Cosmic Dust Spirals

cosmic dust spirals, 
supernatural storms born 
the Goldilocks zone


Free verse ~

A quadrant of marble missiles born

Ever since,
A dream catcher catches dreams
Jupiter catches meteorites and asteroids

Super-sonic projectiles pass Jupiter's gravitational shield
Shoots like V-1 rockets, destination is Mars
Seeded life exists there, nevermore 
Saturn survived

The Red planet bleeds from beneath its crust
Lava flows from its core...
graphite composite, carbon spheres, laced with crystal ice

Craters and gorges are created kilometers deep
Cave creatures hibernating, 
awaken from nocturnal sleep

Catastrophic events unfold...
the moon impacted by brazen bombardiers
headed for the new frontier

The moon takes mega-hits
The Earth tilts on its polar axis
Crimson tides flood marshlands and lagoons
Place prehistoric creatures roam and graze

Cosmic dust particles of the moon
chokes earth's atmosphere
The sun's torch extinguished 
Like an eclipse

Demons from the core escape shackles 
They tear the invisible rift, mimics paper ripping
Chains can not bind Lucifer's legions, anymore
Bat-like winged creatures with horns
Gargoyles

Such astonishing-force! 
10,000 volcanoes erupting simultaneously     
There's no haven to hide
Only deep sea creatures survive

The brontosaurus, T-Rex, raptor... 
vaporized in minutes
Solidified into petrified rock - place they once stood
Invincible creatures extinct

Scanning the horizon and extraterrestrial skies, 
I ponder... what if another catastrophic disaster happens
The volcano erupts ever so, many -- many moons
A supernova, two stars colliding, has triggered this domino disaster

This poem is Awesome! I really enjoyed the read on this. I wish I could have given this a 10 instead of a 7 but this is how high the bar goes.
