Premium Member Weightless

My mind is calm,
flooded with endless moments;
Tasting your float tank
sensory deprivation,
I'm left completely weightless.
Form: Tanka


Help Him

Deprivation of the situation,
Starvation proves exploitation
Fascination makes determination
He’s calling but  no explanation
Form: Rhyme

Deprived

Deprivation is a seed
An aura so haunting yet 
sinfully attractive,
pulling, and magnetic
to ignore like a laugh 
so simple yet contagious 
to whole.

Deprived

Tied up
Blinded 
Gagged
Deprivation of my senses
By my Master
No control
Loss of my identity
Trapped in this tunnel
You created for me
To keep me chained to you

Oh not again

Moans, sleep deprivation,
Groans across our great nation.
Blame all dumb inventors, 
Droughts, floods, some mentors!
We'll vanish on timely wings,
Faults saving daylight brings!
Form: Rhyme


Fly

Clip a bird's wings at birth
so she may never feel
the deprivation of stolen freedom,
never a sitting bystander to the open
air, her song never leaving the nest 
from her body, trapped 
Eternal

The Unaffirmed

Withered zest of life, and ashes of bleak hope,  
will have been seeping through the slits of this green heart, 
For one that was not imbued with love, 
is meant to forevermore remain dry and torn apart.

The Voice

The hungry creative seeks a morsel but fails to get
The helplessness and lack of support makes it fret
The one that yearns to succeed seldom gets the floor to tread
The right time, the right care is always to be bred
Form: Rhyme

Fatigue

Fatigue rests in the foggy recesses
Mindful of the deprivation
Of the door about to close
Before the eyes wide shut
That lingers below the lids of madness
Waiting to shout at sleep that
Yells at processes of thought soaked havoc

Parents and Sleep

If we knew in advance that all daughters and sons keep us up every night: yours and mine — everyone’s (teething, peeing and screaming, yet so INNOCENT-seeming), we’d be living in convents like well-rested nuns.
Form: Limerick

Superstructures

SUPERSTRUCTURES

Skyscrapers in every nation,
Signs of mankind's aspiration,
Millions of plebs face starvation.
No dwellings for them, deprivation,
No, skyscrapers they keep building,
How many lilies are they gilding?
What else could they be doing?

Sleep Deprivation

The lighting, it was over-bright
Sleep, now a luxury deprived
For here there is no day or night
The lighting, it was over-bright.
Lethargy saps the will to fight
How long can he retain his mind?
The lighting it was over-bright
Sleep now a luxury deprived.
Form: Triolet

No Contribution To Troubles

Society has been infested and inflicted
With wrong doings, crimes, immorality, horror, terror
Causing deprivation, sadness, unrest;

Let’s share our joyous, happy moments
With the sad, the deprived and the distressed ones
To make their lives easy with comforts.
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Life Is Not Vii

Life is not a banquet or a treat my mortal friends, 

Neither is it a playground for ourselves to enjoy

It is instead a place of strife and deprivation

Where to last we need, God-given talents to employ!

Soothe Is An Abyss

soothe is an abyss I cannot seem to climb down into.

when I realize I am comfortable I feel uncomfortable .

calamity 

is all my body knows.

this little blue “calming” pill

does little but make one somnolent.

sleep deprivation is torture?

then I am my own castigator

Premium Member Sleepless Energy

Attention deficit keeps
my dear man from normal sleep.
He does not know dream stage zees
yet achieves much more than most.
His energy is endless 
despite sleep deprivation.
My love lives life wide asleep.
Form: Verse

Satan Gate Is Obsession

Satan GHOSTLY haunt dirty men
He looks like a GOSSAMER adviser
He is not found in GRAVE so man may rest in peace
Satan for sure loves GODFORSAKEN places
Satan followers shall have GRIEF-STRICKEN end because of loss and deprivation
GROANING is main result of opening gate for Satan to comes in and obsess

Premium Member Nine Days Off

High fives.
Jive talkin'.
I get off at five.

Five is dark these days,
thriving is scarcer and
scarcer.

Deprivation has lots of syllables.
So many that it distracts from contemptible
WAIT!  That sounds judgmental.

I don't want to sound that way.

So I will make my way.
Hope somebody's god grants me
patience!

Insomnia

The sun shines on your 
Dark eyes 
Pale face 
Blank mind
Veiled emotion 
This is the aftermath of deprivation 

The moon sparks up your
Overrun mind
Burdened by today's thoughts 
Reminded of yesterday's emotions
Revisited by last year's memories
Tempted by next year's ambitions 
This is you...deprived

That Unfeeling Feeling

Abyss of
emotions amiss
nebulous
floating numb
sensory deprivation
tank of a blank mind

Is this real?
I feel so surreal
foreign and
strange, too much
change- unfamiliar feelings
that send me reeling

Unfeeling
blindly reaching out
wandering
wondering
how to make it through without
knowing how I feel...

Premium Member The Effects of Covid 19

Cautions & portions 
       Obstruction & destruction
       Rules & fools
       Obligation & deprivation
       Nervous & resurface
       Alterations & expectations 
       Voiceless & choiceless
       Isolation & seperation 
       Radical & fanatical
       Uncertainty & disharmony 
       Solitude & disquietude

A Discrimination

Kim felt a discrimination of in an office of the nation.
"I know your life."said Mr. Blake
Kim said "I dislike this" , and had a fit.
He got mad and grabs Kim's ass.
Kim beat him down with my purse.
He walked away with a mouth cursed.
Two people discuss the situation.
Beneath where two people of a nation felt deprivation.

Premium Member Aftermath

Aftermath

Living through the deprivation
	of the silence and solitude
of former injuries afflicted, 
we come to a new conception of scars in battle, 
they serve a purpose, reminding us that 
we may have suffered from the wounding,
but their presence denotes a well fought fight,
and a strengthening of spirit. 
Round Two?

Scented Prayers


Scented prayers
                  rising up 
                  to heaven 
Smoke inhalation 
            deprivation of 
                earth's sensory 
         "Smorgasbord"

No one and I mean no one 
Lords over anyone here ! 
          in this Tibetan moment 
          of pure Devotion 

              Pure Bliss !!

On Poverty

Deprivation is a great teacher
Empty cupboards and growing weeds

Cause the soul to stir
To disdain idle chitchat and merriment

Lessons learned transform the spirit from sand to granite
Conversely, dissipation and luxury turn lives to shards

Always getting one's way leads to the house of destitution
Too much milk and no meat
