Plane Bike

Plane Bike

There was a man who was mad

He screwed wings onto a motorcycle

And went flying up high

The engine turned the prop

That was at the back

 

And the front was a rudder

His rear passenger was thin

For his plane bike was slow

With a 125cc engine

Going from A to B

 

No rush here 1500 feet up

Motorbike made plane

Land take the wings off

Ride where...

Wings

nothing's certain anymore,

I dont know what matters,

confusion paints my head,

my inhibitions lie in tatters

 

I've found that special one

for whom I'd long yearned

to make up for those times

I'd had my fingers burned

 

always terrified of women,

felt they were over-sexed,

averse to the physical side,

passion left me perplexed

 

seemed safer to keep awa...

Bird Strike

Like fish out of water they cluster, gasping for

Herd immunity,

Scrap aluminium

Shadowing hot tarmac.

High on kerosene we were

Flying blind to Armageddon

Until a bird-strike did for the engines

Clipping our wings

 

Wake up and

Reclaim your baggage,

Be humble

Ground your brain, breathe deeply and

Disney Fairy

 

Nancy comes in my dreams 

Like a fairy of Disney Land 

Have two wings and song 

Touch hearts with no band 

  

Nancy comes from the moon 

Where the lovely stars shining 

Calls me to join the song 

And to share her in the dancing 

  

Nancy, I love you so much 

Can you call me only once? 

Don't keep me in dreams 

Just come in real to dance

Sculpted

 

You took my skeleton out of my body and molded my spine to stand straight.

With your skilled hands you took me apart and put me back together, like you had done so many times. 

In one piece, after so many years - you taught me what it was like to stand alon

You sculpted my wings in perfect likeness of yours. 

With each feather, you gave me hope and confidence. 

I was an angel -...

Quoth Both

 

My daughter brought a Jackdaw in the house

And grief introduced itself

 

Melancholic and wounded

It hunched in the corner of the room

She fed him her loving eyes

Bread in tweezers

And named him Poe

 

Then this sanctuary

Took him

She phoned every night

He was mending well and with the magpies...

He was in the biggest aviary...

He was set free.

But w...

Little Wing / Epidermis

Little Wing 1968

by Jimi Hendrix

Well she's walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running round

Butterflies and zebras

And moonbeams and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind.

 

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free

It's alright she says it's alright

Take anything you want from me,
