Work and love; these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis.

My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis.

Returning Back To Basics
How can anyone surrounded by decadence,
Be expected to be innocent of anything?
And how old can one's pretentions get,
Before they too begin to smell like curbed garbage?
Especially when fresh resolutions have just been made,
By those insisting they are going to simplify their lives...
With a returning back to basics.
As soon as those 'basics' are decided to identify.
And they don't interfere with things chosen that are liked.

Poem about Poetry - Cryptic Symbol
some poets shun the audience
their poetry are a self analysis
of neurosis and psychosis hidden
behind a field of cryptic symbols
readers who stumble onto their work
feel like walking in space where things
they have never seen circle round and
round their heads

Four Letter 'Work' Song
Work me up, work me out, work me flip side down.
Work me here, work me there, work me with renown.
Work me hot, work me greedy,
work me through and through.
Work me to the very marrow,
work me just like I'd work you.
Work me proud, work me late,
work me do not hesitate.
Won't you let me work for you?
Work me til I'm black and blue.
Work me steady, work me needy, work me to a lather.
Work me til my backbone breaks, and the buzzards gather.
Work me in, work me under, work me til I bleed,
Work me over red hot coals, work me like a boss in need.
Work me nasty, work me silly, work me through the clover.
Up down, 'n' in between, into a slipknot sweet Jehovah.
Work me, work me, go ahead.
Work me, work me, til I'm dead.

No wind here
No wind is here in this place
And the light does not flicker.
In this place in this time
Go on doing allotted task
And enjoy it.
Enjoy doing the work
And stuck to the basics.
I am consistent you know
And on the ground
And I never know
How my dream comes true
That I never dreamt.

Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.

It takes a lot of energy and a lot of neurosis to write a novel. If you were really sensible, you'd do something else.

Suzzi
Prepositions, words, and the acts of my love towards you;
For the index of my mind is abstracted to you like the wind!
But advanced as it may sound to you,
I will still live to love you the more!
Oh love,
I am pleged to your diplomancy with the anticipations of the muse;
And i am the man in your dreams.
I know what you need and what you want,
For i am placed in your heart!
And, you can't deny this fact as shown on your face.
Suzzi, i am the man in your heart;
And do not confuse your neurosis with your sex appeals,
Because real women in the society do have their fragrance too.

Payment
A tortuous path of neurons arced a call: ‘Awake! ’
I did; in rising, peering, stretching, bearing,
Pained anticipation saw it all:
Foretold, another filthy day.
I drew the drape: diluvian lay the ground
Beneath a lazy leaden cloud – apissing out
The puddles; irksome on the roof –
The drumming drops of bitter glee
Were hounding out a hapless me –
Reinforcing doubt that I am sound.
I left the house
to go to work
to earn a crust
without a perk
then on to bust
another straining vessel.
Trudging on thro’ mud and clay, I pondered:
‘Why a drought of happy times?
Auspicious climes were
Old and fusty books
Atop a dusty shelf
Inside a morgue-of-a-room,
Somewhere in a long-forgotten library
Down a lane without a way.’
I thought again: ‘And still I pay.’

Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work:
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work, sleep, work, sleep,
Work.
Oh free me please with gentle ease
From work, sleep, work, sleep, work!
This odium, pounding tedium
Of my work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
Just whisk me off to lands afar
From work, sleep, work, sleep, work -
That grinding train of rhythmic pain
Called ‘Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.’
Poor neural circuits fizzle and pop
In work, sleep, work, sleep, work,
In trying to make some sense of all this
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
But Hark! I see a golden gleam -
A saving spirit of hope:
‘You’re fired! ’ He screams. What news to bear,
This wondrous hangman’s rope!
So now I’m free, released from all this
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work -
Eternal peace and rest for me, no
Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
