"workaholic" poems
That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

My lips can no longer hold back. The muted tones cannot bring out the infinity that hides discretely points to an exit sign. Certainty waves goodbye. My only function now is to collapse it. To put the past behind. The barred doors allow the bottleneck to tighten for a few hours, but memory has a way of sounding the alarm in the morning when the early birds rise, armed with ancient lessons that remind me they're the ones who are eating well. I want to come up from the dirt and drink from the well. My low-life self can no longer heed the worm's advice: "Sleep all day and you won't get eaten." Out. Out with your tepid voice and halfway disposition. Out with your elevated mind, your profound commitment to the mediocre task of enlightening the little people. The empire you fabricate may stay stitched for a while. But the clothes of emperors always burst at the seams. A workaholic, addicted to the common you're winning your converts with tired dreams, vicarious imaginings of those finer roads, well tread by shoes that are not your own. You don't believe in the masses. Fine. But get the **** off your throne. Reciting badly drawn poems at four in the morning (it could have been worse e.g. I could have wrote "mourning") looking to insight myself, not into a passionate frenzy like Bacchae drunk on the moonlight. No -- I want piercing red. That's what I want to be. Want to show the heavens how I use the precious wine. Sip it. Out the undulations go. Sweating out the great myth that time forgets when it flows. My pagan-witch ego has put me on the hunt for blood tonight, and the full moon is giving rise to ****** undulations, washing up teeny-book explanations of loves once lost. But I'm far from my being, and from the infinite ocean. And the only sound I can hear right now is my one hand clapping at the curtain call, retiring my broom, bowing goodbye.

So...there's this girl who's rather smart that, when her lips begin to part, drives me up the wall in a good way. I sort of want to see her everyday. She's usually busy though, so I occupy time with one constant sigh until she calls and then I go. I don't really know too much about her --- she's Aphrodite's caricature! --- no,no, that's a bit rash and inflated, but in my stomach butterflies've congregated each time her face comes to mind. Severely interesting, her hands are often clean and she's never proved less than kind. I think it might be good to write her a song (I should've been writing this all along) so that she'll feel sublimely delighted and is happy, though consistently derided by the upkeep of her garden's flora. She could use a lot of things uncommonly wrought, like poems stuffed with anaphora.      *In time all the snowflakes will evaporate.       In time the sun will sleep under an iron leaf.       In time acetylene darkens human hate.       In time all time will seem quite brief.* So, in honor of her I have created this mediocre song so dominated by use of the Yeats-stanza's rhythmic-rhyme, offering it to her as ends to the crime of my deplorable mannerisms. I hope it's well-received, being arduously conceived, but I'll openly accept criticisms. Coral, though you must (and do) work a lot, work harder at those things which can't be bought (i.e. relationships, love, and empathy) for even the natural workaholic bee requires mutual love. Even while working find a small moment to sing this song. I hope it's enough.

my roommate says i'm a workaholic
You are entitled, they say I asked for too much on christmas. I asked for time, and wished for difference. She stands on stilts and judges outsiders This is all for you, she claims From behind the shattered window pain. I gave birth to you, she says. You are an adult. Scratch that. You are a child. Strikethrough. You are a burden. I am crippled without her I am broken when she's near She doesn't want to hear She's too far gone.

Sixth Grade Workaholic
She wins... She always does After a long busy stay From missing her all day I go home to her And she's there, she's always there, Patient, soothing and tender Luring me to bed... As I fight her charms, Trying to stay up; workaholic impulse raging! I win... For a moment or so Daring to focus For a couple more hours Desperate not to give in At least not without a fight. She peeks out from our bedroom Sneaking up from behind, As I snooze momentarily But I can't win this fight, there's no use trying! Accepting defeat, I embrace her Letting her caress me She entraps me all night I'm lost, against my will I know I'll wake up guilty, Wishing I could send her away But I'm stuck with her for life And she takes so much of my time Time I could use for work But no, she won't let go; not when I always yield! And no, she's not my wife She's not even my girlfriend Not some girl from across the street Just a nobody, named Sleep! © Raphael Uzor

Sleeping Beauty
If I could ask for one thing in my life One thing only I would wish that one day I will fall in love with someone who loves me back whether it is born from the darkest coldest depths of sorrow when winter is every where and trees hang above you like a bad oman whether it is when you least expect it in your favorite coffee shop or the one you've never been to before hunched over a computer screen like the workaholic you know you are whether it is in the most romantic place in the world on top of the Eiffel Tower arguing over an engagement or a birthday it doesn't matter as long as we both love deeply and strongly as long as we are best friends partners in crime as long as every moment together is cherished no matter how long we have. Please, let us love unconditionally.

Workaholic
Harsh unyielding sunset, buries me against the page. I won't be lazing on a couch, left to rot and waste away. Wormy plush Berber carpet soft against the afternoon. Debts are pile high and the company picnic is this June. The pages are vellum paper covered in ancient Egyptian script. I've loved you methodically ever since we met inside that crypt. The dregs brings me solemn hope that one day we'll breakthrough. Works calling in on Sunday for some overtime that's overdue. Its a 5 past 4 the glass lays arrhythmic, shattered at my feet. We found each other down beside the casket of the diseased. Heartfelt words never came out of a mouth that were so pure. How could you take me for interesting, in life I'm just a bore. Down. I've already ruined the letter meant from me to you. Life is not a fairy tale to broker marriage for us two. Bloodletting's an aphrodisiac to keep me at the brink. Why'd I write this silly thing when I spilled my drink.

Workaholic march
A loving father and husband To provide for your family Heading to office When birds greet Dawn with chorus Hark, hark and hark Back home, sitting Over a computer till It gets pitch dark Bearing a workload That could cause ED if not a heart attack, You make sure luxuries Your wife and Off springs never lack, To indirectly ram home Your love for Your better half As a broad day light Is stark. But when your marriage Lost its ****** spark Her resolution shattered She sought love Behind your back. You failed to sensitize Her about her beauty Your number one duty, Also sometimes making A paradigm shift You were not A bit naughty. Out of line from a Henpecked husband, You failed to defamiliarize That do not you realize? You should have made her Feel an object of desire That was what could have Rekindled the flame And the fire. When you make Love to her Think not what Makes you buckle Under depression Such as lack of promotion, Ego-rocking feelings Must not distract Your attention. You should ever try To scale ****** new height Every night. Workaholic, unless You jog, jog and jog When you go to bed For her you will be No better than a log. To the dump yard She could throw you A broken toy Unless you afford her A joy Cuckolded by a man On the wrong side of a boy. With someone else When a woman gets into bed She deletes you Out of her soul, heart and head That is why, As her husband, she denied You a go ahead! Mindful of this fact It is not too late To fix a date Stop your Fate to lament!

addiction is Addiction is ADDICTION!
My eyes were watery you did not see and turned blind. I kept expecting care and love that you never showed and kept yourself busy in your so- called office works. Today I stand somewhere beyond that you ever thought of and now you seek for my closest attention to focus on you rather on my tasks. You pretend to be the key person but your are not for you never cared for your family and kept yourself aloof. I- a compassionate an amorous- woman. You- a **** a lackadaisical- a workaholic man.

Expecting love
I am not praising you, With any unwanted words. Whatever I come across, I just write in few words. My pen cannot remain idle, It just feel like writing down few verses, which I cannot tell on ones face directly. He is a man with a passion for his work, so dedicated to his work. With flattery words one cannot win him ever. Send him birthday wishes, he will never love. But with what dedication you do the work, only pleases him ever. There cannot be any explanations for the excuses if any. Just in plain words speak the truth. His eyes are too sharp to judge you perfectly. His memory is too sharp and Blessed with great sense of humor. Shaking hands meeting eyes to eyes, His eyes speak of boldness. Blended with beautiful qualities of, Self Disciplined and inner strength. He can sail through any storms, which he had proved many times. His strictness may not be liked, as a man of disciplines. He is a man full of life and charms. A man, who has the courage to do the right thing. But I will never tell, Who you are. I love to praise the qualities, Whatever my eyes see, What ever I hear, For I know the person. It's the plain truth I am writing, Regarding him in my verse. He may not read my verses, so boldly I can write regarding him. If someone asks who is he, For, I will never tell. For it can be you or anyone who comes with these qualities ever. I have never seen a man, just took few hours of leave for his surgery. Surprise it was that he directly he went to office the moment he was discharged. So dedicated to work. All I can tell is, He is a rare person with so many qualities I have ever met. Yes, I do respect him and his qualities, which he owns. He is a unique man of rare with lots of achievements. God Bless Him with best of health and happiness always! Thank You!

I was born to be a child that planted seeds of happiness in whoever I met, so my parents have told me. I don't think I have ever had the leading role in this play. I've never been that girl who everyone fawns over with the spot light shining on her all the time. I was meant to help others like the backstage hands. My biggest accomplishment was teaching my mom how to laugh at herself. She has always been that busy workaholic type. At this point in my life, it is only Act III Scene II and there hasn't been a visible plot yet. My soul is chameleon, and it is indecisive as to what color it should be. My ideas of what I want to give to this world change all the time. But soon if I don't pick, I will be thrown into a ****** without any heading. My most secret dream is to become a painter, but nobody has ever understood that part of me. When I paint, I lose all consciousness of the outside world and there is no incentive to paint besides the love of  looking at a finished piece. Maybe one day I'll be a starving artist who gets a break and then I will get my spotlight on stage.

My Role In This Play
This is the promise that I'll keep, I will try to have a long sleep, A long sleep that would be so deep, That I can't hear my cellphone's beep. Oh, I'm so tired of all this work, I am trying to do my best, But my boss is a one big dork, He thinks I'm just one of the rest. I never thought that earning money, Could be as hard as raising child, But please remember this honey, All things in the world could turn wild. I just want to embrace my bed, Forget all my problems and sleep, 'Cause in my dreams I would have fled, This is the promise that I'll keep.

My neck hurts from the curves that come when I exert, enough energy to network with these nerds and increase my net worth, she’s an alcoholic hanging out at the bar I’m a workaholic raising the bar, so take a guess at who’s efforts are worth more, anyways here we are, or rather there we were, since I’m with another girl now, and no longer with her, I’m with a girl I met on Venice Beach, who wears tattoos on both arms like sleeves, which is ironic since that’s also where she wears her heart, at any rate I’m with a girl I met on Venice Beach, we had dinner then had *** a typical set of activities on any given night in this city, and after she finished she said I’d crossed a line, and she proceeded to tell me a story, of how she’d been gang ***** a few years ago, and how she still carries what had been done to her around, about how she’d been drugged up then **** fckt, then left alone bruise faced ****** assed on the ground, no reason to sugar coat it, men can be fcking disgusting, that’s why if I was a woman I’d be a lesbian, and I don’t mean that in any way that’s funny, we spoke in our awkward line crossed post *** sweat, laying there exhausted on my bed, we talked about how men are such conflicted creatures, how they can be so nice on the surface but so mean with *** how most of them are just looking for a place to stick it in, and how sickening that fact is especially since I’m one of those ******** and she left my house soon after but I didn’t expect her to stay, especially since everything we’d begun to make had already turned into a disaster, and as she disappeared into the night, on a bike as black as the sky, I thought about how she reminded me, of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and why… ∆ LaLux ∆

I lift baby onto my back. baby is twenty nine years of outsider atmosphere. baby swallows and my stomach becomes the pecking in my stomach. baby is distracted by the attention eternity demands. baby drops and my mind enters a snowball disappearing centermost of a dark summer pond. baby’s mother rafts workaholic to where work suffers to invent for the harmless today this trap door for an unfinished fly.

straw as microscope
Oh! What a pity!! The mighty man of memory A earth to be looked up at, to recollect A coffin that lives for Billion generations He started like any other Egg What a Workaholic being of history No pin he ever got bears his name From many arms, he leave to mouth Here comes promotion, the word of life A week for him to climb the stairs He started preparing like a Serious dead would do Burnt candles like Bare-footed garment men would do Organised personal vigil like Oyedepo would choose Just to climb a bit higher And all went a six days On the day to Hecky-Torky Prepares like a chef would have chosen to cook for the Lords Spares just a little hour to answer the nature At the end of the day lays to take a rest So that it could come just the day Before the Clock crows ... ... ... He wakes no more His sweat with him now rules, but six foot below here Like a Moses, he never saw the Paradise he longed for A peace rest, the world bid him Even when he could not wake to say No

A White girl figure with a blank face and a dress cropped over her knees lays smeared flatly onto a restroom door; a black star encrusted shoe kicks open the Door. In comes a knocking the delusions of grandeur that stay suspended in the Fragrance of workaholic soccermoms. In one of the bathroom stalls swims a ****** rosemary, teenage midlife-crisis Averted. Theses tests were ironically positive for the genesis of an unborn Icon. I might have just used the wrong definition of irony. Moving on. A hand flushes the remanents of immortality down a sparkling, smiling toilet. Rolled poems become unscrolled when writeen on the pampered virgins paper. In the next stall, there lives substance for the homeless man in the deep, brown soil Of the marsh. A trash can is hunched over the sink, attempting to dispense it’s Apathy for a commercial world. He turns the corner and sees writeen on the wall in legible, abstract graffetti; “Ugliness is shrouded under layers of positive contradictions.” The words are engraved deep into the cracked out, white tile wall. Socialist Olympic torches blaze before ash crumbles into communists tendencies. The water is clear but the benches are polluted with foreigner sea **** and beneath the jangled sands lie the zombies stuffed deep in the black body bags.

I m mightier than sword, If my owner uses me right, I can **** without a stab, I can start a war, Stop a war and a lot more, I give light to all those who lost cause, For all those who got something to say, But can't say it, I help them make it, I don't discriminate, by color, race or religion, I help them write, I give them a vision, I got you your first job,made your parents proud, I help move crowds. I m a workaholic, I like to keep spitting ink, without a pause, I m a writer's weapon of choice, I m the silent voice, If you use me right, I can make your girlfriend moist, I m your Sunday solitude, And Monday news, I m the only thing you might own, When you die broke, I can help your last words, In the form of a suicide note, Or clog myself at your father's last breath, Make your inheritance go to charity, So make sure you use me right and not play with me, I ********* leave the pages ***** Leave stains hard to wash away, For my owners who lost their way, And don't know how to use me, Call me moody, I can make your shirt pockets get noticed, So I just pray, my next owner be a true writer, Who has his mind aligned to me, and wouldn't lose focus, I hope one day I will help him write an opus, I can make you nostalgic, give you memories, Help you remember things, You can use to sketch, If my cousin's lid breaks, I don't have the same shades he has, But it depends on the user's skill, And if I ever run out you can refill, My golden age has passed, But I still got it, I fight against 100 keys, But then again I got it locked, And the keys on the keyboard, Are like Nas, What would you be without me? I gave you power*

I come from a workaholic and an alcoholic and maybe that's why I'm so **** sure I'm just a little bit pyschotic. We all have bad days Where we want to curl up and cry But somewhere I'll remind you The sun fought the clouds to shine. And I come from screams and fighting and blame So maybe that's why it feels like no day is my day. But you, my darling, Remind me of yellow. Bright and beautiful Blooming like petals. I come from darkness and fire But what I have realized is In this life We are all from something, that's not what makes us. It's where we're going that counts.

We are constantly being defined by labels As if that is all that matters Oh you're a teenager, all you can do is wait tables Im a wife, I'm a daughter Until all that shatters Widow and orphan, newlywed or divorcee Freshman, gothic, black or white, king and queen. Workaholic, hobo, immigrant, pale face The only label that should matter Is us - The human race.
