Orlando Belo Poems

This modern-day pop singer,
sings of a love so strong,
but his own life tells a different story
of a love that went, so wrong.
...

Again we're unprepared for the flying out brigade;
large black female ants seeking kingdoms to be made.
Actively hustled by worker-ants to quickly leave the nest,
they then laboriously, but blindly wander without rest,
...

A sheet of ice separated from the glacier,
breaking up as it hit the sea.
A tired seal needed to rest for a while,
so clambered aboard for sanctuary
...

Under a warm blue summer sky,
we lay on a thick carpet of grass.
Staring up at the white wispy clouds,
as they slowly drifted past.
...

In the very early hours of this morning
a flying saucer landed in the park.
An insomniac out walking his boxer dog
saw something was odd in the dark.
...

Are you sure that you really love me?
Are you sure there is no mistake?
I have opened up my heart before
and suffered from bitter heartbreak.
...

If I told you that my heart was aching
would you think and wonder why?
And if I told you that you are the reason,
would you laugh and think me high?
...

In the early hours of this morning
I was awakened by a raging storm.
It was precisely then that I discovered
that I no longer occupied my form.
...

A unanimous decision from all of us was taken,
so, I was asked to put these words to paper.
Without doubt, we just had to say we ‘Love You'
and it had to be written now rather than later.
...
