Is It Far
A tribute to "STARGAZER" by Ronnie James Dio
Where are you in the constellation
Where do we fit in the whip-chained nation
Towers of stone and flesh and bone
Can’t bring the sun from the shadow
Won’t save the sun from the shadow
And time has no meaning
As the dead are all leaving
Leaving all the living behind
Their voices echo in

Ceaseless Constellation
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

Constellation
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

Revelation of the Draco Constellation
He is lifted above the deserted wilderness as a snake
His tail is the starlight river that flows into delight
Christ bursts forth the brightest river so every pearl can return home
(Inspired by the teaching by the ancient Gnostic sect the "Peratics" that Christ opened a door to paradise through the draco constellation)

A Crown of Constellation
A crown of constellation rests upon her head.
A child born of a prophecy of catastrophes ahead.
Warmed by a dragon's breath,
Clothed by a fur of death,
Dancing among tragedies, disgracing the swans.
She never tangles the thread of her pawns.
She, to death, is an ally of peace,
To life, an irritating tease.
Falls into my arms in a gleeful way.
The

Backwards Question Mark
I told them, my back against the wooden
dock, staring, eyes wide in the lack of light.
If aliens came for me, I told them,
I would pick up and gladly go tonight.
Above us was that vast inviting sky.
Around us, the sweatshirt-and-flip-flops of
late spring, we searched for constellations. High
above us we found Leo. How I love
the idea

Priscilla Was Born Under a Lucky Constellation
Priscilla was born under a lucky constellation
Without a single bit of consternation
Born under a lucky constellation
The entire town was in celebration
We were excited, filled with excited jubilation.
A lovely couple – Wilbur and Winnie Thyme.
They had patiently waited a long time
To get the ultimate gift, a baby girl.
She was adorable too with one gentle curl.
They had

Dear Qeemti
You need a dark sky
to gather your constellation
and I can see
every twinkle of it
in your eyes when
the crescent moon
takes shape in your face.
Yet I feel your hesitation;
Unsure about whether or not I'm
Just an inimical cloud
that pours ache to your heart.

Constellation Constance
Constellation Constance was a cat with a curious roar,
She glowed with star gazer love and light forevermore
We were in awe of her, for she was mystical and more.
From another planet, she landed one night at our front door.
We tried to take her in, but she was an outdoor cat of the night.
She wanted to

Long Distance Relationship
Though we're under the same canopy of the sky,
but parted by long distance.
I can feel, but can't touch thy.
I had tried to send you my love
by a floating cloud.
But air scattered it all around.
Now I am taking the help of the constellation of the night sky.
They will deliver you, my love,
covering it with a glittery

The Paranoia of My Constellation
I ain't a clairvoyant
Instead quite paranoid
You know silence these days has become everyone's favorite!
Maybe life seasons our every move with interesting characters and memories that we hold onto even after death!
When you read the above lines I'm sure it felt off track as if someone was randomly aiming the arrow to get a perfect
