Asteroid


You were out of this world 
named for the Perseids
the meteor 
that exploded in two striking the blue 
between the sun and the moon 
the massive spark an exclamation mark
that punctuated perfectly my
“hey we’re going to see some awesome...”

fireworks tonight and
a week later


    Gravity 


led me to you
all arctic and wolfy
all wild and white
a firecracker alright
You were out of this world 
a brilliant light in my life for
fourteen years


     Graced


after you died 
I learned a meteor 
had streaked
that very same sky
the same day

my gift from the heavens 
the heavens reclaimed

Premium Member Being a Lonely Asteroid

Billions of years in the universe of time, millions of solar systems
galaxies, living stars, dead stars, speeding starlights of dead worlds

My solitude is this life, scud through in infinity, in the space, a cold life
I am just a pebble, like my brothers in the ocean. This is our life

No one understands us. Suffering my asteroid heart. I can’t land
I can’t find a stable place for my billions of years old life. Oh God!

I can’t find a heart, a lifemate, a love, a woman, I can’t create a family
Because I have to move always. My end is the scud, the speed. Hmm

No stop. Never. Just go, go, go… No time to die. But I need. Long this
Hmm. My nature, my life is my end. If I land, then I will explode

Nothing will remain of my life
Just my invisible grave in the crater

Hmm
This is
The Poor
Asterid
Life

I will continue my life
In the ocean

Beyond the Asteroid Belt

From on top of a sharp hill
My feet have molded the dirt,
oh I am wandering still 
How long does it take to fall again?
it's too late this time, I'm afraid,
The ship's already gone,
The fire from the engine is led,
The words for them never can be said,
Taunting images of the new that passed
are provoking these incredible feelings
to emerge and leave me speechless,
completely baffled.
Now I am outside of the blue Terra,
Moving with great speed but to no aim,
The ship has reached the belt 
the asteroids are plenty, enough to alarm me,
So I kept silent, one more minute,
Now I exit the danger and face the miracle,
My heart is filled with confusion, 
too many planets, to many choices,
But I know now, It took me just a second
to understand, to grasp the space,
and now I have the answer,
To Mars shall I go, if There I can fall again.

always the object of analyses
universe is what the universe is
from quarks to atoms, planets to galaxies
plus divers cosmic abnormalities

everything caught up in heavenly flow
of where non-stop change forces it to go
no guarantees a passing asteroid
will not explode our world into the void

no guarantee seeds will grow in the soil
no guarantee the great oceans won't boil
no guarantee we will have air to breathe
no guarantee we will have lives to lead

no guarantee we'll have time to reckon
all may end in interstellar second

View From An Asteroid

Which way?  You ask, is far from home
when you live among the stars
Which way?  I know, been here before
but last time it was Mars

When I came here  (awhile ago)
the Earth was still asleep
Cooling down, the crust still glowed
mountains with caverns deep

Thousands more, just like this one
beyond your wildest dreams
In Galaxies both near and far
with molten bubbling streams

There is no end, perpetual life
as fast as one World dies
A dozen more, new glowing Orbs
are seen throughout the skies

I leave again, I might come back
that's if my path is clear
Could be in twenty thousand years
I'll see if you're still here.....

Asteroid


Trumps the meteor
Fragile planet waits in fear
One more climate change


Asteroid Belts

9/10/16


Polar ice caps continue to melt
Below asteroid belts
And above beds of kelp

Materials being smelt
Hyped up and stocked across the shelf

Better focus on your health
As much as, if not more than you do with wealth

Keep swimming, you don't have to be as good as Phelps
Near and far from kelt
And areas inhabited by elk
As well as crops, few of which may have been spelt

Close and beyond where people dwelt
Many toiled and prayed while they knelt

With all the hands I was dealt
Always tried to handle them myself
Because I didn't like to ask for help
From anyone else

Finally saw her, she was wearing felt
And her intentions were heartfelt/ And a traditional dress considered Welsh

Asteroid

Never been afraid of the nought,
Until your existence came upon.
Never feared requiems,
Until your breath stirred my life.
Did not mind stoicism,
Until your smile revitalized everything around.

It is like
every light, every meaning,
every sunshine and every wonderful thing
that the Earth has,
are being possessed by you.
Only you.

And if you decide not to stay,
the world will never be the same.
It would turn into a mass of asteroids.
Lifeless,
meaningless,
useless.

You have the core of my Earth,
And without you,
there will be no more foundation for my spirit,
music on my lyrics
and reason for my heartbeat.

So please, Love, do not leave.
But, when my encasement do not satisfy you anymore,
When the Earth is not enough for its core,
Forget my plea.

Leave,
my sunshine,
my soul,
my everything.
I embrace the state of being an asteroid.
As long as I make you happy.

Premium Member The Red Diamond

His heart would flutter, so in love was he.
She was smart, well-read, and a great beauty
So under the moon, on his bended knee, 
He pleaded with her, "Will you marry me?"

The answer, "yes", he was relieved to hear,
Then they both decided the time next year.
"But your diamond takes longer, true, I  fear."
He rued the remark that saddened his dear.

"Oh, it will be shipped to you by and by.
'Bout ten years", he said, for he could not lie.
"It's a rare red diamond that I did buy,
And lodged in an asteroid in the sky."

"When the rock flies near to our planet's place,
We will send up a rocket to its face,
So we can dig out the gems from its base,
And you will wear a ring from outer space".

Sixty-five million years B.C.
No human being around to see
Near total extinction: a catastrophe
Heaven knows when the next one will be

Astronomer Bob, didn't expect to see
Speeding on its lethal trajectory 
NASA insist it shall pass safely by
Lowlife reporter exposes that lie

Three days remain to atone for our sin
Many men turn to beer, whisky or gin
Mothers on knees beseeching the sky
Clutching their children they openly cry

Two days remain to face our worst dreads
And ponder the lack of atomic warheads
Some say a couple of well focused hits
Our nemesis shattered to vaporised bits

One day remains to reflect on humanity
Many enact hedonistic insanity
Others pen memoirs hand written at speed
Futile indulgence for no man to read

And lo is the sky ignited ablaze
Searing the vision of man’s final gaze
Impact tremendous but count not the dead
For it simply flattened my grandfather’s shed

Premium Member Asteroid Love

Find you
Hold your hands in mine
Look in your eyes
Tell you I love you
That’s what I would do
If Earth was getting slammed by an asteroid tomorrow
Oh my God! What if it turns out to be a near miss?

Like An Asteroid

Burning rocks had 
a near miss. The 
questions splatter 
the blood-

to inspire and break 
you inside and out. 
Unbecoming, to end the 
relationship. The story?

begins of an introvert. 
The ungreen grass waits 
for your wet toes, 
to breathe again.

The blood-money was 
very high, after the? 
violent end of a  
blade run.

My pillow is soaked of 
a moonfall. The anguish 
of a bodyless grave 
was haunting.

Premium Member An Oncoming Asteroid

Got abdominal pains, could mean a poop
Take heed or you'll soon be poopin' in your suit
Something to avoid
A gigantic asteroid
Sometimes accompanied by a big log to boot

Premium Member Asteroid My Apartment Sized Wolf

gut shopped far and wide

                                         familiar

                                   gravity drew me

>>>>> every way devised to deflect an asteroid
relatively small space rocks could wipe millions of people off
our planet, so what can we do for our Moon base, to do, also avoid 

unsettlingly asteroid passing close by Earth or a near fly by, tragic
crash on our moon base should be made ready with cyborgs, A.I. Robots
hundreds of them, fiberglass, heat resistant, spiderweb fabric...
         With dual 'JETPACKS' on their backs to do asteroid combat...

for strength, one hand made of magnetized alloy, another sticky like a tar glove...
Rocket-propelled arm attachments are both, used to reach, grab imposing asteroid...
Laser, solar, radar collectors attached to 'AI Robot', new A.I. Robot Cyborg...

function of our cyborg AI Robots controlled to use
their Jetpacks to proceed with launch off moon on to
approaching Asteroid also accurate maneuvers abstruse... 

around said Asteroid while Arm Rockets...
are fired to attach AI Robots to a suitable spot,
one suitable to a position, too push against Asteriod rock...

onto a direction of deflection from Earth or moon,
rockets attached to robot legs two of them, when fired...
will bend knees to press against asteroid, abstrudere real soon 

also, radio controlling signals that direct; to move rocks to be deflected away
from Earth or our moon, space station, last chance, 'one year' in advance...
           so that humanity has a chance too, live, exist another day.  

"Do as you must, also to save Earth you must support all space efforts NOW"

    Perry Campanella submits his method, for review, also a New Theory
              " This Poem was inspired by Nostradamus Predictions "
NOTE: abstrudere - To push away
