Imbalance
Feet walking with direction and decision
Mouth speaking sweet words
Not riddled with derision
Heart beating for pure love
With no malice or spite
Eyes seeking and finding acceptance
With no attachment of wrong or right
Ears listening for a moment of bonding
Not tools for inspection
Head held high with pride, positivity, and deep reflection
Forbidden

Mine psyche riddled with dybbuk
Thru emerging adulthood awareness awoke
within noggin of average baby boomer bloke
catastrophization toward risk taking I evoke
positive growth experiences throughout vast
number of orbitz around sun never kickstarted,
nor linkedin with potential livingsocial folk,
thus omniscient cosmic consciousness I invoke
diametrically contradicting atheism

Riddled And Empty Handed
The enthusiastic logastellus,
empty handed yet so scripturient;
Try to write it feels incoherent,
without words there is no audience;
Plagued with a poor vocabulary,
madness fills an overactive mind;
First line leaves that soul unsatisfied,
not able to capture a writer’s quiddity;
You can sit warm yourself by the fire
believing the Muse comes on command;
When will raw emotion understand

Riddled
I knelt by the river
and looked
for a smooth stone
with a hole,
but the rock I found
was rough and riddled
with a network
of passages
sifting light and water,
sandstone worn
to fragile bridges
that are barely holding.

No Joke, This Punster Riddled With Anxiety

because a dearth of dough

Riddled With Syllables
RIDDLED WITH SYLLABLES
writing riddles in
numbered syllables
one to ten then
back again….
Clone
poets poise
breaking soils
buried recoils
pale boned words recall
meanings leaning extremes
only tomatoes and beans
A ‘mused’ but not yet D ‘composed’
forcing phrases on countless pages
devouring clichéd thick fingered wisdom
spinning self-consumed cocoons of pride
in woven disguise they try hide
mining secret metaphors
housing rapid heart beats
flat blue sky circles
elusive prose
exposed

Riddled Heart
I cannot stay with your riddled heart,
One minute you love, than you tear it apart,
There is no substance there to bind,
Your words are like a jeckle n hide,
One day one way and then another way the next,
My mind can no longer keep up with your mess,
It saddens me to see the confusion you feel,
Unable to
