Nick Tselepides Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 ************************* You might do this Sunday on a whim. The last good flight you had was months ago. You check the usual places, get in, strap and sign for chocks away. You pat your horses release the brakes, and off you go. High among the first clouds, you know you never heard the blonde below who screamed at you Take me with you, I am not a nun. You only heard the call of metal and the smell of oil, the calls of wings abducting you. If shooting enemies with hate in wars before Now you think you'll never shoot again at anything. Early summer, no matter---you fly and fly by eye, by instrument, by tooth and nail, by heartbeat, flesh and bone. The horse that brought you high runs on gold, and gold is mined for you alone. Let down, the airstrip beckons you. Let down and let the sky be blue. Think of the blonde and whisper Love me Love me all the way home. The last good kiss you had was years ago. ******************** Firday, June 4th, 2004 Poem by Nick Tselepides Quote
navychief Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Great poem, Nick. Reminds me, however, that I definitely do NOT have your talent for writing! I have yet to try my hand at short stories, though. But I do know that prose is out of the question. Ha! Thanks for the poem. I like it. Lots of visuals. Pete Quote
firehawkordy Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Nick, I have wrote a couple of poems, but I dont know how well they are. If I sent one via PM could you take a look and give your opinion? They aren't flight related, I wrote them for someone special to me though. Quote
Nick Tselepides Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 Firehawkordy, Go ahead and send it through Pm. Navychief: Glad you liked it--more will be sent to you later. BTW, did you send me the book? Quote
