Banished Beauty
Oblivious of the winter chills
Sittin' in her feral folds
Banished beauty with no paid bills

Sinkin' into lonesomeness like a stone
Thrown into the languid lake
Vocals vibrant with no tuneful tone

Banished beauty breaks low
Her uniqueness rendered rueful
Like a fallen galaxy ne'er to glow

Beauty banished by him
Last night when love showered them
His voice torments her like satanic hymn

Banished beauty lies in tearful fallow
Her fruitful garden gang robbed
Her beauty unwanted like unholy hallow
