Eighth Place

*
Streaming dust specks of his aura left as evidence
A celestial being formed of stardust *
To adorn him any less of his scintillating charm,
his signature star walk, or shimmering trails,    *
I’d need to resign to an asylum to deny a twilight of stars
To beautify him further lacks only a gilded spark divine
Saline crystals glisten along the lunar dirt
Thus, Mooneys herald his unabashed arrival
To scorch the icy caps in the Veruca craters,  *
jagged bolts in clutched fists as he sweeps in space-time 
continuum  throughout  the  sky
                               *
Lunestials have dubbed him the Starry White Duke
Known to consume copious amounts of fluorescent  *
moonstones, (sodium potassium aluminum silicate)
The moon goddesses conceal their precious stones
“There is a vital need to replace what has hitherto been 
a haphazard method of destruction”    *
Their oracle Oriana gatekeeper of water source and supply
warns of the lunar eclipse event, of unscrupulous 
landlords tempted to suppress their tenants                                                                                                            
       *
A forceful baritone emerges, fiercely echoing  *
“Your moon’s polar ice caps have eons of water, 
moon energy spilt to spoilt Homosapiens”
In a veiled hush Luna keeps Diana’s teachings alive, 
The sunrays warm only on one side of the moon
awaiting the solar eclipse to melt the ice  *
Earth is needed for its shadow as are the
Humans to maintain their world   *
     *
       Sun      Moon     Earth   ~

Shall they not exist one without the other?   *
Sun’s soul has undermined Starman’s cosmic mind,
With respect to its orbit, he roams around the sun
Starman has appeared on Earth over the centuries 
His thoughts espousing conspiracy theories: 

     “The sun doesn’t rise or set”          *
                      “The celestial equator wraps the sky”
                                     “Your world wobbles” from his view, riotous
  *                                                     
Dating back to the 70s, when earthlings       *
baptized him the Glam Alien, on his Isolar tour
He performed in experimental theatre of the worlds
Constant rate of passageways transversing thru the cosmos
Experimenting upon the four-dimensional experience      *
At present, once again awaits the lining of the planets
Star walking upon the planetary parade          *
Hovering aloft, o’er   *

Jupitar,   Uranus,  Neptune,  Mars,  Saturn
                                      *
In search of Starwoman
Gone for ages, absent for light years!
Last seen on Earth,   *
illuming energy at Mother Nature, serving Her 
and Helios of the sun, goddess Aeos of the dawn, 
and goddess Selena of the moon  *
In hopes of a better Universal solar system of things
Aligned and in tuned with nature’s galactic intent *
     *
                     *

                                      *

This is indeed so erudite and mind blowing! Loved your cross references to the celestial bodies, Greek and Roman Gods and goddesses. Lofty diction too. A real exploration into the galaxies. I am sure this would have been placed higher, at least above mine, hadn't you digressed from the specifications of the contest. (You failed to give a message... just my thoughts) However, Congratulations Anaya on your win and your wonderful versification.

All though its in a galaxy far far away, there is a message of hope for the worlds! It's in the last stanza, Starwoman last seen on Earth, illuming energy at Mother Nature, serving Her and Helios of the sun, goddess Aeos of the dawn, and goddess Selena of the moon In hopes of a better Universal solar system of things Aligned and in tuned with nature’s galactic intent !!

Anaya, my favorite part of this involves the search for Starwoman. We need her more than ever now. Smiles!

Exactly my sentiments, lol. She is working with allies for a better Milky Way and Galaxy!! While Starman, glam alien is spreading conspiracies, although he maybe right! This can also bend as a political piece ;)

This blew my mind, all the cool cosmic references and to Bowie himself. How can anyone fault a poem that includes a reference to the Moonies? This had to take some time. This read like a hippie's psychedelic trip. Leary would approve

A poem filled with great imagery of the cosmos. There is always a hint of the mystic in it. A vivid, almost cinematic vision of a great poem.
