MY MOTHER’S MIRROR

her wrinkles look at me as if in doubt
“have you seen my child about?”
perplexity persists

Mystery unveil thy face.... to me
darkness pales your reflection....
Search my soul,
free thy mask set upon my throne
perplexity.......

an unseen menace
a state of perplexity,
hard pressed analyst
from behind binding masks
all that they do, is for you.

There is congruity in incongruity,
Where nothing is really something,
And is behind your back,
Really your front,
Just a double negative perplexity....

Whirlpool of colors




Beguiled by vibrant colors butterfly flutters in perplexity.

Dense clouds of uncertainty hoover
Causing a fog of perplexity
Ending will lead to takeover
For trying to resolve complexity

perplexity
runs wild 
through 
out the 
four corners
of my mind
why does everything
have to be so 
taxing 
there always
exists a barrier 
to climb over
each and every time 
a goal is formed...

Scares as
                  neurosis...
                  intoxicates as
                  overdose, but swells
                  the aponeuroses...     
                   In  agonizing perplexity...

be reminded 
with out

placed upon
the current

"What is the time?"

The blue coloured sleeve
Plummets to the elbow,
And the precious metal strips
Aiming for numerical notes
Catching in his
Reddened eyes,
Swollen to perplexity
Registers;

"Sorry. I've lost track of it."...

Phantom toe. Phantom toe. Where art thou? It used to be there. You still cause me pain but don't exist. A faint memory or a mystery....I ponder this at times.  Seems 10 toed brothers refuse to understand the perplexity. Their loss. My loss....

Stoned Hair A Mass
Tattooed – Sullen – Spiteful
Hip – Hip – Hip
I Have never seen my face,
Except in reflection –
Narcissistic passion
Pull out my eyes
Look back at the beast,
In denial of innards
Not faith –
Where is God?

The Sea . . ....

They speak of animosity
That always reigned through history
I feel it was an atrocity
Of that, there is no mystery

I say with little alacrity
The world must live in harmony
It’s not so much a perplexity
As it really is a need...

Today, I am thinking
That my limit is the sky
And I can`t help wondering why
I was yesterday so doubtful, so shy

Today, I am thinking
That my limit is the sky
But sometimes, I am so sad
And I often cry

That is life`s complexity
Its fearful symmetry
Its divine perplexity...

The past, present, and future
The beginning and the end (alpha and omega)
The evolution of existence
The thing that the simple minded can not grasp
The perplexity is, that it is the lack of knowledge
Which is proven in the proverbial saying
“What’s in store only time will tell.”...

     A ring of perplexity around me
        nuclear complexity
     wanton winds compete for affection
        ever-shifting, lacking direction

     The night deepens, glares flare
        fear stalks everywhere
     Is there shelter in her charms
        beneath the veil of her arms

Life can bring rain, it can bring storms but it can also spring beautiful rainbows
after one.
Innocence and naivety can play inside of one as the umbrella against responsibility for a while.
The strong wind of the perplexity of the games prevents the looking  back 
at the breadcrumbs of the miles of the journey.

Screaming at the top of my lungs,
Straining veins popping through my neck,
Fists clenched in anger and perplexity,
Because she wasn't listening,
She doesn't hear me,
She doesn't see me,
I push and pull clothes, arms, and legs,
Trying to gain her attention,
But still silence in pale faces,
stripped of feelings and emotions,
dead to the world......

I am walking on a road on a calm night

Cool breeze is rapping trees

Which have fallen deep asleep

Street lights are dozing

Still hung on poles

Moon is playing hide and seek

My shadows turn around

To look at me from

Front – back – left – right

With great perplexity

As wanna ask

Why haven’t I slept yet?

What am I looking for?...

The pen rushes; unstoppable yet
Thoughts deeply buried that fret
Fullness swallowed by emptiness met

Subtle meanings; ambiguous
Thoughts; so strenuous
Emotions; sensuous

Imaginations vivid and blurry
Overflowing ideas in brevity
Amidst freedom; perplexity

Stirs the mind that fetter
Pages remain in flicker
A torture for every writer

You cast me with a spell 
So strong I can't repel

What is it in your personality
That threw me into perplexity

You're like to me an exception
From all the rules mentioned

Is it your voice that makes me tremble
That always got me into trouble

Just your presence make me clumsy
Turning me topsy-turvy

This may all seem like poetic
'Cause your ignorance make sick...

Did you dance on 
the porch this morning
avoiding the invisible 
ice and the broken glass?
Could you see 
through the smoky hat’s brim?
In your mind you climb clouds 
like a resin rock wall
looking for a view 
of a place beyond perplexity
Fingers squeeze 
scraping the raincloud's face
Will you let their tears
surround your silhouetted trace
to wash your mind clear?
