Space Traveling Gypsy

She was always looking for the light or some **** Just a sun ray or a beam or a candle to be lit The celestial lost in orbit An eclipse, and she went with the wrong comet even van Gogh couldn't paint her night shooting for the rainbow, got the meteorite. one small step for man giant leap for mankind shot off into space, but she had a change of mind She's a heat seeking missile to take her flight floating with the stars but losing sight Because the galaxy she lived had a few supernovas ~stars faded out due to addictive personas ~stars faded out, light years of parole, uh ~stars faded out, left her heart in a coma shoulders feeling heavy with the weight of gravity life's getting messy floating on absently Before, she had the galaxy lit up on a tapestry pointing to the stars and formulating strategies she was taking rides in the Apollo program swishing more hoops then on space jam Making her way in the atmosphere Commanding more stars than buzz light year So what went wrong with the space cadet ? As she takes a deep breath, and lights a cigarette The galaxy she lived in had a few stars a few supernovas left a few scars a stellar evolution, exploitation of illusions universal execution, eternal retribution ~her heart beats on to the phenomenon waiting on a star she can depend on~ Constantly let down by the constellations trying to keep her faith in the stars anticipation So she went on ~Rays shine brighter in the darkness Gotta keep glowing even when its starless~ Hoping that her soul is something to redeem As she takes her daughter through this meteor stream Because The Galaxy she lived in had a few stars A few supernovas left a few scars A Magnetic cloud with a shock wave In the stars of her daughters eyes she's still brave Years ago you would find her up in outer space dancing with the stars, so far, rolling face But the stars they let her down Put her gently on the ground One by one they fell showed the beast inside of belle Down to the ground like Alice in the midst of all the madness an interstellar sadness In the roots of the chaos Spirits had a séance Missing space, She cant follow the atlas Feeling like shes lost, lonely pathless There was a galactic apparatus That gave her the Aurora Borealis? The planet that she was banned to gave her a good girl Who lit up her heart, became her whole world Now she carries herself no space she's grounded Because Endless love is what she's founded ?

Jasmine, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
