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,
...

5.

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
...

11.

Look to the East

Amidst the Haze
...

Some call her Operkoh Broni
We know her as the Major
The lone female Warrior
Amongst seven pillars of rock
...

13.

I stand at the top and shout

But no one hears my cry
...

Separate us from the cords that bind us together

Release us from the pains that we share
...

Do not cry for me

when the end draws nigh
...

It begins at dawn,

The palpable excitement as we ascend,
...

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,
...

Alvin Mingle Biography

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.)

The Best Poem Of Alvin Mingle

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
