Is Free-Falling Flying?
Is free-fall flying
Is flying, falling graceful
under brief control
each yearn for such weightlessness
ends the same way - screech splish splat...

I used to spend my nights up looking
For the crystal gates to get in
I used to think that what I needed
Was to be with the angels and fly high, but you
Are the only wings I need
Carrying me through the nights, it’s...

life lessons we learn afterwards
Not grounded in experience
words fly off the pages like birds

Birds Of Paradise
Skinkle, skinkle who is there?
Under the Moon you gleam like gem
Above the tree you dream, not hem
Strinkle, strinkle birds in pair!...

June 27th, 1969
A Friday,
a plane crash,
a phone call,
all it took
for your whole world to shatter.
You never got to tell them
how you’d follow in his footsteps
in his wing span
You never got to tell him
that you only wished to follow
in that Cessna Skylane
one three-pronged tragedy
became the axis
around which the rest of your stories
would turn
one sorrowful night
changed who you...

One Flew Over
I knew an old buffoon
quite the gloomy poltroon
who through a stormy monsoon
flew his hot air balloon
and among the Walloon
and Flemish
much to their surprise
did not meet his demise
but with neither a blot
not a jot
nor blemish
at all
on hand
in the small
6-Government
densely populated
parliamentary constitutional monarchy
3-language country of Belgium
safely did crash land

The Sky is the LimitGreetings friend! Have you heard
of that inquisitive bird?
Could he forever fly
upwards into the sky?
He sure made quite a fuss -
was the sky limitless?
He found otherwise instead
when he bumped his head....

Icarus
'Once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been
and there you will always long to return,'
wrote Mr. da Vinci (1452 – 1519).
In school I did learn
the plane truth,
and for your information,
it's a collection of spare parts
flying in close formation.
And was it not Icarus in his day
who,...

Untitled 4Don’t clip my wings
My paintbrush has traced many lines
My feathers have flown in many formations
A commander of confidence
I am flying
My heart is racing
I know I am alive
Am I living?
These talons need to be removed.
Where are my wings?
What happened to my art?
I remember a paintbrush.
Why am I naked?
Did I doubt it?
Did I clip my wings?

EAGLE WINGS FLIGHTFollowing the winds where they blow
Keen eyes into the distance
From the wilderness to the skies
An Eagle’s symbol and creed
Strength in survival
Flying far and wide
Soaring wings
Depth through ability
Through storms and calm skies
Wise mind
Eagle alert
Struggles at times
Feeding and Breeding
Eagle wonders
Yonder to fly
Horizons beyond the high mountains
Indian Eagle values
Offer many surprises
Species their own
Expansion of wings
Courage to extend
Pause when...

This turnMy eyes swerved to someone
magnified my attention,
mesmerized in hyponsis,
felt like popping of faries bubbles down my mind,
couple of ladders to my comprehension,
I'm sliding smooth but hasty,
like adrenalin,
caught off guard.
Smelting of this cold layers on my motion,
lays softness to my curiosity
Thought future was fate determined,
yet this here shreded my expectations,
I...
