The Air Warrior

Mighty skies, my mightier high!
The thud of my spirit mingles with the bolt of thunder as I fly .
Brace my arms, not my soul, it knows just to soar 
'Whether' is just a haze with insane weather.
Not one am I to bow my head to it in surrender.
I look up at the stars as some shine in proud effulgence on my blue armour,
Moulds of sweat born of feverish fervour.
Amused as you see the metal bird from below, mused am I with her wings 
Holding your hopes and mine, 
Swaying along in smiles I sing.
Toiling high to keep your hearts and hearth burn in light 
I walk my way with salutations to my land.
Boy, I am not just a wearer of my cap, 
But an air warrior of strength, as I stand.
My journey is not just of fate and faith.
Of choices and grit, to serve and shield 
For my nation's cries, I clamour.
I fly to yield.

Moon me!

Oh glorious one in silver white!
Bequeathed did you, your luminous gaze to me
Light or me, lame eyes don't see 
Blinded in love breathing all around
And beheld by earthly shadows.
I take a delirious dive 
With no damn for coy,
As fluffy ruffles encompass you in angelic moves
Titillating the gentle blue on which they  meander
Mundane loses its meaning in this divine maze 
A wanderer on vacation, homebound to see 
Yet vistas of capture here and there beckon 
Like this date of your night 
Armouring me in your enticing charm
Seizing words all at once.
Moon me anymore and even lilies would fly
In your smiles and my sigh 
Here I go to rock myself a lullaby....
