jumbled up

            series of scattered suffused sufferings
            sprouting from 
           shocks -stress - strain 
           appearing off and on in agitated brain
           sometimes igniting anger
           sometimes to lament or repent
           leading to diffused despondency~
           reflexing complexity of perplexed mind
           while  all disarranged disorganised 
             rather jumbled up creating  junk-

             how to assemble-
            totally bewildered confused
             on juxtaposition in jugglery
             when  meaningless thoughts 
              in hazard haphazard manner
               get crumpled entangled
               coiled turning surreal 
                fumbling voice of unimplemented wishes-
                pointless feelings suffocating ~
               unfulfilled ambitions grumbling in vain
               coming in dreams in streams
              drifting on garage clearance 
             through nasty nightmare-
            may be freudian expression 
           of subconscious mind
         encompassed by smothered sensual feelings~

        failure - success  - love - betrayal - happiness - miseries
              are jumbled swinging in juxtaposition~
