Enigma Poem by Practicing Poetess

Enigma

Rating: 5.0


It wouldn't be a lie to say
You're an enigma to me
At times, you are so warm and open
Then, turn and shy, like a wild pony

You disappear for long intervals,
And then become all chatty.
From silent, to reserved, to revealing,
The contrast can drive me batty!

It seems you have a tug-of-war
That's going on inside
The things you have yet to resolve
Leave you unsatisfied.

From young-at -heart, to feeling old
Preoccupied with death
You contemplate on many things
With each successive breath.

One moment, you're a loner
The next, hungry for love
From daily mundane struggles,
To seeking God above.

You're a puzzle; you're a riddle
You're complex, yet simple too
You're a challenge; you're exciting
But best of all, you're you!

LOL Prabir In spite of the serious content of my poem, I have to agree with you- - that often life itself can be an enigma. Thank you for commenting!
