Best Comets Poems

From the sky I drop like two flies
Whirring, swirling in the air so high
Blazing like crystals I come in fire
Rolling like thunder, bolting so dire

From the top you see me fall
Dwindling over you like wishing spirals on hold
Exploding before your eyes, blasting like winter snow
Feeding,...

Comets.
Morning glory.
Perseus mirrored magic.
Free at last, oh.
Gaze....

We come from the Kuiper belt,
Or from the Oort cloud,
We’re bodies of the solar system,
Guess who we’re?

If we’re short lived,
We come from beyond the Neptune’s orbit,
If we’re long lived,
We come from that spherical cloud.

We’re filled with ice,
And we’re so cold,
And when we pass the sun,
Our...

Oh, what powerful lights on a sable sea
Sugar crystals sprinkled on all ebony
Back to the ground, eyes up to sky
Plant me like this, the very day I die
In a glass coffin on the world, display
My eyes to the stars, as comets foray
I pray to heaven...

Ah! 
The cruel fates
of comets and kings.

To bend
around the arc of Archimedes,
swaying and swelling,
to be crowned on its 
next flight around.

Followed by trails
with wind in their sails, until 
new laws are lain on the land.

They so love the moon,
they would encase it in granite.
Again, they'll...

Comets taking a self guided tour
So many to drink in without a slur
Mystical and genuine, both are a plenty
Antares is a fundamental of my entity
The only commonality is their drawings among the stars
As Tellurians, we claim many of them are among ours
Signs are clearly visible...

Stars imitating comets 
 be like as those explore

Make eyebrows rise for a
 comet in the distance is
 fishing it's tail left to right

Such a sight exploring
A thrill for adrenaline
 craves another sight

As an addictive need's
 such exploring

I crave more as this imitating 
 zone...

An advanced party
From many years in the future
Visit a planet called earth
A most barren of features
 
They ascend a steep hill
Like a battle scarred scene
As their receivers locate
Something unseen
 
They scrape the dirt
And uncover a find
Something so old
From a different time
 
Surveillance over
They head back...

Comets

Little comets
Large comets
Fabulous comets
Green blue
Violet and red
Comets
They have amount
Of dust and ice
Cold dark and hot
Sun makes them more
More beautiful in skies
How mesmerizing and 
Enchanting comets are!...

His lips are the west gates of night
His lips are the east gates of light
Bursting night and light, we say thus:
“Lord, Father, have mercy on us”

His height is the five depths we view
His height is the ten skies of blue
Deep chasm and sky’s tower, thus:
“Lord,...

Through Sleep’s Veils 

through sleep’s veils
my feet battle blankets
as comets streak the bleak night

In a perfect world, we would love everyone,
our hearts would be open to all.
No ideologies would clutter our space,
our grievances would be small.

There'd be no prejudice, no ego trips,
our thoughts would find common ground.
The color of our skin would be artists' hues
the most lovely mixtures...

Space 

No beginning - no end
No sunrise - no sunsets
No edges to curl back or peek behind
Light living in darkness
Tumultuous fire –cinders of ice
Thunder and silence
Volatile and stoic
Unfathomable depths – reachable stars
Empty – star-spangled
Orbits - oblivion
Planets - astral plains
Stellar nebulas – streaking comets
Constellations – red...

For the hundredth time in my lifetime,
I've placed my love between the stars,
In the void of black at the canvas of space.

It isn't mine to behold, not now, truly never,
But I'd like to see it, in the loneliest times,
At my midnights, and in my earthly...

now i know the details of the creatures
who walked around the Earth department
I always acted with them in this movie
until the projectile I sent split the base of the pavement
and the shards mark this end
what is human inside them bids farewell
they sadly greet their fate...
