First light
Neighborhood congested
Too late...

In congested homes of slums
The poor people live –
No one listens to their grief!...

Sigmund Freud
Father of psychoanalysis employed
Experimented with cocaine, hoping for fame
Instead got congested nose and chest pain...

Hair brain glob pores;
Scape congested cog webs spores;
Covered chrome top
Afro?

Tick tock, broke rocks
Speed trap, day naps
Heartbreak, heaven sake
Truck stop, kick rocks
Boon-docks, Stop watch

Sitting inside a study room
She looked out of the window
She saw a sky
Small and broken
Low and congested
Oh 
The sky 
What a difference
From the book
I read
Everyday
Cried my little daughter
Who is seven years old...

Backache
Headache
Congested head.
~
I can't sleep 
when I go to bed!

Coughing 
Sneezing
Watery eyes.
~
Alone and miserable
no one hears my cries!

Tired 
Drained
Badly stressed!
~
What I'd give 
for a month of rest!...

Her House was ablaze,
Smoke filled each room she
Was barely alive,

Congested and faint,
A withered rose suffocates,
She fell to her knees,

Voice heard loud and clear,
Severed through the pollution,
Arise, your set free!

Wormhole labyrinths
bored beneath congested streets
where trains ferry poor people
into the dark abyss,
time weighing heavy on their minds.

it is so early that birds are not chirping
sleep is evasive, dreams nonexistent
I am bathed in darkness, dressed in coldness
thoughts are heavy, speeding down congested corridors
will it always be this way?
weariness plagues me
my mind betrays
my heart weeps...

Heart mended
beneficial Trust
blossom forecast
fairyland disguise 
family man confused
in plaid t's vapor 
patterned flavors
If it ain't the rest
It ain't the best
I digress
I'm a total mess
congested chest
fill me up
with your
Drug

The bald man is proud
He goes around boasting;
“Earth is congested and small.

Believe or reject this fact,
All places on earth are unfit
Lord God chose my head
Daily to land there as airport

Mankind and all creatures
Are supervised, judged by God
Not in heaven but from my head”...

High above in the sky
Man found a rainbow
Cherished by its semicircular band of
Seven bright colours
Symbolising prosperity or a bright future 
Has forgotten about
The other half of the rainbow
Blocked by the congested skyline far away
Has to be dug out one day
By his great expectations...

pastel June roses
afternoon picnic baskets
hiking a mountain meadow
the wanderlust thirst
as open as the ocean
beneath a fair freckled sky

drunk on sunshine wine
sunburns and blistered noses
sticky glazed humidity
crowds of rowdy kids
traffic congested beaches
August comes, longing for fall

Trash strewn all over the street
Graffiti every where
A cop walks the beat
Drug dealer ducks back down the alley
He feels the heat
Congested traffic
Honking horns
Homeless lady looking in the trash for food to eat
No shoes
News paper taped to her feet
Shots pierce the night
Sirens wail
Some bodies loved one lies dead in the street...

Cleanse your colon
the future of poetry demands,
and this is just the place for it.
Backed-up words =  writers block.
Void the unavoidable,
eliminate the congested
proud and loud.

Fear not the mess
white pages and toilet paper
so similar

Write on with a lax and easy grace
to the next vocalized movement,
your next creative peristalsis....

A book is something I do not understand said Mom.
I do a little bit said the daddy opossum, we call Tom.
Let’s open it up and see what it does, junior suggested.
Baby opossum began reading it, and it was fairly congested.
Full of adjectives, nouns, verbs, and the like, read by Cheddy.
He will go to kindergarten next year, and he is totally ready....

Emma was asleep in 
an unrealistically graceful position
It had much to do with 
the calmness she felt 
as she listened to the sound of rain 
hitting her window 
It seemed her mind was always so 
congested 
that the slightest moment of peace 
brought about 
an intense euphoria 
So the moment at which she fell asleep was 
the only pure one of 
the entire day...

awesome beauty stands
glimmering tarnished knot in the 
eyes of no man heart
~
yet hugs in spirit
congested it with thoughts of physics
spoils the purities
~
soul drenched in just lust
of spiritualities
tainted and combust
~
fair thee wroth it is
 about me not about us
I've come to the wrong
~
I lay my selfish
 burning  down please forgive me
spiritual beauty...

My computer is congested
With all the stuff it's ingested -
The silly poems that I've devised
And the inane things I've surmised.
Yes indeedy, it's been force-fed
All my foolish nonsense instead
Of important things and the like,
Now it's told me to take a hike.
All I asked was for it to print,
It said, "Listen, bub, take a hint,
I can't answer when you call.
I'm not responding. That is all."...

An escape from the congested world 
Of routine or great expectations
The waterfall becomes
An outstanding landmark
To our eyes and our souls
The waterfall rushes down 
From the heaven
A symbol of 
Vigour and life
Confidence
Determination
Perseverance
And truths
It splashes to form
Pearly sprays and circling ripples
It  gives hopes 
To the hearts and the souls
Of nature lovers and philosophers...

Curled upon the bed,Seeing visions upside down
Oh how this weather keeps me bound
Tired and achy is how my body feels
Sipping on freshly made tea
With lemon chunks and onion peels
Stuffy nose and watery eyes
I'm feeling worse as time goes by
With a high fever and sweaty feet 
And a nauseous stomach I just can't eat
Congested  I am, No one understands
At least in this way, Feeling blue....  I am today...

Hover cars.
Who needs them?
Los Angeles.
Maybe if they had them, the gangs would stop fighting.

Hover cars.
Have they been invented yet?
I am sure they have.
Let's get them out onto the highways, and stop the road rage.

Hover cars.
Built for congested freeways.
For people who spend four hours a day in their cars.
Pretending to like something on the radio.
How can we get them to Los Angeles? Fast!...
