Short Bemused Poems

By image moments

of kaleidoscopic green-

a pure abstract scene

Inspired by Raul's latest photo contest...

A bigger fish,
a smaller pond

A greater truth
alludes

The water shallow,
banks now void

Of fishermen
bemused

Ah...
bemused,
bountiful,
belligerents. 
Covering caskets,
cocooning, cringing cracks
doubting, desolate, dodgers; 
forever fishing, finding fist,
that will always swim before they hit....

All my feelings

Happy,
Sad, 
Excited,
Glad, 
Joyful,
Cheerful,
Content,
Bright,
Sorrowful,
Wistful,
Tragic,
Sorry,
Pitiful,
Attentive,
Heedful,
Bemused

Those are all my feelings...

Resistant to the light, we crouch in fright ~
Bemused by lower mind, we feel contrite

How long with fear, will we thus trauma bond ~
Ignite bliss within, by love’s magic wand

Blinded and saving the love talk in the dark
In a sensuous connection came a spark
An active mind bee-lined for a kiss
Shilly-shally bemused as lass remarks
Lips to nose in a clear view face, turns dark....

bemused..
   in wonder
deep
     in an avalanche
of
emotions:
this mystery
of
   living,
inwardly
    possessed
illusory answers
dismissed
    by
       ignorance
with
a wave
          & shrug...

Boros Trump? Donald Johnson? I'm confused!
Which is which, hair's similar, philosophy's unproved
Is this a new trend?
How will it end?
Will these ducktators join forces, it leaves me bemused...

when we have this, we then want that
begging for more, passing the hat
stagnating in this earth life dream
bemused by illusions that stream
dead man walking, blind as a bat

It's time that you were disabused,
of notions that I am bemused,
but if you feel I am confused,
it will not leave my ego bruised.
I hope that I can be excused;
it seems my muse simply refused.
‘Obligatory’ has been used…...

From the hilly tops
We once were crested 
Stilled and embedded 
We were once nestled 
But a gentle tap
With a gentle slide 
Started the great fall 
Sending all down 
Yes down
With a bemused smile 
Unearthing hidden canines...

verdant shades
dappled shadows… woodland ways
dancing flower flies
~
woodland... a garden
an arboretum… parkland
fill one's mind with green
~
artists… bemused...
which green to fill their brush…
gardens inspire...

There is a pain in my Heart
I don't know from where to start
where a woman is raped and a daughter is abused
this insecurity has left me bemused.




This is dedicated to the girl who was gangraped in the local bus of Delhi last yr.

you don’t wish me on my birthday -
you don’t compliment my achievements -
you don’t hide my weaknesses or 
… withhold public criticism 

yet you 

- gaze lovingly at me
- dedicate love songs to me
- resent others’ interest in me

I am bemused....

Ethos of 10 

They sat, bemused,
 in their inocence;
wearing their guilt, 
braided tight.
Sealed in a pointed star; 
Waiting on the Wolf and Its teeth,
 to severe the braids of gold.
Oh the crimson spurting;  
wasted for free breath....

Golden image idol was created by King Nebuchadnezzar,
They refused to serve the idol~friends of Belteshazzar,
Thrown into the burning furnace to be consumed for he was bemused,
Unhurt,they sang and danced with the Lord which make the king amused....

bemused light
falls to the ground....
moon cradles me

fingers on lips
amber disappears...
dewy mouth of mirth

whispered words
porcelain meanings... 
incipient snows of sleep

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
how I wonder what you are.
Does it wear a diamond mask,
bemused, my sister I ask.
Looking up, she tells me,
in its shine the smile we see,
mother flashes for us from far,
she twinkles in heaven as a star.

Smile awhile hermit
Be not so bemused
As dreamer and dreamed
Nothing need be done
Your spirit is free

To awake here
We vaporise
Nothing remains
Truth then is clear

The doer
Who is not 
Worries on

Be still
Silent

Now

A butterfly collage dances
effortlessly floating 
going higher 
interweaving...jumping...kissing 
lakes mountains 
nearby opal pastures
quivering rainbows
swimming through
universal veiled wings

Bemused girl where did she go

Running from her sins she committed long ago

Opaque she disguised herself like a pro

Kindness she craved for someone to show

Echoing voices repeating she would never grow

No eventually she would be free of this plateau...

Standing
as in a dream
            bemused
in my private world
alone

and yet surrounded
by others

                thoughts
read
digested
and considered

waiting
listening then
             writing
my verse
I awake,content

until the next
time...

Triumphant eye, desirous heart
But we’re not the doer
Time for ego and us to part
God alone the mover 

Bemused by illusion 
We live in delusion
Drifting in confusion 

Should we decry
Triumphant eye
