"lapse" poems
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

( i ) I lucked out on table 4 last night window seat baseboard heat with intimate passages from Ginsberg in his purest and most evident form Cover-all Carl was draped in his usual garb (turning pages of yesterday's news) animating, culturing, bantering on the fate of the Greek barber (in an accent of which I'm not so sure) His cronies looked on (with a twisted conviction) countering with their own tales of ingovernance and woe *did you know that Panasonic lost 5 billion last quarter?* The evening moved in time lapse... with painted winds, streaming lights and a host of high school girls running cold Maleah passed on her late shift (checking the pile and trough), patronized the boys and called it a night ( ii ) The bald man is back at it again bickering at the till (something about a cold free coffee or 99 cents or the coloured guy behind him who got it hot) a kind Filipino is trying to get it done (at 8 bucks per) losing her cool and shedding a quiet tear Wonder what the Purewals or Haitians or Cossacks would have to say about this grim public reminder, wonder what this sad f*ck will do tonight... without his bus pass or sling sack or broken Turkish stems

In person body language for the quickest returns and obvious signs of disinterest and distress Telephones for voices; plain, animated, or faking it Letters for gesture, or a classic long slow catch up And texting... I know you got it I may even know you read it What's your excuse for delay? Perhaps a brain lapse, perhaps some monotonous busyness Perhaps I'm now an ignored fad, maybe you got better plans Yet, could it be, our collective muscle memory pines for saying things by other means?

We are mesmerized as the purple twilight darkens the day to night So serene as the sun radiates its last beams of light The holes in my heart that once reminded me of the sandy shore Have now been washed away by your love forevermore Lay down with me on the colorful coral beds all aglow Lets hide out from the world in the soundless surface below Alluring tongue brings forth this lustrous pearl of mine The sea calls out but has no hold in my lapse of time You drink in the cool dark depths of me And then you permeate in your very own sodden sea

Twilight at Sea
"Wait a year, they said, wait a year and things will get better. They think one single lapse of a human’s concept of collected time can change anything. A year she waited, she listened; she had to. But the year came, and the year then went, and nothing had changed. The girl was left with nothing. There was a hole, a chasm, never to be filled and never to be touched. There was nothing left and soon she could not find words, syllables, even sound." A year ago, this is what I expected. Funny how a character I created much darker than I, actually reflected the shadows of my soul. I never realized she was me, the darker me, the hidden me, the me I was after I lost Him. The depression is real. Its is apart of me. The swirling vortex I'm so afraid of I have to accept. But it doesn't mean I cannot smile. The turbulent tremors of my aching heart will forever be apart of me, but they do not control me. I control me. Control. That is something I thought I lacked, but I realize it is my strength. Without my strength, the dark wonderlands of my heart would have taken me already, to a place that would be darker than imagined. I didn't want the world to see me, because I didn't think they'd understand. And when it came to him, I was right. He didn't understand why I couldn't just **** it up and smile, why my outlook wasn't so positive, why I was looking at the world so darkly. Its a dark world, darling, if he knew me, he'd know its actually optimism most days. But no, all he saw was the darkness and how I could not overcome it and it broke me from him, like a rock from a shore. I felt like a rock with him, not a season, that is until I met more people who could understand, who could see my face behind these broken eyes. It murdered my never-ending love for him, because I could finally see I could do better, I could be happier. Bipolar 2. That's me, but it doesn't control me. Not anymore.

One fleeting chance to catch you between trapezes Yet my head was bowed, my thoughts immersed In another dream of another life that i longed to live A moments lapse careers you to that downward spiral Through all those safety nets, all those webs we wove Once so secure borne from our labour, love and toil Exposed now like a promise of night through a civil dawn As you fall through each of my declarations of trust You blow out the candles and knock out the lights Of celebrations and occasions now shattered like glass Blackness descending through this never blinking eye As those moments and time perpetually relive yet resist The blood still refusing to flow freely through my veins As i sit and wait for this evening coffee to run cold That i may embrace the sanctuary of night once more For I was one that could never dream in the dark No more than one who could ever make amends Between those two trapezes that signaled our end

Between Trapezes
Consider the sea’s listless chime: Time’s self it is, made audible,— The murmur of the earth’s own shell. Secret continuance sublime Is the sea’s end: our sight may pass No furlong further. Since time was, This sound hath told the lapse of time. No quiet, which is death’s,—it hath The mournfulness of ancient life, Enduring always at dull strife. As the world’s heart of rest and wrath, Its painful pulse is in the sands. Last utterly, the whole sky stands, Gray and not known, along its path. Listen alone beside the sea, Listen alone among the woods; Those voices of twin solitudes Shall have one sound alike to thee: Hark where the murmurs of thronged men Surge and sink back and surge again,— Still the one voice of wave and tree. Gather a shell from the strown beach And listen at its lips: they sigh The same desire and mystery, The echo of the whole sea’s speech. And all mankind is thus at heart Not anything but what thou art: And Earth, Sea, Man, are all in each.

I definitely won’t make any apologies for saying this and if anyone isn't careful she’ll leave them in a ditch. But don't get me wrong, I am not referring to any woman by that name only to the powers of deception that are played within the devil's game.                      When you consider how much trouble she has caused; without a moment’s lapse or of one repentant paused, in human affairs over the years since the advent of man; it’s a wonder that she hasn’t yet been flushed in the pan. In case you might just be wondering what I’m talking about Maya is the female equivalent of Satan who is a **** lout, and who plays around deceiving anyone that ignores the Truth which has been ingrained in our mind and heart since our youth. In fact anything that is Divine, noble, good and of inestimable worth Maya will try to turn it around into a thing seeming of much less birth. She thus plays around with our emotions causing one to doubt and fear where the reality of a situation would be to have faith and some cheer. Her main battle is waged within a vulnerable human heart and mind especially when an individual is undergoing difficulties of any kind. She is also the one who arouses anger, jealousy, lust, greed and pride, being full of all those traits herself and more she projects them outside. We must try and be aware of the extent of her subtle delusion and escape any entanglement in the net of her worldly illusion; that so many people are now caught up in without their real knowing not realising that Love and Truth are the things most worth showing. ______________________________

Cold damp skin, Midnight clouds deepen within, raindrops brew unto me as i whip out a tasteless, tarry, smoky cigar. Feeling the pain of nights rain, Train horn rings through my veins and I pierce my cold lips to the plastic casing of my fresh cigar to continue keeping me feeling alive. Opening tunes of musical melodies, bringing me a nostalgic time lapse of pain and pleasure. Thinking of my life as it passes me by, a bitter, strong taste of smoke hits my tongue, but i blow out the tar filled air out through my warm mouth. It continues to rain, when i always feel the pain. Living life as a misfit, unwanted, unloved and always forgotten. As my dart vanishes into the air, i look through the dark park across the street and remember last nights nostalgic memories of us dancing together to someone else's house party while the live band plays symphonies and rings unending beats into my hair.

pruning fingers from a cold dead hand to gain twenty index to power point a disjoint nexus, amongst ill guests to better frame the nameless tool, thumb-less apes could truck with - in bands of frantic lack-wits hording alabaster thumb-tacks to pin jokes, they don't get. a lapse in queens, the hard Chess... an hour glass with a grain of sand left - wearing a jet pack, to delay the turn next that checks your king. or telekinesis, ghost-grips the silicon in free fall... on pause to stave off a game lost. pruning fingers from another world of empty reach,  i grasp - at long last; the short girl with the long red hair - has two eyes, on task...scanning my true intent with deep shy, heavy lids; a bright green fixed on my nervous laughter. smitten; then, a Pabst Blue Ribbon kiss. and sweet disaster.

It's mortifying... The dilemma, the time lapse, the wait, the clock. The abstract that I so blatantly describe in my other writings. Time cannot be paused, stopped... The abstraction is so formulated into one diverse piece, the creation of such is appealing, yet reformative. Inconsequential, to the matter of science, myth, philosophy, conduct, and everything that exists beyond our mind. I hold onto this creation, because the conclusion of the matter holds many intellectual debates that cannot be won or answered. It is forbidden, it's lost. The question of right and wrong holds many definitions that are inexplicable to the concept of reality itself, when the utter illusion holds the introspection that philosophers like myself, cannot give a precise answer to. Time will let us be. It's a quiet storm, and I've never felt like this before. Sometimes I think, you're just too good for me.

am I you what am I without you its not your fault don’t cry for me don’t confuse me I love you don’t leave me don’t have *** like it's nothing don’t look at her naked body with the same eyes that you looked upon mine don’t let me breathe a life saving breath while you’re in her let me wallow in saturated agony let me be in pain let me feel the extent of my own emotions and eventually for a bee that carries three times its weight isn’t meant to last let me go into that valley of death that idyll that probable hell where I may but suffer the more, take me there. give me a smallest crumb more let me lick your fingers I must see if I could still summon that sweet syrup love that burns as it exits my bellybutton let it then lapse away so I may forget and when he finds his way back to my dirt trail I'll never stop walking I will pick him up and nourish his soul with my own so his stomach fills and he is more whole and I am more hole

If I skip a heartbeat .. I would end up dead You're tht one heartbeat I neva wanna skip. I keep waiting for you , thinking about you When the sun has painted the sky in pale tint of orange Though I'm stuck in dis time lapse... I cud skip a heartbeat for you ... Destiny conspired against us .. to separate us forever Miles and miles I have walked ...searching for you Evry thudder of my heart echoes wid your memories ...Coz I cud skip a heartbeat for you .... I loved you to the point of zenith nd the pain as well tht you gave me I hope to tranquil this pain of mine ..hence I cud skip a heartbeat for you ... I'll always be waiting for you , coz hope is the only rule tht the human race has thrived on Our destinies will collide again , once again the universe would conspire for you to be mine ... and that day again ...I promise I'll skip a heartbeat for you ....

I'LL SKIP A HEARTBEAT
There came quiet the colors of your cinnamon skin, its taste, persimmon spread in red syllables and quicksilver spills in the folds of this tickled silence, Laden with prophesy the white thought of love leaps through the tamarack pastures, suet to the shadows of dahlias, flesh you say, is water and its symmetry, a penetrating sound of pure ebullience, Love, in the pale baton of light you coax from cognac eyes, open my veins to every thorn in the garden, rumors of rain, say nothing and endure, Spread over panes of glass where butterflies drown in the sweat of our charms and moths drop from the true color of lunacy, cold depths lapse softly into my flesh, I hurt, in that quiet shatter of light, and from moth-eaten thighs you soak the ****** of earth with velvet tears and lavender, spread its dark balsam to quell the quick faith with sighs, as reluctantly, the soul speaks what the body has written, and gives-in to its asylum....

The Time Lapse
Every valley drinks, Every dell and hollow: Where the kind rain sinks and sinks, Green of Spring will follow. Yet a lapse of weeks Buds will burst their edges, Strip their wool-coats, glue-coats, streaks, In the woods and hedges; Weave a bower of love For birds to meet each other, Weave a canopy above Nest and egg and mother. But for fattening rain We should have no flowers, Never a bud or leaf again But for soaking showers; Never a mated bird In the rocking tree-tops, Never indeed a flock or herd To graze upon the lea-crops. Lambs so woolly white, Sheep the sun-bright leas on, They could have no grass to bite But for rain in season. We should find no moss In the shadiest places, Find no waving meadow-grass Pied with broad-eyed daisies; But miles of barren sand, With never a son or daughter, Not a lily on the land, Or lily on the water.

My mind has traveled off the earth axises Into a space with no cyber traffic Often infinite a flow of constant access No code needed, only a spoken dialect Google the word Violet, does that word remind you of violence? Or maybe the total opposite, peace like the strings of a violin please take this moment and wire it, store these words into a space in your brain. So that later you can admire them 2am is the time of the minds brilliance, yet the body become tiresome Eyes drift off as I begin to type again, lacking in composition, my current actions are nonexistent, because when you read this I will have lapse time. You will have time traveled to this state and this current line.

You took me to the park And we sat on the swings We talked for hours And I didn't even realize the lapse in time. You're proud of me, I think. Proud to be with me, I think, while you take pictures of me to show. I laugh and smile, and self conscientiously act, the usual first date second date I don't know what even. My interests, my problems. Your advice, your plans. In sync. I don't know where to go from here, I just hope it keeps on going.

PRAYER IS A TEAM SPORT [In the voice of your favourite over-excited rugby commentator.] We're inside the final quarter. We've seen a bone-cruncher of a contest today and there's no sign of a let up, the pray-ers gather for the next engagement, positioning themselves with practiced confidence, skillfully supporting each other, ready for the push.  You can see every knee and each hand bears the marks from this long muddied pray, red and brown staining every inch of their entwined limbs; - arms and hands holding fast. Front row. Second row. Back row. Digging in for the big push. The opposition has played an intelligent game, taking advantage of any lapse in concentration, any sign of tiredness, looking for any weakness to exploit.  The pray-ers know they can't afford any slips now, they need to keep up the pressure, maintain their advance deep in the opposition's half.  Every yard of gained ground needs to be defended. The pray-ers' Coach looks on - look at his smile! You can see the pride he has for his team, he's schooled them on every tactic of the opposition and now that training, that practice has paid dividends. This is a team of pray-ers that so clearly know each other well, supporting each other every step of the way. You can see their coordinated pray, their sustained effort and the sheer pleasure they feel when they are praying together. The pray-ers drive on.  The sound of their groans and deep breaths merge into one. There's a rhythm to it, a cadence as together they push and PUSH.  The opposition's footing is slipping, the pray-ers' momentum gains pace and, YES! the resistance collapses.  Oh, that must have hurt! But there's no time for complacency, the pray-ers re-form their line looking for the next opening, the next opportunity to push forward. This is a joy to see.  The Coach shouts his encouragement - this was never going to be an easy struggle; you can't dismiss the opposition - they are a seasoned though sometimes disorganised team and they can take you by surprise.  But as we've seen here today, the Coach knows that if his team of pray-ers keep to the plan and pray to their strengths, the opposition are surely in for a hiding. The pray-ers will triumph and they will take the winners' crown. - Now back to the action.

Prayer #9
PRAYER IS A TEAM SPORT [In the voice of your favourite over-excited rugby commentator.] We're inside the final quarter. We've seen a bone-cruncher of a contest today and there's no sign of a let up, the pray-ers gather for the next engagement, positioning themselves with practiced confidence, skillfully supporting each other, ready for the push.  You can see every knee and each hand bears the marks from this long muddied pray, red and brown staining every inch of their entwined limbs; - arms and hands holding fast. Front row. Second row. Back row. Digging in for the big push. The opposition has played an intelligent game, taking advantage of any lapse in concentration, any sign of tiredness, looking for any weakness to exploit.  The pray-ers know they can't afford any slips now, they need to keep up the pressure, maintain their advance deep in the opposition's half.  Every yard of gained ground needs to be defended. The pray-ers' Coach looks on - look at his smile! You can see the pride he has for his team, he's schooled them on every tactic of the opposition and now that training, that practice has paid dividends. This is a team of pray-ers that so clearly know each other well, supporting each other every step of the way. You can see their coordinated pray, their sustained effort and the sheer pleasure they feel when they are praying together. The pray-ers drive on.  The sound of their groans and deep breaths merge into one. There's a rhythm to it, a cadence as together they push and PUSH.  The opposition's footing is slipping, the pray-ers' momentum gains pace and, YES! the resistance collapses.  Oh, that must have hurt!

Spark kissed tinder burst into flames As men gathered in tight knots Stitched up a street riot Wood warmed and glowed Militant revolution minds The embers hummed with ashes As city streets burned Tyres and tubes were rolled home brew guzzled Fuelled the fires further more streets burned Water cannons hissed As men aflame with anger Lit fireplaces up alleyways With burning brain torches Taking the political fireplaces To the palace of no return. As soon as the government Dissolved into a carpet bombing puddle The big bear licked its paws. Author Notes The Revolution continues after a lapse of two months. Most politics start around a fireplace fuelled by alcohol and hate. Once lit the fireplace chatter moves into the street and spread rapidly. The Bear anticipates a breakdown of law and order and amasses its troops along the border. © Marshall Gass. All rights reserved, a month ago

Look at yourself All ***** Blackened with a sour demeanor Rip the top off Take a look inside An endless carousel See the stars And be thrown to the next page Never to come back again The stories for the next chapter Clenching to previous excursions Remnants, recollections of once new beginnings Once you start you can’t stop Can't turn and have second thoughts Once you’re out You’re gone Falling to pieces Smoking, dangling A mental spasm A lapse, relapse Push them away They speak too loud and bright A half baked scheme It’s something to pass the time Hedges of red Busted fence posts Inconspicuously Punctured shell To the roots Vibrations to my brain Purple furlough Roofs fall Pedal till they bleed Bleed dry to the bone Till the bone breaks And the pain grapples me into submission We ignore the fruits in front Of us for the mirages We pretend are real Putting In hope and taking out lies Riding the ignorant air of pride Crawl in desperation to continue It wouldn’t lie Stick to the plan Raise the voice So they hear and believe We won’t stop till it’s found They won’t stop till I’m in the ground Buried, out to pasture Fresh fertilizer here I hear his deceit meshed Deeply in his voice Yet I fool myself to Believe due to my denial of doubts It won’t let me continue Smile for no reason When I think about it Disorientation follows Don’t utter another word The grass is dead on both sides So let’s make them equally green Plant the seed Pack a lunch As we walk, we remember The lesson we were taught to never Tread here
