My stress levels
they rise
Surprise
I despise
Out of nowhere
it comes
Little crumbs
I am numb
To the positives
Only negatives
come to me
My vision clouded
Overcrowded
with thoughts aching to be freed...

MUSIC


Raucus rock concert  -
Five shrieking dervishes  
On stage.
Five thousand shieking dervishes 
In audience. 
Brought home daughter
Hoarse and deafened.
Overcrowded cacophony.
 
Me, tea, bed and sleepy radio.
Simon lyrics make sense.
Sublime Garfunkel harmony....

If our souls were flooded with passion,
About heaven, and
Our hearts overcrowded with love of God
All filled with spiritual conformity,
With deeds of absolute perfection,
To travel through path of righteousness
Like babies in their innocent days
I wonder how the world would be?...

NEVER ENOUGH


There are times
When you want more
Need more,

The hunger
The thirst
Maybe all of it,

You need the love
The affection,
You want to feel special.

Life is and overcrowded 
Posh restaurant.
You’re here because your hungry

But you just found out

It’s
To
Expensive....

There is no problem with overcrowded prisons
Don’t worry
All the jails are overcrowded
You have to make a reservation
These days
Go for one more traffic violation
Indulge in your crimes
Bring a cushion
When it is your turn
And the waiting is over
When all the prisoners stare at you
You know you are at home...

Summer hot and sultry,
I stood in my overcrowded greenhouse,
suffocating as if I were in a steam bath.
The summer orchids bloomed,
especially the cattleyas,
the indisputable queens.
They all exuded perfumes,
according to their hues.
Predominant the violet dictated
while the yellows stood subdued.
 
Fern plants stood still,
pleading for cool water,
little realizing that even I had need....

They hate
and have a grey face
feeding on corpses
mental homes
masonic lodges
jails
overcrowded with freaks
that think of themselves
as eagles
dead dogs
full of dead flies
big 
fake smiles
hidden in leather gloves
grey eyes
that scare even
the funeral workers
warming their bones
on their own rage...

That's what they do
they hate
have a grey face
and never cry
for an innocent tear
on an 
innocent eye ......

Friend Gone Missing

I really am in stupefaction,
As to what tore us asunder.
These Hallmark cards, once a year
Infuriate me,
More than the coldest glacial thunder.

With loving exclamations of BFF
proclamations, 
Just stop your justifications!
Sadly, I must admit, technology affected
you with a humongous hit.
If I could, I'd crush your devices into
An overcrowded anti-social exhibit!

Overcrowded housing 
Homeless people on the street,
Below the line of poverty
Through the freeze and heat.
Whilst others are suppressed
With hope not found as yet,
Within the lucky country
Where most are all in debt.
Diseases and sicknesses 
Stress from being poor,
Elders sleeping rough and scared
Frightened to their core!
Equality will never be
when equity unknown,
Hence I'm ashamed to call this place
Australia my home....

Skyscrapers, sheathed in glass, stretch to the sky
as a convoluted maze of asphalt
rivers connect concrete caves they flow by.
Patches of green appear like mold on cheese
amidst bright neon lights, corruption, and sleaze.
All cities have a dark underbelly;
they're overcrowded, noisy, and smelly.
At rush hour, when traffic slows to a crawl,
a beggar begging to fill his belly
doesn't find city streets friendly; not at all....

Sometimes my head is in the clouds

 Shutting out  a moment of time

 I stare  at a realm beyond

My mind drifts in and out of fantasy land

Bringing warm sensations to the overcrowded mind

Immune to the world around

Lost in a cloud that encircles the vision

Where reality leaves and the dream world awakes

Envisioning  a perfect state

A glimpse of a peaceful day dream moment

A sound jolts me back to reality

The clouds float away, and my day dream moment gone....

i have the inner shakes is this another emotion i cannot take 

i'm in this overcrowded world completly alone

tangled in a wicked web that's the way i've woven my bed

my heart in a million places my body only for me

my body begions to tremble letting no one hold me

letting no one know me

i carry myself so strong showing few emotions on my arm

not quit sure where i belong my whole ife i've lbeen steered wrong

leaving pieces of me behind making it hard for me to find......
