Best Complicated Poems


Life Is Not That Complicated.

Life is so short and grand, 
to time, we are one grain of sand. 
In our lives we carry around so much pressure, 
this is our one shot, so read this as a refresher. 

Your name will not ring out in history or space, 
one day everything will end, even the human race. 
So why sit down and let another make you cry?
Tell them to kiss you right above your thigh.  

When a person walks past you and smiles, 
mirror it and the chain reaction continues for miles. 
If you see someone uncomfortable and out of place, 
go talk to them, because you will forever be in their grace. 

This life isn't too hard to figure out, 
being nice is what its all about. 
There is so much out there to hurt and make you grieve, 
I'm letting you know its alright to enjoy life, sit back and just breathe. 

10, 20, 30, or 40 years from now on your death bed, 
what are the things that will be going through your head?
If you don't like what you see, not one bit, 
guess what, its not too late, so go ahead and change it.  

I can't tell you what to do, or how to act, 
but everyone can do it, that is a fact. 
Tomorrow when you wake up, do what you see fit, 
remember this and in life, a home run you will hit.

Why do we make things 
so complicated?Falling
for someone is a gift.Will 
your heart get broken?
maybe so but don't let 
that stop you.In time 
your broken heart will 
heal.We live in a im-
perfect world with im-
perfect people.Life is a 
beautiful dance we may 
slip and fall but we get
back up.For a chance 
to experience love I don't 
mind the bumps in the
road that may come along 
the way.I dare you to be bold
and not worry about the fear
of the unknown(heartache 
and fear).And say whatever 
happens will happen. Because
life's too short to think about 
what could have beens.

Complicated Love

It's as if every time i take 2 step forward,
You always make me take 5 steps backward.
You're on my mind all the time,
But am i on yours?
I miss you so much,
But do you miss me?
I'm crazy about you,
But do you even see it?

Sometimes, sitting here,
I feel tears rolling down my cheeks,
Just the thought of you,
Makes my heart melt into to two.
But yet, i can't let you out of my head.
I can't go a day without thinking about you,
Or i may go crazy.

Just hoping and praying,
That you'll soon realize that,
I'm going to be here for you, when you need it most,
I'm going to be here for you, through your roughest time,
I'm going to be here for you, when no one else show care,
I'm going to be here for you, because i love you.

Complicated Perfection

She was covered in messy hair
and wore such manic eyes.
Though she was complicated, 
she offered me perfection. 

She knew not self-control
or aided in anything worthwhile, 
but her voice resounded in an
aria of a tune even a Blue Jay
couldn’t comprehend. 

She lived a life on the edge, 
no rhyme to her reason and
no reason for her mistakes. 
Though she was difficult to 
say the least, she was flawless 
in my arms. 

It was clear she inhabited a
perplex mind. Though she was 
intricate to the world, she owned
a simple heart. A woman with 
arduous passion for me.

Complicated Love- From Kishiea Davis

Love can be complicated

Like a disarranged puzzle that is passed by daily

No one bothers to put the broken pieces together

All alone, waiting for that special touch

To embrace each piece with gentleness and care

When that special mind that longs to complete and discover the beautiful image

That no one has yet to bring to fruition

The smile that can be seen through the eyes which sees all the perfect imperfections

Making the puzzle so unique and dope its own way

Far from any other puzzle

Challenges unraveling this particular artwork

The optimistic mind brought to life

Which makes the appreciation last forever

Love

Complicated, yet worth the wait

Complicated Soulmate

We locked eyes
You stared into my soul
We exchange numbers

Wild nights 
Pimp caddy turned out
Humid steamy nights

Memorize on you 
My love screaming
Inside of me

Years later still,
Still come to as one
Your soul give me a rush

Lovers in the parking lot
Chemistry unexplainable 
Can't get over you

Life Is Not Complicated

Softer than snow flurries
                                       Slicker than cigarette smoke
                                       Sizzling than bouncy bubbles in an open soda can
                                       Ticklish like a patient soul after a rouch day
                                        Sweeter like a loving tongue 
                                        Curious like a dog's muzzle sniffing and living
                                        Foggy like a neglected sleep
                                        Love like cold and grey
                                        Introverted like a deck of cards
Playdough like mud, like words in poetry, like soles and souls of poetry.

The Complicated World

The Complicated World

The world has become so complicated
People never talk to people
Electronics do the talking for us
Our phones take away private time
We are never truly alone
Cars tell us where to go
And what we should see on the way
Newspapers aren’t made of paper
Delivered through the air to our screens
The same with books
Turning the page just isn’t cool anymore
200+ channels to make everyone a star
Even if you do not have talent to will be an idol
Concerts and sports are televised 
So you don’t have to leave the house
God forbid you gather together with other people
The kids are called to dinner by email
Bullying doesn’t take place on the schoolyard
Even surgeries are done by doctors a thousand miles away
Everything is done without seeing the other person
When will the day come when things will get worse
People will completely forget how to talk to each other
It will be hard to remember what another human being looks like
Babies will be conceived through a website
And even a child’s rattle with be computerized
Whatever happened to the good old days
When people got to meet other people
Eat together or share a beer together
Even fight together
Without something telling them what to do
Or talking for them
This world is confusing
I pray for a return to the good old days
When a calculator was the only computer I owned
And I looked people in the eyes and said hello

Premium Member A Complicated Vision

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.

In a drowsy hypnagogic state, I see thee far away, 
A dazzling, delightful, divine ethereal spirit
Drifting in the vastness of amaranthine space
Beckoning toward patches of divergent hues.

I discover sublime elation at the scene, 
Impossible to restrain and slowly I open my manuscript
Write all that I can see, visions impossible to discern.
Why could I never capture the aesthetic beauty before me?

My yearning overtakes my aspirations to capture
The quintessence of such elusive diaphanous beauty 
Till I wake, look around, feel sweat of ephemeral queasiness,
Read my endeavours in a language I could not discern.

Life Is Complicated

I claim the sensation,
of total relaxation,
with such amount of patients,
of letting go.

I would relate,
an regenerate,
an communicate,
an dedicate,
in the laws of living.

The world of insanity,
the world of the greedy,
don't complain,
just drain the all out expense
an bring out your common sense.
When there is violence, there is peace,
and where there is failure,
there is dedication an glory.

The strong feeds on the weak,
yet the weak would become the strong,
life is living even if it's complicated,
power is not immortal,
it's like us humans,
it's all limited,
when that sense of greed push us back to the wall,
that is when we have our wake up call.

Complicated Simplicity

She’s fighting me all the way.
She won’t hear it.
It’s a definite detriment, 
to the spirit.

Perhaps it’s the way 
I’m presenting it,
She wastes our time,
just resenting it.

The Lord somehow
Has me in training,
and uses these heartaches,
for explaining.

“There, there now,
  My little fool,
  It’s so simple,
  My Golden Rule.”

Complicated Moons

they hid lies behind complicated moons,
'til constellations turned to dust
& the sun vehemently objected,
interceding on truth's behalf
the earth did not split apart,
merely splintered every
 tiny fragment of trust

Footballs Complicated

>Whoever said football was complicated!!!

Whoever said football was complicated!!!
Was oh so clever, you see.
As when a football team,
is scoring winning goals.
Their fans are full of glee.

But if that same team another game.
Do not play so well.
Or get that football in the net.
That’s when it gets complicated.
And those self- same football fans are upset.

No kind words, do they offer.
As they rant and roam.
Making their way slowly,
out of the football ground and home.

Next week their spirits will be high.
On boozing beer, I do not lie.
So if the football team lose the match that day.
The fans can leave miserably happy I say.

And that’s why football is complicated.
Oh, I guess it was me, who did that say.
Football’s complicated!!! 
Clever old man I am today<
