May your life blossom
Many beautiful petals
Desire to be one

Glory

Firecrackers rise
into summer’s cloudy skies.
Where is freedom’s ring?

With really bad attitudes
Taking center stage

Dark Night

Twenty-four dark years
rain down on Batman’s cave and
bullets cloud summer.


Pandemonium!
Life’s delicate balance lost.
Summer tears stream down.


I am not surprised,
says son's mother, reported.
Summer reign shocks world.

Morning light

In the morning light
we would feel alright
hold each other tight
'till the evening light.

We would dance all night
laughing breathless
in each others eyes
'till the morning light.

When I sleep at night
you are on my mind
smiling breathless
'till morning light.

We would dance all night
hold each other tight
laughing breathless
'till the morning light.

When I close my eyes
in the evening light
you are on my mind
dancing through the night.

In the morning light
with open eyes
I wonder
will you dance
with me tonight?

Rain

Gathers, born in clouds,
Mingles, life is short, it flies,
Dies, on window pane.

About this poem:
This is a Haiku, one of mine, the only poetry that could motivate me in my school days .... Now, of course that i am a tad older and maybe wiser, i wonder was it anything to do with its length and the amount of syllables in relation to my attention span !! LOL !!

Jagged hills i climb
Sparing me from the grasped world
Peaking thru the clouds

Soul pain

Eagle spirits fall to the ground
Dream wings cannot fly
Dark talons pierce the soul
The heart languishes in hells nest
A shrill cry of despair echo's
through life's canyon..
'Oh, how the mighty have fallen..!'

aviation lovin

soaring through my emotions
no body sees me, to them i am a blimp
standing tall in the sky,
providing advertisement for local industries

but i, like my forefathers before me,
dream of bigger things,
the concord raging inside of me
struggling against my blimp exterior

my engines roar
my loins burn,
i fire through the mythical dungeon,
the glistening glass ceiling finally broken
a star is born.

soaring through the heavens
she floats like a butterfly
but stings... me

she opens her wings
i refuel my concord
sweet release
we are as one
