"neurosis" poems
They brought them from the hollar to the barge to the field ~ into the wallows in prayer skinny little pinkers cropped by ivory gates buzzed with hot wire hooked on bug worm whistling dixie around scrummers and **** pen peckers squawk down eden lane (nipping at jean lint and fraystring) deep in the hollows a mad crow (with steady tap) the snouts high on grunters and squealers stomping past the feather pack folded fingers on the gatekeeper (an engineer by trade they'd say) pigtails and slack line down the dusty lane a snap of the jawbone and lawn chairs settle (facing north) the bold script and chimes uneasy

these pigs have no neurosis
Static, memories Emanating, separating   The postcard- perfect Still life speaks From its storied past. Invisible, to drift Among   The florid aphorisms, Ending in Deleterious debris, Aftermath of The inevitable. Empty room, echo hollow Tabula rasa - Carpet clean, quite candid in it's Return to callow. Consciousness athirst, Absorbing phenomena Effervesce, inquisitive Ideas foment, Sealed inside a question. The what - Against the narrow Scarcity, And fatigue of should. A tender malleable Youth, Betrayed, under An assumed decorum - Residue of truth, Flattened emotion Privations of a self Unheard; Misplaced affirmation, Buried pathologies   In architecture Fear manifests symbolic. Harboring apathy The lunacy of pious Pedigree, Import contagion, Fetters of benignity Doubt and indecision   Into ****** Cognizance, Fallow spirits Seep fumes of decay, Credulity bleeds a human stain. Social edifice, inoculated   Heirs of neurosis; Palpable, sensual pain And transience, though Tacit - remain, Our haunted history, The blind hyperbole, Maudlin Forbearance, this haven, A portrait Of immaculate condition, Nurtured with precision Under sterling pretense. Provincial domicile - House beautiful, Savage irony - Unseen treasure Innocence unabridged, Faces, tiny creations; Compliant vessels Wounded,   While modernism murmurs   Its promise. Brave New World, In a late model sedan, Domestic ranch on a Corner lot, Suburban natives, Silence means security. The misunderstood Speak louder - Consumerism beneath     Unvarnished ambition, Never could Repair the brokenness within... © 2011 & 2018 W. S. Warner

I love my country: India , but I hate many of its rulers, as they speak for the poor and act for tycoons bellicose, and- Diversity sighs in armed Unity; The selfish corrupted in unity March ahead on graves crafty. I love my country: India , but August fifteenth : with freedom, opened all devilish forces out of Hell to fell all virtues. Grim faced Buddha smiles Like a nuclear Phantom ,his tears drip on tomb of Peace. No white dove sits on dome It bleeds in the lap of Buddha. If birth is the cause of gloom. who stops one from bloom? Dearth of berth clamour for Death of birth at the womb. I love my country: India , but Souls are free on lovely Earth Lay bodies strain to survive. A nominal word equanimity Gushes in landslide infirmity. Service becomes self –service, In black ink sleeps Socialism. Fear Neurosis like King Kamsa Keeps Liberty behind the bars. Healthy, wealthy Bharat Matha Groans in labour room for Santi. Note: 1). August fifteenth= 15 August 1947 when India became free from Briton. 2).Buddha=Gutham Buddha(Prince Sidhardha) who established Buddhism.3).Kamsa= The mythological character , uncle of Lord Krishna who chained even his sister Devaki out of the fear psychosis. 4),Bharat Matha= Indians consider Bharat/India as their Mother(Matha)-so it is Mother land not Fatherland for them .Santi/Shanti=a Sanskrit word used in Vedas and Upanishads of India which means Peace or Islam.

I love my country: India, but
I last saw her in Santiago ******* drunkenly in a Sub urban taverna parading conceited pride in a twisted union with that ********  heinous maniacal harlequin each in vainglorious throes of their imagined septic mindfuck Debauch celebration of collaboration of succubus and incubus Some days she is saying Haloa in Hawaii adorned as Sainti Maria the ***** now as Madonna spewing words like a dove acting like a Nun in a Convent the fiendess with two faces hiding her ****** like the ace in lace the malignant serpent crawling in the duality of her neurosis I last saw her in Santiago In a sanctity of the poisoned insecures with exiguous minds consumed with flaming fears she begs acceptance for inclusion ******* for percieved reflected glory from her fathers' jailers The subjugated souls of chai wallah lives on in grandchildren So when Santi Maria flirts from honey to beehive Ready to ***** and part thighs and brain for minor pointing gun Feel sorry for a damaged child devoid of a prime core never made only obeisance to past rulers whose discarded cast-offs she wears Her poems  enchants but its virulent tools she takes in her body I last saw her in Santiago A slaved two-faced pretender who sings like a nightingale In sub urban dives she postrates to friendly pats and gropes Melting creeps and hot tigers begging subs for a heady drink Brilliant yet blindsided to **** on knees as her children will too Copyright@LaurenceA20thSept2018Allrightsreserved.

Breeze bellows, leaves echo in quivering psithurism, dithering like unbroken smoke, this approaching omen goads. Dozing crows slumbering in rows, droves of locusts' silenced drone, almost comatose in repose; nighttime overtones choir of toads' raspy croaks answered by alto of crickets' orchestral strokes. Gust encroaches; robed boughs cloven open, bring into scope and focus me juxtaposed, suspended apropos. Although motionless and petrified in stone, provoked by zephyr coaxing to and fro; swaying pendulous and no longer frozen, locus gently thrown. Death rattle moan evoked from throat, reflex can't say no to rigor rigidly posed, final sigh in silence, awoken vocal, expelled and disposed. Smote by morose emotion, gun loaded then exploded by neurosis, now bloated necrosis decomposes into gross ochre. This trophy and this ode both an opus to my inability to cope; romanced i proposed, eloped and betrothed to my own inappropriate composure. Pocket full of posies plucked when luck bestowed and tears in a cup, a toast; crying copiously, tempest runneth overflowed, eyes swollen and soaked. Dipped my toes in the coast of this ocean's amorphous folds, gripped by undertow holding control of my soul; swiftly shipwrecked in shallow shoal, an old atoll. On sandy floor, water burrows roads; digging, carving, roams through unmarrowed silica and sandstone eroding into a cove. A host for opal geode trove, enclosing a technicolor rose, from the depths a glowing mosaic shone Unopened lotus floats on foam of lapping waves, a boat; prone to no grandiose notion or motive, adrift as wind stokes. I suppose this only shows the total corrosion into which I dove, the only foes to oppose are those of burdens, so only weightless can I atone- I must let go.

She is a succulent bunch,let me be helpful, if you don't get the complex chemical scent, I call her ,"a girl of unpredictable meeting places"inotropic, is her effect, She sends heartbeats way up. Delectable too, she was, every time I tasted certain parts of her. Her avatars are numerous, like Hindu Gods With specific intention for each incarnation Onee will be pushed in to neurosis, if doesn't completely relish her infinite variety. She is a cryptic mystic, for a while  from signals I discerned and firmly believed Or is she just a creature mysterious Doubt raises it's head, like a lotus From slushy pond My eyes met her at the level of her eyes first, the rest in a haze to me was invisible, Then my heart sends a message "Right now, I missed a beat here" Heart then recites a poem, tells me, it is all her making "Don't fall in love" heart's advice, "Go, dissolve in her completely" Even my own heart has crossed sides, or is it truly an advice for my sake? Love is a hallucinogen, get it? she whistles like wind at bamboo groves from within sings like a thrush, she is a magpie, or is she a koel? Nocturnal animal, in need of mating, making calls, frantic SMS, incessant. She is wind and water, elements that make one burn and drown She spreads her yoga mat on the floor, asks me to sit cross legged Indian style, I am already for that in my mind, So I spread eagle in corpse pose, indicating, "All through my life", mother earth gives me warmth.           Shanti,   Shanti,   shanti

Complex PTSD made even more complex by frequent bouts of mild psychosis. Neurosis. Impulsivity. Mood swings. Suicidal tendencies. Inconsistent personality. Writing uncontrollably. Questionable hygiene. Obsessive pineapple eating. Veganism. Atheism. Humanism. And I have a horrible sense of direction. Wait, What was the question?

Hello My Name Is
Expanding, contracting, waxing, waning. On the edge of your seat, eyes drooping shut. Enthralled by boredom, hairs standing on end. Three bites deep in a paradox sandwich, Garnished with an oh so subtle hint of neurosis. Seduced by a routine predisposition. Reason fading away into subtle redundancy. Redundancy Redundancy Redundancy REEEEEEDDDDDUUUUUNNNNDDDDDAAAANNNNCCCCCYYYYY. Hey, would it be redundant... If I said redundancy? Did I say that already? Yeah? Better be sure cause homie don't play that. (Which leads to the distinct and important point that there was once someone narrating this... hey wait. Well, who's doing it now? Seems sort of strange that these words are still somehow finding their way into your- oh wait, he's back!) Or am I? How do you know? Maybe... I was just an illusion this whole time!!1!!11 ...and then all of the sudden, it's 5:00 AM. Again... seriously? HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!

Class D Rugs: or Carpeting for the Budget Conscious
You fall too hard and you fall too fast Don't you know you had what lasts? And I say had Because it's past tense I'm sorry that "til death" Did you part after only a quarter of a century Makes a man think It's ok to be scared of loneliness It's ok to be afraid there's no more shared happiness It's just a neurosis though You know that right? It's ok to feel like you're swimming in the ocean of your bed And the coast guard is Not on the way To save you Being single after taking vows Is more than unfortunate Worse than divorcing She died And I think you should be selfish Just for a while, dad Because you fall too far And you fall too fast Don't you know meteors burn themselves up Doing just that? Don't you remember Camping out in the laundry room Explaining falling objects and gravity (which I still don't believe by the way) Pointing at the sky out the window Teaching your 6 year old About the iron:nickel ratios? Saying "Don't wake mom." And dad, moons will glide in and out of orbit Around you And the vacuum of space Will at times be filled with your loneliness And longing for the past And you'll keep falling fast Burning up in the atmosphere Leaving little craters here And there From the impact you have On her And her And her And your highschool girlfriend And your daughters And that woman in your yoga class It's ok You fall too hard And you fall too fast Don't you know Only superman could survive an impact like that?

*oh you body of a woman you've cried in the dark to long with your enormous thrilling charm you under my skin with your blood thirsty neurosis like a queer moon begging to be hollowed out slow and cruel, you begged calling me sir, like that your mouth gleaming wet your eyes piercing like flashing cleavers you groan wild like a hyena on fire leaving all sense behind saying yes to my darkest of whims and weeping echoes darker darker and darker yet twist me in circles and circles in circles my soul a rioting expectation she eats the backward apple God knew you would the sadist good destroys evil heals you eat apples of sin galore your **** puffs a fluttering gate drooling madness, all Adamite an iron jawed angel tides of panic in the dark kisses that ground you down paralyzed by the black pit true will of desire atavistic compulsions torrential pain that makes beauty stunning pain that hums like needles and tongues sliding curves milk and blood doomed by carnal opportunity under leaves of darkening  green depth charge shifting flesh towards a swift arrow i am a sudden storm like Caligula's kisses and you are absolute sacrifice draped drooling in heavens arms

Mother Neurosis
*Love’s a fragrant rose A sparkly luminescent red Like beetroot with a thorny side to dread Orchard fresh, exquisite and breathtaking like a polyphonic prose. It’s cupid’s ingenious marvel A force with a whirlpool effect That sweeps it’s ‘victims’ off their feet their hearts swelling with deject It’s undoubtedly the tower of babel Only that its structure’s amorphous Always changing in a constant state of ‘metamorphosis. Being in the arms of Morpheus Is indeed more gratifying as opposed to being diagnosed with hysterical neurosis Methinks love thou art an extinct phenomenon Buried deep in the abyss of emotional confusion.*

An ache in the heart
Laughter at the pirate ship wreck Incarcerated alibi. Self-doubt and enemy envy. Post neurosis mental chariot waiting patient set to test and task the palatial steel ballast. Starting to startle itself awake according to twilight reporting recognized first and focused lazily to be remembered later for the first half percent. Decent decline descending darkness ascending atoms attending arson. Gallant grey nose for cold weather bubbling wound **** streak pillow. Plain sight eyes glazing reminiscent veteran folded over beer bottle drunk at home the unknown soldier. Spirit spear piercing glowing nexus weightless flying high shadows vacant samurai clutch in an adjacent basement. Bleeding bone fractured paper homes manufactured homeless jeering platelet picked and cast like a rune on your first born baby blanket. Hallow, heated, grave displayed, and looped backwards.   Happy fishing!

Thoughts from a Ghost Ship
Well I’ve lived a life just like yours But I made some choices that were poor So instead of having it my way I’m selling flowers on the highway I have a home but it moves around a lot Maybe my rent’s the one thing I forgot If I had my choice I’d dream by day But for now I’m selling flowers on the highway And somewhere, somehow, a man in a suit is burning sage And somewhere, somehow, a woman in a dress is filled with rage I’d like to tell them all to be proud, witty and gay But instead I’m selling flowers on the highway And these roads have an ego, about the size of a town And the faceless people driving by, to me they look like clowns Maybe I’m getting old, maybe I just need to feel okay But for now, I’m stuck here, selling flowers on the highway I’ve got hyacinths, marigolds and roses I’ve got one cure for my neurosis So pass me the bottle, if you may I’m stuck here selling flowers on the highway I just want to walk like I usually do Beneath the tall buildings on the avenue But for now I’ll bask in the sun’s rays I’m just a human being, selling flowers on the highway

Selling Flowers on the Highway
no, I wasn't always like this I used to cry about the ozone layer now excess calories upset me more than excess carbon emissions these days I spend half my life inside parentheses the other half with a therapist she says I see too many things to be happy but it's hard to shut your eyes when clothes pins made of neurosis keep them open until four in the morning so I've learned to sleep with an eye mask and a blanket of NyQuil because there isn't a pill for severe self awareness

maybe I should take up meditation
You love my light, but can you embrace my darkness? My madness, my neurosis, my insecurities? You love my laugh, but can you love my tears and my scars and my pain as deeply as you love my joy? You're willing to bask in my glistening iridescent infinite divine red aura splattered in gold tones...but will you be there when I'm unable to lift myself from the abyss of my ever churning, ever condemning, overthinking mind? You want to celebrate my successes, but are you willing not to be overly critical of my failed attempts? Are you willing to encourage me and believe in me when I can't do it for myself? I'm simultaneously happy and sad, hot and cold, unfettered and bound, knowing and ignorant, open and closed, sure and unsure, deep and shallow, obsessed and unconcerned ...can you handle that? Can you handle me? Is it too dizzying of a realization that every part of me has a deep opposing counterpart? Will you stay? Will you leave? If so- I've just given you permission to do whatever you feel that you need... You can't have my light without my darkness. You can't have my joy and discard my pain. You can't have my sanity without my insanity. You can't gather the things that you like and discard the ugly parts, further fragmenting my already fragmented soul... Every part of me longs to feel the warmth of the sun Every part of me longs to shown off like a most prized possession Every part of me longs to be nurtured and cared for and protected and validated Not by everyone- but by YOU I don't need them. I just need you Every part of me longs to be seen by you felt by loved by You. Every. Part. See my heart, taste my thoughts, feel the colors of my memories Into me see Intimacy ~KiCo!

The Divide as it whispers: "borderline," and calls you to the throne of denigration, like a hawk soars towards a cute quivering corpse. We all must eat to live. Loving only to be loved, your Love is Fear that, spreads the thighs of Hate, suspends the golden rule, and dips the tip of Trust. Light bends in clear waters. The border of "neurosis" and "psychosis" never met your gentle river eyes, that twirl like a child's, hugging the silent shivering creature. Squeeze tight until it dies. "Researchers coined the term “borderline” in the first half of this century, when they thought that people who exhibited behaviors we now associate with BPD were on the border between neurosis and psychosis. Although this concept was discarded in the 1970s, the name stuck." - Paul T. Mason, M.S. and Randi Kreger

Throne of Denigration
Where am i ?                  What i'm doing here ? I'm looking through my shadow                  But what do i see ? Black soul , maniac thoughts                  How am i still living ? I'm "almost" destroyed mentally                   Physically strong as rock Why can't i control myself ?                   I'm so insecure , immature I'm having Schizophrenia                   Dementia praecox Fundamental derangement of my mind                   Probably caused by an emotional disorder Emotional illness affecting in my personality                   I'm Neurosis , Neurasthenic Nerve dysfunction                    I'm walking away To forget all this pain                  To walk and never get back Part of my body already dead                  I don't know if i'm going to survive From this midlife crisis                 This is nothing that elapsed I'm sure it's just the beginning of hell                  Half spent Not much left                  That's how it used to be That's how it going to be                 Struggling with desease Smiling is hard but easy                 As much as slutty Psychotic confession                 Irritability

Irritability
Don’t fear your fear Or even anxiety – Nagging Neurosis: Even if it makes you pour with sweat And tremble. Don’t fight your fear, Or seek to suppress it. Don’t dumb it down With tranquilisers and the like. No need to be Superman, Nor Wonder Woman. No need for Spock-like Volcan Emotional mind-control. You aint a wimp Because you are afraid. Don’t bury your fear Or shake it off. Just Listen to it! For Fear’s a Warning. It’s doing a job. A Red or Yellow Alert. Warning You About what? Through fear we survive To thrive. In bygone days it saved us From dinosaurs and sabre-toothed Tigers. What is the danger now? What are you doing wrong? How are you putting yourself At risk? What terrors lie along this path? What are your instincts whispering In your ear? Intuition tells you what? What is there to fear? Just listen And feel. Embrace your fear. Survive To thrive. Paul Butters

Fear
"Love is the only poetry there is. All other poetry is just a reflection of it. The poetry may be in sound, the poetry may be in stone, the poetry may be in the architecture, but basically these are all reflections of love caught in different mediums. But the soul of poetry is love, and those who live love are the real poets. They may never write poems, they may never compose any music - they may never do anything that people ordinarily think of as art - but those who live love, love utterly, totally, are the real poets. Religion is true if it creates the poet in you. If it kills the poet and creates the so-called saint, it is not religion. It is pathology, a kind of neurosis garbed in religious terms. Real religion always releases poetry in you, and love and art and creativity; it makes you more sensitive. You throb more, your heart has a new beat to it. Your life is no longer a boring, stale phenomenon. It is constantly a surprise, and each moment opens new mysteries. Life is an inexhaustible treasure, but only the heart of the poet can know it. I don't believe in philosophy, I don't believe in theology, but I believe in poetry." — Osho, Everyday Osho: 365 Daily Meditations for the Here and Now

I believe in poetry
I’m not going crazy. I’m not being lazy. Please don’t be a grouch If I want to lie on the couch And do nothing much today. Believe me when I say It’s not what you think It’s not from drugs or drink. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. I may seem to stagger I can no longer swagger. So, understand this please I can’t command my knees. I’m fighting back day and night And I won’t give up the fight. What looks like one thing Can be a much worse thing. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis. Life is so full of challenges. The list of what the damage is Sometimes seems to outweigh The cost of living life today. But, I will not ever surrender. I must be my best defender As nobody pays my body bill. I fight despair and always will. It’s not a neurosis It’s Multiple Sclerosis.
