Balloons they float
Across the sky
In rainbow mood
Excessive high

Intruding birds
Like cloudless thoughts
With do's and don'ts
With musts and oughts

Above the trees
Rooted, they cheer
They dream of floating
Far from here

The gusting breeze
Can guide your joy
Away from ground
That can destroy

The brightest hopes
Of friendship's love
Enduring winds
Of push and shove

But bright the...

Deflated Spirits, Deflated Balloon
Misshapen flimsy mass
Rubbage under foot
Wet with spittle and DNA
Morphing into a Dali
Time melting away
Family needs more
Rubbage on the floor
Unmoving joints staring eyes
Hollow unfelt emotions
Sweep over like a helium balloon
Surrealism opens the chest of me
Deflated spirit; deflated balloon...

A Deflated Balloon
Was she a dream
Or was she real
Makes no difference
How I feel

She once was here
But now she's gone
Makes no difference
Right or wrong

She's my life and death
Perfume with in my breath
Makes no difference
If I long

I'm still here
But she's gone...

Deflated Raft 1 and 2
Deflated Raft 1 and 2 – Haiku

     Deflated Raft 1

air depleted, sigh
rubber flat, spinning chaos 
raft takes on water


     Deflated Raft 2

floats on cold water  
flat, under maelstroms great weight 
watch the raft turn, sink...

your critical words
flatten me like a pancake -

Deflated Ego
Sitting here thinking, 
while I’m holding my own,
I’m wondering how so many big heads
 fit into a pontifical cone?

Riding in a chair of gold leaf, 
always raised way above the rest
No wonder these elevated mortals
start feeling they’re better than the best.

Oh omniscient, watch out for...

Situations Deflated, Inflated and Conflated
Spray faith all around you lest you should go astray
Clinging to and clutching shells of emptiness
In your conformance to the spiritual and moral ray
That stresses naughtiness and pettiness 

Hoping to raise standards
Steeped in diligence and excellence
To keep all stakeholders and guards 
 On their toes...

Though there are a few downsides in my life
The good still outweighs the bad
Love’s never deflated

My dear old uncle Bill 
Thought he'd try a Viagra pill 
The only affect 
Is he got a stiff neck 
Which seemed to amuse auntie Jill....

Ode For a Deflated Wife
Gather her up
with rubber gloves and Lysol.
Toss her gently on a bed of roses.
Yank her light switch,
immerse blues in soft sell.
Whisper of wealth yet to come,
encourage with chocolates,
agree to die first;
love her back to roundness....

You once brought me hope and sunny days,
now I sit in shock and dazed.
How could you turn your back on me?
I did nothing wrong that I can see.
I sat in shock and disbelief,
what once was hope has turned to grief.
Despite the truth...you turn your back,
you...

I Wish Our Friends Could Meet
I Wish Our “Friends” Could Meet

I wish our friends could meet one day. 

I met my so called friend when I moved schools.
I quickly learned that this friend is truly not a friend.
his annoying friend, we’ll call her “she”, would tag along to every single...

Goodbye By Byron Juno
My way is not that far
my path is not that black tar
my bicycle is deflated
but your heart is inflated
i go in peace and war the way i came
all i see in my eye is a blank game
your yellow pale face
turning shifts like a phase
the crescent...
