Long Troposphere Poems

FOOTSTEPS ON THE MOON--


If I lived in outer space before death or even now alive…
As my celestial body rises, I fly yet;
Are my footsteps on the wind?
Forever in my path are skies…
Yet I rise and...

I am counting down the days when the clouds will break away and the troposphere in the sky will peel away the substance from the earth and the stratosphere in the atmosphere will cool down...

F  l  y  i  n  g

a sailing tailwind
in cerulean streams
through creamsicle colored beams -
are wings reflective of turquoise truth 
and white purity 
of Autumn’s ether -

he aviates 
a clear troposphere...

MY NEIGHBOR KOFI
LOCATION: Mazamaza, Lagos, Nigeria:
My neighbor kofi, 
The computer scientist
At 34,
He crisscrossed, jetcrosed, redcrossed,
And hobnobbed around the globe:
Kathmandu, Acapulco and the Galapagos 

He dined and wined
Like there was no tomorrow 
He dined and wined...

Up  above the sky  so high 
Lightening with a cracker sound  why
Thunder all around in all crackers factory
Colours of glory over the victory

Like the destroying evil spirit winds gone
Green purple blue orange...

THE ALL POWER IS GREATER!

The Big Bang designed the stratosphere and troposphere.
Below both majestic presence, Earth is the topography.
Today, all God’s creature roams freely.
Human being munificence is magnanimousness.

Now sits a child fulfilled.
She has her ink...

A storm is brewing as the wind hastens,
the darkening troposphere trembles
with the tornado's teeming tempest afar.
Cumulonimbus clouds meet, gathering to 
brood, to share their destructive morose 
mood, just as he did that fearful, fateful night
as...

Sun woke me up
With its merciless rays,
Slicing through the cold troposphere
And dancing to the fiery exquisiteness,
I sat on my revolving chair, 
Capturing my judgements
That recoiled from the walls
Of my cage.
Till noon I mused
Over the unfinished...

Asleep while awake
Walking among the living
Trying hard to break
The monotony and gluttony misgiving

Lends to the sultry atmosphere
Saturated with dope
As departed souls in the troposphere
Perambulate on cumulus clouds grope

For eternity in serenity
Ensconced in minds so busy
They...

In moments of twilight civility
an exchange of gifts - 
darkness for light..

RISING

from beyond the softening silhouette edge
you brighten like a blushing damsel
hazy haloed
unabashed in the pleasure of ripening

daydreamer 
...a vivid blur of lemon drop...
veiled by...

Unfettered and Free

Unfettered and free,
Seeking my ultimate destiny,
Flying through a dark, cobalt blue sky,
Like an extra light kite,
Effortlessly taking flight,
With strong wings, like a sleek bird I soar.
Friendly, gentle winds propelling me to greater heights,
Up,...

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time, 
'cause...

WEATHER THE STORMS SOAR

I
Shadow dances impart across lite path
Souls entrenched in technicolor harvest
Comparable passage denied terrain grasp
Rainbow corral blurb optic delusions trust
Blown wind scars the clouds rains falls down solace
Weather the storms soar the heaven’s...

Moving towards high
In a transit  period of time
Moved up in the troposphere, mesosphere.

Like a pinnacle of earth
In the layers per layers
Like a feel good factor
But one thing you forget

You have a heart
Which is surrounded...

ARC
(to David)




There is a thing people sometimes see
if they look long at the heavens, eventually

an arc of light across the sky
as a comet burns through the troposphere to die

it burns also to memory
its light and...

vivacious roses pose

in air

oxygen free from the stem

arising like balloons

resurrection of rosies

blushing brides at peak

before their spoiling

before their mistreat

their passionate gowns sweet

wormy stems
await greening apples
Eden’s eschew

the ladies wave bye-bye

preferring the troposphere

fear of flying

ain’t there

angels, palms...

LAST WORDS


   surly pain must ink the charred troposphere,

mascara running down poet’s kaleidoscopic cheek.
the breastplate clan have left the spoils weak.
the rustical clang of the rusty second hand’s fear,

felt with such clarity. the...

A nurse with near exhausted patience
Trying to fix back a dislodged needle:
An order from her fought clear conscience,
When she could task stop to just tweedle;
She’d spent all her purposed munificence
And nursed patient stuck to her...

TORPEDOS’ NAPALM

T remors shocked the penguins of the Arctic Circle.
O rbital the water lobbed in the ocean.
R otating in a circumnavigating format
P enguins dangled high in the air.

"The Take Off" 

That feeling
when the plane 
speeds down the runway
and lifts up

you know …
how it feels;

left the jungle 
with the forest 
to work it all out
amongst themselves

somewhere in 
the lower atmosphere
wings spread 
ruffling their...

Whims and fancies fly sky-high
Each man's dreams touch the troposphere.
Some find it within themselves to break
Free from earth's restricting sphere!

But come they must for their final roost,
To earth be still fast-bound.
From dust ye came and...

Swim my ocean
Walk my land
Jump my troposphere
And trapopause me
I’m up here in the stratosphere
Increased is my desire for you
To find me
My temperature has increased
Knowing you are near
Once you reach me my love
We will not mix...

IF I COULD TRICK LORD GRAVITY

  TO LET GO OF MY FEET...

I'D FLY INTO THE TROPOSPHERE,

  WHERE CUMULUS CLOUDS RETREAT...

 

TO FORM THEIR GREAT ILLUISIONS

   TO ENTERTAIN MANKIND...

A GIFT THEY'VE GIVEN...
