Dimmed and crestfallen
You object for the vices!
Your trimmed hopes
Your dampened spirits
See what has befallen you
You played the prey
You braced for the claws


In the grinding grip
An enduring grotesque 
A slew of bottlenecks
Verily the grain of misfortunes
You grew pale and sunken
Dejected and conquered
In a fairytale
'Who spelt your...

All Bottled Up

Bottlenecks are one thing driving down the road
Making one late for work is another
Cumbersome, slow and an all time low

Containers made from glass have their ups and downs
Mostly downs we’re told

Their poisons kill aristocrats, the poor, poets known and unknown

Highs and lows are...

She has nothing to hide
She bathes from phoenix waters
Her face is a painting of emotions
Joy, fear, anger, sadness
Triumphs over lakes of unbelievable 
Her body is a shrine
Of Lady of Morals
The Titans bow to her
As she waves the indigo skies
Of dreams, of reality
And the shadows of...

Toys

Too much of everything, no equanimity, 
ipods and emails engulfing your brain; 
snafus and bottlenecks, traffic and tie-ups,
endless confusion will drive you insane.

Perhaps it would be best to pause for a moment
and give up your place to the lean and the mean,
to covet silence and...

The George Washington Bridge connects New York with New Jersey.
In recent times, it has become a center of controversy.
Two out of three lanes are inaccessible in Fort Lee.
This blockage is an obstacle for vehicles used for emergency.
In case of fires, medical emergencies, and car wrecks,
the...

Where silhouetted sentinels silently stand in vain
bleeding shades of layered shame on blight-lined highways below, 
their ghostly shadows remind us of dreams we dared to drain.   
  
Interred on unkempt plots, crumbling brick carcasses maintain
evidence we’re forced to see if the trails...

Lost am I 
In the bottlenecks of sorrow
Those hunches about you
Smug an empty tomorrow,

I lock the doors
Yet you appear
Behind those silhouettes 
I tend to disappear,

Burying my head
Deep into the pillows
With a chest soaring
Against the prison of ribs,

Falling apart are my reaches
Seeing you so far away
Trapped...

City of illusion
Colourfully lit alleys, gaming joints
Millionaires, millionaires in waiting 
Chattering, dining away
Divulging beautiful illumination
Of a paradise on earth
Devoid of stress and bottlenecks 
Somewhere beneath the winning and dining
Lay the tempting blackjacks, wheels of fortune
And mesmerizing angels of death
Whose venoms are more deadly
Than those of...

Quick to forget the Off-Duty Grant
That makes bosses not rant
Easily treating An Observer,
To a levity of A Grieving Server
All stops are boldly pulled out
Like irritable errors struck out,
All restrictions kicked aside
Or left to their time bide!

It’s a being who has glimpsed obligations 
Vain Boss would...

Half wits spouting half-measures,
never fully investing
in the future of 
flesh-and-blood commodity — 
You and me

Air head bottlenecks 
spewing half-hearted promises,
full belly lies
Bloated heifers udder scam skim siphoning 
our children’s milk money empty

Half mast, drunken pirate eyepatch guides
vomit heave half-pint integrity
Taking morally challenged parrot plebs 
on...
