Orlando Belo Poems

You gave me the spotlight before it shone,
and gave me the confidence to carry on.
You kept giving me that important push
when I was down and out of touch.
...

The sun casts morning shadows
over the frost-covered ground.
Blackbirds search for breakfast,
but there's nothing to be found
...

I found myself standing in a cornfield
on this warm summer's day.
An afternoon wind blew into my face
and literally carried me away.
...

In the early hours of this morning,
as I lay sleeping in my bed.
I experienced a most peculiar sensation
coming from the inside of my head.
...

No matter how much I try
I just can't stop loving you.
You said we were finished as a couple,
but what am I supposed to do?
...

You're always placing me on a pedestal
and I really don't stand that tall.
You look upon me as someone special,
and that's definitely not me at all.
...

I'm distraught without you
and so full of distress.
My heart's up in my mouth
and not in my chest.
...

Upside down, yes upside down,
this world is a funny place,
but would I see it differently
if I wore another face.
...

You are truly a curvaceous beauty,
an unbelievable sight-for-sore-eyes.
I've never ever seen one quite like you,
you are so alluring, you hypnotise.
...

There is nothing left to do or say,
I've done my best in every way.
I've tried to live as a decent man,
and be as honourable, as I can.
...
