"forthcoming" poems
"There are others, Don't worry, just wait and see!" There are others they say, So patronizingly Yes, there are others, Lots of fish in the sea, Lots of others that are Cookie cutter debris "You'll meet someone perfect, they are waiting for you!" I met the one I want He just didn't want me too Am I too forthcoming, Or not giving enough? Can it be my dreams Are too far to touch? Why must I lay, So empty in my bed? Imagine the glory of my lips Wrapped around your cock's head

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY: JAN SANTINO C. MANDREZA - MINECRAFT
i. A Vintage Alfajor necklace To veil mine sovereign belle; Betrothed for heaven's comfort We hath already been through hell. ii. Ourn bygone time Hath strengthened us for forthcoming rapture; I'll be right next to her, in her allure No death, forever, happily ever after. iii. I'll tryeth daily, tis none maby's I'll doeth anything, for mine Filipino baby; As tis I'll maketh her, forget her past I'll be her bishop, she shalt be mine eternal hourglass. iv. As time goeth fast, I mustn't lose the thought That tommorrow doth not always cometh, we dieth, get lost; Though she hath found me, I knoweth what being saved mean's I wilt liveth every day as mine last, and liveth it for mine queen. v. So dearest reyna, soulmate, and best friend When thou doth readeth this, know ourn love shalt not end; As we both understandeth, this planet is just a passage to the next We wilt meeteth in this life, and afterward's, pag-ibig at it's best. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl Jane nagley dedication

Pagliligtas ( Salvation) filipino tongue
An empty boat glides through a tide-less sea Echos of thunderous silence reminisces the rowdy sailors once on board Without fear they sailed across the dark waters Without the knowledge of forthcoming doom they kept the spirits high Navigation impaired by the wrath of silence, their abominable gaiety and preposterous hopes were muted for eternity Life drained, flesh rotted, bones crumbled to dust, and the boat was filled with peaceful death Though without an inhabitant it still continues to drift towards a predesitned chaos Its calm trail behind disrupted by an impatient tranquility Its still path ahead disallows all animations with an unfluent time Yet it moves forward

An empty boat
A tale of many cities confined within Deep dark secrets stacked in. Lies, the world presume as sins, That’s how the story of ‘The Black Box’ begins. Cramped amid the four gloomy walls, ‘The Black Box’ is what he calls. Looking to unscramble pieces at the bottom, He rolled up his sleeves to the problem. Not knowing, this can put him in a ditch, And ‘The Black Box’ can act like a ***** He went on in the search for a prize, Unaware of this forthcoming surprise. He knew, many have tried to look inside, To find a package of perfection in the hide Disappointed to see the shattered glasses, They closed the box to put it with a stack of more boxes. Still, he preferred to move ahead, In spite of knowing he will lose his head. The minute he thought he was nearer to precision, A way distant he was from the actual incision. The time will come, when he will have his threshold, Sooner or later, he will have to fold. After all, no one can alter the history, No matter what! ‘The Black Box’ will remain a mystery.

Inside ‘The Black Box’
Author: Kristen Stevens Current mood:  contemplative That would be my nephew. When I came home from work the other day, I sat down in the chair and from out of nowhere Anthony pops up and yells "I'm Ironman!" complete with mask. then I hear a giggle and and he pulls the mask off and says "don't worry Nini. It's just me." (Cause you know I looked worried ;) Anyway, he started asking me what I was going to be for Halloween and could we get candy like we did last year. I assured him that yes candy would be forthcoming. As to the costume, I had no clue. Still don't. I've been thinking snowman 'cause it's bound to be cold that night. If you have any good ideas...well they are bound to be better than mine.

As days jitter by gleamed with such sheer and merry, Then comes the memoriam-filled allegory; Called the times of meditation and redemption, Purple-shrouded cloth with blood has brought salvation. 40 days to drop down and be poured on ashes, 40 nights to commemorate for such dashes; A memoir to be sung, flinging an elegy, Sacrifice of the Son tuned to a eulogy. But have no disheartened faith heard on stricken grief, For a promise of sacrifice is worth that brief; It’s the moment to recall, repent, and renew, Making a mark not turn to long the past askew. Lenten season speaks of turning from the darkness, Losing a part to share with Him pure happiness; Just as Christ suffered for the shortcomings of men, His Church must respect and join for the time given. So do not grieve for his loss, or that of your own, It will be worth such a gain and it shall be sown; For that choice, a short-time loss is a long-time gain, With God, He provides us courage to surpass pain. Such as to come thwart on our midst His forthcoming, Prepare not only now but till life deems rusting; But until time hovers to an eternal halt, Apprehend, amend on such light and grave faults.

The Time of Sacrifice
Ripples running away from me disturbing the cool water around. My splash is heard by the trees and the birds But by none who can offer help. At first I panic, thrash madly, as a thrush flutters on the breeze. More waves are caused by the actions But still I flap and scream. Not a soul can hear me; the woods are a wilderness, deserted. Everything hidden by the low dense cloud, It stops my sight short and muffles my voice. So I wait drifting with the current no longer reaching for a hold, Confident I’ll be found and saved Dried out and sent home happy. The minutes soon become hours though and still there is no help. I give up counting depressing time. I don’t want to know how long. My skin starts to wrinkle with wetness like a dried fruit in a plastic bag; My nails soften in the water But still trap **** and other life. My faith in human nature starts to fade and recede. I try calling out once more A strange fear forcing the action I now grab, frantic, at anything in reach Losing what little strength's left And the weight of the water in my clothes And body is dragging me down. Finally I realise what’s happening to me is I am sinking, drowning - and fast. I am dying and there is nothing I can do myself to stop it. Inevitable, unpreventable death that I now accept as being my destiny, I close my eyes and try to help By thinking heavy thoughts. Running over in my head all the reasons why it may be better this way - As death is certain this is academic But strangely seems to help. If one can find the good in Death it’s not so unattractive. I no longer worry, I am resigned It is my choice to die. So I just lie back and wait for embrace even my forthcoming Death And then I hear a sound prayed for weeks ago But dreaded and hated as I am now Footsteps coming towards me that I try to ignore (and ignore their voices too) And a hand reaches for me, grasps mine They think I should be happy to be saved But they cannot see I don’t want to be saved from the Death I was so close to and wanted. I welcomed it, I willed it, to Come and release me from the pain Now I am safe I must endure once more the suffering, and accept Death again. So here I am alive and well Trapped in the prison of life.

Life is a harmony to be achieved Not by small trials, but by forthcoming From all the antagonists retrieved Our legs strengthened for running. In unison, a remedy to the believers A ringing of beauty piercing through Captivated are the achievers Who shed the blood of true Friends and warriors alike strive together Bone crushing blows to their hearts Tattered and strained by the weather They’re always around to pick up the parts A rainbow of color to those who stay strong Fearful thoughts often defer us from here Whether we do what’s right, or do what’s wrong Our minds remain clear, because we are here And we sing our harmonious song ©Mitchell Frieler

. Watching the rise and the fall of a kingdom Walls once rebuilt again tumble the ground Allowing the beasties free reign in the village Bellowing out o’er the wickedest sound Pacing the streets, seeking out bits of garbage Leaving their stains on the innocent few Leering in windows where children are hiding Tender young things and so easy to chew Thieves in the night lurk about come the morning Stealing the sun at the break of the dawn Drinking of sewage a’ flow in the gutters Checking off names as the many are gone Peering ‘round corners, down alleys, in shadows Seeking the favor of all who do grieve Laughing in spite of the torment now growing Licking their lips in the hope you believe Roaming in groups so the followed outnumber Say what you will for the king does not hear Lost in his throne made of mirrors that flatter Shivering, cowering, caving to fear Deaf to the villagers asking for reason Blind to the pillage befalling this land Dumb, well I guess that just goes without saying Nary a care what the people demand Feasting on turkey, potatoes and gravy Raising a glass to the enemy proud Taking a stand against those who support him Locking the front doors while yelling aloud ***“Carry your torches, your pitchforks, your honor It matters not for this evil shall win Even when gone there are echoes of anger Lingering on till they come back again Give them your all, what you’ve poured your heart into Down on your knees, bow to them one and all Step over rock and the piles of rubble This castle will stand even when the walls fall Shout all you like as no change is forthcoming Accept it or flee, you think I give a **** When you are gone many more will replace you Now pass those peas and a slice of that ham”*** So roam the beasties, their teeth ever sharpened Fanning the flames as so many are burned Tearing apart what the people envisioned Silly to think that they somehow had learned Nothing so happy with no ever after Always the same, it will happen again But unlike some other long winded stories Sadly in this I can not say “the end” Watching the rise and the fall of a kingdom Walls once rebuilt again tumble the ground Thankfully I can peruse from a distance Witnessing all without hanging around

lesson #1: in the beginning, all poems on Earth were formless on blended knee, the approaching, humility, raging, barely   tempered by a gale force need, the forthcoming yoga pose of compose you have urgings, mostly in a blink of an eye, then going, gone notions, the writing is so a losing effort, you turn the paper’s aperture sideways hoping to get an inside straight insight, but the poem refuses to come, the creation ****** delayed is torturous and the poem birthing, even worse so you revert to basics to give the formless a shape, recalling  a child’s learning that in the beginning: “the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.…” so you insert a single sheet of 20Lb bond paper, sliding the typewriters carriage smooth swift   over to the starting gate hell’s bell, typewriter machine smell erotically exciting creative fluids boiling, typing, laughing out loud, forming entree to the hinted hallway of a womb opening to a crafting with three words:                                in the beginning

Disappointed
Acerbic antagonist alliterates agonizing accusations, blasting ******* backbiter butting beautiful bombastic brainy blond bomb. Cumulative cranial casualties cease caveman's cognitive coherence. Doom digger derides Daddy's dangling dire dreary **** Eclectic esoteric eccentric egotistical estranger; Forthcoming fathoms fetch faithless fleeting father. God given goblins gather gossamer ganglions; Hell's hairy harlot harpies hover heeding Hyperion. Ignatius imbibes irrevocably insisting, "Jesus juggles justice's joy jarring jams." Kindness kindles Kilimanjaro; Malicious mountains melt, Mmm, morning marjoram. Nothing negates Neanderthal ninnying. Overt obsessions obfuscate original object of purest passions, paltry past pinings, quickly quieted, quelled, resisted, relinquished, readily, ruefully, roundly saturated, suffocated; surreptitiously silenced, terribly torturing the thrashed tamed tormentor: Ugly, ungrateful, unapologetic, Vanity, woefully wallowing, wailing, "Where's Xanadu's zeitgeist!?"

I hate it when you alliterate
I was once God's Picasso painting (the Guernica era). Chuck Jones' illustration of the tortured artist, laid out like Wile E. Coyote on a bed of scalding rocks and a white flag screaming "SURRENDER" clenched with both palms. If it were feasible, I'd have dove head first into the smoky center of the sun if it meant my audience understood the shrieking woes I had to bellow through to reach their overwhelmed palates. But Tragedy is the sitcom foil that has long outstayed its menopausal welcome, and I would much prefer a haunting. To Hell with those who repulse the flies with the vinegar of exploitation, gawking as their spit seeps through seven layers of collected scars, who ventilate the wrists to keep the audience comfortable. Real aesthetic power comes from a shower of light hail on the spine, the moments a ghostly hand ****** you on the finger with quietly hidden truths always whispered from a field away. It's far more bracing, the lump in the throat, not the electrical gasp of shock. It's a far greater sign of a forthcoming apocalypse, the angel weeping in pain, not the footsteps of the wailing banshee. The wisp over the wallop.

The Guernica Years
When great aunt Maggie passed away years ago, the one thing I really missed was her angelic voice. The swaggering, sing-song lilt of the mid-Derry accent was as sweet as the confections she used to pass out to us as kids: The inflection, the intonation, and the slight lisp she brought to it was so gloriously unique but was never heard again. I often wish I could go back with a tape recorder to capture it in all its glory and relive how wonderful she was. Now all I have is a untranslatable memory that can't be brought back to even vaguely approximate what it meant to me. And now here I am again with the same obstacle. The same tones, the same inflections albeit through a different light have just been extinguished before me. This time there was no digital device rushing in to capture our time before it ran out. No instinct for preservation was forthcoming - we were too busy having fun & 'being here now'. No, once again I am bereft: All I I have is here (in my heart) and and here (in my head) The loved sounds I miss will always resound there albeit without backup Voices lost but not forgotten.

Mind - tripping eyes subconsciously getting lost in grandfather clock. Thoughts frolicking through fields that time could never stop. From a lotus flower shinning bright from rejuvenation. Born to all things new, putting the past in stagnation. No matter the hardship, there's never a need to let petals start wilting over time elapsed. Grandfather clock never stops, there's only so much vitamin d the day allows to grasp. From this it's learned we must water our own apple blossom, one commonly missed, As we search for the perfect bouquet of eternal bliss. Yet it projects good fortune and releases hopeful vibes. Grandfather clock couldn't let memory forget it, even if it were tried. Apple blossom in hand, into daisy fields memory wallows about. Holding tightly to what’s left of innocence, youth cannot run out. What a gentle smell carried through the breeze, the sun with warmth to share. When grandfather clock strikes a certain time, reflections will take me there. When time is due, a valley is to be embraced. Within which lay a single lily, in which happiness is grace. Grace can be given all around, especially to those closest. Even when you’re the only bud bloomed, the only lily floating on the surface. In fact, the lily of the valley is grandfather clock’s key. The only one to break through the surface; the code to set time free. With not much else around, we work with what we’ve got. But happiness doesn’t exist so give it another shot. Happiness is something we must create; our own bouquet of eternal bliss. So as grandfather clock tics & tocks…. tic…. tock… I toss a single black rose at twelve on the dot…time stops. Farewell may be forthcoming, but rebirth has already been assumed. Thanks to you my bouquet has been created, my blissful soul has bloomed.

He slumps, grumbling at the air a grunt, no more admittance of awareness minimising risk of developing interest grunt the glow across his face pale a reflective pallor shows us his day has spent him inside grunt nourishment calls a gutted feeling deeper than his alienation as food is not forthcoming he tries to sing grunt in letting go his newfound voice an interrupted squawk so disgusted he uhgs hiding himself again grunt daily untouched but for lonely nights when in consolation he hands himself to the bounty of the sickened screen grunt and gurgles in unity, at one with images which champion his waking hours, forcing him unconsenting and confused grunt

The Grunt
As a flower thou wither in the absence of light With no rays and no heed where the agony hides When the bloom is no longer a forthcoming bright And the singing is now not a prayer, but cry In the wisdom and bravery thou reckon the faith And the spirit takes over misdeeds that were made As a flower thou wither in the absence of light Though thy soul is remembered, embodying might ~ 7/17

As a Flower Thou Wither
It is a vastness of cerulean, A pool of blue which surrounds clouds that are strewn together. Tumbling, accumulating, towering formations of remarkable depth and awesome beauty. Billows which blanket and envelop a sphere of life, turning the almost infinite and indefinite blue to grey, Massed with the heaviness of forthcoming precipitation. As time turns, and the big blue planet rotates, sunlight is reflected and refracted by particles unseen—painting swelling clouds with pale yellows that bleed into succulent pinks, deep reds, royal indigo, and then The flowering violet of conceived night. The sky portrays a huge entity, a formation of solidity and stability. It does not contain, nor withhold from the terraces and crevices of the Earth’s surface. It is as close to infinity as the basic human mind can grasp, The uttermost extension of one’s realm of existence. To look up at the stars is an annihilation of Ego, A humbling reminder of one’s relevance, Of one’s fragmentation of being, Of one’s essential insignificance in the immortal turning of the deep and everlasting vibration of the Cosmos. Stars, barely conceivable at times, Act as portals to the past spilled carelessly across an inky nighttime sky. These subtle flecks, minute glimmers of incredible explosions, are billions of light-years away Across the fabric of space and time. The sky is an incredible portal to those things outside of mortal grasp, A manifestation of all that is unknown, yet shared by every state of consciousness. A familiarity and a comforting reminder of eternity that will exist far beyond the human experience. With its undulating formations, precipitation, protection, and sheer exposure, It is a paradoxical beauty.

We are all heads floating in a tunnel, For split seconds on ends, our shadows fit perfectly with the holes, In the walls. Let us cheer to the sweet decay in our childish dreams. Turn up the volume and carry on Stuttering, sulking, seducing, Snarking or just swim against the current with all of the baggage of the Morning still crackling through your eyes. Hold onto the rails, and dance across the nightmare of endless consumption Sandwiches upon sandwiches within Sandwiches. We are all shadows in motion To the gods of gravity and brevity Our lives on hold a midst the commotion of gasoline tanks whirring And, the forthcoming shortage of ambition. The war is marching on But who's got time for war, In between the decadence of these slime-y streets? Who's got time for war, When you've got to put the kids To sleep?

Death by Chandelier
1966, my first school book review, aged 13. **It's hard, to say the least when you are bashful to give voice to all the words you wish to say for when your restless feet beneath you start to shuffle you know you'd rather take your chance and run away. You have a premonition to be elsewhere to a place they call 'the land of two left feet' where self-confidence is ****** beyond redemption where the introvert is king, and not dead-meat. As the arms of doom draw near to embrace you   and the ground before you cracks and opens wide     tongues of flame curl around to engulf you...     in the scheme of things you're skinned, trussed and fried.      You take a sip of water and start choking as a splash of liquid dribbles down your chin then the teacher offers you a paper tissue and patiently she smiles as you begin. Breaking out into a sweat you feel self-conscious as the collar of your shirt begins to shrink then you twist and tie in knots that paper hanky and wished you'd poured yourself a stiffer drink. Though you fumble for the words, they're not forthcoming as you pour yet one more glass from the carafe and while a tongue that's tied in knots may be amusing in a mouth that's parched you really should not laugh. Amid a mixture of derision and ovation     with that sickly smile still plastered to your face     you waited for the hard word from the teacher     but she said 'sit down' and well done Howard Brace. You prayed that you had never stirred that morning and rolled your sleepy body out of bed... of the precious weeks you failed to spend revising for the Book-Review and the text you barely read. ...   ...   ...**

Reanimate the dead air But not with mindless banter Blither blather Comprised of Contradicting compromises Less is more More or less That's more like it Your'e just a statistic There's always room for improvement Your'e only human An ectomorph waving a white flag A mesomorph crying "SOS" And endomorph in the shallow end experiencing the ripple effect It's a white world White washed Yup You need a strategy To win this raffle So you can win a chance to rub elbows with the snobby upper crust busybodies-chatter boxes It's win win A win lose In all its forthcoming splendor Enhance your station You spineless jellyfish Taking your work home with you Giving yourself scoliosis Bending over backwards Looking for something to depend on A fallback anchor You're in the hot spot You cold sore It's an inside job You canker sore
