"embargoed" poems
annoyance, I was branded due to my flamboyance
joyance, connected to divine i am clairvoyance
I swim to the shore from the sheltered deep
I swim to the top to feel the sun’s heat
anything in hopes I do not repeat
the way I felt under you, the way you painted me so blue and alone
a throne in an empty castle
a never-ending mental battle
me versus your voice embedded in my head
I travel to the nearest chapel to rebuke you
I unravel in my travels to run away
the problems return day by day
no amount of drugs and buds will resolve
the problems just seem to evolve
with every folk and wind in the road
with every smoke and grind blown
I gotta face my own
reflection, deflecting blame
rejection, embargoed in shame
protection, from you and your games

i see you in the Philippines.
east of the sunrising,
colliding with my thoughts.
Taught differently to me.
yet a breath of fresh air.
How you living over there?
Not like me,
i guess,
Wondering whats it like in Manila,
Sat here in London,
Were not far in mind,
but far in land.
Not far in skin colour either.
And we probably believe in different things.
My life embargoed.
Would we trade places?
I don’t know.
This one is for Paolo,
The crystal ball see’s the future;
Cristablo.

I've met maggots in my jar of salt
Boomerang they say
But quite interesting I found them
.
Like cattles, evil had roamed in my thoughts
Devil they called me
But really adventurous I found them
.
I had copulation with entangled women
With barriers on them, like mango trees embargoed by landlords
But more pleasurable they seemed
.
I tasted the venom of snakes
They touched my soul like an airplane
Because above all these,
one kind of death will surely **** a man.

Scribing words,
I lack the rhyme.
To describe a costume,
not knowing the character.
Could one teach an apricot
overlooking its flavour,
fragrance,
or feel?
