ambiguous


Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth ...
Nothing but the truth?

Yes, possibly
Probably
Maybe
Perhaps

A liar’s truth 
is always questionable at best
At worst, very ambiguous

Their philosophical truth salad
is tossed blue in the gray
Your foggy evening twilight
is their misty dawn day

A liar’s truth
is always ambiguous at best
At worst, a needed lie detector test

This Ambiguous State

Through a veil of gossamer obscurity.
Passing thoughts in chaotic chorus diminishing the ordered regime.
No place for the  mundane to dwell.
Who sees it? Who knows it?
Who lives through the manic,hypomanic and the depressive?
Each dawning brings  a new perspective seen through bevelled glass,
but changeable, within a hairs breath to the opposing view.
Colours that invade the
