Fabricated Fears Feed the Fidgety Figure
Debuting Damaged Desires and Disguised Daydreams
Beaten till Black and Bloody, Betrayed Beliefs of Betterment
Firmly Fooled, Formidably Far From Fate — Finally Free

So, the glistening aim noticeably passes by,
So, the dangerous motion formidably goes by,
So, the unknown one remains unknown for the time being,
So, one is ahead of the petty singing.
The one and only is good-natured and well-behaved,
He is favoured and well-blessed.
Though the great Guide is sacrificed, done and dusted,
The honest being is fit, fine, and well-crafted.
The physical existence is going to be dealt with,
The mirrored organizations are going to vote for the myth.
The glass is going to be blurred by its connotations,
The pure man is defined by his situations.
The window is becoming larger day by day,
The commentators are solitary soldiers in their own way.
The perception is becoming blinded,
The light is the only lie that is provided.
Here, the perfect human is the representative of his species,
Here, he has grown up with his lengthy speeches.
Here, he is no longer unknown or unfeasible to catch,
And therefore, he has everything else to match.

Halfway through learning life you find therein the games
Played by the oblivious and those who made names
Then your simplicity in view begins being challenged
As make believe is by hard facts rearranged
That society is both with and without bearing
For the old warmongering and peace brokering
Continue on side by side
Each taking turns at being follower and guide
And since good and evil formidably are frontiers
Furnishing many men with careers
Many men have become showmen
Obliviously courting omen
They play for whoever pays the pipers
Be they a flock or a brood of vipers
For only to themselves are they loyal
And money is their hearts’ royal
And they call their desertion a sacrifice
Though it be a cunningly justified compromise
And all these the young wait to ruthlessly learn
As we still claim to fight a brighter day to earn

Count Cat You Lah was the talk of the alley
We called her Mrs. Liberwith, you called her Sally.
We were scared of her ways, especially her sharp teeth.
A force to be feared, her knife usually unsheathed.
She did not hesitate to draw blood, this wild cat.
A scary anomaly, so fluffy, furious and formidably fat.

We are stronger than we think
Ups and downs of everyday will never go away
What didn’t kill us yesterday
Won’t send us to our grave tomorrow or today
Resiliency develops over time
We are stronger than we think
Even when days seems like a grind
Building strength as pushed to the brink
Resolution a requisite
To wrangle volatility
We are stronger than we think
Formidably overcoming fragility
Standing firm as we find our footing
Throw anything at us including the kitchen sink
But we know we will be able to handle it
Because we are stronger than we think

My heart has these many dwellings
such dead cold cautionary tales
long disregarded and condemned.
And then there is this secret palace
eclipsing all true loves desolation
where deep resides your essence.
A rapture of all your many graces
this mansion of your many riches
this residence of many memories.
And then there is your portrait it
hangs formidably in the great hall
duchess over all these dominions.
Oh how grand is this stellar view
how lovely in its awesome repose
mute witness to all my sad despair.
My heart has these many dwellings
but to only one loving abode do I go
to one haven where I will always be.
Portrait of all my heart’s affections
my desperate insanity’s sweet relief
where I will yet languish evermore.
Your glance follows my every step
as smoky embers hotly choke me
as I tend to sorrow’s dying flames.
I die willingly over and over again.
entombing myself so I may forever
remain in these hallowed silent halls.

Something's in your heart it's not just right
Bleeding inside tissues formidably tight
Red shines the pumping light
Bleeding hearts ever bright
Bleeding on flowing

Fruitful faeries flying freshly frightenly faraway
Flashing flea-bitten furry fireflies fantasy fey,
Faux flash-dancing flowery figs flowing flippantly free,
Ferocious fierce foursome fruit-flies flying fantasy’s flea.
Fast-fingered flicker formidably frugally fit flexible.
Frosting frilly flounder’s fluorescent fetish fully fixable.
Fanciful freckled fathomably frosted filly fibs flitting,
Fashionable forcefully fanatical farmhand fuzzily fretting.
Fun-loving, flippant foolhardy fivefold finger’s foghorn.
Fooled fellow’s fervent fleecy foppish fire fuzzily forlorn.
Fantastical fanged frolicking fishy fuzzy fickle frills.
Fixes froggy’s fanciful fanned fox figs from freezing Frankfort.

After broken dreams drowned in dolorous night
the nascent sun dawned the beckoning new day
in the desolate expanse of the desert wilderness
for the neophyte traveler set to cross dunes of life
that lay formidably flung far one after another
on the sheath of shifting sands of transient time.
The scorching waves of the desiccating wind surge
smolder the intuitive inhibition of marooned mind,
tired of hearing the bombast of obscure ambition,
trampled by the unsteady footsteps I feel flounder,
chasing the lecherous mirage of deceptive allure
along the twilight trail of providence undefined.
I won’t stop trudging till I reach the moonlit bliss
waiting for me in the niche of the promised oasis.

Amidst waves with their varied intensities
Beyond disasters and catastrophes
Contending and prevailing over calamities
Determined am I to do my mission for seafarers
Effectively warning against ocean-caused wreckage
Fulfilling my role as good guide...
Guarding and governing toward right route
Here I stand formidably, helping save precious lives
Influencing triumphant navigational moves
Journeys are made safe and secured by my presence
Kindness of my beam radiates the Sovereign Director's might
Lighthouse* am I at your service
Magnificently reflecting the Lord's brightness...
Never, never ignore me then!!!
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Consistently sincere
rock solid.
Formidably weathering trite storms.
Carol your dedication
exemplifies
exemplification.
Whether shocked or soothed there you are
discerning
smart
shrewd
kind
You know your own mind.
The Cheshire cat's toothy grin
has nothing on you.

Somewhere between life and a dream, I awake
Treading liquid air by arm, though remaining in one place
Tire from living, tire from the hectic pace
Drawing in breaths deelply in fear, FROM fear and WITH fear they escape
It resonates in the chest bleak
Clambering through body as so mind is deprived of sleep
Somewhere between death and peace
Something like free will retreats
As all is made formidably bleak
I've lost the nerve, the will to seek release
As the mind draws closed, the body laying flat out in defeat
Somewhere between irration and hope I linger faithfully.
