A Strong Shelter

Eyes locked on grim clouds
As if staring them down helps
Prepare for what's next...
Stop slacking and start building
A strong shelter from the storm

Premium Member Sinister Minister

Here lie the remains of a minister To the ladies he did administer His charms never lacking, He was seldom slacking But his motives seemed somehow sinister.

Meditating the Blues

take my thoughts to the cushion
and let the stillness drit me away.
take my thoughts to the cushion,
and let stillness drift me away.

I've been slacking  on the time,
to let my mind and soul unwind.
Need to let stillness drift
all my cares away.

Premium Member God Doesnt Make Junk

God doesn’t Make Junk By: Miracle Man 9-8-2019 Never neglect, giving God full measure. Slacking will surely, bring HIM displeasure Don’t be found shirking, for HE knows your heart. God never makes junk, But HE does deal in art.

The Invalid

THE INVALID

Speak to me of winter,					
Of icy winds that keen and cry,
And shake the ivy strung by the lake
And push the clotted clouds along the sky.

To all a season, 
And ever a season must end– 
Life is born in a cry
And dies in a slacking of the wind.

We Are Slacking On Our Manners

Respect is fading way too fast
Is it buried in the past
No one knowing how to be
Sweet, kind, nice and neighborly
Please and thank you's used no more
Can we open up the door
Letting care come back once more
Hand in hand we will unite
Hatred isn't fair or right

Work

Here I kneel welder in hand
Fumes blown by the fan.
Hot slag cooling down
Sweat dripping on the ground.
Back aching,knees are cracking 
Boss yelling don't be slacking.
Floor plates to weld,steel to pin
Put your used butts in the bin.
Bolts to tighten,don't be frighten
Harness off so you don't fall off.

Table of Kings

Table of Kings
Like minds like things
A combination of everything
Empowering uplifting
Conversations elevating
Powerful Minds together
No separating
Moving forward 
No back-tracking
No time for hating or lazy-man slacking
Table of Kings Table of Kings
Future ahead but the presence 
Of greatness is in the making

Acrostic

APATHETICALLY I APPROACH THIS TASK
ACADEMIC FERVOR RUNNING THIN
“FOR IS IT NOT TIME TO SLEEP?” I ASK-
FAVORING FINALE, I HOLD UP MY CHIN.
HONESTLY, BETTER COULD BE DONE.
HONESTY IT IS NOT THAT I AM LACKING;
COMPOSITION BECOMES LITTLE FUN,
DILIGENCE LOST, I AM SLACKING!

Unspoken Affections: Part-VI

staring into your eyes but 10 seconds  seemed bit harder
hot flush from your stare and I felt my cheeks grew warmer
your face slacking happiness and heart covered in dark gray
i wanted to whisper you ‘my love’ and tell you i’m here for you
putting your faith in me, you uttered your agonizing  account
if i tell you ‘I love you’, would you let me share your pain?

Always Wish You Well

Oh my goddess, she is modest; in the lessons she has served. 
She makes me wonder, but not uncover; for my thoughts I feel reserved. 
And each situation, I sense vibrations; their mood: be love be hate. 
But why the barrel; no void but sterile, I can't opinionate. 
And for the lacking; the voice is slacking, the words I cannot spell. 
So here I sit, without a quip, but always wish you well.

I Live In Color

Kick back,
School in full swing,
Full tilt,
Tilting off the chair,
Dye on my fingers, in my hair,
The color love, the color lust,
The color spirit, purple,
The color Obedients turn in the fall,
Lie in the swivel chair,
A computer screen in glow,
Call me a violet,
Growing in metal and cement,
Slacking off,
Looking for Ambition
I’ll start on that tomorrow…
When the sun rises and I turn red.

Premium Member What Hasn'T Amassed

Dark, heavy, layered dreary clouds
Bisk winds whip trees and grass
Cars still here and there seeking
What each home hasn't amassed

Will each home be filled with much love
Or will love, warmth be lacking
No one knows but those there living
Children know the slacking

Dark clouds roll in from the southeast
Filled with ocean's moisture
Will they drip their cold water load
Like tears of lost lover

I Was Defected

You had things wrecked with your Nope
And I could no longer cope:
I, who had the cleanest hope
Of conquering Rugged Slope,
Soon slacking for what I lacked
That your could give but out backed;
Showing how words strong zeal crack
And down the sound idea hack...

My defeat was your "Loud Nope",
Running a school fought with rope:

Twenty years ago you did 
And a Praised Talent was hid;
Presently A Mad Idea 
Poetry I face Top Gear

The More You Do a Thing

The more you do a thing, you’ll find,
The better that it gets.
By slacking off, it’s obvious
That you will have regrets.

Developing a skill or else
Rehearsing for a show,
It’s repetition that you need
To blossom and to grow.

Commitment and determination
Are the surefire keys
To open up potential,
Though to varying degrees.

For only those who give their all
Will bask in their success,
While slackers’ outcomes will belie
The efforts they profess.

Unloved

I too have been a victim 
Of broken promises
Extended lies
At war with the world around me
At war with myself
Seeking out answers
And sabotaging my health
Went from zero to twenty
Covering my face with deceit 
With happiness
One void became plenty
Drinking passion when my heart was feeling empty
Collapsing 
Crying
In Doubt
Dying.  Slacking.
Cracking my heart to see
Oceans burst out
Watching them fade
Drying little streams
Loving the wrong things
And unloving me
