Best Deflates Poems

Shadows of yesterday eclipse reality,
but in hope lies my dreams;
mired in doubt and frustration, I'm left waiting.
Waiting for love's elusive touch, indulging in pleasures
that are never enough; always wanting more,
and as fledgling feelings flex
impatient wings; I wait.

When desire suddenly morphs into lust,
and love is consigned...

"Peace in the Nowhere"

Ghosts remain in this place
they read their words 
marked each day on walls
like prayers, it gives them
peace in the nowhere

someplace relevant to go

Ghosts commune in this place
disowned long ago or walked
off the edge home, they scry
in pooled reflections drinking in
lost intelligence through...

In the land of laundry, I search high and low,
for missing socks - wondering where do they go?
Each morning, I search for a matching pair,
but they seem to have disappeared into thin air. 

They were together in my washing machine,
I set the right temperature for...

“Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.”  Voltaire


In sapphire skies, so soft, serene and fair,
a balloon floats adrift...

Will you still love me…when my lustrous black hair your fingers are ever drawn to, 
turns thin and dull and gray?
When that youthful glow and my rosy cheeks wrinkle and my beauty fades?

Will you still love me…When you no longer recognize the sultry sway of...

Green bark a prism creates,
Feel the pull of earth, you must.

Rotates, a slime of endless hates,
Can hold me not, this world’s crust.

Friendship’s ties, isolation Deflates,
Succumbs, my spaceship, to bitter rust.

Mist, my soul forever permeates,
Lift-off, booms the rocket’s thrust.

My spirit when light returns, elates,
Swamps swell, swallowed...

The excitement starts
The second I wake up
I have the biggest smile ever
Today I am jumping
Today I will fly

My stomach has butterflies
A tea and I’m ready to go
To the skydiving hanger
To my chariot with wings

The tiny aerodrome 
Welcomes me home once again
They are like family
Watched me...

Happiness is like a balloon. 
It comes in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. 
Sometimes you might lose it, or someone takes it away. 
Sometimes it pops or deflates. 
But you must have the will to blow up a new balloon, 
knowing no one else...

My secret cries are my pains I hide, hidden from the world to see. 
Hidden so intense my soul became debility of weakness. 
My heart hinders to collapse and deflates.
Completely of decay, secretly lessen for the amounts of importance.
Shedding everyday by natural process, my cries...

Sunday in February
a pigskin
deflates on the one yard line....

Faking feelings is what you do best,
undermining hope with false feelings.
And deceived by lust's many guises,
increased your vulnerability.

Fantasy divides reality
into darkening shades of despair.
And feeling all alone, you struggle,
believing that no one even cares.

Anger fuels your disappointment,
while jealousy extorts love's absence.
And truth provides little protection
from...

Brainwaves, restless energy, lighting up the stadium.  Munching
pistachio nuts, hedging my bets on the home team.  Cold skin,
transmitting neural code back to ground zero, to be filed under 
January.   The smallest planet in my galaxy, cold, dark and lifeless.

The quiet circle...

Joyful child runs to the sea
 following footsteps
 in red,
 spattered 
 sand

 She stops mid stride,
 a gasp 
 deflates her
 as blue 
 turns to
 red

 Blood soaked devils
 stab 
 and slash 
 and 
 laugh

 Tears fall 
 and she runs

You rock me wildly
 To the black rhythms of juju music from the radio;
 Drinking horn in hand.
 Not too drunk to tread
 The course of blue, warmth
 And moaning shadows behind batiste curtain.
 Waves crashing beneath your waist beads
 Ripples tickling the reeds of...

Unsteady stride, feeling weak, deflates any thought of pride. I have to pull it 
together, find my stride.

Caught with my guard down, never saw it coming, the blow to my heart was 
painfully numbing. Feel like I'm stuck on a merry-go-round, going in circles, never...
