Best Enigmatically Poems
She broke my heart instantly
She made me stare reverently
Her smile was enigmatically
Serene yet sad, so strange to see
Not a word did she speak to me
No attention did she seek from me
She just sat there smiling quietly
And her smile just kept on haunting me
What's Behind a Smile?
When I stood up she turned her head
Once more that smile filled me with dread
Had she understood anything I’d said?
Ethereal beauty, were you alive or dead?
As I stepped down from the train
I turned and looked. My chest in pain.
The shock at seeing her again
Smiling at me through the window pane
I walked away - my nerves drawn tight
As the train sped off in the station’s light
I stared again - I had no fight
She caught my eye and smiled outright!
Time’s now passed; still clear I see
Her short blonde hair bobbing so gently
Her bright blue eyes smiling benignly
Piercing straight through my soul to me.

Verse
She was half past metrical
quarter nonsensical theatrics,
bordered south of burbled oddities,
fashioned herself enigmatically stated
whorling an overly zealous lexicon,
recklessly aimed for macrocosmos
bust a rhyme on defeated asphalt,
whereupon she never ceased to
waver from gumption's potential
'tween vast illusions of poetry
“The writer must believe that what he is
doing is the most important thing in the
world. And he must hold to this illusion
even when he knows it is not true.”
John Steinbeck

A mystery
is an enigmatically suspenseful adventure
where darkness holds answers
but can only be obtained
if the detective wears courage

Sumptuous feasts enchanted float on by,
as I peer into an opulent expanse,
garnet clad entrance aglow,
imagine august beauty at its mise en scène peak,
ingress to celestial nirvana’s Laurel-ridden charm,
iridescent veil of cirrus nebula,
window blind ephemeral in situ,
rapid inkling’s meteoric shower,
harvest for the milk and honey bard,
goes beyond elysium horizons,
flight of fancy totem, utter breathless oath,
unearthly surreal lustrous cache,
burst of universal zenith trumpeting,
exalted plot as moonbeam step stair,
just imagine for a spell psalmodic Meccas,
to a hue-laden whirlpool vortex,
that sequesters sun-drenched harbours,
gurgling stream meanders, moss-fleck tides,
mesmerizing shroud of lambent bayou,
hazy plume on silver waterfall,
scarab mountain chain at sapphire dawn,
whose jewel-rich seams glisten enigmatically,
indigo blue species, bold passerine upsweep,
wayfarer halcyon Xanadu bound,
urban forest blackcap’s luscious throb,
snowbird glee club ear chant for
sprightly day-peep first rank,
amber leaf cascade a sequined duvet on barren playground,
rainbow eucalyptus but a foil for sylvan zephyr,
crystal ball elixir knows no quench or glut,
imagine life eternal in my wonder world cocoon

Hades
Death I saw passing by my neighborhood the other day
Some souls to harvest
Intrigued by his austere appearance I approached him and asked:
"Why oh you mighty, Hades, we mortals terrified are at your presence?"
"Because of your ignorance", He enigmatically replied.

Somehow, We've been everywhere together
Place us against a back drop
Superimpose us and we'll smile
A perfect fit and sun-shined
against the sleeping moon
Somehow, We are invincible now
Hold the quiet in our hands
Break a breath in photographs
A silent testimony
Enigmatically in tune.

The wise I asked:
"How could I, my life, ever be able to enrich?"
"If your desires, ready are you, to minimize
And
The greed from your heart, willing are you to uproot
Then
Riches beyond your wildest dreams, your heart
May realize. " he enigmatically replied!

The tangerine sun has set in the western skies
revealing to existence her maternal intuition.
The eventide ascends before earth’s worn eyes
leaving a silhouette of an artisan’s rendition.
Mother Nature bows down to submission,
she has been completely sagacious and wise.
The twilit moon shines in the depths of obscurity,
his finishing touch of nightfall holds a dim shadow.
The falling stardust shines in simplistic purity
as the constellations glorify their brilliant glow.
For dusk knows things that no man could know
holding onto all things of assurance and security.
All the clouds are enigmatically full of divination,
unfathomable to the core of the curious mind.
Romance from goodbye kisses bring elation,
for the closing of the night has been so kind.
It is time to put the woes of the days behind,
and say goodnight to God’s beautiful creation.

A shinny light shone on the horizon
a lofty height further from the forensic
from the loins of wisdom...
wisdom from his loins..begetting mega-wisdom (s)
daddy,my buddy.
my "paddy"...my "caddy"
my confidant..my confidence
the penchant...the fence
my inclination...my adoration
my guide...my guard
man with seven lives,
mum in heaven smiles,
“his fertile effervescent mind”
his fatherly ever - present bind
the simplicity of his complexity
the intricacy of his sagacity
magnanimity exemplified,
hospitality embodified
enigmatically dogged,
sub - urban rugged.
undauntedly courageous..
conscientiously religious
indefatigable hustler.
easily understandable teacher
the earthen raged
you damned the bellows
tactically concealing the hidden page
you squeezed in to the hollow
glad you didn't listen
look at what we would be missing
we might have taken the long way
you always knew we'll get there someday
...Daddy, age with grace!
happy birthday.

Still, amid it all, the echo of your words

There was always a rumble in the house

There is no one else here except myself.

Echo—fun.
However, its echoes anticipate further
Echo—together.

In an uncertain boat of dilemma,
The chaos burns into my silence,
That parasitic shrillness has turned ferocious.
Moments are enigmatically crying grievance.
Yet that smile is stubbornly dancing,
In atmosphere of horrific poignant airs,
Fire firing more heat and light,
Life’s belief on heart is in tears.
The music sinuous in wave of harmonic pain,
Every note busy in digging its own grave,
The final epic battle is fiercely waiting for an end,
Just a touch for forever silence, no room for being “Brave”.
Winds are painting the solitude canvas,
Trees turned noisy and irritated,
Soul dived under the sea of misunderstandings,
Swiftly a sense of enigma is elated,
It’s time to end the race with a cremation of time,
Where dignity is dissolved inside fervor of demise,
Endless deeds is disappearing with closing eyes,
Only resurrection of phoenix can bring surprise

On my knees,
Mighty life I implored with all the force of my soul
For
To reveal to me its so many wondrous mysteries!
"Alas,
No mortal would ever be allowed all of my mysteries to know,
until the moment ready is he to enter the dominion of Hades*."
Life enigmatically replied.

Quote: "On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open, and the world is full of beauty". By Rumi
*********
Listen—not with ears, but with aching skin,
where whispers meander extreme within.
The zephyr is not a cursory breeze,
But divination along with the trees.
It jiggled enigmatically from the stone
and carved its ideology into this bone.
It speaks in whispers and traumatized song,
of where we're accurate, and what went wrong.
Jaw-dropping stories in stillness and hum,
of battles bewildered and those to come.
It hurdles through periods, grief, and grace,
leaving outward fingerprints on the face.
It wears no enthrone, yet huddles the kings;
It severs the tresses on buried things.
So listen in not for roaring decree—
But toward the breath underneath the plea.
The wind will not delay, solicit, or steam,
It is bombastic and allows you to stream.
Zephyr adorns twigs and allows grass to gleam.

Puzzling this mid summer time
I find myself walking down the neighborhood
Few cars pass by eliminating the cool empty dark spaces
Enigmatically the arcane moon shown over in evasive strange peculiar
Moment in the horizon it's midsummer around 10 P.M.
The street lights ever shine the sillerettes of the empty abandon parked cars
I walk, I wonder where are the sounds of the crickets
Where are those sounds, the meows of the cats in the alleys
And where're the WOOF-WOOF of the dogs treating them badly
Barking at everything that moves even the summer wind
The denseness of this presents, silent and noises
It's clear to me yet in this dark can't see
The night fell, it's night fall in this nighttime darkness pitch blackness prevails
And I can't see my hand in front of me because there's no room in the
SHADOWS
DARKNESS
CITIES TWILIGHT
It's about 2 hours after the sunset
All is enigmatic strange peculiar dormant
It's such a
Mysterious Night
