Short Deflation Poems

   Anticipation's frustration's caught

     in destination's deflation......

anxiety insinuated pressure

denigration isolation, 

spiritual deflation

all of today's ingreidents beyond

our needs,in abundance, 

from (where?) does this all come.?...

Oh, to carry this sensation of elation
  onward forever, to each coming station

Yet the inevitable deflation
  the aggravation, the frustration

Become the motivation
  ~ to reclaim revelation...

It went
with my mind
It went
with my method
It went
before I had it,
like the cold air
smoking through fingertips.
Frozen lines
case tumours deflation.
All this time, with nothing to do
but give
and get given....

What’s Up

the Viagra he took for inflation
in search of complete satiation
but three hours in
he screamed “not again”
and sought aid for elation’s deflation

When we’re off to a war, we are full of elation.
But that feeling is subject to rising deflation.
Once we’ve lived through privation
and have prayed for salvation,
we are left with vexation, frustration, stagnation....

~ What Papa Taught Me ~

    Save, don't spend
      The good times will end

    Extravagance, for fools
      Frugality rules

    A penny saved
      A penny earned

    A dollar wasted
      Independence spurned...

    Inflation, deflation
      Whatever the situation

    Cash is King
      Credit ~ bling...

Reading contest requirements
which make me jump over hoops,
shakes my head until it droops,
discourages me from submitting ,
rather than writing I end up spitting,
it is a game of utter frustration
as my psyche goes through deflation,
and my muse hits a ten-foot tall brick wall,
screaming all the way because of the fall.

What a creation!
A creature of elation
Gave me a sensation
Of heart palpitation
It ate a carnation
In the midst of lunation
And grew with inflation
For such a duration
That held my fixation
Itself a flotation
Until it's deflation
And sunk for hydration
Spotted like a dalmation
Yet more like a crustacean
That gave me causation
To realize my narration
May only be imagination...

All I hear is constant noise,
I try my best to escape
Its always there.

Sadness is always at high acceleration
Causing all this deflation
All I hear is constant noise. 

Sadness is like that earworm,
Most times it doesn't want to leave
Other times it reincarnates into another format
Its always there.

It follows you,
It threatens your life
You feel so caged,
Its always there....

Run, hurry up it's falling 
The hope 
A brighter future 
Youths yelling
Yelling from season
To season
Without seizing
Inflation
Price 
Tag
Rising
Each 
Dawn without hope 
For deflation
What goes up 
Must surely 
Comes down
Christ
Broke 
The 
Law 
Gravity
Risen
Ascending
Just like
The
Phoenix
From
Ash 
Nothing 
To
Everything
Prayers,
Hope of 
The youths
Better days
Bigger
Picture
Emerged
So 
Pray
AMEN...

Triggers

Soft & loud
Here comes the storm cloud

Sssh the silent treatment
Meant for cruelty intent

Everyone’s the enemy
Even if I don’t agree

Stomping, slamming,huffing & puffing
Saying he’s only joking and bluffing

Ignoring, interrupting, intimidation
Only leads to darkness and deflation

Rolling his eyes and being dismissive
Thoughts of not to live

Invisible is how I feel
He says it’s no big deal

Triggers are all around
Without any sound
