"messenger" poems
Millennial is what called in this generation, Everywhere here and there, There are always youths who really never care, And never been worried about their future. In Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Messenger, Are consists of follower, liker, reader and including seener, Loitering and using fake accounts just to gain a wholesome money, Even though that it is notorious, they still embark their blunt journey. Most millennials are undisputedly addicted to social media, Their lives depends on likes they are going to gain, They don't care if their faces might be inside of multi-media, And they don't even care if it will give them a pain. Some truly go beyond their limits just to have a lot of likes, Perhaps they are fame ***** but they don't care if someone strikes, Strikes every part of their body including their faces and such, Yet they don't care if it will hurt them too much. However, seeking attention in the cyber world isn't a good thing, Instead they should focus on things that are essentially free like a king, Because in this generation, too many people are unaware and careless, And some they didn't even notice that our environment is already full of fraud either hypocrite and genuine people are less.

Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed? It is a three day weekend, Every day a July Fourth, Celebrating freedom from the European tyranny, Of shaving smooth  every day! Splash water on my head, count with me, Five brush strokes as you can plainly see Is a classic case of overcompensating In my geling n' hair stylin' Brush my teeth, well, I hope 2 full minutes of rinsing with  CVS Green stuff, mouthwash, will have to suffice. Blast my deodorant both sides, Long and strong, wearin' now My bold blue *** husk of musk, Cause I am a very considerate fellow Who happens to really have stunk. Clean T- shirt and shorts, Yes, clean underwear too, Leaves me a whole minute to write this scribble. My flip flop noises coming down the hallway, Are the butler announcing our joint arrival, Me and my poem. Lest you think this is paean to men Another grand male boast, Be advised this ditty be writty By a man who, while no longer gritty, Just put jelly on his scrambled eggs And ketchup on his toast! Mmmmmmm there might be a poem Lurking in that too...

Three Minute Warning (A True Story)
Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed?

Your life is made of distant springs and falls, a straight route is not what you own for hurricanes and storms divert your path to new horizons. Will you find horseshoe ***** mussels, clams on the stopovers? Food awaits you if the shores are not ravaged by human greed, ignorance. Your resilience is written in B95's ordeals, a mosaic of adventures ingrained in his own cells. The threads of your trips assemble the places of Mother Earth connected in its roles; nothing is detached in the collective harmony of souls. Red knot shorebird, peaceful messenger, icon of strength without rage, your story is the universal flight of awareness waiting to be heard.

Time for some originality methinks this copy paste world of ours, well it stinks sincerity became a thing of the past as people got lazy and obsessed with fast No time for honesty bout the way that you feel originality gone at the turn of a wheel a right click here and a left click there and we use others words to show that we care Well enough of being lazy and thoughtless I say Lets go back and do things the old fashioned way Where you said what you meant and you meant what you said And took time to write words you knew would be read Its hard to wrap emails in ribbons and bows As for Facebook and messenger who knows where that goes So give me some paper and a pen every time And I will sit down and think, and then write you a line My words may make you smile and they may make you weep But I choose them with care to build something you'll keep.

I’m no author, novelist or poet. I’m just Me, And don’t I know it. I don’t need to be classified, As long as I’m writing, I’m satisfied. Typing out words, line by line, I don’t care if they don’t rhyme. I don’t care if my verses don’t scan: I’m not always an Iambic Man. I just say what I gotta say, I’m not worried about any pay. Words come to me without much bidding, The world of its evils I hope to be ridding. I love to spread lots and lots of Love, Bringing peace to all like a messenger dove. Things of beauty bring joy, John Keats rightly said, To make us sleep easy when we go to bed. So I’ll paint what I paint, And sing what I sing, Just letting those words Do their magical thing.

Tinanong ako ni Annah Kung maayos na tayo Ang sabi ko Ayon, normal naman. Normal Kelan pa tayo nauwi sa normal nalang? Ah. Naaalala ko na. Nagsimula tayong maging normal Nang isang araw hindi mo ko matingnan sa mata Ni hindi mo ko makausap kung hindi ka titingin sa baba At kapag naman kailangang ikaw Ang unang magsisimula ng usapan Dinaig pa ng kapal ng usok sa kalakhang Maynila Ang nakaiilang na atmospera Sa pagitan nating dalawa. Nagsimula tayong maging normal Nang hindi na tayo nagsasabay umuwi sa hapon Nang simulan **** isipin na ayos lang na umuwi nang walang paalam May kasabay ka kasing iba. Nagsimula tayong maging normal Nang nahihirapan na kong Magsimula ng usapan sa pagitan nating dalawa Sa kung paanong sinasalamin ng Messenger sa pamamagitan ng ellipses Ang mga katagang nais ko sayang itanong sa iyo Ay sandali, online naman si Annah, siya nalang ang tatanungin ko (Pwede kaya kong sumabay sa kanya?) Wag na nga. Alam ko naman ang patungo doon. Nagsimula tayong maging normal Nang tanungin mo ang kagrupo natin sa kung ano ang gagawin Gayong ako na kagrupo mo rin ang nasa iyong harapan Pumunta ka pa talaga sa kanya Ganyan ka kailang? Normal naman sa atin ang hindi mag-usap nang madalas, hindi ba? Normal lang naman kung makakalimutan **** may katulad ko Na bukas palad na tinanggap ka Noong mga panahong durog na durog ka na, hindi ba? At bahagi din ng pagiging normal natin Kung mas pipiliin **** burahin nalang ang mga nakaraan natin, hindi ba? Nilalamon ka ng kalungkutan. Nasasaktan. At isa akong napawalang kwentang kaibigan Kasi hindi kita napatahan Sa mga panahong tahimik **** isinisigaw Ang mga bagay na sa tingin mo ay walang makauunawa Wala akong karapatang masaktan Kasi hindi ako naglakas-loob na tanungin Kung anu-ano ang mga bumabagabag sayo Hindi ko dapat indahin ang sakit ng pang-iiwan mo sa akin Gayong para na rin kitang iniwan Nang hayaan kitang unti-unting kumalas sa pagkakaibigan natin Wala akong karapatang manumbat Kasi hindi ko man lang sinubukang tanungin Kung ano nang nangyayari sa iyo Kaya mo pa ba? At hinding hindi ko rin aangkinin Ang karapatang sa una'y wala na sa akin Na maging sandalan mo Sapagkat hindi ko man lang nasabi Na ayos lang na ikaw ay humugot ng lakas sa akin Ayaw mo, oo Kasi sa tingin mo pabigat Ayaw mo, oo Kasi sanay ka na sa demonyong kalungkutan Na paulit-ulit lumalamon sayo Minsan nawawala, ngunit laging bumabalik Pagbalik-baliktarin ko man ang sitwasyon Hindi lang ikaw ang nang-iwan Iniwan din kita Iniwan kita Patawad Patawad Pakiusap, patawarin mo ko. Madaling makalimutan ang mga magagandang bagay Ngunit mahirap iwaksi mula sa makulit na isipan Ang idinadaing ng pusong nasugatan at patuloy na nahihirapan Kaya bilang pakunswelo sa tulad kong nagmahal sayo Iniisip ko na lamang na isa ako sa mga magagandang bagay sa buhay mo Kaya madali mo 'kong nakalimutan. Huli kong bulong sa sarili 'Ayos lang 'yan. Makakausad ka rin. Magtiwala ka.' Uusad at uusad ka rin. Kaibigan, patawad ulit.

MAHAL KITA MAGPAKAILANMAN( I love you forever) filipino tongue
i. Salamat, I was abjected now uplifted Salamat, for the gift of life thou hath gifted; Salamat, for the lung's thou hath given Salamat, now I'm free, not a slave, I'm living. ii. Salamat, for thy smile in the dark Salamat, thy beauty is God's spark; Salamat, once moribund, now shining Salamat, I'm moving forward, not rewinding. iii. Salamat, day's ahead art full of grace Salamat, queen of Yahweh, messenger to the human race; Salamat, forever we wilt be Salamat, empress of Asia, mine Reyna, mine sweet. ©Brandon nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl Jane nagley dedication-filipino rose

Salamat, mine Jane, mine sweet....
We haven't talked in awhile Your voice like silk Bringing a smile with it Something I haven't done for months I talk to you on Twitter The bird a messenger to our secret conversation Every time a white message box pops up Every time I get a notification from you My heart skips a beat For every word you write, every sentence Is worth the couple seconds it takes to read We have a lot in common We both have eating disorders That couldn't be more different We love the same music As we rock out on Facetime And laugh at my shyness and stupidity Yet without social media We would have never met. I would never have smiled. I would never have lived.

Social Media
The thing, he said, would come in the night at three From the old churchyard on the hill below; But crouching by an oak fire's wholesome glow, I tried to tell myself it could not be. Surely, I mused, it was pleasantry Devised by one who did not truly know The Elder Sign, bequeathed from long ago, That sets the fumbling forms of darkness free. He had not meant it - no - but still I lit Another lamp as starry Leo climbed Out of the Seekonk, and a steeple chimed Three - and the firelight faded, bit by bit. Then at the door that cautious rattling came - And the mad truth devoured me like a flame!

Happy Days
‘We live with forest’ and ‘forest live with us’! Tallest tree of the forest is the symbol of our hope, The Python is our messenger of past, Blossoming flower of grassland are our depiction of smile, Birds are the our fortune teller, Earthworms are our marker, Butterflies are our messenger of worship, We design our life with them, They are our image of clan and family, We can’t live without them, Our aspiration is tuned with their respiration, We are cheerful with them! *** Now, out of the blue, you arrived and say we are poor! So, you will build industry for us and give job to us! But for that, You occupy our land, our forest, our friends and respiration, We never thought! ‘You are such a pitiable’ That you can’t build anything without our forest, But you say, ‘we are poor’! **** Please, go away from our blessed place Don’t wipe out our friend! We are rich and happy with the blessing of our friend There is no need of your industry, Please go away Leave us alone we will design our destination.

Depart and vacate our forest!
There is a gentle thought that often springs to life in me, because it speaks of you. Its reasoning about love’s so sweet and true, the heart is conquered, and accepts these things. ‘Who is this’ the mind enquires of the heart, ‘who comes here to ****** our intellect? Is his power so great we must reject every other intellectual art? The heart replies ‘O, meditative mind this is love’s messenger and newly sent to bring me all Love’s words and desires. His life, and all the strength that he can find, from her sweet eyes are mercifully lent, who feels compassion for our inner fires.’

There is a Gentle Thought
I bow down my head straight into the pillow. I whine a funny sound and wonder about duty. Life seems to be all and all seems to be nothing but disappointment. Anointed to be dead from the first time I was alive. I strive to show hope, to be a silent messenger, but duty seems to hold me back. The great deep red within always wants to fight back. Smack the wrong until it's right, snack on the souls so easily broken by a single word that refutes their madness, while my face turns to a smile. Walking a mile in my shoes is being hungry for relief. Starving for sanity shows my vanity.

#Ogun owed Oxun for the fee he paid to divorce Yemayá in the watery deep. Babalu Aye‘s messenger delayed (no *** in the bargain – price too steep) until San Martín, divine caballero deceived the third wife of el Indio Guerrero. (Obatala‘s beats got lost in transit the rhythm robbed by macumba-bandit.) Eleguá cleared paths for He Who Opens Pores. Black roosters smoked puros at midnight. Outdoors, Santa Muerte was asked to turn down the noise so Nana Buluku could get some sleep. As she gathered Ashé, reduced to a heap of Yoruba fool’s gold anointed with blood Oduduwa pretended he understood; but his mother-in-law knew he never would until Olódùmarè returned from the feast having sacrificed roosters while facing east. The santero drew me a pictogram to protect me from forces my poem conjured but the blood of a sacrificed perfect lamb affords more protection, I knew. He wondered.

I think Poetry found me very early, From somewhere in mama's womb. Hooked to her umbilical cord firmly. I heard something like a tiny bomb. It was the sound of the talking drum, Heralding the arrival of another grio. So with gratitude, I said thanks mom, And to the world, I said a very big hello. Of course, I used the language of babies, I cried and breathed in my very first air. This was my first sight of the ladies They smiled as they washed my hair. My very first poem was a sad prayer. It was written when I was very hungry I was hopeless, I had only one dollar, And no real prospect of ever making it. So I took out my old used notepad, UnfortunateIy, I had no pen to write with. I wrote with a charcoal found in the yard, And I wrote many long lines on my wall. I wrote everything I had to tell God Sadly, I couldn't write them all. I cried in anguish to the Lord, Asking If He had forgotten me. Of Course, I got no immediate answer, But years later my answer came. It came in the form of a letter. Addressed to me, ten years later It came later but it felt better, Instantly my struggle was all over! The first love letter I wrote was poetry, It was childish, unstructured and ugly. It was written to a girl, she was pretty, She read it and smiled, I wasn't so lucky. Crushed, yet I pretended to be strong I walked away but ran all the way home. I cried in anguish and wrote a love song. The lines were very sad, I felt all alone. But I knew it was my first real rejection. So I tried writing again, this time to me. I was very focused, I was on a mission. Finally, it finished and I wrote my name. Unfortunately, the answer was the same, There and then I knew I had no game, So I reconciled and just took the blame. Fast forward,and many years later, I found the subject of my love letter. I wrote a note to her on messenger. I was optimistic because I wrote better. I was emboldened by my poetic power. Once again,the reply came to me later, This time it was a resounding yes! It felt so wonderful, thanks to poetry And the universe I didn't make a mess.   #IvanBrooksPoetry© 7/22/2018

he gulps me into peaces __ led to his bed. eyes kissed and asked to come and go to where I dream and imagine but do not think.   he gulps me into pieces.   oh my god oh my god oh my god.   and when he sees I am at last in peaceful,   speaks.   god could but desires not to answer all who call out to him. thus the human was invented: an imperfect messenger a version of his image that answers you in pieces of peace as best as any human can

he gulps me into peaces (explicit)
She's somewhere in the sunlight strong her tears are in the falling rain she calls me in the wind's soft song and with the flowers she comes again. The loneliness and misery are silenced by a melody. She's somewhere and I hear her sing her words in timeless memory. Stay the course, light a star, change the world where ere you are. Somewhere the night wind carries her the silver moon beam lights her way Onterees is her messenger and every sun and moon her stay Dark voices from the shadows call but listen and her voice recall Moriah, Moriah Stay the course, light a star, change the world where ere you are

You ran from us I'm glad you did Because if I had gotten my hands on you You would've been dead in 2 seconds flat You hurt her I hate why you keep smiling Why are you smiling You hurt her So why do you keep smiling Your stupid smile isn't going to fix things this time Jeremiah So stop Or I can make you stop Because If I had gotten to do What I had wanted to do to you You would have no reason to smile You didn't need your own little messenger team Just because you don't have the ***** to tell her But you can tell everyone else "Were not really together" "Were friends with benefits" "We were never together" Then you tell her this "I'm busy" Well end it stupid Don't keep her wondering If you even think about her anymore She waited for you Waited for reassurance Waited for you to give her the time of day Waited for you to realize You are dating Well... were dating But Jeremiah She isn't a dog She can't keep waiting for you You need to realize she isn't a toy   You can't just use her when you want too Excuses So many BS excuses Because for 5 days You ignored her for 5 days Making excuses To save your own *** But your plan back fired So who's the idiot now I hate you She hates you We all hate you Don't talk to me Don't talk to us And for the love of god Never Ever Talk to her again Because I will Cut off your ***** So you can't ever get what you want

Jeremiah **** Off
Concerned, my wellbeing doesn’t come into it neither does my wife’s; but worried I am, for my children’s future, my children children’s future and for my great, great grandchildren too. I listen with horror, I watch and shudder, I read and feel misery; when the wind blows, because time enough at last,( or is it?), I gaze at the old man in the cave, with a little peace and quiet, will it be shelter skelter? Are we in quarantine? Chosen? For a new place, alas, Babylon with perhaps Dr Strange Love? Maybe there is no soul within the man, unless the balanced man became unbalanced, what reason has a man got, (even if he’s people are suffering from punishment), To justify such actions? Perhaps Pak Pong-ju is not a man, Could he be God’s apprentice God’s messenger God’s terminator, to emulate ***** and Gomorrah or Pompeii? Why should we shoot the messenger? If this is the case then truly I should be concerned, my wellbeing doesn’t come into it neither does my wife’s; but worried I am, for my children’s future, my children children’s future and for my great, great grandchildren too.

Moment of Explosion Approaching Fast
"Tick-tock," says the clock. "Haha, yea...," I reply. Maybe I'm a bad friend, But I'm jealous of the clock. Sure, I love hanging around with the clock, But wouldn't it be great to be him? You might say I'm ticking with envy. (Whatever that means) Beautifully crafted, Always moving forward, Always being looked up to. Even when someone tells you you're slow or wrong, You keep moving forward regardless. Man wants to reverse you, And constantly fights against you, But I know you're just misunderstood. "Don't shoot the messenger," as they say. Stay strong clock. We'd be lost without you.

The Clock
i why don´ t they just make a machine that does our living,lily,darling, save a lot of messing.. we live all these years and then slowly our memory depletes them (though they say all memory lives within..) if we were programmed at the beginning some kind of limiting of emotion ambition etc.. alpha to epsilon brain washing soma.. *** but no reproduction endless fun order.. is belonging art gone the way sure.. simple dogma love or go love..* ii lily says love is meaningless unless we are ready to die.. who is.. would i.. i stood high to the very devil.. fall over weebil..ha.. but to die and see sun rise no more.. little bird sing in the silent dawn sweet voice eternal greeting.. blithe angel o children of the future.. messenger of the gods.. loyal gaurdian to ever and never.. outside and know a silent cosmos.. be born anew to heart be found..? *through-out the poem are references to the brilliant novel brave new world.for which i make no apology but as a mark of respect to great talent of aldous huxley..

why don ́t they just make a machine
* In the end Life numbs YOU Why are you pushing me away? With this final masquerade Given UP In pieces Crawling away I am powerless Bringing me One step closer To Somewhere I belong *With Heavy heart What I've done? LOVED YOU..! I'm a paper-cut survivor Let me bleed it out Let me burn it down I've no more sorrow What's this new divide? I'm Breaking the Habit of LIFE Shadow of the Day elongating I'm Waiting for the end I remain the messenger of LOVE Lying for YOU from life Guilty all the same From the inside Let me crawl back in your life In the castle of glass Give a Place for my head Otherwise I'll be gone I'm out of time now Traveling the roads untraveled With black heart I am rider of the storm Living the Battle Symphony Burning in the skies So don't let down me I'm victimized So slow Ya roll Let me hit the floor Away from lies greed misery See Inside me In the end we made it with YOU I LOVE In the end ********* Love can save our LIVES *

In The End
No sun this morning. Rather, Austin struck gray Thru and thru. There is a bite to god’s madness--16 years Of sun before I came--16 years Of fall, rain, fertile soil raised by Red star. You, obscured in morning, take my Love out my mouth, my messenger in railed Kisses.
