Within the vast universe 
multitude of cryptic stars
in a heavens ocean
dignified and distinguished
in a frightening serenity

my last breath in abeyance
for cicada song

Don’t make
Me cry

POET


Yes the poet is the fool
With cryptic words so cool.

Cryptic Description

cryptic description
you may say: it's not deserving
somebody put it there

and others
agreed, can't stay without the vote
from the majority, cope

Wait For Me

We- started off as friends
And somehow
It turned
To something

Far beyond explaining
Odd timing but-
Re-reading this

Means
Everything I’ll want to say

Thrust of Rain

I hear you
Pounding loudly
Soundly 
Falling fast asleep

Each drop
Flashbacks
Going back and forth
Pores raising

The sound of rain
Starting all over again

Premium Member Beyond My View-

Granted beautiful heart;
When did the bleeding start;
Cryptic messages and grandeur;
Hopelessly beyond my view;

Quantum Symphony

Arisen from the magic of cosmic dust,
we dance to the tune of cryptic strings;
The rhythm is different for each of us
but the grand music remains the same
We are one..

Cryptic Phrases

Cryptic phrases
I can’t decode them
Frozen in a memory
Of what you might have meant
Was it you who said these things
Or a voice that simmered
On the depths of the horizon?

Cryptic Butcher

I always reckoned my butcher was batty,
With cryptic comments when he got chatty,
I was shaking my head,
when, with his wife he said,
I would like all of you to... meet Patty.

Continue To Climb

Continue to climb 
And never give up 
Find it in you 
Reach for the top 
Let the spirit move you 
Possess that great skill 
Go through that cryptic maze 
With a strong will

Cryptic and Puzzling

Cryptic and puzzling 
Hard to understand 
No one could figure it out 
Nor did they have a plan 
What we have here 
Is a mystery 
Nothing but dark clouds 
Filled with ambiguity

In a State of Euphoria

In a state of euphoria
Such a pleasant feeling
The will and determination
To handle a cryptic situation
With such tenacity
Courage and strength
Having a plan and vision
And carrying out the mission

Premium Member Awakening 10

Here and now dare
To sense the times
Where dreary cares
Meet heavy grime

All is not lost
If you but see
The cryptic cost
Of what may be

The Negligent Parent

The negligent parent 
Was never there
How cryptic and puzzling?
His heart was not sincere 
Just face the fact
Your child really needs you 
You need to make your presence felt 
There is a lot for you to do

In the moonless night a poet’s ink stains

Words cloaked in somber refrains

In the ink’s abyss shadowy tales unfold

Each dimly lit verse a soul’s secret told

In a poet’s cryptic lore the rest remains

Flabbergasted – a swimming head

A cold intrusion

A sullen bed.

Cantankerousness

Apt delusion

Inept in death

Dyspeptic relation

Cryptic tree

Unjust incarceration

Liberate me.

unsaid,
cryptic
      timeless
in memory:
in imagination
      unfolding
      fantasy
in retrospection,
outlines
    reverberate
   become explicit
    visible
    coalesce
into wit
       and passion

Premium Member Say What

I queried my wife;
How great would be life?
If with me,
you would simply agree.

Looking me straight in the eye;
She made this cryptic reply.
That's no way to get along,
For if I did that, we'd both be wrong.

Exile Contest

Her cryptic change overnight,
                            Left her in a barren land,
                         Scorned, buffeted, disregarded
                              Contemplating  death.
