Best Puzzling Poems
trying to
solve the
puzzling puzzle
of swings
in mood
was not
an easy task to
undertake
that is
why in the
end the
puzzle was
left half solved

Nurturing poets to produce.
My motivational, poetical writing, spoken wordress muse.
In leading me to the speak easy cafe site.
To cause me initiating rites to write.
I am tattooing you.
These lines of poetry view.
Her medicine- just write- she administers like a poetic prescription
A writers treatment for bloc- no pre, nor post, just non existing that's her description
For tempting and hooking me back to my addiction.
Surprise! tattooeterized your name in this rendition.
U indelible watch within the ink.
A grateful gratitude laid you in this piece.
Cocked a pen - sprayed you like i shot a glock.
Your names bleeding- piercing lines-so i unlock this puzzling poetic tattoo thanking you.

I sit here pondering which piece to move, where it fits, and connecting the groves.
There is no strategy, no technique.
A challenge for the mind, where the brain has grown weak.

Earthquake broke out
Disaster came
No prevention but salvation
Fate is to be blamed or
God is to be blamed
Loss of properties
Deaths
Destructions to landscape
Countless and unpredictable
Where compensations won't work
Salvation will be
The most important part
They do their parts and
God will do the rest
People will come back when it's over
And life will start all over again
They have the courage to come back
But not the courage to leave the place vacant
Why
Just as puzzling as
Why should they suffer from an earthquake
For centuries

A lot of things in this world
Really puzzle me.
And I’m sure they’ll puzzle you as well.
If you look at them logically.
Why does an egg plant have no eggs
And a hamburger have no ham?
A guinea pig doesn’t come from Guinea
And it isn’t even a pig.
Writers write but authors don’t ‘auth’
At a recital they play; at a play they recite.
If vegetarians eat vegetables,
What do humanitarians eat?
An alarm goes off by going on,
While your house burns up, it’s burning down.
And even our bodies are built to confuse.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
I could go on forever
But I’m sure you’ve got the gist.
I’ll leave you now dear reader
To work on your own list.

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

As puzzling as it may seem,
Here in this life
There are hopes that scream
Beyond the strife,
Through the darkness, a theme
Joy larger-than-life
Puzzling like real life riddles
Pouring out pieces
Heart blazing, fiddles
With light that releases
Brilliant dreams, middles
Doubt and worry decreases
Memories puzzling the present,
Freeing the grace
Passionate promises, so pleasant
A humble embrace
Shedding the past, it will prevent
The heart’s disgrace
Life is like a flower
Beautiful yet fleeting
Always it is in God’s power
Love is completing
Nothing on earth can devour
The wonders are repeating
Even the most puzzling clouds
Bring abundant love
Silencing the violent crowds
It will always come from above
Remember that all His shrouds
Were laid aside, truelove…
Puzzling the heart, but making a way
For our souls to know, to pray
For paradise – light, life that won’t delay
In quieting fear with a hope that won’t decay
Puzzling as it feels to me…
Because He lives – I am saved
He heard my ardent plea…
By grace – my penalty is waived

POLITICS and its process should
reflect the wishes of the people
UNITED we stand and divided we fall
And if we stand for nothing,
We are certain to fall for anything
ZERO must never be the sum total
of our progress
ZEALOUSNESS wrapped in principles
and the truth is powerful
LYING and cheating are evils,
even at the ballot boxes
I and you must demand truth from would-be
leaders without regard to winning and losing.
NO one, whether politician or president
is ever above the law
GOD'S hand is still stretched out to
those desiring His help
THE time is now for us to divert
from paths that lead to disaster
IN all branches of our government,
may God's light shine
MORALITY'S rapid descent to our
nation's basement must be averted
EVEN so, every effort must be exhausted
to halt this runner-away train
SADNESS and sorrow, I believe, will cover
the face of the earth if this our 'one nation
under God' should ever abandon God

Life can be so puzzling.
Can leave you malfunctioning.
Every day jobs and tasks.
The questions folks continue to ask and ask.
All the money that is spent.
All the love gone wrong or misjudged by accident.
All of this pain and stress in our lives.
Just trying to survive.
In the end of it all no way to be revived.
Just to see if we’re heaven or hell sent.
Life can be so puzzling.

The philosopher had thought it through.
The physicist discovered it anew.
And the poet always knew
That time is relative.
If so, why…why do we all seek to measure
The millennia and the yugas
With the same empirical clock,
As in a rat race,
And a similar calendar,
Julian, Gregorian, Vikrami or whatever,
Blissfully unaware
That it may be a great blunder?!

Puzzling Relationship
Our edges seem so similar
Meant to fit, snuggly together
The tongue of your dry humor
Locks into the Grove of my clever wit
Forming attachments in every aspect of our lives
An image appears of our happy union
Then, as we filled in more and more,
Layer upon layer,
I found pieces that did not fit just so.
I rearranged my shape,
Just a bit, that's okay...
To force the connection that began so easily.
Pull this bit in, push this and fold here,
Until a ***** image forms
It is the appearance of "Us", but off.
Until, we no longer recognize ourselves.
Is it possible to unravel this mess?
Once we tear the pieces apart
Will they ever regain their original shape?
My pieces, unlocked from yours, seem deformed,
Misshapen, wonky.
Who is this Picasso I see in the mirror?

What really passed between us then?
How did each of us feel?
To me it's still oh so special
And it was very real
There came a point when we spiraled
Cruel words and thoughts exchanged
And disdainful treatment of each
Other’s deep hurts and pains
I thought you had just turned on me!
I was confused and sad
I still can't solve the puzzle of
Why it became so bad
There's a jigsaw piece still missing
Without I cannot see
The underlying reason for
Your animosity
Was it my failure to visit?
Or me not writing back?
Was it my young unfaithfulness?
Or all of these things stacked?
But you reached out to me after
All these various things
Had me hoping for your laughter
Not decades of these stings
Were you still so in love with me?
Your hatred just a fake?
Did your pride make you look so tough
To hide profound heartache?
I will never really know why
'Cause you won't talk to me
I wish we could take a minute
To help each other see

You had outlived
the dagger ?
flesh-eaters were turning back
I had burnt my palate
eating the sizzling words:
meaningless.
The evil will stay
as extended goodness.
I have no complaints.
Once upon a time
ravens were hungry.
Now they are competing with vultures.
This moonbeam was going home
into the marigold.
Sunflower was not in bloom.

I closed my eyes and pointed
A document I had received
Not a book in sight to point at
Revoked or it could expire,
How could this be
My birthday was near
So I had to march down to the DMV
Paid them money so now
I am a lawful driver
