"lagging" poems
Sa tulang aking naisulat, Sanay may mamulat , Sa kasalana at problemang lagging naiuulat, Sa telebesyon at radyo ikaw ay magugulat. Mundong puno ng karahasan, Mga taong makasalanan, Walang paninindigan, Mga taong nang iiwan, Pamilyang nasira sa isang kasalanan, Kasalanang Patuloy na ginagawat patuloy na nariyan. Mga problemang hindi masulusyonan, Mga batang sa kalsaday naiwan , Mga taong naiwan ng kanilang pangarap at kinabukasan, Ito’y opinion lamang, Sa aking naririnig bilang isang mang mang. Ang suliraning laging nariyan, Kawalan ng kapayapaan, Kakulangan ng sapat na edukasyon ng mga kabataan, Walang sawang Kahirapan, Kawalan ng sapat na pantustos ng kalusugan ng mga mamamayan. Pagkagumon ng mga kabataan sa bawal na droga, Patuloy na pagtaas ng populasyon na di naaalintana, Nasaan ang hustisya ?, Bakit ang inosente ang nasa rehas na bakla?, Nasaan ang tunay na may sala? Maging sa eleksyon ay may daya, Pagbabagot pag unlad ang gusto natin, Kaya simulan natin sa mismong pamamahay natin. Bakit ganito nasaan ang pagbabago? Laging naririnig ko pag bukas palang ng radio, Bilang isang kabataan, bilang isang mamamayan , Ang pagbabago ay laging naririyan, Ito’y nasa iyo ung pupulutin mo o itatamabak lamang.

There's no replying To the Wind's sighing, Telling, foretelling, Dying, undying, Dwindling and swelling, Complaining, droning, Whistling and moaning, Ever beginning, Ending, repeating, Hinting and dinning, Lagging and fleeting-- We've no replying Living or dying To the Wind's sighing. What are you telling, Variable Wind-tone? What would be teaching, O sinking, swelling, Desolate Wind-moan? Ever for ever Teaching and preaching, Never, ah never Making us wiser-- The earliest riser Catches no meaning, The last who hearkens Garners no gleaning Of wisdom's treasure, While the world darkens:-- Living or dying, In pain, in pleasure, We've no replying To wordless flying Wind's sighing.

Hollow-Sounding And Mysterious
Mistakes happen, they really do If you were me you'd make mistakes too. The environment around you so enticing. The group of friends so inviting. Just one hit, it'll do you good Just relax, you're with us. Not in the hood. Smoke some more to get real high. Stop lagging around, join us on cloud 9 I'm sorry world, for temptation had won And indeed my mistake was said and done From the mix of drink and **** Into that darkness I shall proceed Not by choice, but my own blindness Not even to be pulled back by light's kindness

Mistakes
The river drank gallons of ripened water-the color of aging bananas mouth gaping wider, fishing for more of a glass half full tired of the filthy laundry piling beneath the surface waiting to sketch deeper into the canyon and discover a cure for boredom sunset: gazing at the back of the horizon easy to notice the tiny spit of pointillism which gave focus to the clouds maybe there are more finer details than a ragged pair of sneakers and eye lashes that tickle ears hoping that the crisp iced air would help remind tall lagging legs that the unexpected action would be to keep 3 extra soft layers waiting for the dirt encrusted pink toe nails to feel the promise of making a right choice thinking perhaps that writing down little snip-its of the way curls only twist closer to each other in heat will keep the electricity in busy brains buzzing just long enough to avoid the bills but only if someone describes touching lace thinking even more that there are better ways for you and I to figure out the word                                   we if by midnight strawberry swirls don't melt down my arm

Heart! We will forget him!
Different strokes for different folks, but if I stuttered when I spoke, there is a reason why I wrote, and if you think that I'm a joke, then stroke me, stroke me... Empirical lyrically virile and viral a warrior reborn like he's gone out of style, a rage unabated both non-syncopated and internal/external no meter's abated! You wanted an anthem? You wanted a cause? You wanted a figure to even the odds? You thought I was kidding but now you're admitting that I am the chosen whose broken the clause! Rising in status, my main apparatus, the attitude: platitudes lack the finesse! I'm searching for perfect not anything less! I'm raring to stage an incredible coup, there just ain't a limit to what I can do! Melding the milieus of millions and millions of masses who clash for the chance for the cash, when all that was needed was truth to believe in, significance outed, you puppet let's dance! No bragging, no lagging, and no more sandbagging, the hustle is over, your tussle is weak! For soon we will savor the end of your flavor, fifteen minutes over, your outlook is bleak. I'm nobody's pigeon hole, nobody's fool, I've seen quite my share of arrogant tools, but here are the statements that lead me to greatness: love me or hate me, go on instigate me, ignore me and gasp when you hear of my rule! I'm raring to stage an incredible coup, there just ain't a limit to what I can do! Now join me in raising a fist to the sky, and pound upon pressure to powers that lie. Make diamonds of rhyme-ends and squelter your silence to pierce through the casket that left us so quiet. Their reign is run dry, and nobody buys it, let's hit this at home so they cannot supply it. Prepare the artillery pack in your fire, you're gonna need it , if the bars get any higher, now hear from the jokee, I dare you provoke me, you still talking **** well stroke me, stroke me. I'm raring to stage an incredible coup, there just ain't a limit to what I can do! **I'm willing to take it for me and for you, THERE'S NO ******* LIMIT TO WHAT WE CAN DO!**

Under sizzling and bleeping The time runs nigh Between heaven and hell In a room, too bright Runs a body deadly circles Captured in pipes While the fellowship falls silent As the headman decides To live and let die Slow, but soon, the dying noise Leaves a weakly beating heart Fighting it's own pointless war No men alive shall ever thwart And lifes children turn quiet As they face the final loss The fact they can´t deny They live and let die Now, the silence bales and centers Around the fallen prey Slowly, death spreads, like a cancer Drives the living far away Until only ease is lagging In the minds that still stand by Relief about the outcome To live and let die

Live and Let Die
Suddenly, I understand it all. Yet the world is a mystery and I am lost in it. Ages are a time and emotion. 13 is mid afternoon. Lagging and energetic. 15 is the morning sun. Rising groggy and regretful. 17? 17 is the night. 17 is the span between 11-1. When you aren't wild yet but things are certainly different. 17 is the city lights and no seatbelt. 17 is the teenage cliché, shadowed by the unknown of what is to come. 17 is crying in the hallways and stargazing on the lawn. 17 is having a bottle of ***** under the bed, but being too scared to drink it. 17 is Ribs and loneliness, As you watch the night slip away and the knowledge hits you that you now have to wait for morning. 17 is the unknown. 17 is taking risks. Not because you are brave, but because you don't have anything left to give. 17 is to be lost, but to be okay with that. 17 is slowly coming down from the high of growing up, Reflecting on all you have lived, As you patiently wait for your life to begin.

Like swimming in molasses trying to ascend hoping to begin to get where I want to be Swimming in molasses, can’t get there from here as a robot in first gear trying to go with the flow Swimming in molasses waiting for the gooey mass to warm for me to find my way Swimming in molasses, Grandma’s Gold Standard all natural kind dark, black-brown viscid glue that holds and restricts I’m swimming in molasses deliberate, lethargic, lagging, leaden, swirling toward the promise that awaits me

Swimming in Molasses
Right now I have a bed underneath me , A cozy blanket is all over me and a pillow under my head, I got a college to go tomorrow and food to eat, I got no deadlines for tomorrow to complete, I got a roof upon me which won't break until a havoc strikes at its full or earth eats the whole colony in least , I got parents to look after me representing one is as a man and another is a women who make me feed, The wholesome nutrition and the best Pack of emotions I will need , Still what is lagging behind what is the best hearty deed ? That I want to do but can't do because I don't know what is going on in repeat.

The anonymous drive.
I feel the friction raising blisters to fingers. I feel the whispers of the smoke when it lingers, a siren rifling delirium and biting to the throat of a genius who questions how bad miasma hurts the singer. It's the quintessential fever dream between us Oh, he's so smart, look at his three page diatribe describing his rage, he's a machinist yeah Go join the dire parades of craven weakness. Admire reagents calculated to the T, brewed and created for playfully degrading, and raising heart rate, lying to you, and prying from your fingers. When they ask you why you're dying be facetious. Just sew the mask on to your face and make it seamless. Breath it in. Smell the plastic and bone. Relax enraptured in what half of us know. We drink the rumors from a chalice, sink in fallacies of balance, humor actuates the patterns, and its harder to battle the tumor after it's grown. Then we're just grass on the road, and we can laugh as we go, and we can act as if inaction ain't the crack in the stone. And we'll be baffled alone. We'll be the practical applicants of a graph of a lung, hung in a school. Drooling hospital drones. Stool in a bag on his side. Try to hide the agony in seeing lagging behind tank of life on a chain. Banking his breath on a check, and when it bounces he dies. It ends faster than you think it might. Don't even start.

Don't even start
Remember that day we glided along rice fields, me and you lagging at the back, while the 12 of us pedaled bicycles? The clouds drooled down daylight, and I was feeling lonely and crap. You glanced back on the road and waited. "You alright?" your eyes said. And we chatted about our problems, time chopping away on an x-asis, as we passed fields, motorbikes, and watersheds. Those shared moments every day with you, our friends, and our Vietnamese teaching staff, it aligned my universe like a human astrolabe. I'm so glad our group traveled across the world, riding bikes and drinking beer unbounded by maps. It ***** being home now, far away. I miss you and I'm always bored.

Despondent Couch Memories
I’ve found religion in your smile. Trusted the way it curves, practicing the lines in my mind with delicacy, ripening your image until it’s sore. Your throat baptizes me, replaces the devil of my intentions with sweet, rosy breath, curling my inhibitions until they dive back into me and I express my very desires openly on a blanket-- and it’s no sin because I love the way your spine stands like a perfect cross, carrying me to the vision you have of a better me than what I used to be. I’ve prayed for your thighs in naughty ways, but you’ve taken my hands, folded them into shapes I can’t comprehend and kissed my fingertips until I was crying out of confusion and catharsis, finally understanding what it feels like to count people, you, as a blessing. I see God when you make instruments out of blades of grass, or how that strap slides off your shoulders when the wind graces the moment with a whisper. He gave me an angel disguised as a woman with too many pillows on her bed and coffee breath, but you pull me from point to point like taffy, slowly, lagging, molding me into the gift you never wished for. I, bestowed at His feet, unwilling found a soul and a heartbeat louder than any of my unforgiving words.

4chan Philosophy in Leet Speak.
In retrospect we see with eyes we do not have. Blindness is as frequent as breathing, or more. One hand leading, one hand lagging, the ego soundly truncates what expediency has not. Blindness is not darkness: blindness is not seeing. Blindness is correctly being in all our vapid states. Physicality is abstract, and the stalk to true self: proper awareness must be earned, through our factual senses.

Blindness is not darkness
Chapter I I once was young minded, vulnerable with wide tooth grins and fluttering words, binding soft skin with liquid metals - like gallium, clustering in my ribbed fingertips and letting love level in my lips. I turned old the day I watched rough bodies portraying the new style of *** on a vhs tape, and he gave me a shaking milkshake to turn off my developing voicebox. I always wore this barbie nightgown that had tears from the nights before, but that's ancient dust that folks flip past in encyclopedias. as he knelt down to tie my veins together in little bows, I untied after each loop was set in my bones. his acidic fingers braced my eight year old metal frame, so I broke the nuts and bolts since I wanted to see if he was a part of the human race, I wanted to see if he could bleed iron-richness that kept myself breathing. Chapter II he was beautiful. his philosophy branched in segments and he tasted of earthy tones, but sometimes he couldn't smile easy and I felt his love only in acts of passion. The football game stuttered in pure vertigo, as if my body was still positioned in missionary. he held me in concern, his arms laced as protection from myself. as a survivor, his words felt like whiplash or lagging from too much flying in the high altitude. I needed to forget, float, forgive and begin the process over again. I would never see the shades of love from anyone other than from him, his words used to brand me. Chapter III I drank too much. I wished on meteorites, lead-filled, hoping they wouldn't fall on the tent. my luck was never strong enough. I felt as if a wildfire was singeing my dysfunctional limbs. I wanted him off. now. and my tongue was made of parchment paper. crisped. I woke up ten after nine. my body repulsed me, throwing up the last of poisonous alcohol I left stranded the night before. I devoted that I will never sleep in a tent again. Chapter IV I am finally free. I still have energy in these old bones, and I want to put them to good use. so I'll walk for centuries to find truth and trust. I use my voice to tell myself I am more profound than the surface film those insignificants swept on my skin. I found my voice again.

Start by hitting snooze Twice for good measure Leave the house just a few minutes later Turning right into a jam A thick, slow traffic jam Viscous car molasses But much less sweet Sit there for a second Simmering in sweat Your blood begins to boil Your hands begin to clench Grip the steering wheel Watch the clock tick time away Curse your screeching alarm Curse the convertible in front of you Curse Monday mornings Curse anything but yourself Know that screaming at the cars Won’t make that red turn green But do it anyway Honk your horn Flash an unfavorable finger To the vehicles doing the same to you How is it rush hour When everything is lagging Your will to move is sagging Roll your eyes at the radio Wishing listeners a good morning Oblivious to your mini meltdown Once you can peel away And break through that barrier Sprint down that street Swerving aggressively Whip into the parking lot Pretend your throat isn’t hoarse And your knuckles aren’t white Go about your day Get excited for tomorrow morning Tuesdays are better Right?

Road Rage
We rang in the new year On a mattress thrown on your Living room floor With the ball drop On a desktop computer screen The sound was lagging Behind the images And we were laughing At how we always end up Stuck in the past You threw your arms around me And let your kisses land Carelessly wherever They fell And I outlined your jaw bone With my pointer finger, Threading it through Your beard And looking into your Lazy eyes You counted the times I said "Like okay" at the beginning of a story And by 5 AM , you announced We'd reached a healthy twenty You kept apologizing For the way your dog Was relentlessly Licking my neck But honestly Even with her slobber And yours Dripping over my collar bones And even with the night air Tingling on my thighs, Just a little too thick, Just a little too warm, Even with my straightened hair Curling at its ends And your brother's girlfriend's Faint moaning sounds from behind A locked door There was nothing I'd rather be doing Than watching your eyes expand and contract To the rhythm of your stories Before the blue light of television Overlapping moon lit window sills And dark spaces You are the yellow light love, Symbolism with a pulse, Saying "it's officially 2017" With a begging grin And an undercurrent of Gentle laughter, Standing for change And growth And warmth And simplicity You are transparent And in the palms of your hands I see the year panned out In blue veins And freckles And it is kind hearted And it is forgiving And it is kissing my forehead And letting me breathe I know this is going to Be a good one

We rang in the new year On a mattress thrown on your Living room floor With the ball drop On a desktop computer screen The sound was lagging Behind the images And we were laughing At how we always end up Stuck in the past You threw your arms around me And let your kisses land Carelessly wherever They fell And I outlined your jaw bone With my pointer finger, Threading it through Your beard And looking into your Lazy eyes You counted the times I said "Like okay" at the beginning of a story And by 5 AM , you announced We'd reached a healthy twenty You kept apologizing For the way your dog Was relentlessly Licking my neck But honestly Even with her slobber And yours Dripping over my collar bones And even with the night air Tingling on my thighs, Just a little too thick, Just a little too warm, Even with my straightened hair Curling at its ends And your brother's girlfriend's Faint moaning sounds from behind A locked door There was nothing I'd rather be doing Than watching your eyes expand and contract To the rhythm of your stories Before the blue light of television Overlapping moon lit window sills And dark spaces You are the yellow light love, Symbolism with a pulse, Saying "it's officially 2017" With a begging grin And an undercurrent of Gentle laughter, Standing for change And growth And warmth And simplicity You are transparent And in the palms of your hands I see the year panned out In blue veins And freckles And it is kind hearted And it is forgiving And it is kissing my forehead And letting me breathe I know this is going to Be a good one

Reality was bereft As your head, Caresses the pillow A night deft. As I hear the crickets Lagging behind, I With you on the way To dreamland with a ticket. Don the Hatter's Hat In Alice's Wonderland. As we sip tea With Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat. Be large or be small Eating chocolates And muffins Down the rabbit hole. A carpet of wings We fly over The Caspian, The Aegean To where the Siren sings. Three headed dog is yours A gargoyle, mine. Little pets we walk Down Tartarus's corridors . Europe behind, we face South West To the land of Mayans And folk of a mystical race. We play war chief, Play in our blue tepee Flying on the backs Of eagles as they screech. You dance around My fire Gyrating in that form Bringing rain down. Purple Rider On a wind maned horse Black One on a Golden strider. Barfights and shootouts Brawls and scuffles You gained a puffy eye While I broke my stout. Seeking a view We jumped from Skyscraper to skyscraper Old and new. Jumped from hills Into rivers Spoke to the wild For time to **** Wary of the time We take flight Off the Everest We just climbed. Down and down Into a sea Coloured silver Bubbly diamonds all around. No lack of gas, You put swimming to the test Tripped on a rock A jellyfish attacks! Boom and Pow Wham, slam and A big crunch Little jellyfish said ow! Get stuck in traffic Office hours We suppose As the birds swam chaotic. We're here! Portal to reality Now exposed By now the dream was dear. Maybe now you can't see But we will, The sun rise, From the bottom of the sea. So we wait As the sea turned Silver to fire A nice first date.

For a couple of toffs , I was lagging their loft , The size of a Polo Pitch , With thick fibreglass , of a " superior class ", There wasnt a part of me that didnt itch . Now I had a , full bladder , So climbed down the ladder , Left the hatch open , like the " barn , I was born in " Desperate for a *** , though it wasnt through tea , I hadnt been offered a cup all morning . And right there , I saw , a note taped to the door , Saying "TRADESMAN - USE THE TOILET DOWNSTAIRS ". In the natural light, blinking , it got me thinking , Is MY ***** , so different to theirs ? Ignoring the sign, I crossed over the line And entered "The Master Bathroom " It was expensively tiled , a shame to defile, Full of lotions , potions and perfume. So I ****** in the sink , gave the mirror a wink And was up to the loft like a thief . Back home that night as I turned out the light, I imagined them brushing their teeth .

I Can't Keep Up
I could be Batman , with the best layed out plans. And I still couldn't solve the crime. And Sherlock Holmes could be on the trail and he still be lagging behind. We would be following footprints until we get a lead. I could be Green Lantern just using my lantern ring. To guide me by the light. And Superman could join in too. And, we are still be searching for you. I could request the asistance of Wonder Woman and Wonder Man. While hoping they be a big help. But then Spawn might come along. And give us too much help. I would call upon Spiderman and the Hulk. But they seems to have the worst, of luck. So, I keep following those footprints a little more in hope, of finding you. Because in you Jesus stands my reason of glorifying you. You are no idol or a fake king. Like those I didn't name. Your presence represent Power in the Holy Spirit name. And, if there one hero that deserves undying fame. It has to be the Lord God, who created every single thing.
