I loved you … like water - dove, swam, immersed drowned like breath out, in, saturated gasping unseen but essential impalpable, yet vital my sea - deep, boundless, capricious blue … terrifying my sky - vast, moody, dazzling blue … and dark you … were my element - oxygen for my fire breeze to kiss my cheek a stream to cool … and christen the expanse to cast my sails upon you … were my aliment - manna from...

Holy prayers Shine light from above Sacred grace Falling soft on the heart As angels fly Wings breathing satisfaction Heavenly promises Sing silent and warm Throbbing revelations Coloring the spirit In a vision of sweet joy As angels smile Wings beckoning, fearless Beautiful feelings Bound in faith Pour over the spirit Who knows the way To glory, love Is found in the One Who angels Call upon with dreams Wings vibrating, peace Like a stardust wonder Faith silences...

As a grey dove, nestlings are taught The Basic Rudiments of Wings: if one falls, it cannot be caught First, learn to fly, then how to sing. A perfect lesson elders bring. A human babe, on other hand, is often caught before he stands. ...

For holding things, two arms have we - two arms with hands with which we have been blessed. Two only – we’ve no need of three. Two arms to reach with or to cross beneath our chest, and in two arms of someone special we can be caressed. Although with our two arms we can reach out, some things we cannot...

THE RUDIMENTS OF WINGS Barely stubs, these soul nodules, not yet protruding the surface, still part of the wormlike me. The force of metamorphosis thrusts hard against filmy chrysalis; meconium pulses, dilating miniscule veins. The terror of change soon will cease, bring release, to the rudiments of wings. February 24, 2022...

Nurtured by love and parents’ guidance, Grown under the canopy of God’s wisdom; Midst material deprivation and indigence, He spread his wings far for an ambition. Hugging each day’s sunshine, rains and storms, With all fervor prayers flapping fast to heaven; By his unwavering sacrifices and determinations, Finally got his star… settled down all at haven. Feb. 24,2022 2:50pm This or...

From predawn birth, you dwell alone, Preferring deep shadowland over light. So much easier to conceal what is shown, Nascent ember forelimbs that daunt your sight. With growth in undying murk, and wings in flames In brilliant reds, yellows, golds all blazing. Flying is hopeless with birds of other names. Passions rage from wings, arresting, so amazing. Oh firebird, searing, sizzling, soaring,...

“As I watched the seagulls, I thought, That’s the road to take; find the absolute rhythm and follow it with absolute trust.” ~ Nikos Kazantzakis RUDIMENTS OF WINGS O child, your seablown hollyhocks— recall of Kilmer’s tree. So rapidly your heart ‘tis wild, carefree. Sweet child, your cherry cheeks are mountain peaks in Field’s gingham and calico The Feud. You soar on...

An empty auditorium, echoing with the voices of those long past Life’s stage, we the characters, parsing the script in a caricature of truth Phantoms of a thousand different productions, acts, scenes leave the frissons of their presence We strive, strain, stretch for the higher, brighter, better, betraying verity for vanity Etchings in dust, the drive to impact the...

The Rudiments of Wings
Upon your wings, You soar high up, As far as the wings can carry, No obstruction to meander, No obstacle to scale over, The expanse of the sky is all that there is, Until your feet find, A home with the eagles, An abode with the mighty. February 21, 2022 The Rudiments of Wings (This or That Vol. 10 Poetry Contest) Edward Ibe...

Can you feel your wings? Can you see them, do you even Bother to wonder about what They are for? There, growing from your back, Growing since then when You looked up at the skies And realised that humans Are mere particles of dust In a yet to be explained universe! Why, If Love is in the Air, Then, wings are meant to be used To fly high,...
