The Stars .... They Died For You and I

Einstein Noodle and Myself teamed up for this one ... Love your thoughts guys and Gals ...

within the deepest inhalation 

we may catch the heart of all the stars

swept along in camouflaged breezes - 

a rascal no less creating a stir 

wind is nature's cheeky commotion 

steadily gifting free rides to 

tango-loving gypsy stardust

rising shores a trillion drops deep

quenching the thirst of existence 

pellucid water pulsing pink across ancient coral

bursting stars, dust and billow 

emancipated in ripples wave

i see the all within your face

reds, blues, greens and silver 

colors draining back to the depths

and yet 

gusting flames echo in reflection 

invitation of heated caresses from your eyes 

cinder and ash orbit within your sparkle

fire long since burnt out endures

serving only to bless you, bless me

incarnate star 

offering essence eternal ....

found as in youth

poking sticks under rocks 

prodding tongues of Christmas Beetles

down in the land where 

wild mushrooms grow and

musk in blackest earth 

among apples, acorns, rocks and Hickory trees

the intricate interlace of now 

coalesces elements

beloved stardust entrusted 

us our absolute 

miraculous star

born from a vacuous space

we are the miracle 

within the star 

pacing its ebb and flow and

always in unity

collaboration between E. and KWP

Pretty interesting. I enjoyed the flow a lot

[sinNsincerity]

A lot of great adjectives that paint a vivid picture and indeed we are the miracle within the star!

I can hear the harmony of two voices here. The music is bitter sweet as discord finds resolution in poetic expression.
A very enjoyable read.

There is magic in the stars, they tell us so, even when hidden... and your 'togetherness' is as magical. What a smooth movement, one to the other, not a gasp or blink to separate your thinking. This really is one of the finest collarations i've read in eight years or so in the Cafe.

Somehow you've clambered over all the debris up there and found only the beauty, the near silence of out there, the untouchable that surrounds... and so forth... so many thoughts growing inside me.. tis beautiful.

Two of my favorites poet together...as always loved it!

[xDalliance]

First of all, what a lovely and interesting title this poem has. I love it. Secondly, I love how you've effoertlessly transitioned from space to ocean to land and back again to space. The analogies are beautiful, and I really think the title makes it better. The fourth and the last stanza are my favorite! So good :)

well my goodness...this lights my mind on fire. the originality is truly inspiring. as a collaboration I cannot tell where one begins and the other one ends. sometimes true inspiration is born and something of true beauty is the result and that seems to be the case here. I had to read it again just to let the words dance in my head.

[KWP]

once again - thanks so much - made my morning X
