Best Bemusing Poems


Premium Member A Kept Woman
Dream-worker 
delves deeply into my dream;

vibrations fondle anticipation
foreplay wakes wide-eyed 
swells of liquid libido quake the rendezvous edge -
a primordial being in his prime
a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body 
c h a s e d 
around circular seasons 
across sky-cycles of solstice...

The Prodigal Son!?
And then I took this box of blight, and cast it into the sea of forgetfulness

Once I had finally realized, that it had become a Pandora unto myself....

A portal of passage towards darkness' infiltering of my heart

To oppress and repress, within these guises of its...

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance
The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance

It’s funny how perceived intelligence 
Is not necessarily a measure of true smarts 
How the genius, the barrister and the eloquent 
Can miss the point from the very start 

It’s quite bemusing to observe her lack of self-awareness
And confusing...

I AM as I AM, free & formless in a domain timeless
In, as & one with & within the sea of Oneness
Dissolved and yet in as ordained, distinct 
Pure love awareness in a boundaryless precinct

In, within and in yet as by Oneness ordained 
The beingness...

An Adverse World Uncurled
“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I was no more, but the clock still chimes
 
Yeah, I’m...

Our Hero
A little piece I wrote for Flips Funeral
 There is an interlude to the beginning
 But the present has now passed
 As I record this passage
 Of a hero to the last
 So I beat a hasty path
 On my outward journey


 Two hours I...

A Dead Rose
A calm hue shed 
the morning light
into confetti strewn,
across my path snubbed by my eyes
bemusing passers by.

My waking thoughts were doused in you
for heartache plagued this land.
A single rose bestowed on me,
I clenched dead in my hand. 

When morning broke in melody,
I strained to hear...

Seeing My Youth
He comes again this year
With him my buried relatives
I welcome them with warm feelings
All day everyday for a month or more
Uncertain confusing it will be pretty bemusing

I see it everyday now
Video Game Consoles
Dress ups for parties
Christmas amusement parks
first love

Easily calling today
Nostalgia gnawing
Im choked up in...

Premium Member Transient
Like a transient thought
You entered my dialogue
Seeking to become
Discourse of my mind

Confusing my words
You tampered response
Bemusing my mood
Feigning what love was

Until reality grasped
A fraudulent trespass
Holding firmly at bay
Faux vision of romance

Yet, our rendezvous
Was willingly allowed--
Lascivious to assuage
Exotic wish of the heart

Premium Member Understood
"Understood"




My feet stand solemn
grounded they're barefoot 
sinking in the undertow,
feeling what’s real

my toes grip the past

while the slow words 
wash it irrevocably away 
the ego sashays
and hangs that Faust in the wardrobe

Locks it away
turns the key
I put it on my tongue
swallow the meaning of that,...

In Honor of George Michael
Voice like velvet
 Positivity defined
 Optimistic nature
 Enchanting, sweet and kind
 
An image that's seductive
 Rebellion at its core
 An influence that's constructive
 Charisma that opens doors
 
A persona that's gargantuan
 A force to be reckoned with
 A soul who's enigmatic
 In this plane did...

Old Jet
Day was very sunny,
Old Jet felt so funny,
Old black lab, muzzle grey,
His family off to work today,
Old Jet lay down to sleep,
Left alone, watchdog to keep,
His gait was slow,
Not much get up and go,
Jet slumbered on, 
Not too long, 
His canine dreams bemusing,
Flashbacks Old Jet...

Premium Member Uncivil Discourse
I find it bemusing;
The sentiments some are choosing;
The language they are using;

When communicating their dissatisfaction,
With opposing political factions,
Whose personal appeal they find lacking.

So, I ask this my friends!
Examine what you say and pen.

Would you like this said of you?
Does it matter YOU believe it’s due?

A Poem Written On My Birthday
Young Love I Envy Not

Young love I envy not:
Bemusing time
Of upset hearts
And inept kisses
When lofty dreams
With passion zoom
Through twists and turns
And dead-end chases—

No, I prefer my love mature,
In marriage steady,
Two hearts content,
When each brief kiss
Renews a vow
And each sly glance
Stirs memories
Of young bemusing love.


Birthday: November...

Black Eyes
Bemusing beauty of black eyes
As they stare into the silent soul
No need for needless words
As lusty love lovingly makes
Honest hearts hopelessly happy...
