Best Absurdity Poems

While waiting for my brainy date
My ignorant friend cried "Oh great!
Now everybody's dead!"
He so absurdly said,
Upon seeing Hamlet did berate....

Absurdity 

Behind the closed portal and the open door,
stands the lonely legless man with his paramour.
He is singing silently
in the peace of night violently
a nocturnal sunrise
of miserly giving called nameless
absurdity.

With the stroke of midnight and the bells of high noon,
is the sunless side of a...

I see the wind blowing my hair past my face
But I cannot feel it's caress upon my cheek.
I hear the oceans echoing whisper as it rushes towards the shore
But I cannot see it's dark blue waters
I feel the sun planting light kisses upon my skin
But...

Will we soon do away with all our currency
The way things are going it's almost a certainty
Debit cards have taken over
What happens playing poker
Do they throw in their debit cards, the heights of absurdity

Having dinner in the city of Paris
They talked about big things

David had plans to run for the state Judiciary
So he discussed it with William Geris, He said
Go ahead David, for me that will be...

Coz of love
	I risk my life to save a life
Cos of love
	I became a fool for the fool
Coz of love
I denied myself the only bread that makes me survive only to see a soul
Survive

Love is a reality of absurdity

Coz of love
	I became poor for a...

When I close my eyes shut, each time.
Of what I mean to you I think, every time.
How I was spellbound having seen you, I remember.
How I never ran out of the words, which to you admire.
Bonded were we by a cord of friendship.
Solemnly I swear,...

LAUGHTER, ABSURDITY, YOUR ABSENCE 

In my despair I asked the clairvoyant old woman
will you bring the sky to cheer me up?
She answered, “I can’t, the sky is already around you.”
I never knew the sky was around me.

Swans flying in pairs don’t feel lonely 
Doves mating...

The rhythm of life
The harmony that is
Upset only by human intervention
Destroyed by ego

The greed I see
Creativity masked by superficiality
Artificial appearance
Shallow experience

Existential absurdity
Waiting for something
When there is nothing
The side effect of life is death

This moment is all there is
The eternal moment
No beginning no end
Just is or...

You claim I am equal to you, and you to me
    Are you blind as a bat? Can't you see?
  You're a man from your head to your toe
    I'm a girl, now a woman, from the very...

we are actors

arguing in 
plotless movies

performing within
disconnected realities

muddling through
absurd battles

hoping for 
direction

striving to
make sense
of our roles

in a

Cinema 
of the

In borrowed plumes
a masquerade we stage.
Thoughts echo doctrines 
passions are preordained.
From broken families 
where fractured spirits weep
Mothers of soulful sorrow 
With eyes that never sleep.

We inherit canvases 
pre-primed with societal skews.
But the brush trembles in our hand 
Praying for a different magical muse.

Why is contentment...

This page is intentionally left blank.
It is intentional, 
a deliberate attempt act of obscurity.
These are the words you are not reading.
These words do not exist.
Their appearance exists nowhere,
They are ghostly and untouchable.
They are empty invisible vessels,
Voids, absent content.

Your brain is intentionally left blank.
You only think...

She left the tent in holy fervor,
Hell-bent to spread the Word.
The Spirit moved and made her quiver;
No act of faith was too absurd.

She knocked on doors, she spoke with zeal,
Her faith she shared in earnest.
There was no doubt God’s love is real:
His justice is the...
