"I am a victim of circumstance."
Are we not all?
Play not devoid
But freely strum the chords
Of sympathy and even empathy,
Far from pieces which are familiar,
For situations one might sparsely fathom.
When someone's fallen
Reach out a hand to help them up
Even if it slows you down,
Even when it is not expected.
For when is a fall the expectation?
And who among us is the exception?
Reflect, act, remark.
If I am to cross the line which signals finish
It will be knowing you
Have completed the marathon.
Having waded the haze that is "competition,"
In a day & age where that means so little
And should still mean less,
I will have been obscured by nothing.
For in that trek, I won;
In the journey of the sport of love
I went the distance for a companion.
When I knelt,
I chanced a "prize"
But it was you who made me champion.

Look beyond the borders of the walls that contain you for the world is vast,
Push past the horizon that surrounds you because your heart is true,
Let the raindrops dampen your existence as you begin your journey,
You embody light and emit potential,
Let your work be your legacy,
May your diligence be gracefully saluted,
For you are more than their minds can ever fathom.

Most People that say that they understand Your pain.
Do you really understand?
Do You know what its like to be waiting for a call that will never come?
Do you know how to know the end and yet hope for something better?
Do you know what its like to be left alone writhing on all the words that was never said and never heard?
Do you know how smooth her skin was when she held my hand?
Do you know how she made my chaotic world so calm and unburdened?
Do you know how far her absence wreaked havoc in my world and let me delve right beyond the edge of the abyss that I wish I never knew?

and if you see me
cruising in the depths of unknown. it's cause i was seeking for the thing that you were looking for. you tried to look unto others the uniqueness that i cannot even fathom. you've given up your smile to those people who were unworthy to see you happy. they'd replace with pain that you'd still long to keep. but, how dare i to conquer this? it's cause i was selflessly caring for you while you keep dragging yourself to the fools.

There's something in life I can't debate
It's an ugly argument no one can win
I know that love won't fit in my life
When the world we must revive
is just nothing but an utter sin

Canvass these souls
Threaten them
Throttle them
Just do anything
To get the hidden truth
Sinisterly, they all will fool you
But try not to get fooled by this junk
You are way more capable to unravel
this mystery
You are the truth seeker
But, destiny hands you the unfathomable truth
Rest is on your shoulders

you told me you want to write thousand sonnet about me,
but even a word you cannot fathom.

My feelings are the horizons in the sky,
I cannot fathom into words.
If so, I sing them in lyrics wherein
I could pour them out into chords.
So if you could find it in your heart,
to give a second start...
This time things won't end the same,
'coz we're never growing apart.

I can't fathom the thought of love.
the selflessness
the two hearts beating as one
the butterflies that flip around in sight of your partner
the little hellos that makes the blood rush to your cheeks
or the nights that you miss them terribly that you can have them there to hold just by a call
but that's the only the good part...
But what about the Cons to the Pros?
the tears that fight it's way out to see the world
the lonely nights in your bed
the fights and arguments about being unfaithful
or the 75% of breaking up because of the incompatibility between the two hearts that were to beat as one.
That's why I can't fathom the thought of love
One day it's something so beautiful
Like something as beautiful as Disneyland to a 4 year old
But then the next day, It's something so unbearable
Like losing your favorite blanket that was given to you by a passed on relative.
How could something so beautiful to the eyes be so dark and treacherous on the inside?

Without my mind's
electrical circuitry,
there's no time
besides eternity.

*I have been studying how I may compare
This prison where I live unto the world;
And for because the world is populous,
And here is not a creature but myself,
I cannot do it. Yet I'll hammer it out.*
-Shakespeare, Richard II, Act V.I
The world I fathom rhetorically orbits
around the whirr of a dust-peppered
triad of turbine limbs
inbreeding infinitely as electricity's
treaty permits
into a smorgasbord whirl of
processed plastic white
A remedial sun I compose
to counter outside's oven bulb
in the world I do not fathom
Heat's ****** of humidity
is not lost on me
with no canonized sense
even to establish it with
And even my own remedial sun
restricts a reality-knighting touch
with its ozone cage pried open
in unseen haste - a victim
of college's fugitive waltz
encased in the jazz fusion dance hall
of the world I cannot fathom
Is there a dual left-footed
interpretive dance of a carbon dimension
outside of reality's steaming kitchen
to fathom me?

As I laid in my bed,
So many thoughts encompassed my brain;
I couldn't fathom the concept of myself.
Why was I put on this Earth?
If everything truly does happen for a reason,
What was the reason of my existence?
