Short Fathomed Poems

Born alone, die alone,
Only union in marriage.
Truth as such is fathomed,
Only then will one be,
Free from bondage,
From now till old age....

she is an instrument of discipline
epitome of grace
exuding feminine power 
the hours it takes
to make this look effortless 
cannot be fathomed...

We are a faint star cluster
A mere wisp of evening cloud
A glimpse into ancient history

Our distance cannot be fathomed
By your feeble, mortal minds
We may be stardust by now...

Haiku One
winds turn, grass bends north
flowing river leans forward 
calm follows low lands

Haiku Two
fathomed depths find birth
nature at home, ocean spawns
dawn arrives weary...

Dreadful forms of crisis
depressed mind with worry.
  Dark shadows of sorrow
decayed heart with despair.
        Deceitful ways of fate 
destroyed spirit with doom.
Desolation fathomed!

Born on the 13th –     
must be fortunate –
of May, she`s not scared
and ever stays playful.

She grasps firmly springs
and jumps cause of mercy
into the gist of humble, 
the very observation.

Belittled the devilry,
touched by the fortune
she's glad that a man
fathomed her dreams....

Together they fall and plunder,
Piling on in weightless wonder. 
The leaves and trees are far from what I fathomed--
Dried and browned in mortal sarcasm. 

Cold in warmth and warmth in rain;
Washing away the frozen stains.
Barren soil bears a fruitless yield
Dried and browned in the snowy fields....

You raped my soul and left it to die
With dreams beat down and life that flies
But I found my light, like most of us do
I pushed through the torture and got the clue.

You are my past and I don’t forget
The choices fathomed without regret
Still moments in time, remembering its worth
Choosing phases of strength, with an eternity of rebirth....

You woke something that had slept for a thousand years
Wrapped deep in thorns and history
You gave me something real
Currents that could never be fathomed
The tidal waves engulfed me
You reaffirmed something that I always knew existed
Filled in the gaps with crayola
You made it seem so simple
You are everything I am not
And you’re all that I am...

Friends
If ever you be happy
Let it be 
For things done
Dreams come true
Possibilities realized

Let it be
For aspirations attained
Ambitions accomplished
Extremities fathomed

Let it be 
For misfortunes overcome
Wrongs righted
Life well spent

But above all else
Let it be
For love bestowed
Extended
Assured

For these
Dear friends
We longed 
And lived
To miss....

Standing in hope
That you will return
My aching heart
In inner burn
 
The roll of the waves
On the greying sea
It's crests of white
Spray passionately
 
But it's your depths i ask
That are my worry
Have you taken my love
In fathomed bury

Even the clouds 
Join with their spill
A flicker of sunlight
I will wait until?

Curse the poets with oblivion.
They haven’t changed a thing.
There still is war and pestilential greed
In spite of how they sing.

Damn the poets to perdition.  
They haven’t fathomed Fate.
The grave is still inscrutable, yet near—
No poet makes death wait.

Banish poets to cruelest torture.
They deserve the rack
For promising your heart to me
When rhymes won’t woo you back....

a thunderstorm passing over -
gun turrets flash
gray hulls rumble and roll
above tumultuous clouds

evening commences to weep -
a damp emotive capsizing
that barely touches upturned faces

as seafaring battles go
it was a sky-skirmish
of near misses

a backwash of electric fizz
the distant sound 
of sailors shouting for rum

light blinks 
shipping damp echoes
that drip
into a salty bucket
of silence...

Natures imperfections fade
And pale in contrast with
The perfect little circles
That lead along to big
Perfect little circles
Formed in every way
For those that are most complete
Let imperfection stray
A spark survives 
And chance ignites
New paths not yet complete
Within a new creative day
Within somewhere unique
Natures imperfections
Sometimes rather steep
Not as easily fathomed
As appearances would speak...

Unsounded minds 
  whispered twice,
Unopened minds
  blinked twice,
Unresolved minds 
  fought twice,
Unclouded minds 
  fathomed twice.

Distorted minds
  twisted twice,
Disproportionate minds 
  measured twice,
Disinterested minds 
  yawned twice,
Disintegrated minds 
  shattered twice.

Inculcated minds
  nodded twice,
Inconclusive minds
  repeated twice,
Inexplicable minds
  questioned twice,
Irrepressible minds
  damned twice....

Before dawn, I press my palm
on the windowpane,
leaning gently into the night
feeling it slipping through
cold fingertips.

Later
when sipping coffee I glance out,
there are shedding's now,
fragments and scraps,
a littering of a flimsy
day breaking light.

I wonder how so great a thing
as the deeply fathomed dark
could be lost in its leavings?

My hand wants to say
something more of this
but its bones are sleeping
and cannot now be reused....

I have never seen children who cannot listen as hard as these students
They could if their mouths ever shut, but they are perpetually open.
Words coming hard and fast, for they may have never been listened to.
At home, or anyplace else. And now here they are, babbling away.
Thinking their opinions are more important than the teacher’s.
I feel like I have fallen upside down into the Twilight Zone.
It is a world that I as a child could have never imagined or fathomed....

Left to right,
all in between
humanity 
resides.
Narrow band
of reality.
Limited in
nature.
Controlled.
Programmed 
in narrow 
reality.
Freedom 
genetically 
manipulated.
Swimming 
in a
fish bowl.
Limited 
reality,
all that is
known
limited in
nature.
Cannot 
know what
cannot be
known.
What
cannot be
fathomed.
Expanse 
of nature 
Infinite.
Not
shackled 
by genetic
spectrum.
Shackles 
will be
shattered.
Shattered by
what’s 
to come!...

When the others say to you
In their blissfull ignorance
Anything what you should do
But it doesn’t stand a chance
Cause you know the subject well
Better than they could’ve fathomed
Do you send them all to hell,
Or you’re lenient to others?
You consider what they are
Taking care of their concern 
You don’t want them be too far
And it’s easy to discern
Others and myself, because
I’m afar, and they are here
Very different from those
From another side of sphere.

The fountain is opened,
The sky is rent apart,
They take their journey,
A purpose is to be fulfilled,
A mission is to be accomplished,
The journey of a raindrop,
Can't be wholly fathomed, 
Its existence as an entity,
Is incomprehensible,
What we know is what we see,
What we see is what we believe, 
It rinses clean the atmosphere,
It drains away the unclean substances,
Some float,
Some are deposited,
Harmful substances to an all-embracing host.
