Confusion Poems | Examples of Confusion Poetry

Alta

When I walked in the room,
I saw no sign of you,
your shoes or your jacket new,
even your car was gone.
Called up all of our friends,
knew nothing on their ends,
no message did you send,
or note that said ‘so long.’
Called police panicking,
three days ’till your missing,
they got you on the first ring,
but would not speak to me.

The Life I’ll Change

I walk through the world everyday,
Continuously wondering if my purpose is to change a life.
But what life might I be sent to change?
Will I altar the eyes of my husband when I become a wife?

Maybe if I show my mother there’s good in the world, 
She won’t be so afraid of letting me go.
Or if

Camp Mystic

Soft raindrop music lulled all to quiet
with dreams of fairies, and princess of light 
Stars sent lovelights that winked off and then on
wind whispered “shh,” very soon will come dawn 

Quickly, rain grew restless, began to pound
sent enormous waves to hide the soft ground
Two rivers merged, creating a large sea
Higher, stronger grew sea's intensity

It thrashed

Affectations trailed with pet appellations, particularly endearments suffuses me with giddiness

Affectations trailed with pet appellations, particularly endearments
suffuses me with giddiness

Even though veritable hypothetical unknown females
courtesy Facebook Messenger
frequently pepper their text messages to me
with sweet nothings,
which figurative playful banter tickle my fancy,
and immediately triggers romantic fantasies
courtesy every "Jane, Liz, and Mary,"
I (a former Norwegian bachelor farmer 
now married Caucasian, latitudinarian, 
nonestablishmentarian, sexagenarian,  
and Unitarian Democrat)

Center of Attention

Did I ever mention
that I am always at the Center of Attention 
even when I try my best
not be like the rest?


What do others see
in me?
I want to be a ghost
but end up being a host.


It sounds ridiculous 
but even when I try to be inconspicious 
I am spotted by the spies
with their eagle eyes.

A Slight Kerfluffle

     testimony that disrupts
       proceedings it interrupts
     in a courtroom liable to erupt… 

       from a recess abrupt
       order is anon plucked

Stalemate

We've been playing this game for so long,
trying to find where we  went wrong.
Each time I'd think I'd learned the rules,
you'd change them, so again I'm the fool.
Over and over you manage to score;
wearing me down; hurting me more.
I don't see how I can do this again
when I know there's no way I can

Echo in the fog

 I’m stuck in the silence between ticking clocks,
Where time moves forward but I stay locked.
Feet in the mud, mind in the sky,
Everyone's flying, and I don’t know why
I’m still grounded—wings never grew,
Or maybe they did, but I never knew.

I walk through crowds like I’m made of glass,
See-through smiles as they hurry past.
They don’t see

Stroke

Somewhere over the mountain, hidden away,
There’s a land that is calling; I must not delay.
Somewhere over the mountain, that’s where she’ll be,
In the alpenglow, Mary's waiting for me.

They said I'd never recover from my stroke
A nightmare from which I never woke
A big chunk of me gone, a lower plateau
But I left the home, and off

- The Question -

                                          is life predestined
          

Starting Over

I find myself all alone
with no place to call my own.
Living off other peoples’ charities,
how did I let this happen to me?
It really wasn’t that far back
I had it made, that’s a fact.
The world was my oyster holding the pearl,
Miss Independent, a confident girl.
‘I don’t need anyone!’; least that’s what I said.
You think maybe I

PINK FLOYD SAID

songer.co/song/qejo3vwk1y2cs4pntmnrhg0q

[Verse 1]
Pink Floyd said,
“All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.”
Do you believe it?
How can that be?
A world in which there
Are no dreams,
Where everything
Is only as it seems—
Was Pink kidding me?
If God is dead
And dreams don’t exist,
If love’s a farce
Then I’m set adrift…
It's hard to breathe,
I got to breathe.

[Chorus]
'Cause I

Fool's Errand

I wonder after his black spectacles,
if I could recognize his phantom's scare
by his bandy left foot, something he'd wear:
constrictor turtlenecks, cowboy buckles
his trials decided by flayed knuckles
his tombstone eyes, the depth of night they bear.
I wonder at the factors of his fear
as I adorn him with cherry jewels.

Your bass breathes, haply, the contents of love;
it

Dementia

Mind, like a deciduous forest
has lost all its foliage,
all leaves torn away
by the autumnal blasts.

The brain where great schemes were concocted
is now an abyss where spiders sway
It is bare – dismally barren
of all memories – sweet and sour.

Like a kite afloat in the boundless sky
moving nowhere, but as the wind directs,
cut out from the past,

My dog and me

My dog and me

Nobody noticed the hole deep within my heart
Only visible to me
Only felt by me
16- The teenage dream and yet I had never felt more alone
The childlike wonder had disappeared
Completely gone
My innocence taken from me by the cruelty of time
I began to question what had happened
What had gone so wrong?
I then realised this
