Long Manoeuvres Poems

Cats and Christmas trees

A cat is instinctive
Climbs tall towering trees expertly
The garden is his haven
His and only his territory

Smart and astute he can survive on his own
Catching rats, mice and birds, presents just for me
Proud,...

after multiple bedtime stories, I plea that she will not make a peep.

the blissful sight is as precious and delicate as a...

I was born into a war 
I was born into a war

And I couldn’t even talk 
I didn’t know how to walk
I hit the ground surviving 
Heavy fire,...

DESTINY CALLS

Rising higher and higher the warplane climbs 
through the hazy sky, sun reflecting off the distant water 
far below through a gap in the clouds. 
Missiles hang under delta wings 
ready for instant launch...

(Dedication: For my darling Ann)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Plain looks simple
Subtle feels nice;
Ecstasy knows

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of wonder
Curiosity sums;
Beauty illuminates

~~~~~~~~~


Day unfurls
Simple grandeur;
Familiar feel

~~~~~~~~~


Eyes dazzle
Kindness floods;
All is well

~~~~~~~~~


Travels greet
Here at home;
Thousand journeys

~~~~~~~~~


In haste and heat
Haze or clear skies;
Joy knows wonder

Day zooms into...

Your memories, a perpetual stream of visitors. 
Memories bursting with daring adventures.
Conquering the Kilimanjaro with an intimate artistic alliance.
Madness in the sky, a utter nutty experience of you flying a plane over the shore of...

A bird that eats the wheat discouraging the farmer,
The worm swallowed by a lizard,
A butterfly soaring on a thyme bush,
Perused a pregnant woman under torrential rain;
Invulnerable,
Manipulated,
Empty thoughts that manoeuvres the corrupt mind;
A snail struggling to...

I miss - The tantalizingly teasing flicker of my thick tongue;
As over your gorgeously lovely contours, I travel around.
I miss - Savouring the thrilling chill of your breath-taking temperature;
As I, in detail, passionately traverse your...

I got myself into quite a pickle
when sitting my driving test,
My nerves were making me jumpy
but my instructor said just try your best

The examiner looked like Godzilla -
he didn’t try to put me at ease,

Newly cut grass
Fresh fragrance;
A scented dawn

~~~~~~~~~


Plumeria sunrise
Yellow and red;
Abundance flowers

~~~~~~~~~


Daylight springs
Sharp streams blazing;
No more darkness

~~~~~~~~~


Strange winding path
Etchings of patient feet;
Lost round the bend

~~~~~~~~~


Daybreak
Blurry eyes dart;
Suddenly aware

~~~~~~~~~


Time and space greet
The morning sunrise;
Promising agenda

~~~~~~~~~


Joy calls my name

This is me, laughable
A slight cackle from a broken throat
Dry as Egypt's ageless dust and catching 
On the flaming cottons of dead haberdashery
I caught a glimpse of moon

Eyes capsized under distilleries
A forehead clouded in snow...

Awakening the country from stupor, 
we stop all military manoeuvres,
erasing racial hatred from our home,
that all human beings, fearlessly roam,
greening the earth, leading by example,
love of humanity, be our mantle,
focus on education and healthcare,
home for...

The firing of charged cylinders
With the power of silence
On all four she sweeps
In her majesty;
The cruising royalty of glistening comfort.
 
Litters on the roads
Honking at each other’s throat,
The dust the sweat;
Slime of heat
Frayed tempers.

The sweeping...

Now  bravely  the beloved general
Leaves  the world of parade and medal.
Manoeuvres over,  he does not stay
In   night’s  Volkovskoye   -   ...

“What are we when we are not...?”

MAN:     A malevolent master making mountains of a mindless mass...

Like sunshine on a cold Spring morning
deceiving our judgment and senses,
the rat manoeuvres through honest lives,
a Machiavellian villain before our eyes.

Sharp pain in our back can not be felt,
slowly we bleed unknowingly from
malicious acts assumed...

After all, life is but a twisted tale,
Of trying blue; to weigh us, if model.
To find happy rest in all we travail...

Winnings, everyone continually tail,
Unleash cheats and deceits of sh*ts coddle...
After all, life is but...

In lacy black
She invitingly lures
The love of her man
Strong and pure
 
On our bed she lies
As i see through the black
Her curvaceous body
Shows no lack
 
Enticing in pout
Her lips glossed
She draws me in
I'm about to...

Wandering amidst the cosmic pieces,
the tiny star moves ahead.
shadowing along nature's quest, 
and surpassing nature's tiniest thread. 
With the sharpest vibration, 
it manoeuvres above the galactic abyss. 
Entrapped, in the gravity of celestial charade. 
Distorting...

Masters of flight,
Marvel of sights
Flying in from all over Europe,
Asia, Africa and America

Hovering and performing sharp manoeuvres
With successful acrobatic flights
And their wings constantly changing shape
The flap of their wings,
The envy of aviators

Believe it! The airplane...
