I thought only in free verse many write confusing poems,
But, by rhyming also many confuse with verbosity,
That description may be liked by all the great poets,
But, layman may gain nothing as he won't grasp at all,
I mean even fellow poets will find it damn cumbersome,
A poem must have clarity and in a way not complicated,
When tough words are deployed, it loses its purpose,
It is like wearing a very costly makeup by spending
And then covering the face with full mask funnily,
If Shakespeare now is present, he will be baffled,
As thousands of words have been added to English,
It is left to the choice of the poet to choose words,
But, simplicity is like praying to God with deep faith
And it can be done without any ostentatious acts,
I have given it as a poem and never as a comment,
Commenting like this is wrong as it is immoral,
We mustn't even advice to give bitter feelings,
As Henry David Thoreau clearly said long back,
All are marching for the drums that they hear,
So, may God bless all with freedom to write
As per their choice and feel greatly hilarious!
INTRICATE PLEASURES
passion
forthcoming
so prolific
&continual
formed
to ensure
honest intrigue
a credible
enjoyment
elaborate & enduring
conventional yes
but cosy
&comforting
heightening
expectation
necessitating
a
closer look
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
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 labyrinth of feelings,
Closed around her heart.
Suddenly and completely.
She never fully battled out or apart.
Overcome with out-of-control emotions
That could neither be shaken or explained,
Nonverbalized, pent up, and out-of-control,
She was unhappy, angry, and deranged.
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
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.
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 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.
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
one by one
intricate steps were taken
guarding against the frailty
my bruised heart displayed--
teaching it to beat slowly
unified with yours, now healed

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.
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
