Short Relegate Poems

Like an iconoclast -
who desperately wants to remove
the portrayal of a false god
from the mural -
I want to relegate you;
your image from the chapel of my mind.
Oh, how I wish to do this tonight..!...

Sparring with demons, and dragons and deadheads
It bobs and weaves like a drunken sailor.
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient
I'm quite attached to it - joined at the psyche.

Image of an incubus twirling as I do.
Patron Saint of agony, I curse it
And relegate it to a 2nd-class personage.
Out, damn spot, out - and take the blood with you....

AN ORGANIC CHILDHHOD (1940'S STYLE)
School was out,
vacation touched our gate,
long days,bedtimes late;
time,routine we relegate

Bird nesting,climbing trees,
building dens,adults unseen,
picnics and make-believe;
imagination-filtered dreams

Unsupervised,wandering free,
adventures sans boundary,
no cares,no chores;
natural boyhood to the core...

Leave it hanging in the stars leave it round the bend 
sometimes forgetfulness can be a real God send 

Entrust  it to the moon above to an ocean full of Grace 
velvet memories, regrets, evaporate without a trace 

Live in knowledge it is safe you can trust the light ,  
relegate confide in Hope, before the end of night.

Yes, we’ve got the message
But what of its passage?
From your factories vapor
That does not foster rapport:
To residents a mission
Cushioning the emission…

I fear rearing stalemate 
And a final waiting bait.
I wonder the smart platform
You’ll set up to quell the storm.
Whom you choose as Delegate
They shall behind relegate…

To Angering Pollution
Bribery not solution...

The lark performs at your behest, 
and rivers run their course at your command,
the moon spills brilliance, 
lights the way, directed by your hand.
 
The stars are sparkles in your hair, 
bright sprinkles in the dark of night, 
your heart and soul sing love songs 
that engage the wind in airy flight.
 
Soft and gentle are your ways, 
sweet your countenance that glows, 
the sun you relegate to shame, 
this your nature doth disclose!...

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end 
It's a choice
To accept 
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer 
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place them by your side
Watch the blurring treeline, shifting away my eyes
I've certainly lied
Proxies for good faith
I've blurred those lines
It's still a choice...

Let every woman go bold
let every woman find her stronghold
with doors of knowledge therein
Every woman enter to reign
For womanhood is pure gold

Let us then support them women
For if we disobey it is bad omen
That relegate into beings less
That are cursed never to bless
Nor utter good amen

Speak freedom woman speak!
For womankind is no more weak
Walk your way into the kingdom
Where all law is wisdom
As you climb upwards to the peak...

...for Juvie


The larks perform at your behest, 
and rivers run their course at your command, 
the sun and moon spill brilliance 
to light the way, directed by your hand. 

The stars are sparkles in your hair, 
sprinkled in the dark of night, 
your heart and soul sing love songs 
that engage the wind in airy flight. 

Soft and gentle are your ways, 
sweet your countenance that glows, 
the sun you relegate to shame, 
this your nature doth disclose!...

Yeah,I am a devil....a bigger devil...
Who can hurt,hinder &,even,kill...
I can hammer hopes,break promises...
I can reduce a heart to a thousand pieces...!

I can commit a blunder...a ghastly sin...
I can be truly wicked for a win...
I can be brutal....& inhuman....
I can relegate the beauty of any woman...!

I am a murderer....a merciless rapist...
Who can mar the morals for what I wished....
I am the God of devils....the face of shame....
Yet I react when someone calls me by this name...!...
