Best Banishes Poems

When your heart shuns flattery's lies,
it opens and lets the truth in.
And time mutes the varied voices
fear once amplified deep within.

You know of love's magic through dreams,
where hope's crumbling walls get rebuilt.
And the sanctuary of sleep
banishes whisperings of guilt.

Your mind's a fantasy playground;
filled with flashes...

She gave me a new name that feeds my soul
when others label me, this makes me whole
from heritage is where she drew the word
I must confess this name I'd never heard

Aneolani, what endearing name!
to what it means, I cannot lay a claim
a "breath of heaven",...

Rain’s riot banishes peace of mind day,
Deluge damning dumps devious rage wet.
Storm, summer rain's wild child pours on display;
Lightning fierce, firing fitful since sunset,
Bass booming thundercracks dishing dismay,
Reverb atmospheric quaking dire threat.

Tantrum, summer's sobs throbs at window’s pain--
That this hellish brat exists, blackened bane!

Strobes’ amperage...

Once pierced by Cupid's arrow,
love's the only thing you feel.
For Hope banishes all pain
to the fringes of real.

As euphoria floods in,
sparks spontaneously start.
And a warm sensation stirs;
in the cockles of your heart.

Forged upon desire's anvil;
fantasies burn hot as coal.
And tides of hope surge and ebb;
in...

Of all the blooms that herald spring's return,
The crocus reigns supreme, a regal sight,
As if the earth has shed its wintry stern,
Its vibrant hues a welcome, bold, and bright.

The petals, delicate as morning dew,
Unfurl like silken ribbons in the breeze,
Bring hope and joy to all...

My eyes to something beautiful are drawn
up past the peaks where clouds of pink are swirled.
I take up my pen seeing her again.
It’s the Enchantress Spring I look upon.
She stands with long hair streaming in the wind
of a glorious, bright, beautiful dawn
as the temperate breeze...

Bells

Solitary heart, newborn in brooding silence,
Steps on a cluttered path
Through elms and boughs of broken limbs,
In a pungent, evergreen hush
Absent of astral cacophony 
That falls like mute pennies from wishes,
No buzz nor whirling wings
Disturbs the tacit spell
Until a faint and far-off chime
Brushes against my startled...

Fathers

A father is someone who holds us dear, under a watchful eye he keeps us near.
He protects us from harm and banishes fear and makes our problems so very clear. 
Should we travel in the wrong direction a father is there with a loving protection.
If...

As breaths sink into the pool of dim nights
The wicker of angst grates more than I can bear,
More a fading hope lost in pathways, cracked
By utter alienation from riddled thorns…
Yet, an inner candle banishes doubt,
A lucent halo gleaming ever so near
Though it knows not my...

Things begin turning around and very 
slowly they take a nasty foreboding twist
as Hell's Dragon has not breathed yet 
a deep burning fire melting red his eyes
dripping blood upon fury and destruction
pumping inside the uncontrollable fire 
equal to that of a thousand steamboats 
and only...

He would have dissolved the congress party
Would have stopped at once all its festivity
Certainly would have gone on hunger strike
And, would have, launched a blistering attack.

He would have wholly banned the sacred khadi
That some time ago symbolized utmost sanctity
According to him it stood for human...

The angelic answer of the Almighty Lord comes swiftly 

As Archangels Michael and Gabriel with their Band of 
Burning Flesh - The Devil’s own

Angels enters the earthly plane to confront the Hellfire
vengeance of The Devil and His Dragon as they reap and
sow their evil upon...

You're Not Welcome Here 

When you go to meet your maker, and He says, " How Do You Do?" 
Then He says, quite sternly... 
"Just...Close Your Mouth...I Know Men Just Like You!" 
Whenever you saw a snowflake fall or a twinkle in an eye... 
You...

Bare feet step onto the cold black and white mosaic tiles.
A few tiles are missing, revealing beige glue embedded with purple lint.
An inconveniently small black knob, striped with old toothpaste
is twisted 
to illuminate the reluctant fluorescent fixture above the sink.
Red blood vessels peek through the...
