I sat beneath the clear blue skies
And gazed at the beauty of your works
...
The deep blue sea,
Velvet, Mauve, Cucumber, Cream
Held on the lawns of the Mount Nelson
Tea, Tea, Earl Grey Tea
...
Look into the Light
The stars are so bright
The layers of life peel away
Has this burden come to stay?
...
Deliver me O Lord
My heart cannot rest
Even as "H" crosses these fjords
Help us get thru this test
...
Her beauty knows no bounds
The timbre of her name resounds
Her eyes blaze like fire
Never to retire
...
Some call her Operkoh Broni
We know her as the Major
The lone female Warrior
Amongst seven pillars of rock
...
Separate us from the cords that bind us together
Release us from the pains that we share
...
Strolling along the sandy beach
Warm winds blowing through her hair
I hold her hand and gaze above
and all I see is the halo around her head
...
They pace in majestically
as they approach the field
Helmut's and armor gleaming
Tendons and muscles rippling
...
The rolling of Thunder
The clapping of Lightning
One eye opens and a tear drops
A second eye opens and another tear drops
...
Day to Day the peace is shattered,
As your feet stamp on my grave,
...
My name is Alvin Albert Okoe Mingle, born and raised in Accra, Ghana. I schooled in Achimota Secondary School where I took my GCE O & A Levels before proceeding to the United Kingdom. I undertook my tertiary education at the Loughborough University in Leicestershire and remained in the United Kingdom for most of my adult life. My love for literature and poetry was kindled from infancy from reading with my mother. Teachers such as 'Ringo' have had a particular impact in my life and my love for the arts.)
Mighty Are You Lord
I sat beneath the clear blue skies
And gazed at the beauty of your works
The mountain heights
And the roll of the waves
Bear testimony to your great might
The green meadows
And the blue skies
Sing praises to your name
The rising sun
And the sparkling stars
Also do the same
Oh, how great are your works O' Lord
Oh, how great are your works

ALVIN, NICE TO CORROBORATE YOUR TOUCH ON RINGO'S. HE WAS BY AND LARGE, THE LARGEST INFLUENCE ON MY ENGLISH LANGUAGE LIFE, W.R T DICTION, FIGURES OF SPEECH AND EVEN GRAMMAR, KUDOS! ! !
