Best Milky Way 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...

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...

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...

Trying so hard to sleep
hours past dusk
in darkness I lie in my bed.

I am being nudged by words and words
dancing and teaming up in my head.

I fight, I toss and turn, they win
I must get up and say what must be said.

I go outside to...

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...

Beyond Milky Way
another galaxy waits....
an invitation

heavenly new path
leading to purple pleasure....
we will be alien

Let’s Slide Down the Milky Way

I slid down the Milky Way 
Through billowing clouds and twinkling stars 
Played with moonbeams in a galaxy so far away 
What do you have to say?

 
Let me tell you about that night 
The joy of my flight 
Do...

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...
