Short Palaces Poems

The palaces of the rich
And their lifestyle
Are nothing but waste of wealth!...

Henry the Eighth
Ate far too much in palaces
Oh dear for the deer in
A park.

I stepped on the waves,

The sunset's palaces to reach--


Asleep weary sun!

The twisted logic
of the megalomaniac
keeps reality
at bay
bejeweled in tinsel palaces
blissfully unaware
of mounting public anger
to sweep the cancer
away....

Joy,

Never feels dancing

In

Gloomy palaces 

But

Delighted is to dance 

In

Gleeful Shacks!

One's unending greed to built palaces on earth at any cost 

Succeeds in building dungeon in hell's domain for his soul!

ST.   PETERSBURG   IN   JANUARY



Frozen stillness of canals:
Venice    in   aspic.

Golden-domed church......
Heaven’s    bulbs    auric.

Palaces everywhere  -
History   majestic....

cascading water
flows into braided rivers
rush of white water

palaces of sandstone
towering monolith
statuesque splendor

weathered mosaics
ancient cathedrals carved in stone
natures masterpiece...

Come night, come,

Let me enter, into the palaces of your

Wondrous dreams  


For


Weary, my soul has become, of day’s 

Relentless schemes!

How can i sleep when 
i hear you crying?
You are innocent; you are weak.
At  your cost we all live.
We understand and accept the reality.
But we interfere and compromise.
We build our palaces 
upon your corpse....

Oh, sweet nature you are beautiful but sad
as you think back on the bounty you once had.
Artic palaces stood firm for many years.
Now the shifting, rising shore so closely nears.

(for Chris Okigbo)

Brief!
The sparks of her face
Shone like the shiny water –

Decked with an eternal beauty
Of a brief exit
As a star on the earth:

Hidden drums drum her
To dwelling places
Planted in the Niger –

A damsel:
Sparks of guardianship
Is lost at a river-side:

Into the deep palaces
Of the water-maid....

Girl from a bajou
running wild
glowing in the Sun
she said my personality was cleared
and there was not anything lacking 
She's built  her palaces on parasols
When she was mine
The World seemed turning
Imagine never  having to frown,
by moonlight
I found my belle on my way home
she bestowed her trust in my hand
then bid me adieu...

empty for centries
forgotten palaces of those
long forgotten themselves
but the city remains
abandoned, yes
but for the wisps
of past events
vibrations that falter not
but resonate with deeds
and history,
unrecorded
home to no one
but the ghosts
of those
still attached in spirit
how many cities
on how many worlds
are home to but
memories unremembered...

I am Lyria.
Short and small
But much stronger than them all.
For though my bodies weak and petite
My mind is steal
And rather neat.
I can create Palaces 
Out of nothing
But bricks of blood and stone
My eyes aren’t sharp 
But clever I am
I see through brain and bone.
And yet
I never forget
For all my quirky creative ways
I’ve loneliest
Loneliest of days....

Some dream of palaces full of silver and gold
In the future of their afterlife, something to behold
Others dream of heaven, and pearly white gates
Passing the judgement, and receiving their fate

But all that I wish is to live as a star
Forever unbothered, my worries so far
Burning with bright blue beautiful light
My siblings the constellation that you see at night...

Eyes met as they walked the market place
Mumtaz and Prince Jahan hearts did race
betrothed for five years before his bride
fourteen children before she died

Prince Jahan it was true love at first sight
distraught at her demise, a shrine of ivory white
built in her honour "Crown of Palaces: now stands
the Taj Mahal is famous throughout the lands

Oh, sweet nature you are beautiful but sad
as you think back on the bounty you once had.
Artic palaces stood firm for many years.
Now the shifting, rising shore so closely nears.
Yet in your changing seasons can be found
still a lovely that in variance abounds.

Mindful of short life
worried about joyful world
missed only on pain of death
he built a palace of palaces
with bread as bricks
his kitchen stood firm
on bull-horns and goat-ribs
milk he used for bath
beer, soup as drinking water
butter and cheese as body oil
gate-keepers all domestic games
musicians models and beauties
of each nation assembled
and every day was his birth-day...

The bricks on the bricks
The stones on the stones
Joined with hard iron
And soft gypsum
Handle the strong hands
To build the buildings
The towers, the palaces
The mills and the factories,
The great contributions
Of those maker hands
To the constructions
To the civilizations,
But those golden hands
Fallen under exploitations
To survive are in fights
Deprived of proper rights....

Rivers flowing, made of honey and sweet tasting milk. The scent of musk so sweet, so sweet.
Palaces made of pearl. Undescribable to the eye.  Un comparable in this world.

I pray, I pray to meet you their one day.

Rivers flowing, gardens of green.  Fruits so tasty and here never seen. Indiscribable, 
incomparable in this world.

Paradise.  I pray, I pray to meet my Lord their some day....

Their elegance astounds you,
Gowns and suits of the finest fabrics,
Palaces and houses,
Like fortresses strong and sophisticated,
They sweep the universe,
With their trips of honor,
Complicated and diversified,
Loveable and likeable,
Like we are and always have been,
They read like a romance novel,
Chapter by chapter,
A James Bond novel well-written.
