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...

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...

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.         ...

Premium Member Sea Glass - a bit of rough example
It's too obvious to be sharp
Though no one can deny the beauty of being pierced 
A delicate moment
Only to be savoured accidentally of course
Something to react to and get over
Yet with all edges polished away
Reflecting nothing
Lacking in all memory of before
There's a sweetness
No, sweetness isn't...

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...

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...

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...

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...

My Beautiful Friend
My beautiful friend
Hey. You daughter of beautiful Zion
Brighter than the city of Jerusalem
Yet I find no pleasure i you
O daughter of Jerusalem
Beautiful than the summer stars

Through the tender nights ahead
Illuminated with candles of life and laughter
Precious memories reserved in deep within
Where the greatest treasures dwell
The...

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 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...

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...

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...
