Best Deprivations Poems

Drip

Drop

Water drop cascades under sapphire afterglow
Undoing 4 month deprivations

Muffled moans surround crimson fireplace

Crackling of fire
Thrusts of skin
Retinal vibrations shutter her pilot light deep within

She ascended to blue moon heights
As embers of his inferno
Bow in collective unison

Maddening grips

His fingertips draw triangular markings
Hugging curvature’s hip

Gentle bites on...

"...The Secret of the Golden Flower is not only a Taoist text of Chinese yoga but also an alchemical tract. (...) it was the text of The Golden Flower that first put me in the direction of the right track." C. G. Jung

In the corner of my room,
you’ll find many a decentralizing delirium dust
Where my mind does consume, 
peripheral visions of a malevolent distrust
Deprivations that entomb, 
metabolic disturbances of cunning combust
Temporal lesions loom,
of psychotic disorders in a state of thriving thrust.

I see you but cannot touch,

Delirium Dust

It is a translation of a poem I wrote in Russian. I tried to post that one too but PSoup didn't print the characters :(
So, because it's a poem, don't expect a 1 to 1 relay. This where meaning, wings and emotions are taking over...

She A Flower So Delicately Blown

Hath there been far more kinder words I said
in my deep-fired angry accusations.
Our romance would have carried on instead
of this dark dungeon of deprivations!

Our first dance had given such treasured fruits
birthing that fantastic ecstatic kiss.
She was a beautiful belle, Southern...

Hauteur brigand bound for gratuitous strand
Knows not he is country's chattel, enemy's contraband
As gallant marauders o'er ages spanned
His quest for glory fate will countermand
Gleeful lad starting out on quick, definitive errand
Becoming grizzled veteran in war that will opportunistically expand
Raw recruit ready to fight for: family,...

They will tell you
In simple language 
(As is the language of truth)
Of murders, tortures and deprivations
By an alien race
Of sons and daughters of the plains
They will show you 
As in a dream
The hills of wheat and dams of milk
Carried away on the iron snake
To feed...

Dear Shari Todd – written July 29, 2015

Deprivations slave
On cold island rock
Forced into a cave
Held against my will
Captive from daylight

Mean men take me
Tie me with rope
Seal the entrance
No food, no sleep

I smile wide
Earthquake comes
Releases

Freedom!

Me

For all the weighted years of empires
Stockpiled with human grief
For all the fallen towers of desires 
From which love has no relief
For all the cargo of the heart and ships
Tossed and turned where water whips
Across storm battered seas
For all the load of civilizations
Buckling him down...

Paraphrasing Dickens
speaking of Great Expectations
through Pip's distraining voice,
Our worst religious weaknesses
and political meannesses
and self and other deprivations
are usually committed
for the sake of avoiding elitist people
whom we most actively distrust.

On the other hand,
trust invites vulnerability
as distraining poverty embraces wealth,
honesty,
integrity,
expanding democracy
and cooperative co-investment.

Oppressive religious and cultural repressions...

Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.

Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.

But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled resolution for liberation.

War's prosecution, through execution,
Forged dedication for recognition;
Its culmination...

Healthy organic systems
remain resonantly peaceful,
resiliently stable,
exhilaratingly good humored
as they remain easily
naturally
spiritually cooperative,

Nonpartisan played with win/win consensus
among robustly multicultural
compassionate
communicators;
whole open system comedians,
wizards and witches of multisensory experience.

Healthy 
organic 
win/win empowerment systems
are the opposite
of lose/lose absence of relationships
bipolar,
mutually antagonistic aggressions,
self-righteous assertions,
deliberately wounding intentions
to annihilate,
disempower alien Others;
and, thereby,
further...

(alternatively titled eldest daughter despises us)

Eden (beloved eldest daughter) icy
flat tone of voice spoke volumes,
when she talked with the missus and me
courtesy cellular telecommunications key
December twenty seventh
two thousand nineteen
unwavering listless dull verbalization see
I subsequently told spouse, she
thy super smart self reliant progeny

fending for herself approximately
