Mon Petit Prince & Most Wonderful Fellow Poem by Margaret Alice

Bonjour, Mon Petit Prince
do you still have the same cube -
a wall in the desert, where you wait
for the snake to effect your return
to unconsciousness -

You were so firmly convinced
of annihilation by death
but I’m sure that you’ll find
it’s much better than this earth
where we are rejected by loved ones

How can you believe that the YOU
that you are, can ever vanish
as if the wind would stop blowing
if there were no leaves
to sway and sigh in its touch…

Even if there were no-one around
you’d still find that all objects on earth
has some form of consciousness –
there is no need for an ear when sound is
relayed to a form of vibration

Nor for an eye when vision is traced back to
patterns formed by different vibrations
everything is an energy manifestation
I think you’ll find that your mind
is energy too – independent of YOU

My Petit Prince, I hope we shall share
some brilliant humour and marvellous fun
once our earthly journey is done
until then, fare thee well, I hope
to see you again!


2. Most Wonderful Fellow

I prefer dreaming to life
any day - I might have had
a horrible time as ME, but
I’d say my imaginary heroine
has a wonderful time!

He, the Hero, that is,
is a most wonderful fellow,
an amorous lover, an
all-through-the-nighter

I’ll bet that is only ever
a fantasy; and I’ve reserved
it for my best heroine – I’ve
imagined her – interestingly –
not too beautiful, but kind of nice,

and she has adventures that
take my mind off my sorrows.
Given my theory of the Multiverse
with infinite possibility, there
is a place where her adventures

could have come true – I’ll never rue
capacity to dream – albeit, I’ll dream
my life away: I prefer dreaming to life
any day! And though you are so strict
when sober – whenever you drink

too much – you become such
a sweet person – I think you
should remain in a state of
insobriety –
forever!
