Banquette Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThe Heart Knows What The Mind Doesn't

Believing in you is
Being just you, the simplicity of you
Embracing each twist and turn
Stepping outside the confines of your mind 
Revealing truths and bringing clarity in chaos
Engaging in the art of the here and now
Changing dark unnecessary innateness
Diving into each brushstroke, swaths of colorways 
Letting the moment paint a masterpiece uniquely yours
Freeing up the shackles of the mind
Feeling compassion of heart and soul
Taking a voyage to the center of universal reality~
Shedding many prejudices indelibly embedded in thought
Unmasking anxieties that do not change the world,
serving only to distract causing mental coil
Trusting your instincts is your compass
Off putting, although valuable truth may be 
a diamond amidst pebbles
Experiencing every morsel of life’s banquette

The length of days consecrate my old eyes
In long sacred lines from tears of silence
As my memories reveal truth and lies
With the masked disguise of my compliance
To watch the yesterdays flicker and fade
The decisions I can never undue
Shaded dark shadows that haunt and invade
As faces and choices float into view
I pluck these fruit, grown in my mind's turned soil
To fill the basket of my life's banquette
Bitter sadness which will often spoil
The ripe lush passions my love beget
To what can I do that I have not done?
To reflect on time, I will not outrun

On the Weekends

We flee
Away from city life
To ancient trees
Forgetting our daily strife.
Where brownies, dwarves, gnomes, and
Fairies befriend tall ones with a jeweled 
Knife.
This place is so neat.
There among the trees as big as life
Is a white unicorn. They're not obsolete.
This was such a treat.
Then we were led to the banquette
Where the king of the fairies said. Please
Take your seats so we can begin to eat.
Don't be loose with your drink remember
We have guests use your etiquette.

Premium MemberA Joyous Toast Cornish Sonnet

Cornish Sonnet

The new year, another day on life's road,
To be passed without the weight of regret,
Nor looked upon as a thing to decode.
While its meaning holds fair reason and cause,
To sit at the table of year's banquette,
And gather one's breath from life, to pause.

We'll celebrate with a joyous toast,
Shortly passed from a year's harvest season.
A diversion that reads like a sign post,
And make lists of changes now pledged.
Clarify with debate, subtle reason,
For promises made last banquette, alleged.

The new year, another day on life's road.
We'll celebrate with a joyous toast.

Black Battles

BACK BATTLES

Back battle begets bleeds,
Bringing back betrayed blood,
Build-up blind believes bestowed
Below background bruises behind.
Birds breakfeed bite bravely
Between body breaking burst.
Be-dragged bed baby-sit by
Beautiful beat-up barbaric beings,
Banish bangle breaks banquette 
because beauty bans bandit,
Bandage. Bad-mouthed business before
Blabbing beasts bust-in bravety.
Barrister back breaking business baffles benjamin,
Back-off bring baggaged banter.

Premium MemberBreath On Thy Breast

She's a mom from a poor family.
Everyday striving in a sidewalks.
No shelter,no roof to shed.
Her life is devastated.
No food ,she scavenges day by day.
She got pregnant,a man didn't stay.
Until one morning has came.
She'd delivered her son in a banquette.
She feeds baby on her breast,
So poor, she can't afford an expensive milk.
To feed a baby she all adore.
She is frustrated to give him ,
A better life, the safest home.
Until one coldest night.
The wind blows so strong.
Her baby suffered for an extreme cold.
She was baffled and nowhere else to run.
Taking her baby,found a tree to hide.
And was amazed by what she found, 
the li'l life she fed on her breast, 
no longer breathed, a cold cadaver. 
The life she used to cradle, had left, 
and gone in the midst of the night. 
Tears fell down on her cheek, 
and she mourned for a baby ,
She had given love and breath.

Premium MemberA Walk To Remember

Watching  busy banquette that morn,
memories flashed  back in my mind.
The day we walked together,
holding each others hand.
We were so happy that moment,
I've seen it with the glaze in your eyes.
A minute I want to hold on forever,
Never allow each seconds to die.
The cold of  wind kissed on my cheeks,
has gone when you whisper goodbye.
The next train is comin',
A walk of love I still remember.

Premium MemberA Wasted Grace

Oh... how heartless I was to think.
Set up a fine dinner for a feast on that eve.
Foods and drinks were flooded everywhere.
Feels like bounties have no ending.


Can someone even think of people who's starving that night?
Sleeping in a sidewalks with a plastic on their hands.
Asking for a piece of grace that we can't even share.
Looking into our eyes,kept blinded of selfish thing.


Then morning comes and see what's left.
A ton of leftovers chilled on a shelf.
Inside is waiting a group of eukaryotic organisms.
Deadly hunger for a feast to be rotten.


Is it quite dumb to imagine?
Wasting a spoon of blessings each day..
I hope everyone has a wonderful year,
May each plates in banquette be filled of wasted grace.

Hey Stop Twinkling and Listen To Me

People say you are inimitable,
And they often acclaim you!
But there is nothing so special,
Like we human endue!

Why don’t you make some noise?
Why don’t you dress up colorfully?
May be you don’t have any other choice
To color your life delightfully!

Sky being gazar…
And gems sewed in it, is star
Well, you surround us with blanket  
When would you serve us with banquette!?


Learn from us stars,
Learn from us…

How to shine, even when atmosphere never permits you
learn to creep and touch the moon,
learn to be unique in spite of your clusters.
Though you constellate you never intimate to each other.

Hey, don’t look at me with livid eye 
all the above is not because of my vanity.
You are the only wonder in the sky
Who would live even after we human die!


Though you stand far apart,
you sow the seed of verve in heart
and whirl as a wheel for the cart,
to join people who depart.
Finally I learned
To make even the darkest night to upbeat …
