Raphael De La Ghetto’s Poetry Corner – “Blackberry Love.”

Blackberry Love.

Yo, BB!
I remember you.
Yea, We were cool.
You was jet black, shiny, sleek with a blue armor that would protect you from any impact
In fact… YOU WUZ ALL DAT!
Damn Blackberry…. when are you coming back??

I remember, how I would indulge into your fruit, how I would caresss you.
Your buttons were like cushions
Every letter or symbol key might as well read off “push me, gently”
My fingertips would get all gushy and you would get all mushy because we connected like that.
In fact… our relationship was more than that

Materialism might well as be another form of imperialism
You commanded alot of my attention, you knew me well, my schedule
Organized my life inside your calendar.
I was all up in and through your system.
You go girl! I miss you. You and those sexy.. Apps.
It is a fact… that I am sorry… How did I lose you?

I remember our last day.
When I foolishly left you on the subway train.
Why didn’t you make a noise, I didn’t hear you.. you just let me walk away
Now my brain is re-configured, I cry when I see pictures of you and me.
Friends ask me… “Yo, where’s BB?“.. I lie and tell them that you’re just asleep.

I used to hate when people would call you names.
“Crackberry”
They didnt understand you and me, They just don’t undertand love.
I admit that you were quite addictive.
Ran into walls, endangered myself while crossing the street, but I’m still alive
Still I Rise…I wake up each morning
but its hard waking up know that you won’t be there to greet me with your rhythmic flickering red light.

I remember how you would speak to me, through other people voices
“Hello, Mr Delisca, we think you are good artist, we’d like to book for a show”
“Hi, hey baby… how’s your day?
“David, don’t forget to turn off the stove”

I looked for you on eBAY, you wasn’t there
Craigslist, Kijiji.. you wasn’t anywhere.
Just send me a message to let me know that you are somewhere

Let’s not discuss about your Messenger
Hmmmmm…. BBM
In lil over a month, i was able to get 40 contacts
But I lost you the day before the updated 5.0 version came out
Now I am missing out on interestings things like “barcodes” and display pictures for the PIN contacts

Please BB, come back this way
I didnt get to reach the allotted usage for the monthly data plan
You used to give me real time sports updates.
4th quarter-#16, Quarterback for West Virginia, Jarrett Brown,The Man, just scored a touchdown!
One time, for hometown

I remember your sounds, the ringtones that played out like soundtracks to our lives together
Drake’s “Forever”, simply stated
Earth, Wind and Fire “September” because that when our relationship started
Ritchie Valen’s “La Bamba” that how you shook my down
Now its just, drama, drama, DRAMA

With all seriousness,
You taught me alot.
Through google, you informed me about my ancestry
Middle name Odeli, from the Nigerian Igbo tribe meaning “Left to GOD”
If somehow you are not alive, your battery died, then I hope your spirit traveled to the left hand of GOD

Our love was a Research In Motion
I am Human,
You are a PDA
but I never shied away from the notion with giving Public Display Of Affection
Please come back to me, so that we can “sync” back our connection.
I don’t want to get an iPhone, that is out of the question
