Best Milky Poems

Each night I peruse the sky
Tilt my head way up high
Count the stars here and nigh
As if secrets to demystify
My heart it seeks to pacify

I search beyond each constellation
When sense in my heart primal agitation
And my pulse beats with acceleration
Because it’s there, the object of...

Upon a beach of silken sand,
neath nighttime's wondrous skies
Stars aglow of heavens hand,
soft moon beams fill your eyes

With gentle seas awash the shore,
the scent of ocean wind
A shooting star our smiles explore,
as dreams once more begin

Now glistening on waters blue,
a hypnotizing light
Illuminates this love so...

Then:


Desire enveloped us,
stoking fierce passions,
beneath a milky moon,

your abandoned kisses,
left me breathless,
under a starlit sky,

love silenced our nights,
a serene peace settling,
filling empty desolation,

at rest at long last,
your presence my final abode,
each caress rich with hope. 


Now:


your absence is felt,
each day, every night,
throttling my dreams,

crawling inside...

At night the sky 
Becomes an entire new world 
To the human eye

The moon 
Sometimes as round as a soccer ball 
Appears as it begins to get dark

A million tiny bright lights
Called stars 
Appear like specks of dust 
Out of nowhere 

And soon I am...

Mysterious, vast collection of stars
Intriguing your curiosity, no more than a marvelous band of light
Lighting up the inky sky of the night
Killing smaller galaxies, colliding into them and tearing them apart
Years grouped in billions go by as stars die and new ones are born

Whizzing around...

My pet black cat looks so fat,
He's always drinking milk,
He says he only drinks so much,
To make his hair shine like silk,
Personally I think he's fibbing,
I think he's just a greedy cat,
If he'd only reduce his intake,
He'd still look shiny, but not so fat....

In years gone by before the web
we had an advert on TV
it featured the milky bar kid
his slogan was 'milky bars are on me'

This kid just loved chocolate
but especially the white kind
they were so smooth and creamy
bringing a relaxed state of mind

Nowadays you get variety...

the milky Way

As the moon waxed gibbous
over imitating ponds and lakes,
the night sky’s pearly necklace,
of milk which no thirst will slake - 
draws a line of human history - 
intrigue leading to discovery, 
a depth to be plumbed,
as the human mind pondered
and thought – deduced!
and...

Without a telescope Galileo Galilei could have not
discovered all of Jupiter's dwarf moons orbiting around it; 
don't we breathlessly behold the different colors of lovely Venus?
Mars, Pluto, Moon and Jupiter are unbelievably stupendous!  
Amazing is the Milk Way's position in its celestial boundary,
we know...

Look up into the Milky Way 
Streaming down the sky to the bay 
Connected by sea to Skara Brae. 
Do those ruins contain some clay? 
On that faraway land, are there any dogs stray? 
If I go there, will a beautiful girl be coming, 
Serving...

Now I’m ninety solar masses and I grow as I accrete
all the inter-stellar gasses near my neighbors when we meet.
My doctor says I’ve grown too fat too fast, “… it’s unsustainable!”
But I’ve big plans for a big blast that I know is attainable:

I’ll do the...

When you are alone you are all your own. ~Leonardo da Vinci

the Milky Way that rises like a sea fret 
forging a way amongst the infinite stars 
draws inspiration from the souls gone before 

alone 
I’m my own master 
to thy  
I will soon...
