Alvin Mingle Poems

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
...

My confidant, my keeper, my friend

How cruel can death be?
...

THE 2 MUSES

They held my hands when I was weak,
...

Look into the Light
The stars are so bright
The layers of life peel away
Has this burden come to stay?
...

I go to bed

I sleep, I cry
...

Dancing around the Totem Pole

They turn here; they turn there
...

Lord, grant me eyes to see

The hands that guide my feet by night
...

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
...
