     A puzzle’s like a riddle 
       You hope to be surprised

     But to solve a real-good riddle
       I often close my eyes

restless rambunctious
ridiculous rhetoric
riddles repeatedly
rhyming resplendently
rock-'n-roll, really?

don't know whether to roar or purr....

Premium Member A Perhaps Maybe

What if
        ...conundrums
ever present 
riddles,
subliminal
fragments of truth,
interweave with
emotions. in
future speculations..
       ...lived out now

Abused

Pilfered a verse from a tricky muse
Each stanza with riddles he did infuse
Perplexed, I shuffled each line 
Fusing the metric spine  
Confused, my remaining wits did loose

Senseless World

Questions of yesterday 
have been left unanswered
Riddles have filled the mind
Wondering day by day 
Trying to finding answers
To why the wind cannot be seen yet felt
It is a senseless world’

Relationships

she spoke to me riddles I will never understand
trying to save what is left of this unfaithful man
but I can never change, I hope its not true
Ill walk these streets until I find someone new.

Keeper at the gates, why do you hide from me
i've been broken, now you offer up the key
can i tempt you with my honest declaration
or must i solve your riddles,
'til you reveal yourself to me

Blue Tomatoes In the Market

It is a market unique
it sells everything
that the soil produces
including blue tomatoes
whoever does not see it
customers refusing to buy 
are made to recite riddles
written by market master

I Love You Because...

You make this quest
This mission to muddle fruitless words together
This question that riddles my soul
Meaningless

soft and soothing
toroidal heart hums
breathing mists of bliss
rumble of cosmic drums

somewhere on the internet
a guru speaks in riddles
specious is his affirmation 
hallowed innocence giggles

How I Perceive You To Be

Your words are like riddles
Complex to understand
but there's more behind it
that not everyone sees
It's a one-sided mirror
that shows only what you play
It it good or is it bad?
that's the quest

Fiddle, Riddle, Diddle

Fiddle, Riddle, Diddle

Peter Dolittle did play a fiddle
Couldn't tell too many fun riddles
Didn't miss a beat
Was not so as neat
Oh, oh, now he's doing a diddle.

Night puzzle

At night I heard EUSTON A VU QUE JE N'ÉTAIS PAS SUE
An owl cried MONSIEUR HIBOU A MANGÉ MON VER DE MÉTAL
The dark seemed to play
With riddles till day
And echoes returned EUSTON A VU QUE JE N'ÉTAIS PAS SUE

Cosmo-Jarg'

Write;
cosmo-talk
shout to me
talk in riddles
speak in cosmo-jarg'
I can talk in all tongues
be they universal ones
[laughter is one of these]
or be internal
I can tell it
speak your mind
in space
orbs.

Undetectable Lights

I've been homeless and I've owned homes
Each time in love with the girl of my dreams
I've walked down some lonely streets alone
Been let down by love twice over it seems
Life's mysterious riddles of reds and greens

Angel of Atlantis

jagged heart hidden
behind hazelnut stone
wicked riddles rolling
inside angelic lips,
petite powerful tongue

connect our souls
my milian, mermaid
princesses don’t belong
under water forever;
even angels rebel

Prove Me Wrong

My understanding is baffled by your silent mystery.
And confusion, he screams, you are his greatest enemy.
So, if at some point, riddles and questions come into view.
Remember, the answers I seek, lies alone and only in you.

Echoes

Echoing riddles
That never end
All I've seen
Never makes sense to me
Trees of endless shades
Fields of silver 
Secrets whispered in newborn ears
Human fears
Regurgitated upon broken years
A life uncommon feels so near.

Lovers Language

Show me all the ways you can be unlocked
Let me turn on your lights and open your doors
 tell me Im nothing like the  girls you've had before
Let our hands speak to each other in their riddles, touching  the way only lovers do
