I shoot myself into the cosmos prepared for adventure
insight I find as space travel opens me up to new possibilities
I never realized how small I was until this moment
My space suit is more than comfortable, I feel loved
Nowhere is it too tight, I am amazed by the new world I find
I travel from planet to planet on my starship, feeling joy
Other feelings I have never had before, overtake me
I am an explorer, a cosmonaut, opening up to new experiences
the planets embrace my travel, welcoming me, reassuring me
Heaven is here, I can feel her, there is much positivity
Earth words are not sufficient to describe these new feelings
You cannot explain what you have never experienced
I dart in between the stars, feeling whole for the first time
Not caring if it is my last time because now, I have truly lived my life.
In
cosmic
wilderness
icy rings swirl
with frozen rock dust
in thin ribbons on flight
in solar system unique,
around the sleeping Saturn far,
as it’s leftover wandering waste,
making the breathtaking celestial rinks
where I as cosmonaut shall one day glide,
skate upon the congealed space tracks vast
in freedom of weightless milieu,
whirl charmed in galactic glow.
As the stardust swathes me
I’ll take spiral turns,
primal silence
will flood me
in false
dream.
Lonely robot wanted to make Planet V friendlier
He planted some seeds, hoping they would entice her.
The only female on the planet he had seen so far.
She was a gorgeous cosmonaut from X348 star.
Female came by and said I do not like flowers though
He was sad about it, for he had hoped to wow her so.
But I like you the cosmonaut told lonely robot guy.
She invited him on a date, and his heart leapt to the sky.
Carlos clever carnivore, courageous cosmonaut chimp
Tried twice to turn twisters, for he was an incredible imp.
Twisters tossed him toward Pluto, he went up in the air.
Whether he comes back or not, few of us gave a care.
COSMO: ASTRO
Russian Cosmonaut

Competition.
Systematically,
Periodically,
Both countries rush to win
Contest: Tough-keen.
Controversial theme
to fulfil cosmic dream
studying Solar System.
Victory to claim.
Both gives priority:
“Superiority”!
Which country to advance?
Just happenstance.

If on earth it is called Nevada
Then in space it will be Escapada
From space how the stars twinkle
And my earth’s many a dimple
Want to have zing like athlete
To fit the norms of a cosmonaut
Miles kilometres and fathom
Nautical miles I scale in ton
Light year and millennium space
Will be my weapons so ace 9
Poesy relish and poetics balm
I apply during space storm
Superseding all space norms
I excel as a sapien in form
Being a man I really deliver
When it needs any endeavour
Space for me is an object
Of spirituality and intent
May Lord equip me with all
That will be handy and extoll 10
Space is my ultimate passion to solve the mystery around it.
They say to be an artist you’re probably crazy.
They say to see in that kind of darkness you must be crazy.What they don’t know is most of us are.
How do you think I could navigate this mine field of my soul if I wasn’t!How can I ride these title waves of emotions like a Russian cosmonaut saluting my comrades as I ride these waves through my broken childhood. around every single broken heartbeat caused by another wasted words,the fine cracks shown through by the light left in my soul.As I ventured up my neurological system to the darkest recesses of my brain way in the back and at the bottom like a sock drawer without the socks.There it is,the hidden fears,afraid of rejection,creepy ass clowns, judge mental eyes as I stuttered over my words.Being alone,being a disappointment to my family,The utter panic of that sealed box being opened by the wrong people and used against me like I am being drawn and quartered for the whole world to see that yes I bleed too.So yes you have to be a little crazy to be an artist,to ride the waves to the
Abyss of darkness through the veins of your body to bleed onto paper what others don’t have the courage to say.~JAZ~
There once was a married cosmonaut
Who out in Space did what he shouldn't ought--
Kissed a pretty Mars bar
Made love to the North Star--
Sex with a slattern from Saturn he bought
The full Moon shines upon us on this Earth
Exquisite in its shape and in its girth
Lighting up the World from where ever we may be
In England, sunny Eastbourne, to Miami by the sea
Through a pair of good binoculars, I search the sky, what can that be
On a clear night with a full Moon, it’s the Sea they named Tranquility
And other Seas named Nectar, Clouds, and Showers and Serenity
As I gaze through my binoculars, skyward, into infinity
I behold a passing Spaceship landing on the Moon headfirst
I then begin to wonder and question the reality
How a traveling transient Spaceman can ever sate his thirst
For amazingly and despite those Seas, no water can be found or seen
For a dehydrated Cosmonaut to make a pot of tea named green …….

Already accepted that he is the one of his kind;
he is never going to happen again, though,
he has shed and shared too much blood
for keeping himself alive -
always on the still
I am the cosmonaut of his existence;
the explorer of his oneness
for he is the macrocosm of my blooming.
Apologies for the opprobrious actions that have been brought
For Thee, who descended from the exalted throne of Camelot
Patiently guiding and reminiscing of what has been forgot
My constituent tactics will forevermore be at naught
Ruminating and beholding rain for a garden's flowerpot
For introducing a valueless and unfruitful counter-plot
Being the barren soil, being the one who became a sunspot
Spoken before the unseen and plants encircled within earshot
The evoking morning rays of consciousness have caused some distraught
Occurred the substantial difficult admonition for one taught
Through time, traveling as a cosmonaut, change of heart, change of thought
Eons An Augenblick, please keep this seed inside the orchard’s plot

STARGAZING
Twinkling stars stare, shine and sparkle.
Star gazing causes miracle.
Astronomy or Astronaut,
Cosmology or Cosmonaut.
Simply wonderful, amazing.
All are products of star gazing.

Stargazing Contest by White Wolf
A cosmonaut called Anatoli was diagnosed with acute E.coli
When he became somewhat delirious, they thought it was Bacillus cereus
When plated out under a prism, it looked instead like Botulism
Have you all gone off your rockers, it’s a strain of Staphlycoccus
And then thrown in just as a bonus, a rumour spread of Pseudomonas
No way you nincompoops cried Hans, it’s Candida albicans.
We’re all agreed the team replied........ just after Anatoli died!
I am a spaceman,
Sailing through th wasteland,
Litter'd with plastic stars,
Bitter'd by silver dust.
I am a cosmonaut,
Swimming across th cosmic sea,
Life anchor'd by a breathing rock,
Set silent, timeless & free.
I am in a magical place,
Dreaming your beautiful face,
I have lost my way,
My will to go nowhere,
Time has gone astray,
Too high in space, too high to care.
Under starlit dome,
across the empty ocean,
I sail all alone.
