Perplexed Poems

Leftover Tomorrows

Leftover Tomorrows

Not just the yin and yang of life
Not just the perplexed and entangled
Not even the esoterically amplified deviations
Just the oxymoron nature of the beast 

It’s the fashion of ascending and escaping
Of falling into the voids of the heart
When love transcends into emptiness
Our minds form designs to abstract

To gain wisdom teased from agony
From wakeful weaving of earthly plights
A roller coaster of leftover tomorrows
Inverse our perception of dancing tonight

Funeral

Walking past the dreadful land, 

I realized it was someone’s last few breaths. 

The sorrow in their eyes, 

The misery that just landed in their life, 

With the heavy blue right above their head tight. 

Is going to pass just like a season, right? 

 

With a touch of grief, 

He left the world with few flowers and prayers in his brief. 

The possessions he left behind  

Are the only things on their mind? 

Sitting perplexed in a corner 

I wonder which is the peaceful place he encountered.

“It’s so simple that I can’t explain it
because I know that you wouldn’t understand
because I’m the only one who knows
what I'm talking about!”

   Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a famous theoretical physicist best known for developing the “theory of relativity”, and his mass-energy equivalence formula “E=mc2.”

Blind Folds On a Glistening Light

Ain't a illusion but reality, 
Your stardom, your limelight,
Your rich folks and my shame dress,
My heart begging tears to shed. 

Ain't a Jack in box I promise
But a fairy light lost in spotlight,
All you were a short lived fantasy
While December joyed and February weeped. 

Ain't a Silhouette but a soulful dream
Of my life's road driven in forest,
But Blind Folds on my glistening light,
Taking steps on pebbles of your life. 

For your shining flashy life
On Billboard of my long night,
I'll keep our pictures hidden forever
So you can step in brightest smile.

Prayer

Prayers

Lost and found in the battle of survival
Observing the darkness that surrounded the arrival

Of the lights

Denying the truth or not being perplexed by the presence
Being plagued by liars and slayers

If to live is up to oneself
Killing the other one, what is this profess?

Defending the mind from the thought of evil
Prayers, Meditation, and trying to prevail

Autumn 'Leaves' Me Perplexed

I love autumn - 'tis my most favorite of the seasons.
 
The harvest moon and colorful leaves are some of many reasons.

Trees that during summer provided shade and leaves of jade,

Now wear robes of red and gold so brilliantly displayed!

I'm awed as the rising sun casts its beams on neighboring trees,

Further exposing exquisite leaves dancing in the gentle breeze.

But I have a bone to pick with Mother Nature, truth be told.

Though my emerald lawn is now carpeted with pretty leaves of gold,

'Tis not especially to my liking since it is them I must rake.

'Tis neighbor's leaves that litter my lawn - and that's my bellyache!

Confounded Confused and Perplexed

I am confounded, confused, truly perplexed
By people who are selfish and mean.
Were they abandoned in bathroom stalls?
Did they have to survive on a cold tile floor?
Was their world so cruel that they think only of themselves?

I am confounded, confused, truly perplexed
By people who are bossy and belligerent.
Do they think this is the way to influence you?
To make you a friend? To straighten you out?
Why is their way the only way?
Were they raised by alcoholics? Not able to change their sad childhoods?

I am confounded, confused, truly perplexed
By people who are perpetually angry and grouchy.
Do they never find their bliss? Do they frighten away their soul mates?
Do they not know that sadness is at the root of their anger?
Why do they not reach out for help? Do they trust no one?
Were they raised in houses where mothers held I-pads instead of them?

I am confounded, confused, truly perplexed by depression,
Anxiety, and grief. These feelings are terrifying for me. I am
An empath, so I have to stay away from these feelings. I hope
You understand. If my empathy perplexes you, I get it.

Perplexed Sin

Perplexed sin 

                        What a lord says in our holly books that life is full of karma 

What we do along with the 
Power the things happens 
Taking place in your life 
Is because of me 

                             When God or 
Goddess give us life and we 
Perform the different stages of life must be good and bad 

But in the end why he takes our 
life is it not a sin may be i might 
have lots of humanity want to alive 
& ...........giving hurt till deep is 
a sin 

But sin is what we don't know 
Perplexed question

Fearful and Perplexed

Fading sun elaborates
Tuscan yellow tinges
As vibrancy floats
Lavender on periwinkle
Embossing clouds 
In shades of amethyst

Granting scenic vision
Atop the red bridge
Suspended in perpetuity
From vermilion towers
In resplendent posture

Sounding final appeal
From the complacent sea
Echoed by morbid hills
Seducing her fragility

Prompting her to leap
Gasping last breath
Fearful and perplexed
If there's solace in death

Perplexed

For yeeeeeeeears I thought someone was gold
More gold plated as I advanced down road
Then it faded...
The gold plated just became a plate painted gold
Things break and have been broken 
Most times glue super or not cannot make it brand new 
There are moments that I had to realize 
What once seemed superhuman was just reality in disguise 
Because superheroes get to be human too.

If 
    you’re perplexed
And 
        can’t decide
Just 
         let your heart
Be 
      your guide
WIZDUMBs BY JA 239

Perplexed

She pleaded with me to meet her here;
knowing that I could never decline.
But now, it's past midnight and raining;
although she swore she'd be here by nine.

Trying to understand her is like
trying to light a damp cigarette.
For the more anxious I am to try;
the more frustrating my attempts get.

Her excuses are nonsensical;
she's silly and possibly insane.
And I've stopped trying to outguess her,
for she deals in both pleasure and pain.

She is a genuine conundrum,
specializing in leaving me vexed.
And in the end, I have little choice;
but to walk away feeling perplexed.

Perplexed Poetess

Words for how I feel sometimes don't I have 
Sometimes feelings that just are my that feelings 
That my soul plague episodes emotional 
Which cannot words explain 
Phenomenon a strange and weird 
On Files stuff some X 
Me you and have a relationship bipolar 
I you like now but minutes I won't in five 
You me love but you love don't I 
Nothing fair there is an about exchange uneven 
Loved to be I want but I you hate that me love 
You love I want to can't but I just 
No sense makes it at all 
The head and heart in my confusion that swirls 
Creating together twists the venom bitterest 
Protection my own for I spit 
Myself defending genuine words from your 
So hard trying to be not that girl stupid 
Stupid I'm anyway for something rebuking so authentic 
Futile efforts are my

Perplexed

It’s hard to tell anymore 
If that’s you knocking at my door
With my blurry view 
I really haven’t a clue 
I just want to believe 
in me, before it’s my time leave

I am again a child 
Innocent and wild
Are the roses really red?
What was it you said?
I want to kiss you
But they tell me you're already dead

Now I’m hanging on by a silver thread
I don’t know what lies ahead
So please give me my daily bread
And tell me it’s all in my head
What in the world can be next?
Do not dare ask me; I am perplexed
