Poem
where rainbows breathe (for the late Dorothy Collins, 1961-2015) by ‘bro. zayid’ “I’m just chasing rainbows… “And I ain’t seen a star that’s had your smile… “I’m just chasing rainbows… “Like a butterfly I’m zooming through the sky…” Chasin Rainbows, Blue Magic(1975) what happens when loves dies… when a star personal and tender falls from the sky… after the acidic vat of tears u burn bleaches yr landscape’s face after yr mountain of anger rages and explodes after the impaling thirst of absence real and sudden and permanent empties you from inside… what do u do? what do u do? when a star personal and tender falls from the sky icing yr heart freezing yr summer blurring yr rainbows… what do u do?... u carry that love close like yr life depends on it because it does and u let it be… let it run river rich and raw from yr heart to the very soles of yr feet and let it guide yr remaining steps towards preserving and protecting and fulfilling all the love left here to be found in this realm… let it leap from yr heart to the back of yr mind the very seat of soul consciousness where yr sea of salty tears were born… where those memories of a lifetime pure and full gel like breast milk honeyed sweet… let it flow from yr heart aching and huge to yr tongue on yr thirsty starving crying tongue where its taste will dance on and on forever… carry that love cradle that love… let nothing or no one come anywhere near the candlelight glow of love u once knew in her eyes and let it simmer in yr own eyes… let it be… let it flow like a river’s heartbeat sparkling and rich to a sweet place to a personal place to an evergreen eternal place where u can always taste that love to an untouchable place where the plume of that love’s candle radiates on forever an elect place a special place where rainbows breathe and leap from the mouth of god… a personal tender evergreen place where stars do not fall where stars do not fall… “the days have turned to teardrops falling colder than the snow… “the ups and downs are getting me down. “it’s no wonder that I’m cold “so until the day the eagle flies, I’ll wait for you. “until I hold u close again, I’ll pray for you… “memories of me sing this song for you… “I’m just chasing rainbows, and I aint seen a star that’s had yr smile… “I’m chasing rainbows, like a butterfly I’m zooming through the sky…” ©2015 all rights reserved
