A Puzzlement
Can you
Could you
Solve this conundrum
Decipher this dilemma
Troubling me?
How do you find
What seems lost forever
How do you seek
What is no longer found?
What do you call that which
Has forgotten its name
How do you point fingers
When we are all to blame?
I look up at the sky
Glimpsing nothing but clouds
Though my eyes search for a

Conundrums of Barabbas
I was born in a world ruled by emperors and organized power.
I was Armed with a spirit of combat and weapons of warfare.
Resistance to the death led me to be captured and imprisoned.
There was one, Jesus, whom I had heard about but had no use
for him. Notwithstanding, here we were, accused criminals of capital
offenses.

The Waltz of a Poetess and Endless Conundrums
She, suffered in angst and a deep loneliness,
As her jasmined poertry, was new and just growing.
“What good are my poems regarding truthfulness
or honesty?”
Against seas of creative poems, puff-pretty, bright
And glowing?
The icy, winter,rains came and gave her not a
whisp of a warm answer.
Her soul and stomach did crave some reprise..
“No, no, rest, dear

The Conundrums of Today and the Promise of Tomorrow
The Conundrums of Today and the Promise of Tomorrow
A tear of genuine sorrow forming in the eye of an innocent child
The fear of what the feminine has borrowed in order to represent itself as wild
A torrid exclamation from a Capatalist exposed to the truth
A florid invocation of one sincerely reflecting on his

Conundrums
Abandoned shoeprints
pressed between night and day.
Muddy, empty, discarded,
throats wide open,
mouths mutely appealing,
tongues untied,
revealed in the act
of escaping
both dark and light.
Two elderly men sip tea.
The loud ticking of a communal clock.
Unshod feet shuffle in white cotton.
Perpetual twilight stirs milk
in dimming eyes.
Exasperated attendants hunt
for lost shoes.

Prison Hanging Conundrums
Given that i have never been to jail
Been locked up or spent any time
in a cell be that even overnight
So this poem i write is solely
based on logic or endless
television crime based shows
But the other night deep in
discussion with me old mum
the Epstein suicide case came up
Now when you are processed
and taken in to

Chicken Conundrums
It's late
And I am taking my prose
From the either
A non believer
Who sees belief
Not as the word of God
But rather as a question
To which answers
Provide more questions
Which came first
The chicken or the egg
I don't know
Egg's cook quicker
And chicken is deadly uncooked
But it is finger licking good
And
