The Ether Eclipsed : In collaboration with barleygirl

The ether is packed with manic molecules
so much droning drivel from sages and fools

memes overriding the red and yellow roses

so many faces scrunched up in pruney poses

there are actually addiction engineers
pumping ether obsession for anonymous jeers

loaded scatter guns aimed towards beyond

ignorance devolving in fortuitous ponds

learning to dance around clusters of thorns
seeking an ether spot where real roses adorn

hiding like indigo deeply recessed

mid spikes of protection sins we confess

behind the veil we share our cyber cave
with kindness caresses along a sine wave

my oscillating heart beats hasten just when

words fly true and we begin again.

Lovely poem, Barlygirl and Einstein. A joy to read. I love the scientific references and then coming back to Earth with 'behind the veil we share our cyber cave.' Beautiful sentiments expressed and shared. Thank you.

encore, encore, encore!

[barleygirl]

Thanks for sharing your observations, Astri . . . I may have been thinking more in the straightforward & scientific vein, so it was fun to "bounce" my ideas off Gene's more "out in space" (more ethereal) comments. Thanks for stopping by to share! (((HUGS)))

aahhh....what a beauty! "words fly true and we begin again".....this was a literary workout for my poetic heart.....where is that pen.....no, sharpened pencil, now - I need to catch this moment while I'm walking on the milky way....:)

Mr E....we need to compare notes soon again.....I've experimented with a lot of recipes....:P

[Einstein Noodle]

i am here sir and i am ready ..when i saw your avatar at this poem i knew it would speak to you ... thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! working with barleygirl was so smooth .. she is something else!
E.
ps. drop me a note about your ideas!

[barleygirl]

Thank you both for your fun & uplifting comments! Hope you have fun sharing new ideas! (((HUGS)))

Big E.....working with members of the refined gender such as Barleygirl would surely help the rough-around-the-edges pebbles such as ourselves....... :)

Time to sharpen my pencils again...:)

Truer words not said in jest, maybe? Your thoughts run the same path, clearing the way before, aside and behind. Deep thoughts the two of you - a near detergent of make-believe and insincerity.. yet, allowing for emotions to live on.

Not selecting any part of a collaboration, rarely do such a thing. Will only add that you make beautifully and dutifully refined music..

[Einstein Noodle]

we had a great time in the writing (i am pretty sure i can speak for barleygirl) the ether can mean a lot of things .. so i found it pretty easy to form our thoughts around each others ..a real treat to work with her! ;) i love the way you put it .. "a near detergent...." ... and that our positive closing came through for you ... "..allowing for emotions to live on."
thank you so much for reviewing!
E.

[barleygirl]

Yes, I can always depend on Emmajoy to find the most unusual ways to express herself ("a near detergent")! It was fun to be swishing around the ether with Gene on this little creative journey! (((HUGS)))

[emmajoy]

Every word the two of you have written about your collaboration and your feelings bout it, shows in the wonderful result. Just expressed my thoughts. x x (Cousinly one for each of you - as said, no favouritism!)

I felt a very beautiful peace reading this
Sometimes i am certain all of the secrets of the universe lies upon our night skies
The kindness we all share within
and this eternal seek for beauty

A really stunning piece
Well done !!!

[Einstein Noodle]

E.

[Einstein Noodle]

[barleygirl]

Yes, I'm kinda blown away & soaring thru space with the way our starry friend appreciated our message, Gene! *wink! wink!* (((HUGS)))

Hi E.
You and Bareygirl really out did yourselves. This is a brilliant poem. I truly enjoyed it. It isn't your run of the mill syrupy mush. It is very thought provoking. It has a calming element to it that is very soothing. I enjoyed the music video also. Have a great week end, Earl

[Einstein Noodle]

how fine to see you Earl! thank you for stopping and taking time to review ... its always important .. glad you enjoyed .. no....no mush added ;}
E.

[barleygirl]

Thanks so much (this is Barleygirl) . . . I appreciate your kind words especially the part about the calming effect, which is good to know becuz that's what I was thinking about when writing with Gene (((HUGS)))

[barleygirl]

You did a great job of posting this with excellent art that I adore & also your perfectly-picked soundtrack! I kinda hate to have to come back down to earth, now that we've completed our orbit of sharing *wink! wink!* Thanks for jostling me into this collaboration! (((HUGS)))

[Einstein Noodle]

I think the word is Cosmic although even that falls somewhat short.
You two have taken a truly awesome subject and brought it to heel in the most erudite and frankly mathematically sensuous way. I am throughly impressed with this. Can you have a lovely scientific rant? It seems you can.

[Einstein Noodle]

you are too kind sir ..than you so much .. barley girl is straight forward down to earth Wondergirl to work with .. love you review and what came out for you in reading ... very cool ... i am happy and gratified ... thanks again sir!
E.

[barleygirl]

I love the word "Cosmic" & now I want to write a poem with that word in mind! I also love the description "mathematically sensuous" which is a huge compliment, so thank you very much for stopping by to share with us! (((HUGS)))
