Astronomy: A Love I Could Never Have

everyone is going to their place of dream
their pen and papers screams pride and dignity
and in the fate's script it only talks about my failure
my efforts led me to nowhere but my defeat
i'm envious of everyone who got to follow their dreams

i learnt about the stars, galaxies and cosmos
so one day i could steal a

Night View

Night View

I sit by the fire with a lone lamp,
dimmed, so my eyes can watch the 
astronomical wonder above me.
A small mesquite fire to warm my bones
in the chill night air.
A new moon to not block my vision
of such magnificence.

Jewels decorate the sky,
pinpoints of light billions of miles away.
Perhaps I can see mighty Leo or

starlink satellites
amid the heavenly bloom —
cosmic photobomb

One bright star

    
 As I walked around this rusted mobile home park on a cold December night, with unpaved roads and the usual strays nowhere in sight.
 I stopped to look up at the beautiful moonlight.
It was a large full moon with a lonely star nearby.
Seemed strange that no other stars were out

Ursa Major

Ursula, oh Ursula

As constellations go

Ursa Major in the sky

Forever do you glow.

Onto a world you gaze upon

Your perch upon a star

Lovingly you're watching me

A dear friend from afar.

Ursula, dear Ursula

The heavens cry out, too

For nothing in the sky

Is quite as beautiful as you.

Where quasars leap into a sea

Of nebulizing gas

And galaxies remain unformed

Waiting for you

Planetary Love

Your eyes shine like the Sun
My chance with you, small like Mercury
My heart, near you, burns like Venus
The tears of my weeping come from Earth

When I see you, I turn red like Mars
My desire to have you, the size of Jupiter
On your fingers, I would fit the rings of Saturn
But without having you, my heart

The Moon

When I look at the dark sky
I see the moon
Inside the moon I see the King
With the Crown
Sitting on the throne
Holding the book with a seal
Leaning on his knees 
And what do you see ?

Ghost of Vulcan

A world imagined
A phantom circling the sun
Veiled by her white glare 
Pulling on Mercury's heels 
Pulling on mankind's veiled minds 

About the hypothetical planet Vulcan, which was theorised to exist as the nearest planet to the Sun in the 19th century.

Astronomy

We have lost touch with our ancestors

Is the Earth Living Inside of a Black Hole

In a cosmic dance, where space and planets entwine,
Earth's secrets hide in a black hole's design.
A swirling abyss, where light meets its end,
A paradoxical realm, where periodic tables transcend.

Within its grasp, our blue planet resides,
A speck inside darkness, where time softly glides.
A universe within, mysteries unfold,
A celestial cradle, science unfolds.

Yet, life persists, resilient and bold,
Within

Revelation of the Draco Constellation

He is lifted above the deserted wilderness as a snake
His tail is the starlight river that flows into delight 
Christ bursts forth the brightest river so every pearl can return home


(Inspired by the teaching by the ancient Gnostic sect the "Peratics" that Christ opened a door to paradise through the draco constellation)

June's Cosmic Parade

°*•***•***•*°*°*•***•*°*°*•***•*°

June’s dreams
you’re the guide
"meet & greet" 
the ecliptic zoo
a must-see!

a new five worldless day
goes on parade
these planets never stand still
click on Mars to tune up
see Mars square Pluto
as it crawls through Capricorn

truth freedom and that
need to capture the planet
of love we had
pay attention to retrograding
Mercury will be found

become mythology 
find your inner mama bear
June is

Celestial Spider Web

A spider web is wondrous made
with interwoven threads o’erlaid
of sticky strands to snare the prey
in intricately shaped display
like filamented promenade.

High up, in galaxy brigade
agrouped through gravity obeyed
in Hydra’s grip the stars portray
a spider web.

‘Midst Nature’s splendorous parade
on cloths of heavenly brocade
as earthly spider spins its way
so cosmic galaxies convey
enlaced within galactic glade
a spider web.

Astronomical Aggravations

Two Empire State Buildings fly by Earth
Phobos will crash into Earth on Mars Day
Careless Martians created our universe in Pluto's lab
Pluto walks a tightrope over underestimated solar flares

Astronomy of Love

The sun is over ninety million miles away
While the moon shines nightly above 
But the stars reside in your gentle eyes
Like tiny sparkling diamonds of love

On a space ship we call “Enchantment”
We set sail on a placid sea of bliss
Wrapped in the arms of the goddess of love
Enraptured by the warmth of her kiss
