Manboipoet May 2020
Italy for the pasta
Bora Bora for the sea
Paris for the romance
Thailand for the beach
Brazil for the carnivals
India for the tea
Carribean for the chicken
Argentina for the beef
The list could go on
But anywhere with you
Is the most wonderful place to be
Inspired by:
Those moments where it doesn’t matter what you do or where you go but it’s the people you’re surrounded by that truly make the experience what it is
Manboipoet May 2020
Dreams encased in your mind
Intertwined like a tangled pair of earphones
Among the 70,000 other thoughts
That pass through each day
To impatiently wait or to make haste

To reach for what is yet to be
A visionary living in a temporary reality
I want to bathe in hot chocolate
With an unlimited supply of custard creams
To dunk whenever I please

It seems crazy to believe
You can win your battle with beliefs
Don’t be afraid to go after your dreams
Because it’s better to try and fail
Than to never have tried at all
Inspired by:

The words left unspoken
We approximately think around 70,000 thoughts each day
We have all these dreams and grand ambitions but battle with our minds over whether they’re achievable
Manboipoet May 2020
Problems with authority
We were like vigilantes
Who swiftly moved
From one spot to another
Like undercover rebels
A bunch of kids who meddled
In things they shouldn’t
Growing up too fast for their own good
But who should they have listened to
They weren’t sure what they wanted
The freedom of youth and the wisdom of getting older
Such a contradicting delusion
Carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders
Would soon anchor them down
Before it was passed on to the next generation
Unless they solved the mysteries themselves
Inspired by my rebellious phase with my friends
Manboipoet May 2020
The morning after the after party
The subtle ringing in my ear
Echoes of Drake and Playboi Carti
Empty roads and fresh air
The streets wearing it’s sheen so well
Yet tainted from last nights antics
There is no one to be seen
Just me and my skateboard
The wheels cemented to the concrete
As my mind focuses on the moment

Seconds pass by and I notice
Cotton candy skies
Its around 6am in Dalston
My tired eyes glued to the sunrise
I don’t know where I am going
I don’t know how I will get there
The wind pushing me in one direction
My mind playing devils advocate
Urging me to take another
I shall go where I will end up
I have no doubt I will find myself
When I finally arrive there
Manboipoet May 2020
I feel so grateful
For everything and everyone
From the roots that lie beneath the earth
To the stars and the sun

For the lessons I’ve learned
For the movie like moments
For the journey that lies ahead
For the wise words spoken

To be able to breathe
Touch taste and see
To be able to hear and feel
The love I give and receive

For the picturesque views
With colours your eyes couldn’t imagine
For the sacrifices made
So I can follow my passions

The list goes on ...
When I wake up, I like to think what I’m most grateful for and this came to me today, one of the quicker poems I’ve written, it seemed to flow more effortlessly and didn’t require as much mental energy.
