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...

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...

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...

Premium Member 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 Floating like...

Beyond the Last Star
Is there a stellar orb that’s last, beyond beyonds of cosmic vast? I can’t imagine such a thing, no matter where my thoughts take wing, for always there would be one more at least, if not an endless store. Yet let my flight of fancy soar, through door beyond the furthest door and plumb the muses’ reservoir where heavens’ portals are ajar by searching yon...
