Long Aeroplanes Poems

As I was in national park virunga
 and I saw a zebra 
which was giving birth and
one black and white cobra 
passed by there.
 I admired their colours 
and took some pictures 
to show my kids...

I may be small
But the Lord will make me big
He who turns a boy into a man
Magnify me
He who turns a midget into a giant
Magnify me
I may be a fool
But the Lord has made me...

I remember you happiness
through the early aroma
  of grinded coffee beans
wafting gently from
the corner coffee shop
I remember you through
the freshly bread 'scent 
from the baker's sour rising yeast.

I remember you through 
musicians playing in...

The boy watched the plane as it rushed down the strip,
And lifted off into the sky,
He turned to his father with wonder and said,
"Daddy, what makes that aeroplane fly?"

"Well, son, it's like this, there are...

The 80s Green View
The natural landscape was vast and green
I could see it from the front windows of our house
And further still to the distant hills and counties
This area was where I lived and still...

I’ve learnt to judge you at crucial time,
Not to conclusions jumping: a regrettable crime,
Marriage a woman often eyes in her prime,
Your chosen days, a sour lime,
In my room locked, caring not a dime …
Your hovering...

Going into London town.

We must haste

 They are so happy, the parents, grandmother’s uncle and aunts showing on Facebook the addition

Do they not for a minute think what the child´s future will be?

In essence the unconscious mind,
   Reveals all knowledge for mankind.
   To pursue dreams, each vision brings,
   Then soar above the earth on wings.
   We navigate uncharted shores,

Everyday I go birdwatching,
I see them-
Seagulls, Geese, Humming birds-
Flutter and puff out their wings,
To soar the tinted sky-
Dancing along the clouds like small jets,
Or the carefree glide of paper aeroplanes.

I watch as their wings carry...

If men were gods
Then horses will fly
If men were gods
Then no one will die
To mold the
destinies of many
With a wand in my hand
And turn a swarm of bees
To a matching band	
To live a thousand years...

What a lovely chat we had
The five of us together
We talked about this and that
Without mention of the weather

There were Fay and Chris, Elaine and Harold
And of course, there's me
Fay and I were already friends
We'd...

I used to jump from aeroplanes
Naked
With nothing
But a parachute
A prayer
And a pair of Doc Marten boots

I've landed in some strange places
Once in a chair
Once or twice in the mud
A Woman once
I said will you?
She said...

Mortar rounds, 
plummeting to the grounds.
High velocity, undodgeable.
Whether they're hefty,
or miniscule, 
they'll get you.

Washing away the evidence,
that of small life.

Bombarding objects, they rupture,
sending shrapnel in every direction.

They make little noise,
these mortar rounds.
All one can hear,
is...

Billowing ash and smoke circle above
Volcanic eruptions are on the rise
Intense balls of fire I toss from my glove

A body built on nerves and signals.

So many little paper airplanes,

they fly from head to toe.

Expect when they get stuck in my hands and rattle.

Uncontrollable. 

Flex and refocus, 

 they are gentle;

 fragile.

They understand me
