APPLAUD! THE COMEDY IS OVER
I stand awaiting the moment
Of the total eclipse of the sun,
With wrinkled forehead.
I am called to listen
by a certain Nostradamus.
"It shall end, the world shall,
On the day,
The very day of the eclipse"
says he. He explains in monotone
The phenomenal power of the eclipse.
One before the birth of Alexander the Great
Accurately over the lands he conquered.
One before the birth of Muhammad
Accurately on the land of the Great One.
One before the birth of Karl Marx
Accurately over the vastness of his dream.
I am unsettled.
And have been unsettled in many areas of life.
Before the arrival of this day.
The feeling of doom lingers truly.
In this age of much change and much hope,
I do not know what is right or wrong.
What is true or real.
What is black or white or grey.
Whether my eyes speak the truth to me.
But I am hoping feverishly for the new era,
The Rennaissance of our age to emerge.
The inflexion of revolution shall come.
Whether it be our doom or not.
It shall come.
We have seen the film.
The credits have rolled.
And I leave the cinema in the rain.
To the end of the road.

Written before the total eclipse of the sun in 1999
Comments about this poem:
I like your poem A LOT. And "Applaud! the comedy is over"
The last words of Motzart I believe. :)
It is a very dramatic poem that is literal. You have taken such an
omniscient approach to it... very difficult. And somewhat it stands for how
life is. How things change.
It makes me realize certain things in life. A friend of mine was telling
me about getting poetry published. At times we feel like we are talking to
ourselves. But in reality.. someone can be in the spotlight one day...
forgotten the next. So .. what endures?
Self ability and realization in your dreams.
You seem to show this in your poetry.
Very beautiful.
