"airlines" poems
I don't know you anymore,
ever since that staycation
with your Beloved.
You were the only one who held
my heart and brain
in your pearly, white palm.
Now it's stained brown
from the endless supply of caffeine
and mugs.
What about
the scars on my back
(from my travels to many places)
that you and only you saw?
I can't help but wonder over the picture you have
of me
if they now rest in a new rucksack.
My soul,
is now in your little backpack
where everyone else lie in.
Tell me,
where did you travel to and what happened?
Did the airlines lose your culture
and replace it with a complimentary
substitute?
You've lost the identity for which
I came to know you of.
May this just be a
stopover.

She is the house that built me
when my heart had nowhere to grow
and hers are the hands that held me
when i was scared to be alone
she catches me every time i fall
like it was her assignment at birth
and she makes me feel like in this world
i finally have some worth
she has taught me lessons
i could have never learned
in a classroom
sitting behind a desk
she is the reason my heart is still beating
in this tiny chest
and even if i only see her
when she's home for holidays
or if i pay the airlines
to take me across the states
my favorite part of this world
is only a text or call away
it is so hard to put her into words
because she is so much more
than i could ever describe
and i want her to know,
and you to know
that she is the sunlight in my skies
she holds me together
i am the storm
and she is the better weather
and whether or not
i have promised it before,
i am hers forever.

An Airline we want you to boost
We travel coast to coast
We are not an Airlines being most
It’s friendship in the skies
Our Flight Attendants are the ones who advise
We extend our serious welcome even at the flight’s end
Friendship Airlines is about bringing passengers together
We are not like our other airlines competitors being the other
From the minute you sit in your seat
Your seat also elevates your feet
It’s that take off from the runway
Knowing that you are on vacation and you need our getaway
Our packages will add to your stay
Then it is within flight hours of your arrival
We care about the passengers we serve
It’s quality service that all our passengers deserve
Fly Friendship Airlines with the logo handshake way
It will be pure satisfaction in what you will say
Friendship Airlines being your friendly tip
There will be times when the plane might dip
Just remember our Pilots will be in control
Our friendly skies with a look of behold.

yellow banana from the east
making discordian inroads
to vehemence this fall
won't let it turn black
or we can't go back
not an innuendo
put it in a spiral
make it viral
bring a melon
and hard drive
sell the lemon
for half price
buy no frills
airlines tickets
ride with the fruit
to unknown places
disseminate those faces
that munch on the yellow
that icky sticky mellow fellow
well the law of fives dictates its size
must have a five plus maybe a two or three
where did we go with thee can we please go free

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Afterlife Airlines.
I’m your pilot, Captain Meta Physics.
Please fasten your sleep belts
as we are about to leave the body.
Please direct your attention to your stewardess
while she demonstrates safety procedures.
In the event of a drastic reduction in karma,
a mask will fall down from above you.
Place it on and breathe deeply of pure love.
Should those passengers who are clinically dead
find themselves returned by a surgeon’s skill,
the life raft under your seat will inflate
with a new sense of purpose.
After take off the stewardesses will serve milk and honey.
For your entertainment, the movie is
anything with Shirley Maclaine in it
or there are seven channels of chi
on the chakra-phones being dispensed soon.
For those contemplating joining the Tantric Mile High club,
please be considerate of your fellow passengers.
We’re making good time because
the breath of God is always behind us.
Below us to the right is the Ocean of Ego
and to our left some passengers may glimpse
the chain of islands: Faith, Hope and Charity.
We’ve been advised that it’s a little busy on The Other Side
so we’ve been placed in a holding pattern
on the astral plane.
Passengers are reminded to retrieve all emotional baggage
for security reasons
and please help Customs
by declaring all religious preferences.
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re cleared for landing now.
On behalf of the crew, I hope you enjoyed
your transdimensional flight with Afterlife Airlines
and we hope to see you aboard again soon.
Please fasten your sleep belts,
we’re coming in for reincarnation.

"The global bull market has continued its seemingly relentless advance, unchanged by geopolitical concerns…….."
• The Israeli-Hamas conflict now blazing in Gaza, Palestine, two military forces locked in a deadly struggle to the end, killing and maiming thousands of ordinary citizens.
• Malaysia Airlines flight 17 blasted out of a clear blue Ukraine sky by the Bus surface to air missile
unleashed by the Pro-Russian Separatists killing 298 unsuspecting, innocent, international travellers.
Culpability denied by all.
• Anwar Al Awlaki, the American born Cleric, directing clandestine terror attacks and assassination by Al Qaeda beyond the Middle east into Asia and Europe.
• Deposed President, Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, responsible for terrorist activities including multiple car bombings throughout Egypt.
• President Bashar Assad of the Alawite minority, an offshoot of Syria’s Shiite religion, waging religious genocide against his own nations people
and now in open conflict with the Muslim uprising Sunni forces of the new Isis Caliphate.
• The beheadings, slaughter and terror unleashed by the Sunni, Isis Caliphate uprising rampaging through Iraq.
• Russia’s sudden invasion and forceful annexation of the Crimea.
• Russia’s brutal pressure on the sovereignty of the Ukraine through its clandestine weaponry supply and sponsorship of the Pro-Russian Separatist Forces occupying the nations East.
The Middle East is now…an Apocalypse.
This epoch of cruel waste
Where man kills man
For God and gold,
For power’s lust.
Where the Sword of Calamity
Wields destruction and death
On those who can least afford it
By they who should never impose it.
**In the face of all this …..an unbelievable prioritization with this headline quote from today’s NZ Herald….
“There are financial risks to be endlessly jumping at shadows…to overreact to market noise!"**
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

If we were forced to choose one from three addictions
Drugs, Alcohol or Love
Love would be the choice
Call me sappy all you want
But it's the most positive
No doubt about any of it
The other two are hindrances
While the third one helps my heart beat
You can accelerate my engine
All day and all night
I can forget about the rest for a short time
When you take me off into the clouds
I'm about to start a new Airlines
It might fail but i might as well try

Aqua, bright fresh water
we oft get in the Malaysian Airlines
but not in the MH 370
where art Thou?
where are you all now?
when people and media around the world
bow in your case somehow
still hope you are all alive
i knew that you made that one big dive
right to the bottom of the ocean
all those inspectors are still saying
we can hear your phones are still ringing
my heart, my body and soul
knew: you all are not whole
anymore, but you were just freezing in the cool
do not make me a fool
that big birdie right to the bottom
with that rapid speed
as if to a large concrete
MH 370 you are now in freezing coolest water
know, that we all still bother
between air-intro space
or salted water filled ground
with the deepest bound
no matter what, we still care about you all
what only matters how long have you been suffering
in that suffocating small space between those walls
we all heard you sing
whatever Thy Response, i do understand Thee
no matter what, it's Thy divine decision
oh Lord, that suffocating air on the bottom of the Indian Ocean
how they were suffocated altogether suffered
and that only 2500 km away from Perth
but i trust Thee Lord, Thou hath Thy own reason
whatever may be Thy divine decision and Thy precision
may all passengers be altogether in greatest peace and ease
may they all really be released and now Rest In Peace....

ADDED Notes:
Since 11th March this MH 370 has disappeared from the radar navigation~~since then I had watched each hour of every day TV journals~~~till today they have found the wreck~~~the chinese in Beijing announced the news today~~
CORRECTED on Monday AD. 24th March 2014 21.12 hrs. pm~~ Malaysia too has announced this news, that they have found the wreck TODAY 24th March at 2500 km away from PERTH, West-Australia at the bottom of the Indian Ocean~~~~~~~~

Ms. Cho is so, so sorry
for the unintended worry
and the dreadful social uproar
she created
when she rated
her airline’s services as poor.
But any self-respecting South Korean
would understand the shame
when the macadamias came
not in a china dish
for this salty snack delish
was placed calmly on her tray
the cabin crew would say
resplendent in their jackets
“The nuts are served in packets
vacuum-sealed to keep them fresh.”
Hyun-ah proud and haughty
wagged her fingers, called them naughty
and summoned forth the Chief of all the crew
demanding that he tell her if he knew
if the in-flight rules were being followed
or was it in anarchy they wallowed.
He stumbled and he stuttered
swallowed, then muttered
he’d never thought this matter
was the least bit earth shattering.
“Nuts in a bag, are you insane?
You must be taken off this plane”
True to her word the flight turned round.
Until they landed not a sound
was heard within the cabin of that plane.
He was dropped back at JFK
and after some delay
they made their way again heading east.
But arriving eleven minutes late
Ms Cho had definitely sealed her fate
Notwithstanding Daddy’s power
as the airlines CEO
relations turned quite sour
his daughter forced to go
She lost each and every perk
that accompanied her work
her executive pay
all lost – such is the way.
So, finally in sum
Beware of a Cho tantrum
when you see that charming face
remember she’s a nut case
who in shrill and angry voice
made a devastating choice.
Never change an airline schedule
Never let your plane be late
Never waste expensive jet fuel
Or suffer Ms. Cho’s fate

Archery pro and just hit the target of poverty,
And probably,
I'll be out of here before the cops notice I'm vandalizing,
Painting a picture for the up risers,
Better take a seat,
Almost like first class,
Most airlines don't have phobias for flyers,
Keep an open mind,
Your negativities closed,
Your eyes open,
Letting suspense unfold,
And unravel,
And somehow collapse,
I may have had bad experiences,
But human beings are futile at that,
But now let's rewind it back,
I remember you said you'd never be like them,
Would not talk their language,
Or do drugs with them,
Keep following them and you'll end up dead or walking with a limp.

The emptiness of disbelief
The hollow of a bell
The lack of any reason
Raising buckets from a dried up well
Looking for life inside
The largest of museums
Firebomb a defenseless city
You can call it Dresden
Step aside , don't block the way
Cause the air tastes of cyanide
Explode a nuetron bomb
And no one will survive
Hollow rings the empty bell
Surface to air missles come together
It tolls for the souls be sent to Hell
Flutters down the Angel's feathers

One hundred and fifty travelers each day
Arrive from West African climes.
While its clearly insane to let them board planes
They can travel on scheduled airlines.
If they’re asymptomatic, they enter our ports.
Is the government out of its mind?
With dishwashers and Laundries our first line of defense
Ebola will spread over time.
Airline and hotel stocks are selling off big
Pharmaceuticals ought to do fine.
A nurse who watched Duncan as he sickened and died
Flies to Cleveland and back to big D
Her temperature was merely ninety nine point five.
“.Oh, you’re fine.” said the C-D-C.

Emails from airlines tease me, then torture me.
"Make your daydreams a reality"
"Flights on sale!"
Don't taunt me.
I look away from email to the wall;
Smiles greet me. Memories follow.
I remember that smile. It was a smile from when I was with you.
My smiles don't look like that now.
I pull out your shirt - it doesn't smell like you anymore.
I hold it close for a moment anyway.
I curl up sitting on the floor, incapacitated, halted.
Pulled beneath the waves.
It passes. It always does. It has to.
Here I have a life that I have built that you have never been able to touch,
It goes on without you here.
And there's nothing I can do about that.
So I'll continue on, living off dreams and memories.
And the emails will still come.

mousy girl, sitting in the corner, of an american airlines’ lounge
staring out a window, watching it snow
waiting for a flight from frankfurt to dallas
so cute, so demure, how is a boy to resist you
long shiny hair, over sized sweats, black leggings, white keds
sitting crossed, over one leg, slightly bouncing nervously
occasionally catching my eye, then glancing away
are you flirting or just curious, i wish i knew
how do i approach you, what do i say
am i of interest or am i passe
do you know, you’re playing the part, of a little
do you need a daddy, someone to hold, protect you
make you feel special, loved, and cared for
cuddled, kept warm
kissed and touched, everywhere

We’re more than name
Customer satisfaction being our aim
We are the giving airline beyond flight
Buckle up and seat up and just sit tight
Be prepared to see our Christmas narration in the air
Please keep the aisle clear and careful in beware
As we fly in the air
Notice the Bethlehem star over there
Remember how the Wise men pressed their way in the desert sand and how they preservered
Winds that blow

As Share Airlines we keep you in the know
Now sit back and continue to enjoy the show
Christmas lights flash in assortment all through the flight
As clear as night Santa appears being a sight
The passengers are surprised
It was in their gazing eyes
One thinks with wisdom while being educated in wise
Share Airlines in giving to the world
You as the reader have now heard
Share Airlines in giving that doesn’t seem to have an end

As Share Airlines says bye for now
We are the airline that knows the skies and understanding of wow.

Senior woman that continue to fly
They are still Flight Attendants and that is no lie
The Golden Girls woman have been flying since they were young
Yet they are still among
Their knowledge goes beyond any American, Delta and United procedure
The Golden Girls have senior vitality
But their wisdom and understanding became their theory of reality
So up and away
We are flying on this day
No Geritol on this flight
You shall sleep throughout the night
Welcome aboard, and we’re the senior’s who fly the friendly skies
We are your Golden Girls who are wise
We travel anywhere there is a flight
We will help you relax and don’t feel fright
There might be some turbulence, but don’t be uptight
We are the Golden Girls who are professionals and we are polite
We don’t tolerate any foolishness and that includes a fight
So buckle up
You are aboard any Flight number given
Listen to our stories that were never ever told
Be amazed with a behold
One time in our flying career, we encountered severe turbulence while a Tornado was in our flying space
The plane suddenly took a nosedive, and we thought we wouldn’t survive
We just knew we were heading for the Earth ground
However, the plane went back up safe and sound
We arrived at our destination bound
So you see, we are not called Golden Girls Flight Attendants for nothing
What we have achieved in years in flight is something more than a trail
Plight.

My worth is not found
In thirty tablets of Tylenol Extra Strength
Chased by several shots of Everclear
Or inside someone else's body.
I used to immerse myself in this lifestyle
Until I realized I was going to waste
The feeling in my bones went missing
My desire to find that passion sank like an anchor
No search party, no Amber Alert
I was on my own
Missing an integral part of me.
I like bridges now
And I never used to.
I like flying now
I used to hate it.
But now, I look down
I don't want to plummet into the blanket of water beneath me
I don't want to hit the ground without living first.
My mind still takes me to the ruins of my past sometimes
It still holds me hostage with a gun laden with dark thoughts
But I will stay alive.
I have every reason to be dead
I have one reason to be here:
I deserve it.
Now, I drive over the George Washington Bridge
Keep my hands steady on the wheel
Sing my heart out to my favorite X Ambassadors song
Now, I sit strapped in on Delta airlines
The pilot talks about ascending
And I allow myself to rise.
He says,
"We are at fifty-thousand feet"
I smile
My spirit is now immersed in my own body
I let my tears wash over me like a monsoon
Because I am alive, darling
I do not want to jump, or fall this time
I deserve to stay soaring.

Day 1
We'll maneuver down your ecosystem driveway onto
Latcha; not on red-spray painted bikes, but in maroon Civic.
Lunches packed, cooler stacked, en route for 8 hours [we reckon].
I presume five hours away and three hours to Waterloo my dad will wonder about our E.T.A, and I will say, "we are about three hours away."
We'll have fought over D.J. and agreed on the Stones,
but you'll know the words more than I.
But we'll save money and lodge ourselves at a
friend's house with the same last name as a vacuum.
Day 2
9 hours to Rapid city, South D
hopefully to see the faces of old men carved into a big old rock.
I'll look out the window and quote lines from "America" by Simon
and Garfunkel and be the best ********* co-pilot that ever was.
Day 3
Country Motor Inn, drive on, to the Country Motor Inn!
Hey,
now's a good time to take that Adderall.
Day 4-8
To the coast,
to hike around the area,
to rent bikes,
to drink hip-hoppity PNW brews with yous
and you're new, cool roomies.
Day 9
South,
Southwest
Airlines.
Clenching the arm chairs,
would rather take a 74-hour train ride
than be up in the air.

I am a burden.
I am a burden’s burden.
I am baggage
airlines can’t even lose.
I am destruction.
every person who has ever said they love me-
regrets it.
I am a fire
and I
burn
them
all
up
I am child-
no longer
I am damage
that cannot be undone
I am apologies
but I am not
acceptance

What’s
The
Deal
With the airlines
Mid-air Snacks ?
It always
Reminds
Me
Of the girl
Next door
Where
Firstly
In early morning
Where all the young
Hearts around the
Neighborhood knows
The
Exactly time
She would be
Coming out
For her morning jogs
Like a hawk
In the sky awaits
Its pray
Like the bumblebees
Waiting for spring
Like the black bears
Hibernating
Dreaming
Of
her sweet seducing lips
I bet
Taste just like honey
Like that wet dream
I once had
Dreaming of exploring
Her seductive body
In my inappropriate
Thoughts
I can almost taste
The
Paradise
Desperately in need
Of
Conquering her heart
And rumple her sheets
I
can almost guarantee
To be a lot more
Delicious than her
Favorite candies
Lol
Butterflies in the
Stomach
Couldn’t dream
Of any
Other girls
To help Bring
The animal out of me
Anyway
I was always there
To capture the moment
Yoga pants
Embrace her body
So perfectly delicious
Where all curves
Screaming out loud
For attention
Without
A doubt
She never disappoints
Except
few hours later
Just to be picked up
By that fine looking
College boy
Driving
His
drop top Benz
At
that moment
Painfully, we all knew
There wasn’t
One threaded chance
Of Us
Feeding the beast
What
a freaking tease
A bag of chips
and a soda
Always
Reminds me
of the girl next door
Just
Enough to get
me exited
But Never
Enough
To completely satisfy
My hunger.

the night sky and I watched in
silence as he lay there
hemmoraging to death on the
side of the highway
staring up into
that celestial witness
there was only one tiny
blip of light
too close to the city to
see any others
but he stared at that small
little light and saw salvation
in it's beady, off-white eye
'oh god oh god' he wailed
'save me if you ever saved
any of us'
and I stood there
careful to not ruin
my shoes in
the blood
and the police
arrived and the
emergency services
arrived and
all these other
lights crowded
and competed for
the vision of
this man
pumping hemoglobin
onto the concrete
but he stared into the eye
of god and he felt
destined for salvation
he felt peace amongst
the cold pavement and
white double lines that
held his scattered corpse
he died knowing where
he was going
and as his innards
got cold on the median
of southbound I-76
the American Airlines nonstop
from Atlanta got ready
for it's final descent

The weather is perfect for flying today;
seventy degrees, hardly a cloud in the sky.
I stowed my carry-on in the overhead bin.
I am glad our 747 is only half full,
perhaps I will be able to sleep on the plane.
I am due in Rome tomorrow .
There is a growing problem in our parishes and schools.
Men of the cloth engaged in unspeakable acts.
The Curia must be alerted.
The diocese has turned a blind eye to these problem priests
Moving them from parish to parish
Ignoring the harm they perpetrate against the innocents.
I will not be silent.
I watch a young family take their seats in the row across from mine.
I hope the baby is not going to cry all the way across the Ocean.
The smiling Blonde stewardess begins our preflight safety check:
“Welcome to Trans World Airlines Flight 800 to Rome via Paris”

American Airlines flight 101 to London, England from JFK
Into the air all the passengers would say
It’s airborne all the way
The clouds seemed like we in a surrounded square
But over the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of nowhere
The captain was aiming for 30,000 feet
As the plane was climbing, a bird accidently went into one of the jet’s engines
This now has caused the plane to be in a condition
JFK tower was immediately contacted
American Airlines Captain responded, “A bird has shut down one of our engines, and we request to divest back as an emergency to JFK
The Tower responded, “Turn right and head for Runway 11
As the plane begin turn, the plane began to feel some tumblence
The plane just rocked
The wheels were already down
The view of the runway being the destiny back being JFK bound
Later the wheels touched down on the ground
The plane landed safe and sound.

Trusted a jump into the teleporter
Took me to a new life where I only dissipate it
Wondering on this adventure,
so time consuming
Where did I lose it?
Everything is no longer the same
Hopped on commercial airlines to move on and missed it
Still here by tradition
No regrets with my decision to be by this location
So dark and dense;
quite fitting
Like I'll stay with enjoyment,
but when I perceive the future,
I can't hold it
They sold it to me
in my hands and I dropped it
Mistakes by the ocean
Muddy waters hit the surface
Got out my board,
now surfing;
Wave riding
Felt something hard hit me while crashing
A bottle & note inscribed
"Wave after wave day after day,
through mistakes made,
you are the person you are today"
Don't waste tomorrow
