Notes About The Poem

In Eternal Memory - Collaboration With Darren White

Too many days of torment have come I lower my head and bow I’m done For I once knew of a life so grand From wide blue oceans to every land I have no rhythm, and no cadence I fly, my mind is free I leave you here, you torturers of souls and body, you can never have the real me For in my heart there burns a flame And in my head lies chemistry The element all at beck and call In these eyes a light you’ll see I shine on you in sun dust particles reflecting spectral colours back at you I will live in you, will thaw the cold, will make you human A kaleidoscope of colours you are mixture of cosmic dancing stars the rainbow over heaven awaits for you no matter the distance that you stroll And when we end, take our place in this dark night, or dawning light You will remember, and smile We will be together in eternal memory

You and Darren seem like similar guys to me in the way you have a spiritual connection to things, so it is very fitting that you did a poem such as this one together. Very lovely job, Budgie!! (along with Darren)

I read your comment, Darren, and wanted to add that in poetry we should not lock ourselves into a comfort zone. If we allow our minds and hearts to guide our pens we become free to travel anywhere...You've both done that here and in your Flight of the Whites.

Be strong like the oak but bend like the willow! That kind of force I like! When we hit our zone it just floods, doesn't it? I am honoured pontiff poet /|\
