Constellations Poems

the dust of constellations

The day was long and greedily waited,
in near unspoken secret - like a thing
delightfully and enchantingly wicked.

We are reunited - simpatico - my love, lover and I.
We ravish each other and lavish each other
with flattery, endearments and entire pleasure.

We live sweet centuries in those tight hours.

Happiness changes the tenor of things.
Rains of feeling combine in

Reachable Constellations

I waver at the star teeth
of my own invention,
accreting webs of wild light
where night trades
cold for dark
sidereal heat.

I am not here for mundane marvels—
I am here to manifest my most 
daring fantasies into reachable 
constellations,

grasping at the ungraspable—
drawing unfathomables to fruition.

Catching Constellations Like Fireflies

If I could 
catch the stars 
in a mason jar would 
it be enough to 
prove myself? 

I 
don't 
want 
to 
be 
here 
anymore. 

I want to be up in space 
where all of the fireflies reside. 

They
don't 
care
if 
I'm 
not 
good 
enough.

Constellations, lyrics

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Apologies for the opprobrious actions that have been brought             
For Thee, who descended from the exalted throne

MUSIC TO THE EYES

The rising and setting
Of the sun…
The waxing and waning 
Of the moon…

The orchestrated constellations
Of the beaming stars…
The staccato positionings
Of the planets…

The andante asteroids, comets,
And nebulae…
The soprano and baritone
Lighting and thunder…

All a beautiful canvasing  
Galactic symphony…
Cosmic 24-hour live stream
Music to the eyes…

Orion

These past few weeks, 
Orion’s been making his steady descent down the horizon.
This occurs yearly,
one thing you can count on through the world’s unending turbulence.
It’ll never fail to throw you from your cushioned seat 
face-first into forced adaptation
and deep discomfort.
Will there ever be a time where I can look to the horizon
without seeing the next

Ursa Major

Ursula, oh Ursula

As constellations go

Ursa Major in the sky

Forever do you glow.

Onto a world you gaze upon

Your perch upon a star

Lovingly you're watching me

A dear friend from afar.

________________________

Ursula, dear Ursula

The heavens cry out, too

For nothing in the sky

Is quite as beautiful as you.

Where quasars leap into a sea

Of nebulizing gas

And galaxies remain unformed

Waiting for you

Constellations

Ornamented sky:
Corona Borealis,
Cassiopeia,
Monoceros, Pegasus;
lightshow at eventide.

The Bridge Above The Rivers Bend

Train bypassing just over the rivers bend
Sturdiest and unpromising of bridges, carry my feet along your lumber
Steal away the time I should be an honorable member of society
Keep me as your own and offer me company as you do the passing trains

Just before the sunrise do your wood beams greet the world, before those of

The Awesome Constellations

Be an astrologer of intense curiosity, 
sit down and admire the nightly wonders
extending beyond sight and boundary;
constellations are myriads of stars!

Ah, the weak ones fall out and become comets,
crossing stellar skies, shedding sparkles of silver;
the stronger ones stay firm and don't show fear:
they have no urge to leave the glorious Heavens!

Who never dreams staring at

Map

Midnight drive in absent minded dark
Where wood poles are magnetic
Where all the cardinal directions
pull towards,
The iron inside my heart burns 
to burst from my chest
I have led all the metals 
and minerals inside of me
To someplace astray
I took a dizzying route
I ambled from star to star
To carve out
incomprehensible constellations

Constellations Jump the Moon

I’m in the moonlight 
baring my dreams to the stars; 
I hope they explode 
with the desire in my heart;
The power to turn the tide;

Such a daring feat,
holding all of my wishes;
They survive the ride;
Turmoil turns them into fire 
burning the darkest of doubts;

Silent and naked,
there’s no need to hide myself;
A crater holds me 
it’s

Dot To Dot

A dot to dot for all to see
Rotating across the world
Everyone see's it differently
Depends which way you're twirled
You can play even in slippers

I connect Orion to his belt
Trace a mighty Leo's mane
Draw Hercules with his pelt
Then I'm interrupted by a plane
Right through Hydra's flippers

Link the horns to Taurus
And Pegasus to his wings
A shell for Delphinus

I Am Chaos and Beauty

I am the mother of chaos and beauty,
       You can either love or hate me.
       I behold the mythology of the Greek gods,
       The book of Folktales you been told.

      I am

Telling Time At Midnight

Telling Time at Midnight
David J Walker

reclaiming night bright elevations
rearranging parked stars 
in distant constellations 

i am dumbstruck	
		gazing up

at the answers to questions 
			we have yet to ask

the clock tower pinnacle 
points to the heavens 

Striking each chime			
on time

and lingers at midnight
hidden from
 the morning sun 
calling
revolving
		dissolving 
before the dawn
