(Sorry for my lack of new material as of late, everyone! I've been busy volunteering and, after having experienced a life-changing weekend a week ago, I've been busy writing a five-part poetic prose series all about my experience at the festival.

As I leaf through my poetic archive, I'm simply bowled over at how many of my poems had Tantric undertones to them all along, well before I ever began to read up on Tantra, including this one here from five years ago. It's truly miraculous can life can turn out often! I guess I was born a child of Tantra, even when I didn't know what it was called for years before, LOL!)

Tourmaline
By: Noah Eaton
8/17/04


Fifteen shades of blue kiss the sea,
zirconium starships are blinking,
cities and villages join together dancing,
dolphins leap with butterfly wings singing,

electric teal arouses the chinook breeze,
rainbows from all ends of the universe backfiring,
spilling prisms and ecstasy,
our universe is expanding...

Tourmaline,
tourmaline.


    

Indicolite fingertips caress emerald forests,
electric castles are heaving,
kneeboarding on a rubellite punch-drunk abyss,
angel fish and lyretails are humming,

amethyst ships shipping to sea,
sea robins are warbling,
love will set our hearts surfing,
beautiful planet kaleidoscopic and dazzling.

Tourmaline,
tourmaline.


    

Our imagination promenades in Coriolis Effect,
the Peekskill fireball is blue-shifting,
bolide of love explodes upon our pulsating planet,
spilling topaz kisses and harmony,

Perseid Showers are cascading,
we're soused in seventh heaven felicity,
spilling prisms and ecstasy,
our universe is expanding...


Tourmaline,
tourmaline,
tourmaline,
tourmaline...

Tourmaline...

Noah, many of your poems brim with brilliant, psychedelic colours without the  use of the mundane red, blue, yellow.

In the Poetry Workshop, Balladeer had posted a lesson regarding the use of 'colorful' words for colours mentioned in a poem.

Here is the link. With the way you weave colour through your poetry, you'd do VERY well with this lesson!

Oh gosh what a kaleidoscope of brilliant colours meet my eye, this is just so beautiful !  Strikes me how dull it must be if you are colour blind.  Lovely ! And such a gorgeous title for a poem, the tourmaline is an often underestimated beauty of a gem.
