Best Fathoming Poems


Fifty Years

For the fifty frigid years I've spent forgetting your too friendly face,
For the fifteen forlorn times I lost my familiar faith,
Faint as those fallen, faceless, forever engraved memories are,
Fatal and faltering they make my fast-paced feigning heart beat by feelings so fake.

Follow me as phantoms from our fantasies' pasts free our paths forward.
I found the forest trail fastened in sight with fancy fairy blood.
Follow the sound of the fading falsetto from the fairest of God's favored Angels.
Hurry fast before frozen figures freeze your feet, stuck in mud.

For fifty long fervent, frantic years I've waited,
Fathoming, wondering, if it'd be feasible for you to be here.
Freaking out for a change so fair.
Fatigued, fretting, frozen in fear.

Failures, fallacies, false bearings...
For once in fifty frigid years, freedom from you is now forever for me.

God's 3 Perfect Lives

god has 3 perfect lives
and he lives them simultaneously
arent you fathoming the power of god?

One of them is a gullible god
and he walks around not knowing he is a gullible god
and he will have conversations with you
and like a genie where you dont know you are making a wish you are

i feel oceans and worlds apart from my husband but forever will be gay
but an everlasting nightmare it remains
and then the next thing you kno wyou are the victom

One of them is a prophet 
god surprising god
and everytime he does he regains his throne
and the only way to stop him
from regaining his throne
is to put him in his little bubble of ignorance
a world that isnt true and let him lead
see if he can see the truth and fool you all

The third god is the god that everyone murders
by slapping their elbow armpit and saying debbie does dishes
but keep in mind there is a curse to this perfect life
for god will live every single life from the beginning to the end of time
and be voted in and out of murder as you slap your inner elbows
and you never know when god is walking in your shoes 
for the other gods have a time machine for this wish to be true
and satan the code name for the murderer as everyone alive gets a turn
to kill their nightmare or dream come true and defeat their enemy
since the beginning of time every writer every prophet every poet
has been predicting this crime scene for death to avenge
and then welcome everyone to eternity
as we all become different crime scenes of a matrix to keep us living
happily ever after escaping our nightmares
and living our dreams

it just takes time
so keep on dreaming
and eventually with gods puzzle of angels and demons and 3 gods and other 
worlds i'll be back and slide to help you
just keep believing!

Come Softly To Me

Come, come softly to me…

Come, let me glimpse at your silhouette in the dark,
an ephemeral apparition in white satin and lace.

Come, let me hear your soft and nervous laughter 
bouncing and echoing off the bedroom wall.           

Come, let me drown in the forest of your dark hair,  
inhaling the sweet fragrance of woods and pines. 

Come, let me plunge into the pools of your eyes,    
fathoming the depth of the promise they hold.    

Come, let me feel your tender lips opening shyly,
whispering secrets that only lovers understand.             

Come, let me touch the softness of your skin,     
tracing the contour of every peak and valley.     

Come, let me calm the quake rocking your body 
in quiet expectation of what soon will be. 

Come, let me whisper words of love in your ear
like phantom in the night, beguiling, tempting.

Come, let me sate my thirst from thy dainty breasts,        
listening to the tale that each heartbeat dares to tell.  

Come, let me unlock the mystery that spells woman
embedding it in the deep recesses of my memory.
                                  
Come, come softly to me, my innocent virgin bride.

Premium Member The Amazon of the East

Dihing, adjoining borderline with Arunachal,  on the foothills of mighty Patkai, 
In the encircling mesas of terrestrial plains of high altitudes, 
lies the Assam Valley's tropical wet evergreen forests, 
Named after its thick density of  trees and profuse diverse ecology, 
the Amazon of the East,  the Dehing- Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary. 

An abode to the myriad of endangered species, copious floras and faunas, a hotspot, the zone of world's richest biodiversity.
As amazing as Amazon's tropical forests, dark and dense:
The country's lungs like last lowland the evergreen rainforest. 

Where the tallest of the tall trees with creepers  are competing
 for the sunlight forming greenish lavish canopies. 
                    There, the animal kingdom awakens, whoops;
                     When the light falls, fathoming the density, filters in        
The floras with the exotic species: orchids,  lianas, epiphytes, are sparse and unique, 
The faunas endless, the sole quirky reserve in the country with its' lush evergreen ecological system. 

Nestled amidst the most picturesque valleys and hills, 
Is reclining the lungs of the congenial climate for survival, of the region
A celestial abode on earth of the rarest IUCN red listed, on the verge of extinct species, 
TheDehing Patkai, the richest part of the Sub-Himalayan region,  a major carbon sink ecosystem. 
. 
 The Amazon of the East, with its sacred biodiversity hotspot, 
is apprehensive of it's extinction 
As the relentless injudicious mining and digging, 
Has taken away the pulses of the oxygen feeding lush terrain, 

Imagine a world devoid of rainforests, where we need to carry oxygen tanks, the most unfortunate substitution! 
It's sending signals after signals not to play with its' immensely diverse tropical bio- canopy region;
To save the last remaining unparalleled foliage, affluent lowland from excision! 
As no amount of wealth will be enough to save us from the impending outcomes of  destruction, 
        Pivotal to rescue and redeem the Amazon of the East;
the tropical evergreen Dehing -Patkai reserve, the richest rainforest of the region!

Caffeine

Chemically: crystalline carbon compound
Commonly consumed as coffee, Coke 
Choices? Consider chocolate
Craziness careens corners

Attitude and attention adjuster
Autumn afternoon activator
Accelerated activities
Ask another altruistic answerable

Fathoming fatherhood 
Folgers: fresh or frozen
Foolish frolicking
Fickle frazzled frog

Favorite flavor?
French fanilla (fun!)
Famous for flying
Fan for “FREEDOM!!”

Endurance enhancer
E’erlasting elixir
Endocrine epoxic effects
Essayist endorser

I, internal igniter 
Interestingly included
In iced infusions
Imagine: ignorance imploded

Nosy noisy neighbors 
Night-time ne’er-ender
Negative nightmares…
Nice neanderthal!

Everyone’s elated 
Elliptical epiphany!
Elephants eat evergreens!
Ellipsis

Trump Drum of Triumph

The drum is sounding
From Queens in New York
Stretching to the horns of America
And the horns of Africa
Hear them applause
They call it the Trump drum of triumph
I sat on my chair of reeds
And looked towards north America
O, Horns of America!
Send your messengers across the pacific and be specific
Send waves of excitement for the Republican
U.S President elect---who entranced the long serving mother
The mother of United States who has done enough for the U.S
To stand on HER feet
Tell the world what a drum it is
Should it be a drum of war!
The trump drum of triumph
Is offbeat

Those are tourists at Las Vegas
Watching the Trump towers
Fathoming the towers would reform into a gold mine
A precious gold mine to America and the world
The Americas and the world at large in awe
But agape with an intriguing question
Will the Trump drum of triumph not sell America to the world?
Either, will it not sell the world to America?
Now that Trump needn’t a salary?
Does he have a business plan in his palace behind his unproved humility?
America wonders---the world looks on---hat trick or not!
Let the white house and the black house both keenly watch
The start of this political game
Should he meddle in his belly and ignore America and the world?
The Trump drum of triumph
Is offbeat

What is his say on gay-ism and lesbianism?
Where Barrack Obama was offbeat-ism
The practice that is against God-ism
Which spoils ten thousand American children daily-ism
A man kissing a man-ism
A woman kissing a woman-ism
Abominable act in the world traditional society-ism
How about Illuminati, the god worshipers that are barriers between God and mankind-ism?
Consult Trump’s priest-ism
To burn down all the shrines of Baphomet in Americas-ism
And the National church of bey where our men become unproductive-ism
By sacrificing their manhood-ism
They become infertile for life-ism
Heal the world again dear Trump-ism
Make my county South Sudan a country again-ism
And refrain from God’s wrath-ism
Only then will the Trump drum of triumph-ism
Not be offbeat-ism


Villanelle For Beauty

Beauty chortles forth a frabjous,
interrupting static sanity,
Misheard through ears abstruse.

Boojums guised as proper
Cast labels fathoming blind vanity --
Yet, beauty chortles forth a frabjous.

They are the true Doctor
Jekyll’s -- hiding the reality
Misheard through ears abstruse.

Bolt nothing into the locker
Of recycled, rusted normality;
For within beauty lies a frabjous.

Wear robes of bold laughter,
Sing out of men's obscurity
Misheard through ears abstruse. 

Disregard these pyrite-crusted beggars,
To true ordinary, simply fools & jesters.
In beauty there lies a frabjous
Misheard through ears most abstruse.

What Could Have Been

met a dame 
On a maine 
Waltz through my lane 
Pretty as fine clay 
Molded for a potter 

To cherish 
So as not to perish 
An honourable damsel 
.....My intuiton 
Precedes me... 

leap of faith 
To sustain fate 
should I hail her 
...Retorting.... 
thinking..... 
Summoned the courage 
To take the chilvarous step... 

My confidence faints 
Like a tainted glass 
Seeing her everyday 
Brings calm to my storm 

Aloof I stand 
Watching events unfold 
...Thinking..... 
I have eternity to work up to 
her 
Divulging my deepest thoughts 
How wrong was I.... 

Like a thief in the night 
Eternity was stolen from me 
Procrastination steals the time 
Leaving me....fathoming what 
could have been 

If odds had been defiled 
Taken the giant stride 
To defy all odds.... 

Hence I spent four years 
Appreciating her from afar 
Without waltzing toward her 
What could have been.... 
Is what I ask.... 

Eternity can't answer that 
Cause its so far away 
What could have been.... 
An hello could have solved the 
mystery 

...Road not taken 
Opportunity missed... 
Hence the voice 
That sounded like *the bird 
sings* 
Is the memory I hold on too... 

What could have been.... 
Can never be known 
Cause fate stole it all 
Living just a memory 
To reminisce over.....

The Exception

Just as I finally fully fathomed,
That the exception does indeed prove the rule.
They went and changed the rule, 
And now the exception is no longer the exception.

Now instead of being the exception, I take exception.
When the majority is the minority,
And the minority rules the majority,
The new rule makes majority rule, the exception,
That proves the new rule and makes me take exception.
Which is something I find hard to Fathom.

I hope that I can have it fathomed, 
Before the new rule,
Becomes an old rule,
And the exception that was an exception,
Is no longer an exception,
Making the rule beyond my ability to Fathom.

In the meantime 
If you can find the time,
And your memory does not let you down,
I suggest you tone it down,
And avoid joining the majority,
As to become part of the minority,
Seems to be the only way to not become the exception to the rule,
So, you can  stand in the minority and you too can rule,
While I go away and do some more fathoming.

Random Rhyming

My life cant be helped but still strike a pose
punch you in the face call for a second dose
i got so much ice hell just frooze
light a fire up under all your noses
im the satanic moses
i dont mean to bost
i dont mean to breag
but im no one to upstage
taste the bullets tang
flowing out your brain
i just blew your mind
you couldn't acomplish bye sneezing 20 times
more lyrical content than 10 of your rhymes
i love to drink hienikens
but what i need is some wights and vitamins
staggering in the door styfiling
piss on anyone who starts tryfalling
hyperventilating levitating
inceneration in creation
Perspective regeneration
do drugs spinal fluid draining
consequences for my consuisness
is like pistil wippin and infant
im rhaspodys presentment
this is my forge
were i can rhyme words like orange
can hold it to them
with my stick of plutonium
your full of bolognium
you are the phoney one
truth is im not trying
my mind is so vulpine
my thoughts are full of crime
i love sending you jerks on trips
im just so  Omphaloskepsis 
you jerk im the mad scientist
i handle my own buisness
screw all the risk
im not afaid to pop off with a lisp
i bet you jsut wish 
yhou were in my position
dammit im a calamity
so damage it even affecded me
wreckognize me i got the spotlight fee
tidiuos incension with a surgons persicion
wording it perfectly is my mission
murdering the masses singlehandedly
sick enough  get you fathoming
my phantom wieght ravaging
the pedestrians cranium content
hell is were i was sent
screw satan im a tyrant
never call it quits
to hell with the roof the house ill lift
i got 100 sleeves and more tricks
i have no hook i have syllables
silly cannibles and hannible
im no man im a machine
Astraly beamed to be
a enginering mcee
wizard of oz with my words
docs cut me up im a lost cuaze
were doing science pass the guaze
arjay is half machine analizing
my prognosis is im ever rising
diagnostic check weapons to wreck
i have no guns i got my tounge
slaying beasts and feeling numb
my heart is gone to puns
luaghing at people grappiling
my concept i went timetraviling
my life story were its unraveling

Bittersweet

She would,intimidated at the hubbub of the spoon
Tapping the dishes at meal times,
Strive to elbow her way through the kitchen egress
Otherwise mount the window and the netting abrade 

Exasperated my wife would with her broom
Endeavour to chase away but not to avail
While her cohorts would just the scene descry
Fathoming they would actually avail from her mutiny

For soon she would recommence her conquest
Seek instead to bargain a consensus
Impel my spouse who would capitulate 
To dish them something out to domesticate their appetency

Later on my way home after dawn
I chanced upon her lying almost inert 
For our neighbour who was less compromising and bigoted
As she has so many times partaken of his poultry

Cautioned us of his imminent reprisals
Got hold of his shotgun and terminated the poor thing
I essayed my best to succor her bleeding wound
But reaped only a feeble meow and almost a beam

She indubitably set her heart on begging pardon
For the pestering at any meal congregation
For the unsolicited guests she summoned
When on the pull and the vigorous confrontation

They would ensue in our garden and near our aching pillows
Then departed letting my pet-worshipping,grief-stricken family 
Organize her funeral and allot her a decent burial in the garden
Where she buried her poops and messed the vegetations
Above all the flowers I per diem dampen.

Vision 2020 and T50

For the past decade or so, Malaysia,  she has her Vision 2020...
Suddenly, out of the blue, Malaysia has her vision amended to T50...

2020 was great in its futuristic projections...
But implementations, brother! So many imperfections...

Along comes the latest man of power with his blinkered vision...
Admitted he tweaked a little on that 2020 legacy from Dr M's administration..

Expanded his chest, blew hot air and said he has the T50 vision for our nation...
He envisioned our nation progressing way beyond Vision 2020 expectations...

Now, little people like you and me, we are bewildered and befuddled...
Are the political bigwigs living their dreams, power and money  among themselves....

While we the little people wrestle with the harsh realities ourselves...
Remember the sage advice about teaching a man how to fish...

So that he may yet survive beyond any given fish...
How does giving out cash incentives help families better survive...

When incapitating them into alms expecting zombies hoping for handouts...
Incapacble of fathoming they are just mere pawns in a political shootout...

Mega deals trumpeted and gushed glowing tributes over China deals...
You and me are left to wonder how much quarters were given up for these mega deals...

Will these deals provide economic benefits direct to us the people...
Or will it means overseas secure jobs here in Malaysia for the milling  China people...

Premium Member Divinity

Prizing self entails being true to who you are.
There are flaws and candles that ignite the air.
Man must determine his trifles and vision.
to be known for his victory, not his omission.

Everything vibrates and breathes with vitality.
"Life is the mind dwelling in a false reality."
Nothing can prevent fiery existence spread.  
Life creates a graveyard amid careless dead.

Ponder the angel's conception of the woods.
Only a keeper knows where ring-dove broods. 
Glad chirp feels cute; finds the angel happy.
Success is alike heaven; our steps are snappy.

In search of that mysterious, all-curing elixir.
Life is fleeting and puzzling; forewarn the mixer.
It is a force of its own that does not move time.
Hinting at and fathoming Divinity, life is sublime.

I revere you with a modest and cheerful smile.
Across words, I'll praise you with gaze for a while.
Fruitful awareness sees but can't touch the trees.
I worship you as a beauty that flows and foresees.

Hardcore Satanists

world wars your mongering for
the big satanic bloodbath
more appealing to god
then two homosexual men
The devil may cry
my favorite angel facing a feat of unequal measure
since you know soo much about him
live it everyday
you never let him live this down
just work on making yourselves miserable
you look soo happy that way
words you read by the best
your own walking contradiction
so caught up in getting what you want at anycost
you forgot what he wanted
and there is a price to pay
signed yourself up for a fight that isnt yours
the rules you live by
they are enforced
you cant scramble away from this fast enough
the lie you live for power
lesser of two evils presented to you
path of least resistance corners you again
sing yourself to suicide ever soo sweetly
the shortest straw has no alibi
and i think its funny
Jesus has some truth to tell him
slip the witch a missing letter
she doesnt mind bringin him back to life
even the devil you know
splattered all over your pages
the philosophy you seem to live everyday
offered you a short term power
and we just throw you away
came to get my favorite angel
something youve been denying yourself the whole time
trivial pursuit of endless lies manipulating yourselves this way is such a shame
now i'm not obligated to help you
you had a choice
the game of life you signed up for is coming round again
faster than you think
your underground rivalry of seeking after power
i paid the devil to see if you would make this mistake
then you did and i agreed he could do the dirty work in jesus name
the truth will get you in karmic laws you forgot about
threefolds of being humbled
and humbled and humbled again
wont even help you, you cant get away
hardcore satanists dressed up as saints messing up their own destiny
did the world not tell you
life is a test?
you were tested
you failed
the devil was in on it
enjoy your bloodbaths of endless wars in hell
the world kept this under rug swept
and now for you there is no way out
paid the devil for me
and jesus will eventualy set him free from the you he doesnt want
your not fathoming this properly
jesus was tortured so you wouldnt be
the letter gone missing
now whose got a face to blame
hardcore satanists
my favorite angel loves me
he wouldnt allow me to live this nightmare
so hes taking you far far away

Shy

I walk beside this goddesss for a while,
as she looks away,
I hide a secret smile.
No fathoming,the reason,
that placed me here right then.
Hearts gone to racing,
nervous twitters,hands shaking ,
once again.
She's a beauty,
long hair down to there ,
blown upon the breeze.
Long legs walking,
hand there swinging ,
to be held,with ease. 
If only ,there was a book,
or guide,
to teel me how.
Should I take the plunge ,
a leap of faith,
grab hold, even now. 
I reach,and she responds,
interlaced fingers, holding tight.
Shyness forgotten ,in all this world
the simple act ,which feels just right.
