Best Intricate Poems
Sinuous,
the snake-like paths
of life's journey;
a turning and twisting puzzle
of a maze that tend to wall us in.
Sometimes,
we find ourselves
trapped or lost
as we navigate our way
through the intricate labyrinth...
but we eventually
make it to our destination,
and smell...
all the beautiful red roses
in the garden...
of life!

intricate steps were taken
guarding against the frailty
my bruised heart displayed--
teaching it to beat slowly
unified with yours, now healed

Black birds in the air
Intricate patterns on fence
droppings from above.
Quite dispersions.
Peaceful allegorical dispensations.
Certain tactful dispositions.
A spectrum of disquietude.
Allegorical gravity.
The solitary wishful descents of freefall.
Long awaited acclamations of flight.
On and on, this merciful rainbow in concerts’ dawn.
A gentle dream quietly placed.
Double-fisted handfuls of sand so carefully poured into
a seven minute glass of a hour.
I love you daughter.
You are my nucleus.
I imagine your hand in mine amid our bleachers of driftwood.
Watching the Sun sleep.
With a labyrinth of meaning.
Long distance adequate flight lines of flight.
It was shot at from a distance and aimed at from a birth.
Tagged reassurance and some things that should have been left undisturbed.
Winter sets near the lazy orange of autumn.
Streaked by a sky clear clouded.
Marked by a smile of my one and only child.
Listening to the riddle of an hour glass of an hour.
Intricate arrows of echo.
They pervade the thick patterns of thunder.
With well know secrets that harbor.
Waiting for remembrance soft hum.
I dreamt of you the night you passed.
It was a cold and grey marathon of a month.
There I chanced an arced echo of memory.
There I found myself lost in a cry.
Sounding, to most, like laughter embracing this dream.
A simple hope that you wouldn’t have left that winter of windswept clouds.
The whirring of the ion drive,
The zig-zig movement of the illuminati,
Across the sky,
A pyramid police force,
And a mind reading eye,
The power to beam realities on people's minds,
And an intricate eye.
They have arrived.
Thou art the only one that I love,
Ever since the day you stole my heart,
And when our eyes had its first collide.
It is always thee here in my mind.
I can't contain presentiment inside of mine,
And it feels like I am mesmerized,
I’ve lost my mind whenever thy near,
And can't deny I feel the chills.
So intricate this love must be,
Thy heart perhaps beats not for me,
I hope my surmise is not that true,
'Coz all I want is thee my love.
Love is requisite to live this life,
So I want to proffer genuinely it to thee,
Thou accept it with great felicity,
And thou hold me close to feel thy warm embrace.
Glazed rain drops hit me in the face, stinging
Why is the caged bird singing?
Scars and lines
What defines individuality?
Rationality is it necessary?
Cracks in the side walk
Why is my heart blocked?
Freeze or Thaw
Toughest decision of them all
Question and Predict
You and I just clicked
Sink or swim
What is this invasion?
True or False
Run, Run, Run
Lungs, heart, Mind
What defines Individuality?
Is it sincerity?
This is beautiful because you have become my concealment
Thaw
This distance between us rests beneath my ribs.
Expanding in the chambers of my heart ,
taking mutiny over it’s passage ways .
My vessels ring with emptiness.
And in Your absence,
Your hair shamelessly curls around my every possession.
Elaborating on the intricate spaces,
I do not have the capacity to fill.
My spine curls around You softly.
Hate mummers through your soul
Your morning opens with darkness
Where the sunlight cannot see
and cure you of this insanity
In your room is nothing
except many lifeless poems
that eases the embryo within
You desire wealth and fame
Except storm showers had
entered your detestable life
you had the eye of
a poet with a magician's mind
Now the whole world proceeds
you are left alone in grief
picking the last pieces of change
hoping for a spark of hope
That will rain from the heavens
inflitrating the gallows of your heart
Birthing you sense you've never seen
with a life you never dreamed of
your my intricate perfection,
a flawless tear
an unblemished shadow
a meaningful promise
a mysterious secret
a pure reason
a complicated desire
a breath of hope
an unfinished rainbow
a beautiful reaction
a fearless apology
a forgiving poison
an ideal twist
an incolved smile
a breathless sunset
a heart warming sunrise
your my intricate perfection
Thou art the only one that I love,
Ever since the day you stole my heart,
And when our eyes had its first collide.
It is always thee here in my mind.
I can't contain presentiment inside of mine,
And it feels like I am mesmerized,
I’ve lost my mind whenever thy near,
And can't deny I feel the chills.
So intricate this love must be,
Thy heart perhaps beats not for me,
I hope my surmise is not that true,
'Coz all I want is thee my love.
Love is requisite to live this life,
So I want to proffer genuinely it to thee,
Thou accept it with great felicity,
And thou hold me close to feel thy warm embrace.

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
A FRONT DOOR DU JOUR
It might be because I disobeyed a regiment of rules
Or is may have been my following the folly of fools
It could be the “always looking back” life which I’ve led
So if you shoot me do it the jugular vein to make certain I’m dead
Perhaps it was the dreadful drums of thunder
Or the spell which I was cast under
I followed the wrong crowd of cohorts into catastrophes
And have lived, ever since, between apostrophes
I had a need for a needle and a syringe
A fact which made my loved ones cringe
Brightness became darkness which instantly invaded
When all my hopes were harnessed and faded
There were days of scars and secrets revealed
And no one believed I could ever be healed
There was no magic to make of me a man
And even God knows I was following Satan’s plan
Righteousness closed its eyes to me
And foolishness seemed so wise to me
But taking the wrong fork led to a sheer disgrace
The same tragedy just with a different face
I summarily and swiftly fell through the crack
And became the flaw that broke this mammal’s back
No one could rescue me from the wreckage of my mind
Since there was no comfort for an incorrigible to find
A rock became my pillow du jour
And my cardboard box had no front door
A steamy subway grating became my nighttime bed
And that ain’t no way to live so I may as well be dead
