You've taught me not to forget you
by forgetting me.
by ignoring my failed attempts
in reaching your ****** territories.
by splitting my heart into two.
you've effortlessly pulled the plug,
you treat me like an canine
who's sleeping on the rug.
you make me wait forever
as if there's forever.
you've taught me to be patient,
a one way ticket giver.
Heart's crushed and mind's free.
You've taught me to leave you cold
by leaving me

Do you know a place
Jowlough Oct 2010
Do you know a place
where no one's fooled?
All are equal,
All are true

All has fair rights,
Free as a bird,
Friendship's tight,
No ****** words.

Take me to somewhere,
where love is above,
higher than religion,
Has wings like a dove.

a place of music,
that shapes our soul.
Laws are just basics,
Doesn't mean at all.

Let me seek a place,
of paradise and sanctuary,
where I could live another phase,
With my love, -- forever peacefully.

Stage Flight
Jowlough Dec 2010
I am ready to go,
Prepared for the battle,
Stood out the test,
Decisions were settled,

I will whisper gently,
my finishing words,
Throw out my Prayer,
My shield and sword!

Enter the stage,
Oh what a nice crowd,
I hope my nervous heart,
will never hound!

My warm greetings,
reached out a mile,
My knees are shaking,
But I'll get by with I smile.

As I step on the pedals,
and as the beat bites,
get ready to rock,
for this is the time of our lives!

A Poem for my brothers
Jowlough Jan 2016
As far as your day goes,
Troubles will lure around the corner.
Timed to test your metals,
Ignite your mind to open
Towards a kind shower of ideas
Utilizing IQ and EQ in balance.
Defining your character in crisis
Empowering calm decision and basis.

The stranger
Jowlough Jul 2015
She looks at me
Like a wandering maverick
Exploring my soul
Through the stems of my retina.

Travelling to my body
Through the feel of my pulse,
As she grasped my hand
Lingering on bold emotions

Baffled with blurred questions;
Peceptions nor judgement
Was never clear and printed
Vague intentions.

Softly spoken words
On a gloomy bipolar weather
With a cup of brewed happiness,
Yes, we are strangers.

Practically Speaking.
Jowlough Feb 2011
Practically speaking,
you don't need to explain,
we are just humans,
and it's just the same.
we are on opposite sides,
altered currents and direction,
I would like to thank you,
for your early anticipation.

Let us try to open up,
open our eyes
and let yourselves in.
stop and realize the missing pieces,
that we are trying to solve,
the lacking elements
for this to revolve.
Stare at the opportunities,
It is coming at your view.
Do not just wait there,
and it might just go!
for the ice is now melting,
and the heat is on.
We have grown up so fast
and I am blown.
every insult encountered
is just felt and absorbed.
we are underdogs here,
who gets tired and bored.
hunts and seeks on what is good,
when we're hungry, we seek food,
when we're down low,
we want to be sky-high!
even for a moment, to float in sky.

Practically speaking,
you don't need to explain,
we are just humans,
and it's just the same.
we are on opposite sides,
altered currents and direction,
I would like to thank you,
for your early anticipation.

Chapter II
Jowlough Jan 2011
On a height of your victory,
Crows will follow,
Waiting for an attack,
flock's going for the ****.

Coming and striving,
you've sacrificed sweat and blood.
when you're about reach the peak,
come hear the shout of the mob.

and they're doing everything,
to pull you down.
come up to some plans,
trying to shoot you out.

and they're doing everything,
to utilize your smallest mistakes,
highlight little glitches,
make it for pedestal's stake.

but you know you have the heart,
Transparent as clear glass,
but as unbreakable and strong,
as precious and nice diamonds

but you know you have the guts,
to shield the burning fire,
they can take away your Image,
but definitely, not your burning desire.

but you know you have the mindset,
to block their dark doings,
to set yourself free,
and drop off those gloomy feelings.

Finish what we've started,
Don't stop, we have gone too far.
Keep going on and shoot the crows,
stay on the ground,  and keep your Stars

We are what we say
Jowlough Nov 2011
you can say that you are what you wear,
either, what you eat.
imagery concerns  yourself,
but we are what we think.

ideas that we speak,
our minds we express,
are interpreted by people,
but often digested less.

we are what we say,
words we write and speak,
money cannot give you good image,
if the attitude is sick.

You can pretend to be roman,
even if honestly you're from china
but at the end of the day what remains,
output your saying is the one to blame


The way we see things
positive or negative, can go west or east,
it depends on us being active or passive.
if we could be a turtle or a beast.

I am no guru, genius or Einstein
but we can make a stand in this play,
you can express all you want,
but **we are what we say

A love at its purest
Jowlough Jun 2011
A Love so pure
runs through my veins.
stayed inside
my vicious brain,

A girl who's mine,
and stayed true,
inspite of everything
inspite of the blue.

A love so pure,
pounds my heart strong,
I know this time,
I cannot be wrong

A girl who's kind
her heart is gold.
beauty in her eyes
cannot be sold

A Love so pure,
that melts my heart,
realized the worth
of this yong divine

A girl who's part,
Can never be replaced,
A love at its purest,
will  make our days

Jowlough Dec 2013
I looked on the walls
just a passer by.
reflection of your imagery
is nearer as it gets.

far away from peripherals
Expecting a sudden peek
a burst of emotions
everytime our eyes meet.

in my mind i say hello,
and in yours i heard your greeting.
we talk through our gaze
and our heart's constant beatings

meetings and short outings
attentions not be given?
I do not need you now
but your eyes is what i'm looking.

I never needed someone
but I'm attached and locked.
a step away from this
hurts and gives me cuts

never will I need
but I value our attachments.
never a real value;
oh yes. you, a hidden sentiment.

I Lost
Jowlough Nov 2012
I was lost,
I was buried.
Unable to inhale,
in high spirits.

I lost,
My control,
I dream,
I fall,

into your eyes,
I melt,
your smile,
I've kept

Realized,
Saw the light.
let's do this,
make this right.

I've fell,
We've learned.
Experiences,
hard earned.

I lost,
Sacrificed.
So lost,
In your eyes.

Good old times
Jowlough Jun 2013
We hit the road
without early notice.
sun had risen,
roads are wet.

Instant trippings,
with favorite friends.
only good vibrations
we drive to city ends.

we ride under the sun,
but the clouds are knocking,
the bid of rain
the skies we're looking

Remembering good times,
tummies full and bloated.
Funny how time flies
impurities are there, but melted.

End.
Jowlough Dec 2010
Cold weather makes its entry,
we are still burned with confusion,
Come gather your brain-washed army,
Make another move, another evolution

Well, we'll see what happens next,
as I enjoy puffing my smoke,
Come use all your ammunitions,
We'll appreciate, disperse communication

Your systems ignite with me,
too many lies have been queued,
Each has a pre-requisite on each other,
In the end, it took toll, not for the better.

Save your soul by yourself,
For I have disconnected it with mine,
Lessons are there to ponder,
Line by line, We'll get better some time

Save your city for the last time,
Spread your wings, take the lead,
For you have full control now,
but I'm here to back up in case you can't

Do your usual commands,
to the mirror and see for yourself,
This will be the last time,
but still I will be watching at bay


Goodbye.

Real Love
Jowlough Mar 2013
You've effortlessly opened the gates
I've built for years,
you've played with my thoughts
without hesitation and fear.
You had my open mind
deciphering your never ending mysteries,

that curiosity that never withers.
These moments to cherish and save,
future proof our relationship,
Honest love you've thought and gave.

Nemesis lover
Jowlough Sep 2010
Ten years ago, I'm not the same
I'm with a girl, who's hard to tame.
she enjoyed every bit of my little fame,
I trusted my heart, but we got no gain

In the beginning we are good,
saying "forever" in any mood.
I never expected how this bond will evolve,
evolved into a nightmare, seemed impossible to solve.

She started to roar like a wild lion,
as I hear her, I found a reason to die on.
Never expected this kind of turn-out would come,
you're opposite from the way you were in day one!

few years had past, it is still the same,
murmurs fell as I felt the pain.
No improvement, still as is,
I think I am locked in my own nemesis!

The things I'm hearing.
You know I hate to believe,

Who will I trust,
you know who I am picking,
You owned my trust
from the very beginning.

I was alone
walking in a slumbered place,
nothing special.
until you gave me taste.

Nothing different,
adjacent to flowers in bloom,
spring had begun,
smile hath erased my doom.

Until the leaves of cherry blossoms
fell into my feet,
Twinkles of your eyes
amazed me to my feet.

until your spirit freed,
awakened sensations.
immediately addicting,
I saw the passion

Just as I closed my eyes
you left without a reason
kissed me goodbye;
Summer to winter, a change of seasons.

Fake House
Jowlough Nov 2017
Fake house I've invented
To elongate my lift
To play the advisor
And pick up lines
To fullfill satisfaction
For you to hear
The tunes I've lined up
Carefully hand picked
Normalized to hear you to bits
Withstanding the insensitive mob
On the common highway
Just to hear giggles
And shiny sun rays
To the invitation
I won't commit
And I make a long turn
So just you won't hint
That the fake house is ****
And my intentions are equipped
And the light punches
You bored on my shoulders
Stinged and milked my cows
To the point where I came up
With the so called fake house.

to take risk,
the time is might.
to let her dance,
into a trance,
to give her wants,
my fitting pants.
to let her sip
and reach the tip,
to kiss her lips,
i'll make her trip.
burn her eyes,
make her drift,

passion's uplift.
I see the fire,
In her attire,
Stop the choir,

This space
ain't a good space.
tis' dark and heavy
hearts that's dark and gloomy.
this space is for the lonely,
a deep dark cave.
you find no love in here,
for life's sake.
you see no heaven in here
if you wish.
better go away
run as fast, swim like a fish.
This space have no rainbows
flowers, plants and bees.
there lives a wicked man
that no one really  sees.
a heavy hearted man
without companion nor any foes.
who walks on his own
with his ***** toes.
who's judged by the way he looks,
questioned by many
doomed as it is.
life's not read through the books.
this space,
is hidden and secret.
few have seen it;
but no one wants to be in it.
no one appreciates.

Pawn Pit
Jowlough Jun 2015
I need an antedote
To cure my desire
A need to be accepted
A metal to the fire.
To refine and sharpen,
A sword that is once mighty.
Aligning my bearings
Debts that was once empty.
Yes, I am empty.
I realized I am a lost man,
Striving badly in a jungle,
Of misery and expectations,
Actualizations,
Theories i suppose to give
Than to choke
And I am fed
By my own pride
While wandering
And seeking for the light
Half dead, struggling
Grasping. Enough.

Obsession
Jowlough Jan 2016
Ride against the waves of impunity,
You little fugitive of your own debts
Carry your despaired thoughts,
Happiness in scarcity.

In sin and in doubt of own mind
Join the mob of your clumsiness.
Waving goodbyes are too dim,
Too blurred and dimmed to be blessed.

As you face your cloaked enemies
All of them you see, are not clapping.
On the side of your observant eye
As you flourish your winnings.

As you beg for your emotions
To come back like a rebel child
Wandering through this black night
But not forgotten inside.

As you thirst for more of you
In your own catastrophic guessing,
What a wild turn around it is,
Ah, Unpredictably obsessing.

Photograph
Jowlough Jul 2015
She still dwells in me
In all the songs I sing
The melodies I hum
Brings joy from within.

The feeling she gave me
Never fade, nor left me.
In my darkest hours
In months and years.

Distance is taking its toll
Daily I seek for her light,
drinking a cup of coffee
While our shoulders are aligned

Inside of me there's a part of her
That never fades away.
A short but fruitful company,
Incomparable I must say

Staying up late again,
Time flies in a snap.
I found myself again
Looking at your photograph.

Drenched in grief
I know you and I is just a dream
Holding and kissing her lips
Is a sanctuary I cannot redeem.

The days that she's autonomous,
but she needs much of your care,
don't miss to pamper her,
despite of the cold approach she bares.

She's independent,
nonetheless she's really warm in person,
she makes you feel she has it all,
like she learned all of the lessons

and when I'm near her,
It gives the feeling like I am the missing piece,
no, I am not daydreaming
but this thought really has it.

That is when I stared into her eyes,
I peeked through her beautiful soul,
that shiver it is,
this love is really getting a hold.

I want to hold her now,
if she permits to.
Kiss her every time
When she's in to.

Like we've met each other
long time ago;
like a puzzle that fits in seamlessly,
I think I'll give this a go

but that is, if we were on the same page,
yes I'm secretly hoping;
praying to make it with her,
fulfill this love that's blossoming.

You're a dead man
Jowlough Jan 2013
When that inner kindness in your heart
gets tired and weary.
blessing is the silence;
that inner joy you see from darkness.

The joy from the fifth finger,
is your sanctuary.
as the time flies
whenever you are lonely.

When you feel that it's time to go,
and you do not care anymore.
on what others could say,
you are stronger than before.

When the pain inflicted
is much more than your spectrum
on how would you care
and on how you've previously assumed

When you've grown
and you've realized you are so alone.
as you've known yourself much better
and the other emotions are just pure emotions.

and the value of it was forever lost.
when your place once was now lost;
then the old you is now buried;
Just a dead man waiting to be buried
Ah life.
Jowlough Apr 2014
All you got are gems,
yet you seek for its scratches,
you view the flaws,

You seek for imperfections,
not realizing your baggage.
you give us the money,
and ***** works, we engage.

You give funny excuses
in times of despair and hope.
blame the lacking of things
in our system you've taught.

while you sit pretty
in your lucrative suede chair,
waiting for good old results
as if we've cared.

you breakdown from panic
blaming game you tend to impose.
well you show us a class act
In the level of the kingdom horse.

you care only for your jewels
praising is your rare grail

From your deepest slumbers;
Fill in the gaps and voids,
The blanks and the emptiness.

Where the rejuvinating juice pours,
The unusual shape of your lips
When the mail man lures.
I will wake you up,
From the spurts of excitement,
Draw a steady line
Of vague resentment,
Turning the tides
Of the tables bringing the whole,
Bring shivers of joy and laughter
Redefining the needed tools.
I will wake you up
From your middle mind dementia
Turn your knobs on
When the spirits takes over
Lover, you foolish creature.
Sleeping from the reality
When your deal breaker's a misser.

All the cuts of so called midnight outings
Doesn't seem to count
The Cranium says complains
But the bother's unaware

Those shingalings and twindlings
Was a bust atleast for you
Never locked a stare is it just me who gives a care

You give me a transcendental glue
In my mind you run things that shivers me and woos

A roundabout of shallow ride for you
But a heart attack of all sorts for me
And a leaking faucet of tendencies
All incidentally brewed.

The arrival's like a scene that is embedded in my head
Precision is the name that you game
Never had an interest and had to fool myself
Stories left unclaimed

A roundabout of shallow side for you
But a heart attack of all sorts for me
And a leaking faucet of tendencies
All incidentally brewed.

Are full of decisions
Withered with thoughts
Failed attempts and secret missions

I am a fool for one

Somewhere in her soul,
rests a beautiful spirit,
untamed but decisive,
careless and free.

Which in return,
the most beautiful thing I've seen,
when morning permits us,
to bond and break free.

To the bright coffee sunshine,
opens an array of opportunities.
to be a blessing to me,
to the world and to everyone.

I may be amazed
on how nature battles with her,
how she paved way,
for happiness to come in,

How she makes and finds issues,
when I found her laugh as medicine.
How she keep those rare values,
just when in others can't be seen

Somewhere in her soul,
are the proving grounds and happy days.
I am in love;
to her spirit and all of her ways

Expectations made me
like a rotten corpse
Waiting patiently
Like a dead tired horse

Assumption was a basket
Full of false hopes
Anger control
Put away the ropes

Take me where
There is equality
In taking love
And giving is in duality

When sensitivity meters
To negative factor presence
I summon the spirits
To give me more patience

Cursing I won't drop any
Harsher words I can say
In my decaying will
That I've put into prey

Is this what you've wanted
Is this tomorrow you've dreamt of
Is this the chained cycle
Running in infinite paradox

Is this what I woke up for
Is this where all should I know
Is this the future
How far will you go.

How do birds sing
How do you even sleep
I am a train losing steam
Falling in a downhill steep

The tipping point has been reached
My spectrum of tolerance in a can,
But it's all good everyday
Because I am the absorbing man.

Is this the world you've wished for
You can discard this unending run
Manipulate my feelings
But I am the absorbing man

I've sacrificed my world
My feelings, my needs in one
It's all thumbs up
Because I am the absorbing man

The passion has been petty
By the way you make me feel
But it's just my feelings
And I am the absorbing man.

I've dropped everything
To avoid complications and fuckery
Indulge yourself
Because I am the absorbing man.

I am starving and thirsty
Feeling needy and still existing
**** my existence
I am the absorbing man.

Dimes and good life
Can I take this to my grave
I don't even deserve a grave
Because I am the absorbing man.
Life is a sponge.

Nothingness of nothing
Jowlough Mar 2019
The thrusts of trusts
Hooked upon instincts of crooked flukes
Bloops upon loops of hopes in a rope
Nope, I want to cope walking like an antelope
Broke, sitting on a boat, with a smoke,
Cans of coke, whisky and cup of hoax.
In my mind, blind from the inside.
Slide, coincides the what if’s
Trips and coffee sips,
The leaked tips and tricks, pointed
At the corner of the eye sorted,
Like cards hoarded
In a thrift shop, copped, snapped,
Napped and again, aging,
Doing anything, sinking, sloping
From what I don’t have,
Mic’d overdubs,
Brain scrubs;
Is this love?
No, I suppose
Just a comatose
From raised eyebrows
Daily dose of lows
Trashed roses
Losses
Lapses
My heart, collapses.

Kalabao
Jowlough Nov 2017
As I succumb to earthly forces
******* me slowly
Inside the vacuum of
Unlikely desires, calmly

Late evenings
Casted a spell in my lonesome
Presence, flying thoughts
Whether to go undone

Looking for common peace
Mind is under water
I am surrendering
To youthness I cater

But one snap of a finger
I am getting back
To your untarnished image
Suddenly I am back

Not the half the man
I am giving efforts
Joint movements and vision
Insanely positive rapports

I am out of this ride
I am making up for plots
Of lust and neediness
That gave me hurt and cuts

Four in the morning
Recovering sipping my cacao
Thinking of how
Karl kalabao.

Sahara Rain
Jowlough Jan 2021
Rain gives joy in a humid place
It’s likelihood, a subtle chase
Like a mother’s soup you savor to the drop.

Showering the dessert land
Little as your attention span

It’s rarity, the purity.
Gives excitement to the trees
Oh I miss the windy bliss .

Water traces in the sand
Running palm-lines of your hand

Rain-sun ratio’s one to nine
It’s a summer year day in and out
Longing for the moistened breeze

Like the love you've put in vain
Subtle showers like the rain

Longing for the mist and the cold
Talking weather is plain too old

Watered sand dunes dug a hole
dying heart and shattered soul.

Staining the sheets
Jowlough May 2018
All those schemes
You look forward to
Becomes a bitter pill
Swallowing is hard to
Getting drunk to the waves
Norms you suddenly
Wanted to alter
As yourself falters
Pitting your soul
To the lowest point of hell
Demons are whispering
Makes you wonder
About the other side
Murmurs and tears
You all keep by yourself
Will make its redemption
Dimming the lights
Knocking on the doors
Waiting for the end
Thirst you cannot quench
In the middle of desert
Inside your rotten boots
You can plead to yourself
Dying inside to the bones
And still no one knows
What tomorrow might bring
No one knows
When the ending is near
And you fix yourself a drink
Puff the smoke in the walls
And the same walls
Barricades your rationale
Asking your self why
Asking why you are buried alive
Grasping and gasping
Until the last breathe succumbs
Ending the suffering
With scattered biscuit crumbs
And spills of coffee
Staining your sheets
When you call it quits.

Prefer
Jowlough Mar 2018
Some prefer tattoos
Others puff smoke
Some look forward to outdoors
While sipping diet coke

Some prefers music
Befriended their souls
Others sweat like buckets
Running through the cold

There are people who dance vividly
In the heat of the morning;
Others lurk upon the shelves
While others enjoy travelling.

Some picked their families
Above everything else
Others decultivated their passion
To proceed on the wedding bells

Faked smiles and friends
Others put agenda above self
But some acts like the sun
And others dwell in asteroid belt

Some shoot all night
While some prefer to pass
Some placed their brains ahead
While feelers put their head last

There are some who aged like wine
Others spoiling like milk;
Some hearts are built like a stone
While some hearts are made of silk

There are polar opposites
But they know how to dwell;
And some similar objects
That oughts to repel.

Hits and misses
Jowlough Oct 2017
You passed me by
With your pupil on the side
Sends shivers down my spine
Like a crime
Whose pleading leads me to vices
In places and all the faces
Your beauty is my basis
Hazes in in your glances
Across the room we fade
And it takes me places
Higher than glaciers
Better than any drugs and laces
Each one of your glances.
Twirling, dances
I surrendered all my cases
All of my history traces
Of all the wisest
And the strongest
The baddest
And the sharpest
The maddest
modest,

Of thorns and roses
Retainers that replaces
Your braces
Pieces
Of fiercest
And finest
Races
You run mazes
Amazes
Teases
Creases
Kisses
Hits and misses.


Tonight, I succumb.
Jowlough Mar 2018
Foxy blues I want to hear
Untamed taste for melodies
Calm and endless
Kicking spirits of parodies

Yesterday, is another day
Overloaded and wayward.
Unsung soul, read this downwards.

Corner spot
Jowlough Dec 2017
Black stars on white, thumb and index on lips
rolling with your sports yoyo and red lipstick.
all your visible veins are non-passive,
as I view from your thick lenses behind retrospective.

That filthy container where you're sipping liquid
rebellious crown you're sporting is quite cursive.
hideous mask can't contain your heavy hormones,
when I caught you peeking on the corner wear-ons.

From the corner spot, I can't think of any jargons,
Of words nor dragons I could use, money or mansions
I'm just a steady monkey of potential and future,
Eagled eye but not haunting or never sure.

Off to bed
Jowlough Nov 2017
I'm not the kind of fool
Who goes first on fondues
Wreak havoc on travels
And get lost and bruised

And fight for anything
And anyone of feelings
I am the son of cold
And the grand child of vulgarity

Never the strong man
Nor the spiritual insane
Running my highway
In my own truck lane

Never ink blotted
By the time I felt I'd like to
Overdoing scatterings
Forcing pusses to pop lingerings

Cropped out from photographs
I am the eagle from the south
A day older from my mere shadow
Of dandies and slouch

I am the charmer of ghosts
In this fatigued jacket
Taking charge of bullets
Triggered from your guts

From your sub standards
Pulled from the gauntlet
Off your misfiring ammo
Crash dummied rocket

Murmurs and prophets
Fake gay dimples
Soft brushes
First class test crashes

In the middle of the zone
Blows my head
Leaves my lights on
Off to bed.
