"bewildering" poems
The future: Insecurities. Like a black chasm, (swallowing your absentees). Uncertainties, promiscuity, bewildering circumstances, you try to find present serenity. You never knew smoldering could happen underwater, until you see that later, always under the weather. Lost for words — train of thoughts, lost for sure, the battles fought. these insecurities eating me, (who would have known?): because I never let, it to be really, shown.

Insecurities.
There are some nights When i look up at the sky and fall in love Over and over again. Gazing at the night sky unfurl into deeper hues of blue indicating the end of yet another day. Stars as if diamond flung up into an inky facade. The moon, shinning in its glory As if the divine halo of the Almighty himself. A celestial space so immense where my mind can wander limitless. I embrace the silence of the night and leap into its angelic gloom. They say dark is evil, an unruly nemesis But now as I lie under this murky sky I realize Dark has a bewildering beauty.

Picnic by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch My friends laugh elsewhere on the beach while I sit here, alone, counting the waves, writing and rewriting your name in the sand ... Confession by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Your image overwhelmed my vision. As the long nights passed, I became obsessed with your visage. Then came the moment when I quietly placed my lips to your picture ... Rain by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Why shiver alone in the rain, maiden? Embrace the one in whose warming love your body and mind would be drenched! There are no rains higher than the rains of Love, after which the bright rainbows of separation will glow with the mysteries of hues. My Body's Moods by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch I long for the day when you'll be obsessed with me, when, forgetting the world, you'll miss me with a passion and stop complaining about my reticence! Then I may forget all other transactions and liabilities to realize my world in your arms, letting my body's moods guide me. In that moment beyond boundaries and limitations as we defy the conventions of veil and turban, let's try our luck and steal a taste of the forbidden fruit! Moon by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch All of us passengers, we share the same fate. And yet I'm alone here on earth, and she alone there in the sky! Vanity by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch His world is so simple, so very different from mine. So distinct—his dreams and desires. He speaks rarely. This morning he wrote: "I saw some lovely flowers and thought of you." Ha! I know my aging face is no orchid ... but how I wish I could believe whatever he says, however momentarily!

Among the market greens, a bullet from the ocean depths, a swimming projectile, I saw you, dead. All around you were lettuces, sea foam of the earth, carrots, grapes, but of the ocean truth, of the unknown, of the unfathomable shadow, the depths of the sea, the abyss, only you had survived, a pitch-black, varnished witness to deepest night. Only you, well-aimed dark bullet from the abyss, mangled at one tip, but constantly reborn, at anchor in the current, winged fins windmilling in the swift flight of the marine shadow, a mourning arrow, dart of the sea, olive, oily fish. I saw you dead, a deceased king of my own ocean, green assault, silver submarine fir, seed of seaquakes, now only dead remains, yet in all the market yours was the only purposeful form amid the bewildering rout of nature; amid the fragile greens you were a solitary ship, armed among the vegetables, fin and prow black and oiled, as if you were still the vessel of the wind, the one and only pure ocean machine: unflawed, navigating the waters of death.

Ode To a Large Tuna in the Market
There came an image in Life’s retinue That had Love’s wings and bore his gonfalon: Fair was the web, and nobly wrought thereon, O soul-sequestered face, thy form and hue! Bewildering sounds, such as Spring wakens to, Shook in its folds; and through my heart its power Sped trackless as the immemorable hour When birth’s dark portal groaned and all was new. But a veiled woman followed, and she caught The banner round its staff, to furl and cling,— Then plucked a feather from the bearer’s wing, And held it to his lips that stirred it not, And said to me, ‘Behold, there is no breath: I and this Love are one, and I am Death.’

Death-In-Love
these tempting and tumultuous  times, when the insect bite of attraction nibbles your cheek, and first blood thickens with intrigued, the blood heated by, with a bewildering new sun's glow, then bubbling boiling over with phantasmagorical fantasies, and one endeavors to coax, to tease, to preen, to adduce how best to ****** this persona, imagined or imaginary to be, whispers a silent "no thankee'' and first bloom curls into a deathly brown doom, you, chastened by amorous hastening so quick evolving, and the hither in come here, withers to a ghostly silencing, one wonders, reminisces, and sadly recalls then forgets the entreaties so eagerly received, how one wants to be deceived, for the once lay-buried-arousals now well recalled, and quick to appear, faster to dismiss disappear, and disaster cones and goes with light-speed velocity, having fling, now flung, having crushed, now crushing, you caught laughing at your self, still evolving long past the time for youthful deceptions and silly indiscretions, but not unhappily, for it was an acknowledgement that good love poetry yet within resides, alas, alas, it reciprocity seeds need replanting, and that notion is quite pleasing...

A fling, a flung, a crush, a crushing
In the early morning air between the Londonderry hush of dreams and the cry of Belfast on a weary morn Where saddened eyes embody the twilight haze of long past marches, the bewildering blaze Of Beltane fires that scorch the hills The world shudders to the battle cries where brother to brother the war pitch fills the saddened visions that over spills That a Gaelic tongue can curse its own To the bitter harvest of the Gael That wipes away the blood dew from these fields from which it grew and damns itself in the pain and sorrow That relives this war on every tomorrow.

My memories deceive me, and my heart bleeds to thoughts of you, poisoned from the curse that runs deep within my veins. Do I halter and use the words that I can, to try with you, another chance? My memories deceive me, and my mind is headed to a paradox of life that doesn't bring happiness but only a subtle feeling of contentment. For in my memories you are with me in a final, never ending dance. My memories deceive me, as the bewildering cries from within awaken the soul that has been bound by chains created from the sins of my past life, and are made stronger by the sins of which are my own. My memories deceive me, as the rumors of your betrail fade into the shadows but the calling from our hearts reach into the light, violently, yet no sound have they shown. My memories deceive me, trying to hold them back, all that accomplishes is bringing you into my senses once again, but I go forth to a different land with what could have and should have been. My memories deceive me, chased by an altered state of mind where nothing has gone wrong, no death, no pain, just the feeling of contentment once again. My memories, they deceive me and everyone around me, for I do not see faces, only souls that fade into surroundings. A paralytic view is what they show, of what should have, could have been you and me. My memories deceive me, but could they instead be the truth that I have been seeking as I try hard to sink them in deeply... My memories. My memories, immortal as they come, they open my eyes, though they burn like facing the sun, in this time I have begun, to realize my memories. They do not deceive, but only conceive the past that I have forgotten and shields me from...you.

*Restlessness makes my nights sleepless Overloaded thoughts make my lights stranded My mirrored reflection affects my emotion Finding the old me, now lost in the sea, never ending Waves that never cease my ease, bewildering Kisses pushes me to the dark,, hugs causes me to bark Stars from far above filled this emptied love Voices Rant, faceless haunt, memories taunt Goodbyes are beginning, the ends are starting* © Pax

Restlessness
You’re just being- my day’s delight: Simply shy, serene and sweet - This my world’s one treat, beautiful and bright. The way you walk, shiver and shrug. Your quiet voice, turns cold to snug. Soft eyes, smiling with warm lips. Dark hair dancing, twixt finger tips. It's your stare, lost lingering. Soul bare, bewildering. Heart bleeds to know why. It pleads, and I cry. Please pull it ?

Limerence
The poet is a universe In the universe Having the universe in him Vibrating the universe in his head Kicking the ball in the mind field In complex tapestry of words woven To attain infinity in infinity. Wonder not, the poet In the universe knows What others know not By unravelling the universe In complex poetic rhythms From deep afflatus. Living in the universe and Carrying the universe on head Are they equal? I know the poet is a universe Thinking the universe Carrying the universe In complex colors of night and day Complicating the universe in issues But resolving them in poetry The poet is a universe Growing tap root into the ocean soil Shooting foliage to hell and heaven Engaging the the universe in dialogue To grow tall trees of wisdom and understanding In the universe in which he is a universe. The poet, a universe Isolated in the universe To think the universe in the plains, Valleys and mountains of a universe In the universe bewildering complexities The poet is a universe!

Soft is the tone of your mellow heartbeat, electric is the feeling when our lips meet. manipulating are your illuminating eyes stripping me of all my control and will power. Seductive you are, this time, this hour. The silent ballet of your moans play through my ears like a first string quartet, I can't fight it,.. the thoughts in my head,.. this is what resulted me in your bed. You have toyed with me for the last time. I'm letting it all out, I'm trying to unwind. Both bodies adrenaline beating in unison, both bodies still in motion with the wants, the need of a **** To feel close again,.. But after.. I'm A                               L                                     O                                               N                                                                       E... AGAIN The lust you portray is no greater than your desire, The power I feel of your red lustful fire. I know I feel you, I can feel your warmth. I know your here, so please don't torment. My small, innocent, heart. You lay your body across mine, both of us vulnerable, skin to skin. this is it.. ****** me. Your hands, I can feel them, Your chest also heaving against mine, back and forth we commit the lustful and desirable sin. I've had my fulfillment, my satisfaction. I've been seduced by your bewildering attraction. Now it's my turn to make you feel alive.

Il pleure dans mon coeur (“It rains in my heart”) by Paul Verlaine loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch It rains in my heart As it rains on the town; Heavy languor and dark Drenches my heart. Oh, the sweet-sounding rain Cleansing pavements and roofs! For my listless heart's pain The pure song of the rain! Still it rains without reason In my overcast heart. Can it be there's no treason? That this grief's without reason?

Paul Verlaine translation "It rains in my heart"
Il pleure dans mon coeur (“It rains in my heart”) by Paul Verlaine loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch It rains in my heart As it rains on the town; Heavy languor and dark Drenches my heart. Oh, the sweet-sounding rain Cleansing pavements and roofs! For my listless heart's pain The pure song of the rain! Still it rains without reason In my overcast heart. Can it be there's no treason? That this grief's without reason? As my heart floods with pain, Lacking hatred, or love, I've no way to explain Such bewildering pain!

278 A shady friend—for Torrid days— Is easier to find— Than one of higher temperature For Frigid—hour of Mind— The Vane a little to the East— Scares Muslin souls—away— If Broadcloth Hearts are firmer— Than those of Organdy— Who is to blame? The Weaver? Ah, the bewildering thread! The Tapestries of Paradise So notelessly—are made!

A shady friend—for Torrid days
so what, they're slobs, but at least they're not cannibals... then again, maybe they are too, although i haven't seen it... then again i only write within an empirical disciplination... and i have seen these pecking cannibals... maybe it's an innate feature in all animals, then again these chickens were domesticated, there was no shortage of food, then again maybe it's some version of a religious tendency: translated directly into christianity... poetic cannibalism is not exactly my choice of events that follow a book written by kant; after seeing those chickens cannibalise that head of the sacrificed hen, and sipping the blood, while the head was still agitated into movement by the oozing out of electric currents... you know... i still managed to eat that chicken broth. i don't understand this critique of pigs... i have relatives living in the countryside... and i was once upon a time engaged in catching a chicken,    and upon the stump of wood her head was chopped off...    why complain about pigs being "filthy" when chickens behave like cannibals, no, actually: chickens are cannibals, the corpus was taken into the house, while the remaining chickens sipped, picked and nibbled the decapitated head of a chicken to a non-existence... bewildering, pigs are seen as filthy creatures... finally, god is the counter-perfectionist who sees some sort of imperfection in his lie...        i don't mind a ***** animal...   but i've just seen chickens become cannibals once one of their own gets its head chopped off, and they congregate, peck at the decapitated head and sip pecking the running blood on the stump of oak...             huh?! pigs are bad... yeah right... you haven't seen what chickens do then one of their charles the 1sts gets the chop.

Programmers   are   the   new   age   Necromancers At a keyboard and screen, for aeons, they tap away With   the   finesse  and  precession  of  tap dancers They converse patiently with the  cold  and  lifeless  machine With the love and care the rest of us reserve only for children Filled with bewildering communiques is their lifelong dream Their eyes dart back  and  forth in a room full of people Hoping  to  avoid  the  gaze that leads to a conversation In a church, at mass time, you’ll find them in the steeple They are the toy makers of our current times That provide  your  life  with  leisure and joy To  them  is their code,  as  to  us, our rhymes

sorry clings to a dark heart take the wrong path, no restart put it on the line, to have it all my sorrow ushers in your pleasure bewildering how you will never know full circle for the things I've done to you the dreams that will never fade to obscurity we knew there was something wrong with me wanting something that does exist any more your pain forever heavy in my heart and my mind every time I think I succeed, it bombards my mind My absence has to be one of the best things you know yet I know there is still a small fire inside but inside it's just ember by this time but surely the fire will never die

welcoming
Stone slabs descended down, forming a staircase straight to hell. A sea of screaming miasma suffocated either side of the winding venture. The light of the world above no longer registered as darkness swallowed this place. It seemed that whether forward or back, this road was infinite. Finally, after endless time, the monument of this suffering came into view. The blackest Obsidian rose beyond comprehension and without feature. Voices wailed and tension bloomed in ominous agony. And as it called out, a liquid wave of familiarity poured in and around me. The door, once unmarked, split down the seam as I came within the final stretch. Understanding drowned my mind, as I pressed my palm against its surface. Instantly, with a deafening boom, it swung open on ethereal hinges. Walking through, in bewildering clarity, what was one became two.

The First Door
The trees smile with their sprout of tender leaves and blooming flowers, Eternal nature with its transient expression, Hails spring with joy! Bewildering shades with so many tinges. The land of beauty and greatness Colour of happiness and peace makes people alive to enjoy the spirit. A celebration of colour And An experience of harmony and delight. Gulal of red, green, yellow and countless colour also explains the colourful meaning of life, A day filled with laughter and gaiety, A day to smear our dreams With a splash of vibrant colours The festival of colour brings a spring of unbounded fun and frolic!!
