What eats away at a young child's mind
what tears through the patience of adults?
What leads to screams or puzzles
What leaves a dull thumping pain in a chest
something you can't quite get rid of?
And if you don't find something quick
something to do
You might just die of it.
boredom

It flows through the veins of the forgotten.
It lives, yet has not taken air in years.
It is ashen of colour,
Hard-hearted of thought,
It lies dormant until it doesn't.
It feels lonely.
You mean it makes them feel lonely?
No. It makes them feel loved,
For feelings are love,
Even the ashen ones.

It flows through the veins of the forgotten
Where the sun will never reach it
But every now and then
A wind breaks through
And brings autumn leaves
Or spring blossoms
Violet snow
And for a day it exists in colours
And on the quiet days
It recalls

No one sees in black and white nowadays,
their colors shade what their justice bade.

When big issues sway,
In discernment men say,
there are many a way,
all different and yet the same.

In the end this ones red is that ones orange,
our agreements a treason, to our own reason; bittersweet compromise.

True light is dispersed through the prism of mans view,
ones perspective paints a panorama with colors he knew.

This world is tainted in mans hues;
mixed, matched and arranged,
yet in it’s start one thing remains,
there are just two colors in this domain.

But where is this knowledge most look for in vain, unfiltered unbiased just simple and plain,
this image is mired in colors today.
a poem to riddle the mind.

I live in darkness
I am hidden from others
I know things about you that you didn't even know
I am always with you Yet I am alone
I feel nothing but pain
I break easily and can't seem to put myself back together correctly
I don't know the answer to this riddle
I always wonder who am I?

Do you think you can riddle me this riddle
Do you think you can help me cross the river and not leave me in the middle

Do you think you can stand it if I pierced your heart with a needle
Do you think you can wait till it's over and not wriggle

Do you think our night calls can be more than the usual jingle
Though It's hard for me to dive in deep but I would if you make it simple

This frown on my face is not becoming and neither is the wrinkle
But when I'm with you like an ironed shirt I lose the crinkles

Is it possible for me to get your right  dimple
I like them and I'm wishing we can mingle

How would you like to remake the ****** *******
Can you go all night or you will fall into a deep sleep like the little

I'm bad at this and I'm pretty sure it will brickle
I want a lot, I've become so selfish that I won't even let you nibble

Touch down before take off thank goodness I'm not shiftful
Hope I won't kick it the way I was born and bred, single

I'm a thirsty soul but I keep breaking my water bottle, it's so brittle
A little desperate, would drink from a brook that has shrunk into a mere trickle

It's sure that we're going to crash if we cruise in this 2007 beetle
But dropping a stone in the pond is the only way to see the ripples

We'll never know what happens in Seattle, downpour or mizzle
If we don't tempt fate, what we think will always be fickle
If you don't start here you'll never get there

~ Can anyone solve my riddle poem? ~

An infinite schriek
Passing through nature,
Featureless, ungendered,
Not an individual creature
Frozen in time
Overlooking a fjord
More than a century later
Is still highly adored

That day you left puzzles unsolved,
No one to tell me where to go.
Still wondering
What they really mean
Riddles with no solutions
Mysteries you kept, forever a cold case,
Questions which have no answer.
Michael A Duff Oct 2019
sometimes she is hard to love and makes you question yourself. she can be a riddle talking of the future, but only living for today. she is amazing in so many ways unexpected and beautiful. with all of that she sets my heart a blaze and captures my soul.
This confusing thing called love
