Best Complication Poems
In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
Words flow like rivers kissing mouths of the sea,
where an aubade of dawn creates waves of serenity.
In the purity of silence, I hear the heartbeat of nature,
a tranquil symphonic percussion of harmonic breaths.
A veneer of coolness refreshes my sensitive skin,
as my persona resembles a semblance of peace.
Positive thoughts create a carnival of colours,
as neon crayons illuminate the canvas of my life.
I am content in being lost in ripples of Earth's lullabies,
as life is a balance between rainy days and sunny horizons.
Today, footfalls of autumn acorns annoy like wayward winter winds,
but I know tomorrow, lavender spring air will bring rows of tulips.

"in the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories;
above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind"
quiescent sentiments encompass,
bestowing sonorous serendipity-
susurrations resounding in light,
dusk left rhapsodic; dawn, a vestige of harmony
left b r e a t h l e s s by beautiful balance,
essence of dulcet moments rescued me-
resplendent radiance of magical resonance;
fearing not what lies ahead
but
walking toward mellifluous fields,
chartreuse blades blooming on maple trees…
as i am left whispering hope in the breeze
a myriad of emotions crowded my intellect,
now i am soft spoken and relieved-
aromatic autumn air alleviates my anguish,
for seasons change-
and so did i
in the absence of complication, i worry not-
for time is on my side and i am forever freed
from the cynical soul i used to wear like silk,
feeding off what could have been-
(might have been)
life has bestowed pain-
but
all the hardships of trials and tribulations are
distant memories i shan't forget-
for they brought closure,
and
i am forever bound to a grateful heart

You ever wondered why
You chose the person who doesn’t care?
The person who has a propensity
To struggle with showing affection
You ever wished you could love the ones
That wants to be your world
The one who would make you their world
Why is it that you want time?
From the only person that doesn’t have any?
From the person who has so many other priorities?
Who would never make you their priority?
It’s like making them your first choice,
While you are just an option in theirs
Meanwhile right in front of you
You have a gem,
That might not be what you think you need
In the meantime they are exactly what you require
Sometimes we spend too much time on wishful thinking
Instead of embracing the obvious
Only because you look for complicated
When you can get uncomplicated
Coupled with that sense of being treasured
Being a priority
Why do you continue to chase complicated?

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
When life contains no difficulty, golden days
feather float soft perspectives thru freedom airs.
No stress settings shrill chaotic alarms -
releasing my tensions to joy's whispered peace.

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
Orange-gold trickles from those sapphire skies alight on my warm freckled skin.
I bask in saffron deliciousness, mind-lapping this moment of utter simplicity.
Inside the mindfulness of my chrysalis, I relish a metamorphosis
to new-found freedom’s sweetness
which flits away agony and woes on butterfly wings.
Did I release the pain, or did the pain release me?
It matters not; I stay quiet writing -
for now – a blissful sunflower following the sun

COMPLICATED COMPLICATION
The complicated complication is so serious; I know you are curious!
This is so interesting it can’t be found tedious
Solomon is wise; the fool says he is a nerd
Wisdom is not relevant; let’s feed it to the bird
Oh! This is ridiculous; the pawn slaps the king a checkmate
This secret is confidential let thy mouth not menstruate.
Slept in silent homage to the creatures of the night
Oh! This is a mosquito bite but nobody gives a fight
Death got its own life on the edge holds the cliff tight
Sister is biased; she fell out with her childhood clique
To her, mother told friends are not just meant to pick
It hurts when it comes to pride; she left in a fit of pique.
Could it be the poor are so rich to call the rich complete destitute?
It’s so funny; he seeks to make a virgin out of a prostitute
The future is born; put the past in the glass casket
The tank is full; put the rest of the water in the basket
It’s absurd; the eagle can’t see clearly in such a panic
Could it be God and his angels are on a trip to hell for a picnic?
What else can be complicated than this complication?

Here am I blissfully triumphant
grateful to the sovereign God for life eternal
secured by His compassion’s assurance
anchoring my faith to please Christ, delighting in His person.
Midst revived spirit, my heart exalts the Saviour
Who rescued me from sin’s quagmire
extricating my soul against condemnation verdict
toward adoration’s worship** … awed by His divine magnificence.
Freed from guilt’s distress, I’m restored
enabled by my Lord to serve Him willingly
reaching-out through His ministering hands
to be a blessing by His grace.
Casting my burdens to the Almighty
I find sweet solace in His presence
as He communes with me in prayer haven
sealing my devotion by His divine favor.
Smitten from arrogance fatal grip
yielded am I to my Master’s empowerment
upheld, vanquished against selfishness dominance
while nestling in His intimate fellowship’s warmth.
*First four lines are from Silent One
**Psalm 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness…

A pastor a speech a warm of a tea
A lonely night ten for a cheer
A break of ladder a tree for green
A lost of faith a hype of a bee
A coin a flip shift of wind
A thieve words of belief
A come a leaver a door open
A witness come a belief
A night a fairy shield the will
A home start of kin
A question leave for a storm.

IN ABSENCE OF COMPLICATION
In the absence of complication
trials and tribunals become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes
inspiring forthcoming musing of mind.
Granting journey of life easy and smooth,
apprehending bright future welcoming,
seeming success awaiting ahead sent from favorable fate.
expecting downfall or defeat to eradicate absolute.
Confidence soaring high and higher.
Yet doubt and confusion!
Over-expectation may not invite blunder or frustration!
Life is not a fragrant flower bed
Rather to apprise in brief:
Life is blended with joy and grief
showering simultaneous on us
It’s not wise to surrender solely, anticipating flow of fervent fortune.
Zeal and zest aspiring to sail to explore boundless sea.
Troubles, hurdles even reappear, good to be fearless.
Better to ignore and delete the three terms ‘If’, ‘perhaps’, ‘but’.
When shore is unreachable, best to settle on abyss.

Why, had the circumstances been not so
You would have listened to my frail voice
As it strives to step on life's pebbles
Merely to cross the river willed to us by God!
Pray, you would have yourself asked me
To recount to you of the many insights
That the skies bestow upon me,
Merely because your heart feels alive
Only when connected it is to the mysticism
That surrounds our bond!
More, you would have believed in me
Desiring me with the strength of an earthquake
Seeking solely to see my ocean bed flood
Ravaging lands and killing life
Merely to show to the rest of the cosmos
Of how moving me remains your sole duty!
Had there been not so many complications between us
You would have been the gorges
Ready to swallow my flooding waters
Merely to calm the unease that flows in me!
I remain mere woman
And in my gaze,
You remain my God,
Willed to me through the whispers of the skies
In the depths of the night!
Without you, the consciousness inhabiting me
Will turn into dust,
Easily blown off by gales and typhoons
While yours would roam around,
Hurt and angry at yourself
For having failed to believe that life on Earth
Could be imbibed with the sparks of the divine!
The complications are merely due to misunderstandings
And maybe to a bad timing,
Pray, simplify them:
Lower your swords, speak to me, listen to me,
Make of me your main concern,
Love me, forgive me and embrace me!
See the truth in my meaning
Understand that complications are merely ploys
Of the darkness surrounding us,
Seeking solely to foil God's plans!
My eyes seek to see their reflections in yours
When after whispering of my poetry to your soul
You shall lay, spent and worn
Wanting me to indulge in more of my art
Merely to please you!
In the absence of complication,
My hand would be yours to rule
My heart, yours to cherish
And my soul, yours to inspire!
In the absence of complication,
You would accept the position of God
That I give to you,
Wanting to see me snarl at the rest of the world
But,
Becoming all servile and submissive to you!

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
All the pain and sorrow now in the past,
Keeping the heart alive with confidence.
Where there once was self-destruction –
There is a feeling of pure elation, elevation.
Sunlight softens the lines of worry and anxiety,
Creating instead glittering reflections in mirrors.
Even the rain, falling softly against the window –
Encourages the heart to feel assured and well.
The seasons blend, one into another, soothing,
Capturing the heart with a purity and tenderness.
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter combined –
Creating scenes for the spirit to discover warmth.
Without looking back at the past’s mistakes,
There is a welcoming opportunity to do good things.
With no reason or theme, there is hope and faith –
Love that is without conditions or judgement.

Sometimes life is very complicated ,
Living with good and bad people ,
it is so complicated.
Living like an Ireland,
it is so complicated.
Living with some good people who don't
understand you ,it is so complicated.
Living to please some people who hate
and love you , it is so complicated.
Living to change some stubborn people,
It is so complicated.
Living among some disciminators, tribalists ,haters ,
xenophobics, antagonists ,It is very complicated.
Living without knowing your last day on earth ,
it is very complicated.

Through empty silence soft repose;
In the absence of complication,
our phantom voices haunt the breadth end;
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
lie sleepless, a hum sings in our waking head,
muckle words unlock, branch, and root
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
