My love is always open
My fear has made me stiff
And SHE will always me my "what if"

Perfection is an illusion...
Which leads to confusion...
Chasing after shadows...
Striving after the wind...

There is things called
Feelings .
But where do they hide?
Where would one keep
Them inside?
Or is it just a lie,
A made up illusion
To fill the mind.

lullaby- contagious sickness-
past through breath-
to rest- temporary death
-fast forward confusion-
propel the illusion: it's
okay- tomorrow is
another day

Delusion, confusion does anybody care,
Silence, isolation is there anybody there?
Frustration, self hatred, all I do is stare,
Defeat, repeat, like a ride at a kids fair.

Alone during my childhood years
Alone I stand as an adult
Fighting off tears and all my fears
Amidst the uncertainty and profound confusion
Of my younger years
I stand alone

Goodbye
Is it all a sad
confusion dance?
I may abuse the
apathy cruise control
but behind your eyes
are dead highways to
nowhere
and I have to be
somewhere
comments?

He went through the morning
ritual
Scooping spoons of coffee
One . .
Two . . .
Three . .
Four . .
and one to grow on!
Suddenly, his keister felt
a slap

or so i thought
mad
why is everyone so mad
i need you
i need you to help me
understand

Marriage is riding a bicycle
oil to reduce noisy friction
mend tires that burst
pump when pressure goes down
replace broken spokes
wash when mud splashes
carry optimum weight
ring a bell when in confusion

They were lost
out of the ordinary
a time within
a newer journey begins
senseless thoughts
a count for the days
amazed, in a daze
confusion, alone
a reality, surreal
heart-broken
a time spent
repentance.

She wouldn't allow me to enter her sanctum,
Due to my affliction entitled kindness
For she wanted tough love
A touch of insanity and a pinch of absurdness,
Kindness was my weakness
Never mind my apparent strengths

Paronomasia
Rhetoric usage—
A pun, a true play on words!
Shades of confusion . . .
Ditto sounds, other meanings . . .
Phonetic pun poetic!

thoughts get tangled
confusion
angst eating me up
i'm so dark
afraid
why am i here
mom told me i was a mistake
depression
denial
you can't accept me
why
i'm so full of sadness
someone understand me
i'm lost within

I fell alone.
Some how lost.
Blinded by confusion, clouding my path.
Nothing seems right to me anymore.
I want to go back.
Back to the times i was full,
full of happieness, passion, care,love.
Back to when everything was right.

Another year comes to a close
We've gone in circles, trying to follow our nose
So many lies and confusion, overexposed
Everyone's on the back foot, or throwing stones
But what's left in the end. I miss being stoned

Anxiety bursts confusion
distraught entanglements frenzies
grappling hysteria indecisiveness
jitters knockings lows
mania noticeable oppression
panics qualms rigorousness
sufferings torments unhappiness
valuelessness wretchedness xed
yucky zaniness

This world is not ready yet
although done and dreamed
for God... !
For giving freedom
of senses to man, that
being he imperfect, man
abandoned the heavenly dream,
he despised peace and harmony
and transformed the world
in disorder and confusion... !

Unearth me,
sift my confusion through your eyes,
dilute my anger with the moist of your lips;
graffiti my skin with prayers of trust;
grind my fear into a fine dust—
wrap me in the quilt of your ragged lullaby,
and bring me to life under a red and rainless sky.

IMBROGLIO.......
An entanglement of thoughts,
where the heart fears to delve into the mind's affairs
a state of chaos and confusion....
love,fear,rejection.success,desire,feelings and passion
each fighting to be heard
but the mind goes blank...........blank....blank

The focus... Where is the focus?
I found it -
I found the body, the shape, the background.
I lost the confusion
What is left is reflection
the inspiration... now... !
Created me, poet,
I found poetry,
with her I am happy

this feeling i have brings me down like the rain
it hurts so much
yet its not pain
even though it still feels as such
a feeling that can drive you insane
its sort of a mix
of confusion, jealousy, and regret
...for this feeling i have,
it just makes me want to forget
