Best Cryptic Poems

Clumsily tripping, over our own feet
Sometimes, minds aren't meant to meet
perhaps we're off just a micro beat
thoughts obscured, behind glass covered in sleet

Sure there are those, who wish to exploit
but really in the end, what's the point?
We're all merely visitors, in this joint
Trying our best,...

Cryptic language with words that hide;
Secret message in ancient tides;
Mine the passage in mystic ride.


Linger a while on textures tough;
Thought waves that style beyond the rough;
An inner guile with pregnant stuff.


Heart within mind in pulse and urge;
Address ***** finds in sag and surge;
Go beyond kind...

Cryptic notes on dirt stained walls 
She gets to read the beating of your heart 
Instead of feeling it  
The distant cry of unrequited love 
So loud 
We heard it on the other side of town 

You wore it on your sleeve
Proudly displayed 
Never...

I always reckoned my butcher was batty,
With cryptic comments when he got chatty,
I was shaking my head,
when, with his wife he said,
I would like all of you to... meet Patty....

- i've been crawling across this path
wondering which breath will be my last
erasing the memories of my past
-making new ones every day
to replace those that go as they may
-input & output, out of my control
and i'm right back in this hole
whatever. let's just smoke a...

Cryptic contours charade,
Rousing riverfront raid;
Young yonder years yielding,
Prosperous peace prancing;
Taunting tale telling trite,
Icon imprints invite,
Clever casting charm cites...


Minds merge mingling motives,
Embalm emergent edge;
Rising riches restive,
Lofty lion-maned ledge;
Instruct inbound inklings,
Outline obvious oozing,
Niche nice new nurturing...


Fancy fish-tail flings flair,
Age aligns apt affairs;
Sense survival seeking,
Hope's hasty hurts hurling;
Intent...

Prime pretty play
Dream deeper day


Live laughter loud
Prune preachy proud


See silly stay
Pick poignant pay


Love lines loiter
Mind moves matter


Verse vivid voice
Charm creates choice


Shrewd style speaks sound
Grace grows grand grounds


Mystic mind moves
Gracious gifts groove


Cryptic calm croons
Beauty brings boon


Gain groovy grip
Time tickles trip


Wise wonder works
***** question quirks


Ask apt aura
Feel...

The shadows whispering
In the silence I now sing
Hold me to their flames
The only comfort in this lasting pain

The words that can’t convey
The screaming in this place
Are love notes for the void
The only home left as I’m destroyed

Darkness in the light
Glowing in the night
Eyes that hold...

Frozen in stone a lion kneels in a sandbox built for four,
Guarding a gate to the galaxy which breathes beneath the floor.

Nearly thirty degrees north and thirty-one east,
On a map should your finger prick,
Shall be where one may find this beast,
Whose dry tongue gives a...

You may not tend to believe me 
Perhaps you’ll start to suddenly
Put your logic up on a shelf
Open your mind and let yourself
See things you never dared to see

The year here was 1901
An unknown battle had begun
No news on any TV show
Or Orson on the...

International terrorists in a figurative sense and growing numb to this slaughter...
Bewitched they believe that there is no god aside thee ? Fixations, fashioned figurines 
Chanting off with their heads the middle class row his Cu Clux Plan from her Southern poll ?
Shouting someone get...

Void in dark spheres
Vileness draws near


Evil stakes breed
Madness sows seeds


Cryptic the vile
Watch harshness pile


Grim dread walks rounds
Feel fear stain ground


Plain sight fails now
Evil endows


One by one drowned
Bury the clowns


Good turns ugly
Vileness strikes free


Now run away
Fight not this day

Cryptic and puzzling 
Hard to understand 
No one could figure it out 
Nor did they have a plan 
What we have here 
Is a mystery 
Nothing but dark clouds 
Filled with ambiguity...

In the corner there...
Under the defused lights,
With spectral highlight’s here, 
There, they float near and afar.
An apple sits in its technicolor glory, 
It's not fully red or crimson or scarlet 
Greens of sage and emerald 
Dances in its hues, 
Corruption is setting in as time...
