Best Uncertainty Poems

Can you count the times you’ve crossed me
And divide it by the times you disrespected me
Then multiply that by the times you hurt me
And come up with a figure?

Relatively speaking it’s a simple equation
Resulting in a drastic re-calculation of the outcome.

Can you give me the...

As his mind drifts upon silent shores of uncertainty, 
he ponders what was, what is and what is yet to come.
He wonders why no one understands the pangs of his soul,
unsure if his thoughts are heard, as they float away with the wind. 

Misdemeanors of...

there were moments, times in my life
when I couldn’t pray – all I felt was strife

there were fears, tears, leftovers from grief
so dark and lonely, I couldn’t get any relief

there were sorrows beyond my understanding
night’s shadows, desperations expanding

there were wars within my spirit, fights
forcing me...

"Love in the Time of Uncertainty"



Like the tide of the ocean
coming and going
with its calm seductive 
hushed reassurances and
vociferous remonstrations
dragging me towards the undertow
I have placed my trust in lovers
that come and go like holidays 
short spent longing for depth and length, 
I burn them...

raised ink blots of braille -
a feeble language to me.
licking fingers to flip page.
knowledge found in books -
heavy in “rest in peace” pile.
how will i impart knowledge?

uncertain compass -
borrowed from Captain Sparrow.
how can i find my true North?
intemperate spin,
rotating all directions.
the waves of the sea...

I'm too nervous to resurface,
it's not that I'm worthless
or don't want to work for this,
my motive sits motionless.

Can I bring it to your attention 
I need an intervention
to save me from selfish behavior,
a salvation of circumstances
serving me chances to be my own saviour,
challenging this circling...

Leaves of uncertainty have covered the earth
                    fallen from trees of anxiety and dread
a path, once as clear as crystal blue water

Uncertainty hangs up above my head
Bringing me to blink faster
To bite my lower lip
And to sigh heavily

Pray, the unknown remains a mystery
It can be pleasant
As it can weigh heavily
The unknown, tomorrow, and what it can bring
Is what I fear!

Why, all that we plan in life
The...

The uncertainty of life is rife
With sadness, triumphs and woe;
Scorching heat and cooling rains
From shifting winds that blow. 
From north, south, west and east
Bringing beauty or despair
Before the dawn where dreams are spawned
Suspended in thin air.
In a misty fog, a drifting daze
Not night, nor day...

There cannot be two identical things in the world. Two
hydrogen atoms
offer infinite locations within their shells for electrons.
Thus, nothing can be definitely eventually known.
All to the good
because golf and chess and basketball, as well as
mathematics, language and genetic recombination
are systems
for discovering the possible (which is...

the murky depths of the night drifts off the lone fisherman
     to the tamarind yellow river shaded with ecru of ambiguity;
  wind whispers wrapped in sweet somberness and  shivery softness; 
yonder a hint of golden honey light beckons a...

A face in a crowd grows numb on the subway
which hides evening’s woe, then closes a day,
mirroring grief across late Autumn’s  sky
to wrestle with angst she cannot deny
like one thorn circling down from a fogged  lair
while hours pound  this final ache quite...

Drag
by

After sleeping for the past twelve hours
I still won’t go outside
Only if I feel like dying with the sun on my face
Even then, I’d have to drag myself out there.

With a mouth that tastes like ash
whenever I swallow
If I walk out there, I’ll only fall...

I don’t know if my mind still knows the way,
or if the path ahead is just a fading gray.
These endless nights stretch like centuries long,
haunted by a dream that whispers, yet feels wrong.

I don’t know if I’m truly free, or bound tight,
if I’m walking the...
