Best Puzzled Poems

It was a dazzling day.
In the park where we gathered.
I watched the sprinkler spray.
Whilst Oleander got lathered.

A pierce of minty laughter.
Came from my mother.
The day, now full swelter.
Brought mephitic curses, from father.

My mother,
A piece, of distinct edges, shapes, and color.
My Father’s piece,
Gossamer... A ghost in...

Jail was the land of my sojourn
for a decade

Now out of it all
building my life anew
I meet you dear woman, woman of the green breeze

Your mom is so illogical, thoughtless and heartless.

She pours a bucketful of human excrement
on my face, and expects to hold
the child...

A butterfly with rainbow touch
fluttering wings delicate much,
there in my garden.

All the flowers asking to sit
spreading fragrance seducing it,
whom to entertain?

War
Sorrow
Smoke filled sky
A baby cries
What is this blindness that destroys our lives?...

Building your space,
you were dying daily
invading the acoustics.

How the continence
was going to help-
living with scars of explosions ?

Mutating into a full-fledged
saintliners, an inner conflict
becomes a profile.

Crawling to a stone
a crayon draws a cell
without incendiary rhetoric ?

Decoding an icon
becomes a daily ritual. From
where will come the...

PUZZLED ME

I am complicated
In a poetical kind
Of way
A masterpiece,
A jigsaw,
A journey
A maze,
Figure me out,
Like thick fog,
And haze
I have many pieces
Please don't  gaze
My mind thinks
Differently 
Some would say
It imagines life 
As scary, Everyday
It has flaws and pieces
Put together like clay
I'm afraid on the
Inside
Where my souls...

The freedom songs the ******* sing
Every time the bells of slavery ring;

The anthem the shepherd boys scream
When hope is nothing but a dream;

The future beyond their very eyes
Whose passion gets colder than ice;

The tears on those bereaved faces
Of so many people in different places;

The agony...

PUZZLED      SMILES


When will we want what’s worthwhile?

Seems some children always choose wrong over right,

And adults’ alternatives are also selected with short-sight:

Perennial problem posed,  from Adam’s to my puzzled smile.



To take a snake’s apple? Or grapple for goodness’ sake?
To plump...

hands moving 
one face
on a clock
tick
ticking in darkness
cold feelings
echoes reaching
out within silence
twisting insides
hurt upon 
the soul

consuming insides
emotions overturned
darkness crawls
living in shadows
eating light
crushing deep
breaking up
into shattered pieces

sorting within
a jigsaw
with one 
missing piece
still to be found
only love 
takes away darkness
shining light
a puzzle 
the piece 
comes together
within a...

Should I praise the rainbow,
Twirling in spurts of bliss,
Or glare the tainted sky,
To blemish my share of happiness.

Should I avenge my freedom,
For I'll be free from shackles,
Or clasp my glutton desires,
To live a little longer.

Should I defile this body,
A memoir to all my sins,
Or gift...

Hello can anyone hear me? look what this war did . It feels like I have a demon inside of me. I feel all alone with no place to call home. I feel puzzled am I lovable?? I want to feel I want to love...

A liitle lump of earth
My entire worth
Transformed
From atoms swarming to be heard
His lips touched mine
And I buzzed
A receptacle of the divine
Pollen upon my stigma sown
And all this
My stuttering to sing the stars
My muttering scars of wars
And children wailing
For the elixir of a muted heaven
All this
Out...

Do you remember when phones had a cord to the wall outlet? 
Our son was about five years old.
We were in a hotel room and he wanted to call daddy.
He ran over to the phone and picked it up. 
As he looked at me with...
