Short Deflate Poems

Intermittent masks
deflate guilt squandered gonads
dead on arrivals...

dreams soar on eagle's wing
winds of change deflate ego
water under bridge...

Concepts
enthuse and plans
expand like rubber bands-
then deflate in disillusion's
backwash....

I need to lose some weight
My stomach isn't great
Do some exercise
And don't compromise
Then I hope I'll deflate!...

Word count a burden,
  lines adding weight

Meaning gets crushed,
  —feelings deflate

The fox was looking for a mate
So, that he could take on a date
To help cure his lonely heart
But no one played the part
Which caused his heart to deflate...

The Hungry Games Continue…

In a rose monkey moment
Hungry rides its pale horse
Into the sunset—Stunned;
Basketball bellies 
Refuse to deflate 
Even in death.
The hunger games continue…...

This maybe a contest of sorts
But she said I can't write about sports
'Cause it's not funny of late
To see a man's ball deflate 
And have to debate it in court.......Hahahahhaahh  It's still funny...

outside comfort zone 
activities in an attempt 
to build character in order 
to change the manner in which
i see the world around me
break the bobble 
pop it 
watch it deflate 
never recreate 
such a useless thing again...

If I could
if they let me.
truly I say to you!
I would expel the rifle
that inhabits my unconscious,
would deflate all tricks,
unused
would deflect everything
impossible to savor me
in full consciousness...
I would abandon the spiritual void
to live naked
and full for love...!...

When I cry out your name,
 can you hear it out at sea?

My voice echoes inside my head,
 but does it travel far beyond my bedroom walls?

My head is furnished with memories of you and I,
 are these memories enough to keep our love going strong?

The answer lies within our swollen hearts,
 but will they ever deflate to reach what we've been looking for?...

A Politician Buying Hats
By Franklin Price
9/7/2015

A politician buying hats
Would be a sight to see
I hope you have a very large
One big enough for me

I'm glad you have those double doors
They barely clear my ears
In my initial searching
Nothing large enough appears

If I was realistic
Allowed my ego to deflate
You probably would have my size
A seven or an eight...

It could raise all this.
Or it may inflame that.
As Your vision spins
both ears start to flap.

So, hold on a minute.
No need to act fast.
Knowing those are risks.
Don't burn out and crash.

These Magical pills
smell like bad fishy trash.
Just take another hit
but pony up the cash.

Say, it gives You the chills.
With a gray itchy rash.
May erase this.
And deflate that....

Too soon, too late
  a sip of wine as evening awaits
  followed by dinner at eight
  you wanted more than what was on your plate
  foolish heart you knew I'd hesitate
  while clinging to my arm at the gate
I kissed your forehead your ego to deflate
  sorry love, I never took the bait
  no need for any long debate,
  must I  translate
  to help you graduate,
it was just a date....

The lecturer behaves 
in such an intimate way
not taking the standard distance
that is derived from the 
model of aristocracy, 
innate superiority 
parenthood. 

The students believe 
cracks in the demeanor of the teacher 
mean that knowledge, 
power, 
the power of knowledge 
is going to leak 
like warm gas 
and that the teacher will deflate 
hissing onto the classroom floor....

Loosen now his tight valves.
You do nothing by halves 
Not like you've bruised his calves
While he's not got what salves...

His tube deflate through valve:
With six-inch nail hit valve,
The air in tube to halve;
When cops into it delve,
Say "A case of mad valve!"

Ask me my opinion:
It's a heart cast- iron:
A daring to pinion
The arms of one's union,
Dues slicing like onion
In Crowned Lion's Union....

Delicate in shadowed signs,quiet gentle whispers dispelling fear.Imagined shapes are erased and moods show through.Sudden melancholy ,obscures the ligt,,distracted perceptions &,obssessions deflate in despair and crush unbelief.Mediocrity breaks down with a true change of heart.The imprinted momentum brings pleasure without measure.The empty space ,now filled by life leaves no echos in the heart in this quest to hide delusions....

Promises, Promises
By Kevin Robey
March 20, 2014

Come on over my friend
While we still have time
Where battle scars end
Is where we will climb

It’s not too late
We’re not too old
Let anchors deflate
The lies we have told

We’ll settle down here
It’s much safer now
No monsters to fear
These dreams we allow

It’s ok to breathe my friend
No demons around this town
Life starts just around the bend
Promises that’ll never let you down

   Promises…
     
      promises…...

Guilt is a heavy load 
     A conscience can only carry
                  For so long
      Before it collapses under 
     It's unwieldy encumbrance
       A pressure on the lungs
     Pushing out air, threatening 
    To smother and deflate them
          Completely of oxygen

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,”

	will justice be served by this ancient truth?

Eyes can't be restored, nor teeth grow to chew
 
	by just doing back what's done unto you.

Inaction may shock your foe's warring heart;

	deflate his command the less you take part.

Perhaps walk away, do not fuel the fight

	let villain's defeat claim his sleepless night.
 
Let justice be dealt by his Karma's fate;

	be free from the task to strike back with hate....

Love's forlorn curt sojourn, forsaken when shaken
By trifle of qualms, charms and alarms
Withers on vine, no fruit to crush into wine
Besotted by starters, but becalmed when main course falters
How often love's hors d'oeuvres flop and scuttle main course and sweet dessert
The seeds of like, first sight thrill, and eye to eye sparkle and interplay
Sprout too fast and wilt in the light of day, 
Spurned shoots thrown down the gauntlet, deflate, die and get flushed away....

Sometimes it’s just over.

It might come 
with a warning,
it might come 
out of nowhere.

Might go on 
longer than it should, 
then come crashing to a halt.

Sometimes it’s just over.

You get that feeling 
in your gut,
that the light 
has been turned off.

And you feel 
your joy evaporate,
and your lungs deflate,
and you’re left 
sitting there,
unsure if to wait.

Thinking.
Wondering.
Left stuck with reality.

The one thing that’s never ending....

Here’s my 2020 vision:
Nothing much will change.
Yet, like every new year
I feel hopeful, which is strange.

All the talk of starting fresh,
The so-called wiped-clean slate,
For most is like a huge balloon
Just waiting to deflate.

The resolutions that we vow
This time will really stick
Will probably not last a month,
Or fizzle much more quick.

Still, there’s a chance determination
Might just persevere
For in 2020, vision
Should be smooth and crystal-clear....

Creation’s Crust


Performing - a chorus line – life dancing
the golden haired seductress saunters past
temptress – pheromonally enhancing –
sweet aura that descends as breezes pass,
the innate scent of instinct’s net is cast.

Mock battles that decide a species fate
feathered prance seeking egos to deflate
survival of the fittest will ensure
that seasons are fulfilled and then abate -
the struggle of creation thus endure.

Sirius sneers
& terrestrial fools 
fiddle

hateful heat domes
crush & deflate
as the earth smolders
& the oceans sizzle
   in the
   season
   of
   hell

apocalyptic eruptions
decorate the dark
angry turbulent skies
unleashing
vertically cruel
scathing tsunamis
in chaotic yet
clockwork rituals
  as our incipient
  Anthropocene
  commences
  efficient
  anti-terraforming

we enter
the gates of
hell & become
reptilian
  under
  the barking
  Dog Star...
