Best Constellation Poems
Had a thought a moment ago, just before I broke your aura'd wing,
trapped here, forever, within Audouin's vast crater alone and pining.
Starved for ages, a new gnawing hunger'd vision looked to bring.,
had we met, you and I, before the javelin started skyward climbing?
Though skin is rough and jagged as scoria litter that surrounded,
there beats a heart recognized by all the vanquished ghosts of Mars.
Was this love, don't know..,tho' never felt quite so astounded.
Perhaps startled to realize, it was I..,snared by her eyes in fawning stars.
Pitiful, mortal creatures molded by divine hands such as we,
learn only now, the cosmos proves bearable only through love.
And so I'll starve tonight, and tomorrow, and perhaps forever be.,
though joyous still..,no longer alone, or taunted by constellations above.
At last you take wing again, watch you soar away into the starlit night,
this day found love to save, and let your spirit go in merciful flight.
~~My apologies to Carl Sagan~~
sometimes I sing
antique anthems,
of the nights
I was confined
within a bottle
of diamond tears,
wept woefully
from the widest sky
that held kaleidoscopic stars~
amidst festooned fields of
pixie-dust flowers,
hanging like
starburst chandeliers,
when t i m e was never in favor
of designing a
heart-shaped galaxy
to ease the
troubled torrents….
as languid linings
cast by the
sombre umbra
soaked me
in melancholic sprinkles,
of what was left in my strength;
for I knew nothing
beyond the evening clouds
that mirror
marshmallow musings,
stained with
tuscan tones. ..
yet, I remember
seeing your sunflower smile,
as I dreamt of
your mystical melodies,
spoken poetically,
way before I knew you
would become my reality,
though the homely hideaway
to my hopes
now fester amongst
corners of your
dusky eye lashes…
I’ve battled with nothing
but obsidian obstacles
that laid
in the
tiny tunnels
of my
crippled consciousness.
now our souls
seem chained in pearls
and coiled in amethyst anklets
as one, in stellar waves
through a
ceaseless constellation;
cosmic connection
endorsing these fingers
with your
poignant pantoums,
aligning my heart to lay
within your
evergreen embrace,
limited by
the lyrical land
you’ve lavished
my
longing lagoons into.
so here I am, scribbling stories
of our zealous zenith
within your platinum presence~
as confessions disguised
within tangerine tercets
of vanilla villanelles
have now come alive,
amidst a rebirth
of a warrior meant
to b l e e d
vivid verses
eviscerating
nacreous nebulas
into blissful b l u e brines,
that shall stream
through
unfamiliar rivers of dragon roses
till every electrifying element
rests in aesthetic harmony.
Grandma, what's a constellation of shapes?
It's the stars your looking at tonight.
See how they're shining bright,
Twinkling, and blinking across the black crape.
You'll need to read Greek and Roman mythology
They're full of legends who had escapades which
Were cloak and dagger kind of scrapes
That put Lupus the Wolf, Orion The Hunter, Draco
The dragon, the big and little dippers in to the
Skies. I hope this is feeding your appetite.
Grandma, what's a constellation of shapes?
It's the stars your looking at tonight.
Grandma, it's cold can I snuggle with you in your
Cape?
Of course you can Joshua. There's so much to
See. I have seen a green Comet and meteorites
That were burning through our atmosphere. Think
Of the story you could write.
If you use your imagination you could have
Quite an adventure among the stars to escape.
Grandma, what's a constellation of shapes?
It's the stars your looking at tonight.
yesterday
I worked without being able to control myself
I thought I was a guy in a pot of clouds
coming out of one of the earth
frightened
at midnight the endless midnight and I stretched out my hands
to catch him
to run
I fell asleep tired
stolen into nothingness
almost morning
you opened my eyes to me in new burrows
your eyes dripped over my writing
mangoes and we smell the holiday smell
tens of shining stars
I, a restless animal, run away from home
I was picking on love
we sweeten your footsteps, the footsteps of humanity
caught from flight to flight
the wonder rolled through the reverberated circles
echoes where unseen
how many thousands of years in the unknown
how many days on earth
small and scared
will they fit into your arms?
suddenly
I was ashamed of my fear
I answered
I kept quiet and went on with my life
where I left her trapped
no, I'm not a child left, even if my heart
that's how it felt one day
I cried out in nothing and dozens of lights went on,
dozens of houses and = have opened the doors for me
I have a long journey to do
joining in a drawing
outlined from one to the other
our lives
in one
cold constellations
degraded by detritus ~
cosmic collision
In every family system a distinct universe exists
Everyone in their orbit yet come together to coexist
As the solar system spins planets maybe drift apart
But the galaxies gravitational pull connects all hearts
Aquila (The Eagle) Constellation
Strong and brave, you are my eagle.
Soaring strength; gliding above earth.
Your light shines past the dark of day.
And brightens love along the way.
Your kindness perceives my wishes.
You fill me fully with your love.
Your helpfulness precedes my need.
You sacrifice your time, good deeds.
Because you are so caring, dear,
The brightest star both far and near!
A humble gift with this love rhyme,
Shall shine throughout eternal time.
Oh, Aquila, constellation.
Gaily in this new kingdom found.
The deed to your bright shining star,
Bought for you where angels abound.
High in the heavens up above,
I give this gift with all my love.
Far away, gleaming in the sky.
Waits your wishing star named, “Ingrid”.
Commemorating life, we two.
Anniversary love renewed.
Forever, dreaming as one heart.
Loving as millennium stars.

The Constellation of The Christ
Includes The Bright Morning Star of Life
and Seven Stars Held In His Hand
Each Shines For Seven Congregations of Man
And Shining Near & Shining Far
Thru Time & Space Is That DayStar
and Where That DayStar Rise In Hearts
All Will See The Spectacular Start!
The Constellation of The Christ
Shone Brightest At His Sacrifice
For At High Noon! Darkness Covered The Land
When They Killed GOD's Son - The Son of Man ...
And A Roman Soldier After It Was Done
Even Knew and Said: "This Was GOD's Son"
And A Darkness Covered The Entire Earth!
Because JEHOVAH's Heart Had Been Hurt ...
And In That Unusual, Storm-Dark Sight
The Universe ... Focused On That One Light!
Hung and Offered To Heaven's Throne
Was Lifted Up & Afterwards Went Home
For It Was From Above That Star Descended
And So Back To Heaven That Star Ascended
So The Breach Between Heaven & Earth Was Mended
& The Darkness of Death's Space Was Ended
And Now, That Star Shines In The Sky
And Now, That Star Will Never Die
He's With The Father of Celestial Lights
Dwelling Where Its Unapproachably Bright!
But The Constellation of The Christ
Beckons Us Close To Eternal Life
And No Sights of Powerful Pulsars & Quasars
Can Compare To The Constellation of Our Savior
Christ Told Us To Let Our Faith Lights Shine
& Follow The Course of His Constellation Signs
and The Constellation of The Christ
Will Shine Forever Over Us In Paradise

A constellation
is the big picture one sees
when connecting each star
so all the traits on a person or thing
can be seen for what they really are
Gazing up into the sky
A falling star catches my eye
Surrounded by the brightest moon
A memory soon floods my head
Of all the things we left unsaid
Misalignment of the stars
Drown your sorrows in a bar
Lies, deception, I was weak
But you are hopeless. Never speak
What you seek you will not find
My heart was used but it's still kind
A constellation in my head
My feelings are just simply dead
Misaligned is all you'll be
The word is published the world will see
The voices echo in my head
as I lay her on my bed
No longer gazing at the stars
Your memories have left some scars
Fall from sky and fall from grace
Don't ever want to see your face
You are rotten to the core
Your soul is far worse than any whore
A galaxy of endless night
The stars some dead no longer bright
A shooting star blitzes by
Falls further from the sky
Falling, tumbling, hurtling down
Blinking, thinking of this clown
Gas, dust, dark matter
Like fools who bleat with endless chatter
If we had the brilliance of stars,
we wouldn't be joyless beings.
We'll ask the somber moon to tell us tales,
and forever under her charm, we'll be listening...
explaining that existence is an exhilarating feeling;
only the unlearned can't understand where it ends.
Surely, the scientists figured out its beginnings
with mere notions that many are rejecting.
Can we ever be
the stars of a beautiful
constellation and be grand?
Yes, earthlings seek worlds
that stir their curious mind
and their adventurous soul!

Dance with me on the dark side on the moon,
our exquisite moon eclipse shall see us shine-
You'll be my everlasting constellation, sweetheart,
for I am your eternity, and forever you are mine.

bright stars
close but afar
distinct in the winter sky
'the hunter' chases his night prey
as couples roll on sand.

I want you to block out the moon,
And soar through the evening sky,
As you knit with me like a loom,
Suckling my essence,
'Til I am dry.
Break open my earth in lust,
While bearing down on my hips,
Incarnating my firm sex so deep,
Should my loving root,
Caress your moist lips.
Your passionate soul shall weep,
Flooding plains like genesis within,
Together tonight as we eclipse,
You become,
My constellation.
(C)2014 PJ Bayliss
With the appeal of a gorgeous nymph covered in white snow
The fairest and purest of the land that anyone had known
Soft and gentle sending signals of her kindness
Eyes like a sparkling pool of love curing the blindness
Her beauty took presence to the envious eye of the dragons
Her solitude made the townspeople flip over their wagons
Capturing the hearts of princes intrigued by her mystery
Serving was her passion, her duty her history
To her the ground was her temple
The ocean was her attire
The breeze was her nourishment
The wilder bees,
her acquaintances.
One drop of poison would tarnish her inimitable virtues and qualities
Leaving her footprints imprinted in the hearts of many
