~ Behind The Eclipse ~
~sanity's edge ~
I'd always,
(always)
Longed to step out
From behind the sun,
To reveal myself
To myself
(in orbit)
Around quixotic ideas
And years of creativity
Left behind me in a trail
(that dime store novel)
Of glistening bread crumbs
That lead me back
To classical notations,
To the poetry of me,
Of me and my life
As I began
To pick up tiny pieces
And to work hard at
Puzzling them back
Together again....
I started to teach myself
To myself,
(and began)
To appreciate what I had done
Even though
I hadn't done it
Purposefully,
I had really become
That which I had been
Frightened of becoming....
An artist,
(with forgotten words)
Strewn across the fabric
Of a very long
Effort,
And now,
Finally,
I saw myself
Emerging,
From behind the sun....
Fist, clenched,
That afterbirth,
Bursting from beneath
The surface of
Sanity's edge,
(the eclipse of my life)
That heavy tattoo
That I had painted
On the heart of me,
I had carried it for so long
The heavy burden,
That I would happily
Bare again
Into the realm of the sun,
And the moon's
Magical kiss,
Which sadly, I missed
While hiding
(happily)
Behind the eclipse...

I can seriously feel electricity whilst reading this, an enormity of enthusiasm on every line. Inspiring, and as a fan of space, moon and all the glory this magnificent world has to offer I will say Kudos for the metaphor and thank you for sharing yourself from behind this magnificent Sun. 🌹

How did imiss this one?
Hello Tony! Excellent writing and I am glad I found it. Full of meaning. My thinking is…a poem without meaning is just pretty words.
Greetings from Bernadete
I had to read this several times so I could truly absorb it and feel the deeper meaning. I am sad. I am happy. I am satisfied. I went through a gamut of emotions....line by glorious line. Thank u for taking me on a journey into your thoughts. Beautifully written.
