Best Solar Poems
a soul orbits
looking into space
searching beyond
staring at
an orange full
cold moon
rising peacefully
into the sea of tranquility
floating air labored
softly gasping for breath
exploding stars
lights up
the sky
wrath of the sun's light
bombards this earth
explosive fireworks
pulsing inside
emotions erupt
bursting solar colours
feelings flare beautifully
flashing the beginning
of a strong orbiting cycle
magnetic crochet
strongly pulls
gently sewing together
embraces warm rays
kisses sweetly
with her soft fingers
weaving love deeply
blissfully into
one's heart

Under the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.
The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence
To the grandeur to which we all belong.
This spectacle, this dance of light and shadow,
Where the day is night and the sun is dark,
Unveils the universe’s unfathomable mystery,
A reminder of our fleeting passage
In the boundless march of time.
As the corona flares,
A crown of light, ethereal and untouchable,
Encircles the shadowed moon—
A garnered glimpse into the sun’s hidden majesty.
In this moment, we are but specks,
Yet infinitely connected to the cosmic ballet.
This eclipse, eagerly awaited, a miracle witnessed,
Serves not just as a meeting of celestial bodies,
But as a bridge across the void,
Linking heart to heart, soul to soul,
To the very essence of existence itself.
In awe, we stand,
Observers of the universe’s embrace,
Witnesses to the endless dance
Of light and shadow,
Of time and space,
And the quiet, enduring marvel
That is life, in its myriad forms and fleeting beauty.

Across the sky the Sun could see
The Moon approach, with nervous glee
A longtime coming, an empirical fact
Ninety-Nine years to be exact
The Sun stood ready, her corona ablaze
Moments away from a stellar phase
Not a crescent or harvest or even a full
She wondered about gravitational pull
Now almost upon her, the Moon had a smile
“Hello old friend, It’s been a while.
I’m just passing through” His face was blotching
“Let’s make it quick, the world is watching”
Halfway through his celestial arc
A slow approach as the sky went dark
He braced himself and pursed his lips
And just like that came the solar eclipse!

Rhyme
Prince Sun summons lovingly his beautiful wife,
The princess who’s always shining at night in full, quarter or half;
Oh, my darling where have you been?
I’ve been to the park to watch the lovers’ kissing scene.
Where is Jupiter our beloved eldest son?
I’ve been busy shining all day long, I hope he’s around;
My love, he has just arrived and he’s big enough,
He can take care of himself especially at times get rough.
Here’s our daughter Saturn coming in,
She has grown into a pretty lady wearing her elegant ring;
Please remind her sometimes to focus on her dreams,
She might have fallen in love with an alien’s son that beams.
The Prince Sun makes a lovely role-call to everyone,
While his Solar Princess sits beside him wearing her luminous crown;
Uranus, Neptune, Mars and Earth saunter to their father
While youngest Venus and Mercury run quickly to their mother.
The Solar Family has finally reunited as one,
Children hold hand- in-hand… going round and round;
They merrily sing with joyful spirit of unity,
To exhibit a magnificent view in their residential galaxy.

MINDFUL OF SOLAR ECLIPSE
He’s coming with his dark glasses
and dizzying smile
He’s stopping by for a minute or two
a minuet of manic joy
He covers the sun with his steady hand
she tingles with trepidation
Will she be blotted out from his employ
she wipes off sweat as he passes by
Merely a warning of end times
dark days of deepened sin
We watch with amusement
arm in arm on love boats
Standing in main line parks
finding the perfect spot
Would we find the perfect standing of our heart
a bond with the patient perfect God
When the cross covered the earth in darkness
men of old took note
When the stone rolled away from the sun
the eclipse was eradicated
Emblematic pain or joy of your soul
gaze up with future foretold

Couplet
Blanketed in crimson, Mars glows with fire,
while Venus sparkles with deep medallion-
The twilit moon shining in fierce desire,
each planet aligns into a stallion.
Jupiter is the largest sphered planet,
it acts as a strong mirrored reflection-
Pluto’s surface is rough like harsh granite,
the sun and Neptune make a connection.
Our home galaxy is the Milky Way,
containing two hundred billion bright stars-
The comet soars like a keen castaway,
bringing stunning life to earth from afar.
The pure wonder of the solar system,
brings phenomenal wonder and wisdom.

Solar Plexus ( Sun of The Soul )
Tiphereth
Centre she holds the light
Connection to description
Concentration of all the names
Of beauty
Filtered from out pouring skies
Entrusted to perception
Before these provoking eyes
Solar Plexus
Third state consciousness
Her Aeon vibration
Calling
Proposition to ignite
The sleeping Chakra heart
Sol sustaining
The augury of hope
She proliferates
Never and forever
Changing
The coloured combination's
Of living
Goddess of all she is
And without
No acuity to perceive
The idylls
Of these convoluted explanations
Of existence
Of awareness
Face of creation
She is
All life’s attractions
To her radiance and adamantine warmth
Exists
Beacon she is
Living cell of solar system
Embodies Galactic entity
And what unknown umbilical
Resounds to this magnitude
Of the ever eternal point
Centered
Touches this Galaxy of stars
Space Universal
Extends
Extends a phantom finger
Through the vast and the void veils
Extends a phantom finger
And somehow
Writes
And reads
These
Words
Inspired by Christie Moses “ Soul of The Sun “

A full total solar eclipse occurred on July 2, 2019,
In only Chile and Argentina.
I was informed about it and told my scoffing, daughter dear:
"There is something destructive that will result from this, I fear. "
Surely, enough it did, in the Mojave Desert on July 4, 2019
with such great puissance!
People hurriedly fell to their knees in fear,
asking God for His help and Divine Guidance.
The moon and sun, such powerful bodies!
Effect the firmament and all waters.
Who knows all the happenstances that the sun and moon alter?

Streaked across the astral sky
a cosmic snowball friend
off to points unknown
in space and time
and time again,
a smile imprinted
on my mind,
though sometimes..
your long dusty ion tail
makes me sneeze
meek's deep solar wind
left a bright arching trail
and in its fading beauty
an aching learned
so well,
life and love are fleeting..

Abandoned Yellow Star,
Existential apostle.
Solar flares haunt outworlds, "I'm It, you're not."
Mercury, Mary's star loved from afar.
Hot but not the hottest star.
A tiny lifeless star.
Venus will have more sunlight in her hair.
Acid clouds, corrosive ground.
A great task, you won't last.
Mars, Ray Bradbury's & Poe's summer home.
Famed Martian golf balls canals.
Mountain Mons view Earthsets.
Jupiter planet King.
Juno caught clouds aided by sprites and elves.
It passes gas, no solids.
Saturn, Trump's hide-a-way post Mar-La-Go
Eyes like Godiva's, you'll see.
Ocean moon, life likely.
Uranus ... home planet of many Ex's.
Twenty years long each season.
Tad colder than Neptune.
Neptune ice-cold Hunter.
1300 mph.
One hundred sixty-five years per Biden.
Pluto is a dwarf planet, not full-sized.
Other planets ... still too close.
Latter cause for exile.

Celestial Play
In daylight hours when stars fall sleep,
They opened wide eyes to see celestial wonder –
The sun and moon at play
Racing across their blue playground in hide and seek –
A game of tag –
Leaving trails of laughter
For earthbound eyes,
Invited audience,
To revel in by covering their brilliant splendor
With receding light to total darkness,
Daystar encircled with a golden crown,
Then lifting shadows,
Playfully returning light again
To upturned smiles –
Suspended breath –
Captured by their mischievous spirit
As hearts of every language hold hands,
Clearly understanding
The song of unity inviting
Spirits of anticipation rise
Into Heaven’s clear vision of the magical and miraculous
Never abandoned,
Or eclipsed,
But following breathless the playmates,
Passing,
Now separating at the end of their game
While a memory replays for eternity,
Imprinted in the drowsy stars of a morning sky.

I am looking for myself in the center
of my own solar system
The thoughts just drifts with the wind
The senses are united with the truth
Life forms my heart
Childhood memories in my soul
wonderful happiness
Blue as the sky
and as a coral sea
How the ocean reflects sunset colors game
The night may let me in
in a world where the stars play
I can not explain it
but it warms me
and makes me whole
