[hometext] => Love and eclipses have something in common... [PLEASE COMMENT AND CRITIQUE]
[bodytext] => That first time we met... you, with your smile, took me for a car ride Dirty inside, with an air-freshener, whose sent won't last much longer We laid on the beach, and a cord around my heart you tied A thin red cord, so easily broken; but we're tying it stronger A bright sphere of fire, in the sky, and reflected in my heart That night after we came back, you and I stayed in that old car And we bridged the great divide of lonliness that keeps souls apart We stepped out, illumined by the radiant specks, a beam for each star On a blanket in a field we kissed, the watchful eye of Heaven looking down I have a lost love for every hundred stellar lights, enough to burn the world But enough of that; I'm here with you now, and in my heart, big and round Is a red sun that will forever outlast the myriad stars of lost loves unfurled I didn't realise how late it was; alone with you life passes by, yet timeless I left late that night, at almost one, and fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed I drempt of a big red sun, my mouth forming sounds ineffable and rhymeless The white moon of my heart eclipsed by the red sun of your heart, blood-red And a couple days later I drove up to your place, to be with you once more The two cords we've woven quite strong now, a white and red one together Played a movie, but I was busy being eclipsed by the sun I saw on the shore I left the next day; caring this ruddy sphere in my chest, I'll carry it forever I called you and talked with you awhile-- no wait, it was actually two hours That's a record for us, we usually talk much longer, weaving cords on a loom While we converse, and watching overhead, as wheeling by go stars and powers A lonely night eye rolling-- a ghostly glow you carry in your heart, the white moon Sun and moon, stars and powers, you aligned for me this time And that big red sun, that source of life, I'll keep you in my heart As I give away the white moon, the only posession that's really mine So smile; As long as you hold the moon, and I the sun, we'll never be apart Eclipse the moon, red sun!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
