Reserata Carcerem XLIV
Yore, chewed churning curse sewn sage -
ñ an urchin did he spit rasp rage;
ñ bounty bicycle had h' ridden.
Alas! Moist murk his tarred tog cl'ven.
Anon, tottered by th' urchin's sire,
'n' apt acumen rehearsed th' transpired.
Only t' know th' sewn sage for his sire -
his callous urchin smeared grandsire?
"Holla, sire.", sunny sire did quethe,
fanning wanky wind's sumptuous spree.
"Holla!", smothered sage sewn scarred runes,
but skittish urchin t' his sire flew.
Went then torn trio t' th' sage's eyry;
"Ruef'l...

Reserata Carcerem XXXIV
Erstwhile, travelled a monk to heav'n -
that Holy Grail.
Borne on trance's wings - pride cloven.
Got he at 't gate:
And the angels all were silent.
Where pale Cynthia shed her order,
for its great wall
pukes rare radiance, beams and Jasper -
and the gate's tall:
And the angels all were silent.
Then his fingers, this marred monk wrapped
into knuckles
on the gate - cacophony clasped ;
his grit trembled:
And the angels all were silent.
Saw he wings in gay - sumptuous spree.
Its floor of gold. ...

Reserata Carcerem XXVII
patience is not an embargo;
eerie enmity oozing flows
gaunt gores, perforated pores pruned
fostering felon feasts - foiled fluid
neither is patience hoisted hay;
nocturnal nature chopping day,
smothered smithereens callous clips,
dark dribbles, moist mood, drizzles drip
patience is all but wanky wait;
taciturn haste fuming torn trait,
etched emotions lagging, joy foiled,
confetti of wishes - wit's spoil
patience's an ocean draped'n torrents,
amateurs savor waves' torments.

Reserata Carcerem XXVI
love is not the tale of the cross;
dark diction callous clichés draw,
la-de-da limping of thorn-theme,
snapping at cum renting spun spree
love has never been an excuse;
taunted track punctured passion prunes,
masticated motive masks means,
felon fashion trimmed by lips' spree
neither is love hurled Utopia;
throbbing thrills, hoisted hemisphere,
dainty pastures, voluptuous vines,
salient stream, vying vision dines
love's a robe of many colours
rarely worn on suiting attire.

Reserata Carcerem XXV
beauty is not the spell of sight;
airy alakazam mars might
la-de-da leases passion prunes
bounty bewitchment urges glued
neither is beauty smeared music;
crumbling crescendos pruning panic
moaning melody, rustic riffs
concerto grosso feelings prick
beauty is all but tampered fate;
generous nature smooth sketch creates,
nor beauty is an apt asset;
blue business - innovation's crest
beauty is a coin of two sides;
seen and unseen - one's got masked might!
'20:06:24:17:33
Note: of bias beauty.

Reserata Carcerem XXIV
resistance is not coarse currents;
electromagnetic ferments,
whooshing waves, subatomic spell
insulating amber, cloned crest
neither is resistance a bridge;
inky intervals at bruised bliss
bounty binders by gores girded
lanky lime, felon feast aided
resistance is all but a feast;
mystic mood burnished'n sassy spree
el'vated will, Siamese sway
commedia dell'arte engraved
resistance is rhythmic sway;
a porous plague with sundry traits.
'20:06:23:17:57
Note: of rusty resistance.

Reserata Carcerem XXIII
knowledge is not a cubicle;
ignorance's hideout, flapdoodle,
corrugated roof of worn wits
damp drips, drizzles illusion spits
neither is knowledge a haven;
hoisted hell, callous clips cloven
la-de-da lake retention dug,
choked to brim by cursed current- lust
nosy knowledge is not heaven;
forlorn Utopia - Joy's oven
fame's pulchritude, honour's specter,
voluptuous variance of blisters
knowledge is a luminary;
hops into wits, then fumes instinct.

Reserata Carcerem XXII
betrayal ain't gift - pored present:
sassy seal soiled strength, leering lent
callous content, cussed confetti,
felon fosters, la-de-da wills
betrayal is not a rough robe:
moistened misery solely sewn
throbbing thread, porous passion plagued
smothered style, feeble fabric's flesh
betrayal is all but sworn skill:
saucy syllables shredding fills
smithereens of spelled silhouettes
tracing dark dribbles on int'llect
think not yourself wise when you cheat,
you're a shadow of what you think!

Pocoloco (remix)
(The song)
Her definition of a best thing
is a small man with a big thing
an extension of a blessing;
grace seeped in gaunt glory.
Not some psycho etched in malady
faces like porridge - sanity's laundry.
Gucci brain, intellect is the big thing,
hell children, what were you thinking?
she won't give me this, she won't give me that
she made me an egg, and she is the bat
she would hit me straight, and sometimes backhand
well, I don't care, I'm cool in her hands.
