#banished - Hello Poetry

The perplexed, yet stoic faces of the mass Move in perfect synchronicity along its course Frowns felt with crushing gravitational force When existence itself feels like a trespass Maniacal howls pierce the night by the apex Today, the fear of Gévaudan still reverberates Heads in the sand as the beast celebrates The giant’s foot stands firm on feeble necks Underneath pretense, the green light shines To be deemed disposable, classified as obsolete Is when the voices emit their scorching heat On crumbling foundations, the oblivious dines As the once quiet sea explosively expands We find ourselves engulfed by waves and flames Dwelling in this flow, I watch as it claims Tranquility after the chaos is where it ends

Apex of Terror

The perplexed, yet stoic faces of the mass Move in perfect synchronicity along its course Frowns felt with crushing gravitational force When existence itself feels like a trespass Maniacal howls pierce the night by the apex Today, the fear of Gévaudan still reverberates Heads in the sand as the beast celebrates The giant’s foot stands firm on feeble necks Underneath pretense, the green light shines To be deemed disposable, classified as obsolete Is when the voices emit their scorching heat On crumbling foundations, the oblivious dines As the once quiet sea explosively expands We find ourselves engulfed by waves and flames Dwelling in this flow, I watch as it claims Tranquility after the chaos is where it ends

Pluto says Keep your hug Pluto says Dwarf Planet my *** Pluto says Sticks and Stones ************* Pluto says I know what I am I don’t care For your “opinion” Captured by the Kuiper Belt! Please. Or one my favorites, A cold rock! You called me a trans-Neptunian object? I have five moons! An 11 year old girl tried to name me. She won £5 but I’ve had many names. I am fond of Hiro. But I’ve also liked Minerva. I am hardly a minor planet. In 2006 they tried to make a verb out of me To "pluto" is to "demote or devalue someone or something.” **** You! So passive aggressive and insulting. I am not carrying that around with me My orbit is 248 years. At a 17 degree angle thank you very much To pay my respects to that egomaniac Sun. Why would I care what you think? Perhaps I am envied because I am so far away. I don’t think that I am far away at all. It’s relative, no? Yes, I am removed from that Versailles situation over there and all that ******** That horrible planet You know the one that I mean. The one that’s crawling with “things” They’re not even you. Disgusting. I am awash with molten ices and I even sport a plasma tail. I spin in nitrogen gases On my own path Alone With my FIVE moons! Just us! They claim that there are other Dwarf Planets here and there And even go so far as to suggest That I am the puniest amongst them But with my five and five more still That’s 10 to 8 And you already know what I can do.

*Ever since you left me alone by phone Saying goodbye I haven't been the same, In your endless dark eyes That would glow with so much light You left me without a lit candle Lost in the darkest plight. Yours were the softest small hands, And your short brown hair so bouncy With a playful touch to all the strands, And such beautiful boyish eyes, I could see a lot of tenderness in them. But you left me in the dark, here, To play a dismal part, desperate for love, Whether you were far or near, You were like sunshine I longed for, But I never received your warmth. This is now my darkest hour, Watch as I am taken down by this storm, You stand there from a distance, it's not Unlike watching someone get banished Without a trace, longing for one chance To for once even look at your smooth ***** face. But your visage so sweet Was but an idea, more like a dream, So when or if I wake up...* I will still never again be free.

Untitled Goodbye-Your Eyes

*Ever since you left me alone by phone Saying goodbye I haven't been the same, In your endless dark eyes That would glow with so much light You left me without a lit candle Lost in the darkest plight. Yours were the softest small hands, And your short brown hair so bouncy With a playful touch to all the strands, And such beautiful boyish eyes, I could see a lot of tenderness in them. But you left me in the dark, here, To play a dismal part, desperate for love, Whether you were far or near, You were like sunshine I longed for, But I never received your warmth. This is now my darkest hour, Watch as I am taken down by this storm, You stand there from a distance, it's not Unlike watching someone get banished Without a trace, longing for one chance To for once even look at your smooth ***** face. But your visage so sweet Was but an idea, more like a dream, So when or if I wake up...* I will still never again be free.
