Exiled Poems - Poems about Exiled

BANISHED FROM THE ONLY COUNTRY I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I SAY TO MYSELF, IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM. 14 YEARS LATER, AND I STILL WAKE UP IN THIS THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY THAT I WILL NEVER CALL HOME. I'M AN OUTCAST WITH MY EXPULSION FROM THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. AM I DOOMED TO LIVE OUT MY YEARS AWAY FROM...

It's not that luxurious solitude you can choose against a background of sea or desert, a mythological desolation like in Antonioni's film, with that subtle taste of beautiful hopelessness in the subliminal search for identity that ends with a shotgun. That's not the case in Cainland. It's the loneliness of exile into the reduced self, into the...

Here I am standing in this secluded space with the pillow of hope hanging over my face, I cannot go backward or forward, I am backed up into this corner with my hands tied and destiny dragging my feet as I struggle to break out of this exiled home. I came from out of...

"Unreasonable Reasons for Fighting Dragons: Off Planet, Exiled" I could write something beautiful for you, like outside the windows the raindrops slide off tips of green leaves there are tears like pearldrops falling onto moist lips like ripe rosebuds hints of myrtle lemon that the tongue licks like sticky marshmallow fingertips sweetly glued softly placing a bookmark, between pages. we should stop there...

Exiled - Sentinel How do I hate this job let me count the waves Poseidon’s icy blasts torment of seadog knaves slashing at my heels billowing candle snuffers intent upon a darkness denuded of all buffers. Fear holds me frozen awash amid the fury victim of a crooked judge and trial without jury. Clanging shackles bind me in service to the sea doing time on foaming shoal never to...

My love, an exiled of your reign, I might have lost your love, but not the sense, Who dares to oust me from such grace? He who dares must meet my pain. My love, I'm exiled of your love, In some other arms I have not found, Such essence, Such touch, My nightmares turning into lust. Compelled by your grace, Expelled from your reign, I was...

Exiled Marble and steel walls Hold firm phantom barred captivity Knowing but empty space now Amidst the imagined visitors How suffocating this lockup This prison of laser-beamed bondage Rendering ghostlike existence Void of its creators touch Living with but posthumous memory Passion of suffering Continues its origin of pain Shrill its captured moment Frozen its anguish forever Living on concealed The Scream hangs silent In dark gilded confinement...

CENTRAL DARK I used to walk those very same streets Streets of sensuousness and sin Those streets which once felt my feet Those streets where my shoes once had been The storefronts are new but the cement is the same I saw pictures of it on my television screen Those streets are in a city my heart used to claim Those streets which...

Outside the kingdom, there rests, An exiled prince at every one’s detest, A failure of his legacy and bequest, In agony, in gloom, his fierceness suppressed. An evil wizard captured the maiden, In the carriage he tied her laden, In...

I do my best, but I don't succeed I get what I want, but not what I need and I'm so tired, but I can't sleep cause when I do, I start to dream what is it you feel when I touch your face? what you're looking for, and have replaced what I feel all tossed like discarded waste I've played it...

Sent to the dreary realm that is now my home Made to seem I had no choice of what I had to lose Only memories of my mind which I am left to roam A captive of a battle, a judgment I could not refuse Maligned by twisted truth, betrayed by ones most trusted My voice muted...
