Short Banishment Poems

Thou thee claim aerial,
That the world is so,
gnawy and gnashy and cannibal,
thy write up unwounds so,
that it is an advantage to always revolt,
when scar,
let a tale of a story to revisit....

Stealing fire from the gods
Prometheus would yearn
And pass it off to humankind
whose banishment interred

Their feet into the glowing coals 
but faith out from the dark
Enlightenment a powder keg
—uncareful wishing sparks

I walk along, where myriads 

of sunny faces are nodding.

As if to mock fall’s banishment

of summer’s earlier bloomers,

the sunflowers keep on smiling.

Are they dancing in the cool breeze

or are they

waving goodbye to summer?

Tear drops do u hear them?

Drip,drip,drip

Tear drops rolling down my cheeks and roll onto my lips.

Drip,drip,drip

Tear drops of loneliness and banishment,

Drip,drip,drip

Tear drops of heartbreak and hatred.

Drip,drip,drip.

Tear drops roll down my arm and fall onto my pen.

Drip...drip....DRIP.

Then the tear drops i shed finally comes to an end....

History captured it in books
Myths of young girls matching nude
Their innocence hatched into lustful looks
Shackles of tradition
Whips of discrimination
Fear engraved young minds made to believe
That the punishment of banishment is grave.

Time had just begun
Immortal loves above have sung
Touching gods first garden below 
Sins soon to be committed

Theologs ponder life’s creation
Introspection into life, all that existed
Telling tales of desire, bringing us to erotic dreams
Succulent in all ways

Tender are the forbidden fruits
Invoking the expulsion to come
Torrential rains cover paradise floors
Seductive banishment opens eternity’s door...

for surely
during all this
the devil threw down
a bolt of lightning and said

"I told you so"
but shouldn't he
be throwing up not
in disgust but banishment

but it's we
that allow it
to breed for aren't
we the ones that preach

every sun day
even on rainy days
that the devil made him
or her to do it but where did i

learn
so much
stuff about
evil but within
the confines of

a church...

7
7 billion brothers and sisters on rock in space.                                                                                          How is that possible? Right time, distance and situation for many sparks of life.                                                         All to be embraced in unconditional love, a banishment of death and hate.                                              New directions of life. To where?...

The nails cut deep into my clenched fist
Blood escapes life to death’s never ending list
My ebony skin has healed from your banishment 
My translucent soul weeps an eternal testament

Our way back to heaven is measured and laden
With endless detours and sharp thorns lay hidden
We came too soon like an accidentally detonated bomb
Nine months inside your immortalizing womb

My two hands cannot hold enough water
My wide open mouth evil sin can only utter...

DARKER   SHADES.



Have you known some darker shades
Ever bitter vested in hand held grief
Like bolting of steed in fast uplands
Onslaught of undines in yelped streams.

Ancient roads kept in disturbed sleep
Under dripping afternoons of grey storm
There banishment of hope and despair
An adjustment in some vespered norm.

To make physical pain less lonely
A loneliness like sceptred face of time
A fresh start in some polluted airs
To purify festered strains of the mind....

BANISHMENT

                        Words hold each other on like grim death grip
                         A spark a chain reaction a buzz a bumble blip
                        Fission fusion frisson face-off a poem was born	
                                       God punished the poet
                                       God banished the poet
                     From the Garden of Eden, poor Eve’s youngest son....
