Timothy Ray Poet Romanticism

I Have Touched a Thousand Suns

i have touched a thousand suns
danced thru constellations infinite
lost myself wrapped in galaxies dreaming
tossed mercilessly from vortex to vortex
ran amok in meteoric showers across foreign skies
hidden in the eclipse shadows
pondered beneath the northern lights
in the purple-crimson sunsets
as quasars bore down on me
all of the glory the celestial heavens offer
none compare as watching the moonlight
softly in silence coming thru the window
gracing the face asleep next to me
a demanding volcanic lunacy
held in a breathless rapture
where time ceases
a vision escaping into eternity
the moon in its adoration
of the face asleep next to me

   Oregon   10/23

Otto Vox November 13, 2023 at 8:25 PM Celestial overwhelm. A welcome change from our down-to-earth lives.. Thanks! As a fan of Arthur C Clarke's science fiction books, this poem reminds me of him and one of his books where the indigo kids start to play with the moon... And then you sign off with 'Oregon' known as stargazing location :-) Timothy Ray November 22, 2023 at 8:11 PM my grandson is named Indigo....and i am a big fan of Arthur C. Clarke....still love science fiction...the evolution into Treky, ask my daughters about it when i took them to see...Wrath of Kahn....the shocked look as Dad cried as Spock was dying...

Sally Eslinger October 19, 2023 at 5:54 PM Yes, Timothy, Wow! “The moon in its adoration of the face next to me” Wow! You won the Yes! of every woman alive with that line! Gotta tell you truthfully, across from my bed (i’m x2/yrs bedridde) is a window that is my link to outside & thru it, i can see the moon(& sun) rise so i know what U speak! So splendid! Hugs, Timothy Ray October 19, 2023 at 7:36 PM always in my prayers Sally....i know of a couple who have a balcony they watch the moon rise....she puts the Blue Danube onto plays as it begins....

Paghunda Zahid October 16, 2023 at 4:20 AM Oh wow! This is really beautiful, very captivating. Loved it Timothy Ray October 17, 2023 at 10:30 PM thank you Paghunda....a very precious memory i keep...the purple-crimson sunsets were from the Krakatoa volcanic eruption i was studying which occurred in 1883....no matter where life takes you bring along those precious moments when love comes to town

Gary Radice October 13, 2023 at 8:10 AM As I started reading this Timothy I was reminded of that Blade Runner scene where a replicant speaks: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..etc" Suffice to say your words from your romantic poem shine so much brighter. Great work. Cheers - Gary Timothy Ray October 13, 2023 at 9:29 AM thank you Gary....i needed this respite as I have been subjected to several lectures on nihilism

Arthur Vaso October 12, 2023 at 11:49 PM You haven't even made your bed, if you truly love god stop complimenting people who hold in disgust immigrants trying to survive, you know like Jesus. Timothy Ray October 13, 2023 at 3:41 AM not following the logic here....how would Jesus qualify as an immigrant....more so how a lovely remembrance would qualify as such....let alone a god that demands a crucifixion to pay for some offense that never existed....
