Nut Screws And Bolts
Listening to you
oh what a to-do
it looks like
you've come unglued
or going bananas
your psyche's addled the mind muddled
brain's fogged boggled or befuddled
is something missing
a marble or two
perhaps a loose screw
maybe more than a few
and making a run
or bolt for it
will never do
it's not too late
to join the inmates
for as well you know
you will still be there
wherever

ONE OF A KIND
In the corridors of a muddled mind,
Within the condensation of a thick fog,
I often find,
A relapsed presence, a menopause
In life, an uncertainty
Of kind,
Where good and evil dined.
Poetry is the release for such a mind
For it abides,
Inside the realms of the unknown,
Hands you a key to reach,
Un-reckoned heights,
Ventures into twilight,
The beginning or end almost tangible,
The

My Muddled Mind
As a child I used to think
Of all the things I wanted
When I grew I liked to drink
And it left my mind stunted
So now I can't remember
'Cause my memory isn't clear
My birthday's in December
But I don't know in what year

Muddled Footprints
Casting blind judgments;
My steel toe shoes won’t fit you,
they were built for me;
Unable to walk this path,
you would muddle my footprints.

A Muddled Distribution Plan
The world rejoiced upon the day,
When doctors quickly found a way,
The vaccine shot was good to go!
And only took a year or so!
But here’s the thing when it began:
Our country didn’t have a plan.
To dole the shots, it chose to shirk,
And told the states to go to work.
You see, although they won’t confess,
It turned into

Muddled Purity
A sparkling gem
In the middle of
The dull and mundane
It shines through,
Even on the darkest days
But still, no one notices
Its beautiful brilliance
It doesn't get stained
By the ugliness around
But that's what they want
It to become, dirty like
All the rest of them
The pure, uncontaminated stone
That had done nothing
To anybody else
Is continually tossed
Around like it is just
Any other ordinary,
Regular-looking

MY MUDDLED MIND
Your tea is getting coffee,
And your coffee is getting tea,
And what I mean to say
come and have your
Coffee please,
You have a cold,
I heard you sneeze!
Step out as you walk in
And walk in as you step out,
And what I mean to say
Don’t wander far
from where you are,
Dangers lurk about!
And then I say,
What clock is

Muddled In My Mouth
I have so many fake arguments inside of my head
And I win them every time
But when it comes time to actually fight
The words seldom come out right
I suppose that’s why I write in rhyme
There are so many beautiful things to express
And ugly, depressing things, too
But when it comes time, it all goes south
Every explanation is

A Muddled World
A MUDDLED UP WORLD
Oh what a chaotic world we live in
Full of hysteria for all to see
With news of perpetual unhappiness within
Have we come to such a cacophony of undesire
That we spiraled down to such a degree
To that hollow feeling of despair
With the apocalypse about to descended
What happened to the kaleidoscope of love

My Muddled Mind
I'm mystified by my unruly brain
while grasping for a word, I draw a blank
like ticker tape that moves in fits and starts
elusive phrases flicker in and out
and putting names with faces is a chore.
To place someone is hard as calculus
this mind, it calcifies as time goes by.
Can anybody recommend a tool
that scrapes away the crust

Travelling
Parallel lines
Darkness… light
Turbulent emotions orchestrate heartbeats-
Grey areas filled with muddled dreams.
