Best Embezzled Poems

Dark chocolate eyes bore into me,
Beseeching, brimming, tunneling for truth.
A single tear trails silently
Cascading o’er lifted cheekbones so
Perfectly angled they’re matchless
Throughout nature’s beauty scheme.
Exquisite, ethereal amber skin is
Glistened by a single path tracking south
Till brushed tentatively aside and away
With a deliciously delicate crook’d index finger....

My muse blew a fuse
Without excuse fealty did recuse
In jilting fashion without compassion 
Tendered passion did stingily ration
Lofty discourse from pen did divorce
With no remorse absconded every resource
My inspiration turned to perspiration
Hopeless itinerant somewhat penitent
The bartered lexicon I did recon
A vagrant shill seeking to rill
The...

Otto`s life is not
their British
sickular motto
Grue is his banner
left by his
blue-eyed Brit mom
left long by one of
those hated South
African Paki
His guilty pleasures
in Green Street have
no recognition like
many such Aussies in
mulberry bushes
Yet he shovels the
stake of hatred and
grows
As if sheer pain as
tears digged large
holes in

A pineapple...

Bungalow shrouded by sorrow
Ancillary space time doth borrow
Recycled dreams in dark basement furrow
Residual memories in corroded hope chest burrow
Embezzled ambitions in fallow vault sallow
Naked soul in hollowed-out walls doth wallow...

I too sing corruption
I waited on the bench
was told no work
reason (mkono mtupu)
yes had no long relative

I sat next to the conductor
comes an officer
wringing their hands
red-pinkish 100 shilling note
(afande chai)
but the vehicle overloaded

I went job-searching
but my less qualified counterpart had it
sexual favors I tell you
My...

Call it condemnation or appraisal ,
It is far from it ;
I write from the bottom of my heart…
Full of sorrows and pain ,
That the world that I cherish and care for…
Is no longer safe and habitable .
Blood is being shed on daily basis..
Killings….for money ,for...

November rains
Monsoon starts wet;
Nature redecorates

~~~~~~~~~


Orchard Road stretch
Decked for Christmas;
Good for business

~~~~~~~~~


So sad this scandal
Funds embezzled;
Ego versus love

~~~~~~~~~


Love works well
Yes you can tell;
Cash now casts spells

~~~~~~~~~


Sound song and dance
Can mesmerise;
Glitzy paradise

~~~~~~~~~


Once upon a tale
That gospel sway;
Now corruption steals

~~~~~~~~~


Sad, sad refrains
Pain comes to snort;
Empty counts gain

~~~~~~~~~


Hollywood cheer
Baubles...

THAT COLORFUL DRUG CONTEST
Sponsor: Lewis Raynes

There may have been some pink or red…but mostly loneliness and black…
My head couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong…good and bad…here or there…Now all I see is the darkness of my death and the regret of my soul....

A NATIONAL EPIDEMIC

If you saw those lusty nasty faces, you see it engraved in their hearts,
Even those trusted public officers, no longer bother to weed the vice,
They plant the evil, water it in every season, they have become infectious,
It has become contagious, even to the...

That night old Henry rose up off his bench;
Evening's light growing dimmer as the sun set in the west,
Throwing stabs of light on the old village common -
Masked strangers on the pavement mocking the night.

Lighthearted camaraderie in a muted village square;
His neighbors laughed heartedly at...

This is Nigeria where every thief is honest;
Where every politicians are good yet, they are probe.
This is Nigeria where every students are wise.
This is Nigeria where every He-Goats smell not.
This is Nigeria where every eyes bleed like a tap. 
This is Nigeria where every man...

Jilting muse with availing inspiration did wend
Barren reservoir doth futility portend
A bristling quill with no well to descend
No gratuitous frills on vapid contours suspend
Seeking with brokered shill to amend
Imploring vagabond seeking itinerant dividend
Wading through flooded channels, silty grains to append
From literary vault embezzled title apprehend
In...

A
Alas! I`m in a
confused state,
As I wonder in
perpetual
restlessness
 B
Bind by different
thoughts that are
not mine,
I keep remembering
the good old days
 C
Caught in the middle
of fights that I
don`t know of;
I mellow down to
understand this
misery
 D
Desperately looking
for answers to solve
these problems,
I swim in false
imagination of a
better tomorrow
 E
Even...

The collaboration between the street and the Y2K mutants had commenced. These 8o’s baby’s filled the night’s air with green lite smoke, and choked back opiate related dreams from white coat masters. These were the city trolls. Forced to bend to society’s creation, of the...
