"ECLIPSE"

Midnight-
Dialogues in blue
Ascending to
The flying of hieroglyphics
Balancing purpler songs
Tossing flowers into the winds
Giving light
Into the nights
of
Magic

An enigma 22
You
Like some circus performer
with birds
Painting dreams
and
Pointing to infinity
and
Absolute endlessness

I wonder-
I wonder
who
Were the progenitors to
The cosmic confrontations

What were the dialogues
between
you
and
Some descending angel?

The view of life
From the emerald planet
Crab nebula man dissections
Playing in the clouds of
Your bubble dances
Poets won
and
Poets too
In awe of you

The astral thinking
projects
Farewell shots ringing
In my bed

How did you become
the ultimate
Kite flyer
Electric future man?

The sky exploding into dust
and
You
transcending into
Your
own
Eclipse-

I have to say that it goes far beyond where I've been, and even where I think I may be going. Merveilleux!

Comments: WEll, RM- I did write this one for you based upon what I know about you and reading your excellent work- RM- you are a wonder-
and I always wonder where genius comes from-

I am not always so lavish with my praise- but I consider you to be one of my "fathers" of poetry- and a tremedous poet- Fat Cat is of course fabulous,
and Ed and Roger the Quill- and I am blessed to know you guys- You have all had a tremendous impact upon me- DB and Doug too-
Thank God for the net AND that Roger and DB are kind enough to knock themselves out for us- hugs,

cheers, kisses, and thanks to all of you- and you're welcome and you're welcome and I am delighted that this very different piece seems to be such a hit!,br> not my usual stuff- but I do go off on my trips now and then- hehe val

Comments: Boys and girls-
I was writing about writing poetry in case you wondered-
And where the inspiration for writing poetry comes from-
For we do indeed toss flowers into the wind and RM does this so superbly-
So cheers to all of you who balance your purpler songs and here is to your ultimate cosmic confrontation-
Happy writing! Cheers! and Gracias and Thank You!
