COMICS & POEMS 2: A Party of Rainbows, Poetry Feature

A Party of Rainbows

Night was exploding with white light and laughter
And, as a foreigner, lost alone drifting at sea
Knows no escape from a star-less black capture
Nothing to guide him, still he prays endlessly
To return home, although fearing what might be

Music came spilling out/filling the darkness
Time was a vacuum "Freeze-Framing" the trees
Cool blue electro-voice raptures the airways
Smoke-orange burgundy glass on the stairways

On wings I fly through the dark, ancient night
Soaring to my heart-songs delight
Mosaic path/crosswinds "Fruitopian" Blues
Memories collide and dance in twos
Leaves a party of rainbows in my minds eye view

A night of Heaven on Earth revealed
Swirls of people dancing/singing all magically healed
By the musical power compelling the tunes
Resurrecting the feelings from romantic ruins
Haunts then spirits/reawakens the chosen few
At the party of rainbows and the love we once knew
