Once again I seem
In love with my bemusing;
My muse for living....

Bemusing beauty of black eyes
As they stare into the silent soul
No need for needless words
As lusty love lovingly makes
Honest hearts hopelessly happy...

Young love I envy not:
Bemusing time
Of upset hearts
And inept kisses
When lofty dreams
With passion zoom
Through twists and turns
And dead-end chases—

No, I prefer my love mature,
In marriage steady,
Two hearts content,
When each brief kiss
Renews a vow
And each sly glance
Stirs memories
Of young bemusing love....

Like a transient thought
You entered my dialogue
Seeking to become
Discourse of my mind

Confusing my words
You tampered response
Bemusing my mood
Feigning what love was

Until reality grasped
A fraudulent trespass
Holding firmly at bay
Faux vision of romance

Yet, our rendezvous
Was willingly allowed--
Lascivious to assuage
Exotic wish of the heart

I find it bemusing;
The sentiments some are choosing;
The language they are using;

When communicating their dissatisfaction,
With opposing political factions,
Whose personal appeal they find lacking.

So, I ask this my friends!
Examine what you say and pen.

Would you like this said of you?
Does it matter YOU believe it’s due?
Others may think you’re the back end of a mule.
I guess the question we all might use;
Does it fulfill the Golden Rule?...

I call out into the abyss
-	No reply to my query
Quietly, there is no bliss
-	Though I feel leery

My mind questions often
-	But to no avail
Imaginary blows do not soften
-	My mind doth but trail

To the dark hole
-	Going to nowhere
Lost in the dark
-	What do I dare?

To move, to leave
-	Seeking the light
Why should I grieve?
-	Give up the fight

There is no battle left
-	Combating my illusions
Bemusing the theft
-	And drawing my own conclusions...

Young Love I Envy Not

Young love I envy not:
Bemusing time
Of upset hearts
And inept kisses
When lofty dreams
With passion zoom
Through twists and turns
And dead-end chases—

No, I prefer my love mature,
In marriage steady,
Two hearts content,
When each brief kiss
Renews a vow
And each sly glance
Stirs memories
Of young bemusing love.
