Music of the Universe

The Integrity travels a quarter million miles, 
The farthest point humankind has now reached;
A flight path record in decades will sing,
When it launched at the dusk of April first.

In the night when the countdown hits zero,
At Kennedy Space Center, the rocket fires its intro;
Tearing Orion into the deep dark,
As four souls leave their only known planet.

That moment the engines strum one last time,
The ship slips from Earth's grip and sight;
Watching the sphere shrink in the window frame,
Till it's just a marbled blue note of light.

Sensing the shift of the Moon's pull,
That takes over the rhyme and symphony;
The astronauts look back at their homeland,
Hearing from Earth again is a melody.

On the far side of the Moon, 
They are in total radio silence —
Just them and the stars, with the Moon between them
And the pull of a cosmos beyond human sense.

At thirty times the speed of sound, Orion hits the atmosphere,
Orange and white flowers slow the song down;
The crackling, fiery heat plays its chord,
Treble clef curve makes splashdown safe and sound..

Premium Member Round Trip

Stepping away from home base
Specs of me left behind as a trace 
Missing my crew before I even depart 
Hard to not feel a crack in my heart 
 
Wheels up as whisked into the sky
Tears of joy welling up in my eyes 
As I remember the connection isn't lost
Since we are linked together at any cost 
 
Airplane ascends as I slice off slivers of my heart 
Scattering them through the sky to do my part
Their flight path doesn’t need a map 
Calmly cascading before landing in your lap 
 
The next step flips upside down my frown
Love from home is lifted up from the ground
Careening through the clouds without a sound
Sealing up the shortage from what I sent down

Premium Member Sunrise doesn't wait for me

Sunrise doesn’t wait for me
No alarms alert me
Outbound flights from Logan
Rumble in a rush to leave
I mumble as we are
In the travelers flight path

Old, taped, and formed
My slippers await
I do my Tim Conway shuffle
To the loo
Breathe a sigh of relief
Order from the Keurig barista

Not much changes
The old couch
Etched with my imprint
An amber tinged coffee cup
With a “PAPA” logo sits
On a “permanent” foldable table

I shall wait for sunset
Disappear within its shadowy exit
Wander its fading trails of memory
Close my eyes and wait
                                      …For my morning flight

Premium Member Burning Flesh Part 1

Things begin turning around and very 
slowly they take a nasty foreboding twist
as Hell's Dragon has not breathed yet 
a deep burning fire melting red his eyes
dripping blood upon fury and destruction
pumping inside the uncontrollable fire 
equal to that of a thousand steamboats 
and only he sleeps in the dark dungeons.

Chained and suffering in utter Hellfire
chained in untold torment and anguish 
unleashed he would burn your heart no less
in a flash—while scorching all to nothingness 
fried black from the deepest ashes falling
cold silently sleeping with wings on fire and
chained to love’s weakness as the dark fables say:
Do Not Call Upon This Beast—He’s The Devil’s Own.

Hell’s Dragon stirs inside with tongues of flames
lashing with the pains of hate to strike all now
leaving hottest cinders and funeral pyres a plenty
it’s now the Devil’s very moment to unleash His Evil, 
His Demon Dragon upon the saintly and the pure
and the precious doing their good works and all
and unsuspecting of the malevolence awaiting them.  
  
The Devil enters afresh the earthly plane once more and
releases His Dragon to inflict harm and to upset
God’s celestial equation of peace, harmony, and light—
bringing death, destruction, and retribution to all in
its flight path while breathing out the harshest and
cruelest and hottest flames of fiery perfidy in the 
name of Lucifer—Himself laughing boisterously at God
all the while not knowing the coming angelic answer.

The Almighty Lord works indeed in the most mysterious 
of ways and He will not let his Fallen Angel Lucifer (or 
“The Devil” on Earth) have His way by murdering 
innocents through His Dragon proxy only too willing to
serve His Master to bring horrible hideous death to all
of mankind who fall within its flight path and intention
to inflict the most treacherous and dastardly plan of
of unmitigated death and horror ever to be unleashed.

Icebergs Dancing

Freshwater ice, compressed, 
breaks off, with tremulous lights
and shakes
and rotates
in intricate snowflakes
like wings,  of ice crystals

then floats away, in the open Ocean

and she's tracing his steps, leaving white dust
like crushed shells
as she walks , gracefully, as if on
Japanese Okobo

They were attached, as if by circuits of frozen stems
with lacings , of smaller molecules
its microscopic
and its perfect

her ribs split open, and a mosaic of musical strings
reveal,  what looks like melting precious silver
and her face, is draped in a mass
of webs, upon webs

she looks at him, through the haze
he's the parchment Worlds were written on
now a sychronized flight path,  he illuminates
all the crowd of beams
of celestrial,  night skies 

and there, white noise combines
in steady, different frequencies
with excact, united, intensity
heard and seen, by only a few

is it choregraphed ?

Premium Member Inside Outside Inside

What worth am I

in all this madness
what worth are you
in the depths 
of all this sadness

there, 
see the flight path 
to elevation 
inside the feels; 

inside the fields
of darkness 
spring wells of 
orbs popping light

the half-stride
of trying phantoms
planting seeds, 
half-baked poetry

running 
through the veins 
the golden fields 
of darkness

minutiae sleeping 
with Morpheus
under the velvet blankets
of Elysium 

terra firma robes 
overly well worn 
divested now 
in waking

kissing the farewell
to be received blessed,
annointed in the essence 
of the uncommon 

there, 
the busy minded, 
the unnaturally gifted -
The Poets ...

call you,
see -
the flight path 
to elevation 

inside the outside inside -

or, called back outside, 
there you remain, 
forever fixated
on cracking the inside 

the hoax planted 
in a dybbuk box 
unfounded 
unworthy demon 

sunken 
treasure
buried forever
grounded

hear them all, see,
inside the common feels,
the uncommon Poets 
call you

see,
the flight path 
to elevation 
reaching 

inside the outside inside

Wild Are the Boys of Dune

Partnered with the light is ever darkness
Where wild boys of dune collect themselves
In chariots of steel inside the mind
Cocooned from what once was but now is gone

They ride clear off the edge of night
Rising to the sun by lost horizons
With music loud.  With silence all about
 
Cliffs are less forgiving in the clouds
Off they go into the fall of men
Leaving only dust behind as a reminder
Of a place they might have found back then

Is that Icarus or Daedalus up ahead
In wings and wax still melting in the sun?
Is there a flight path to heaven less conspicuous?

Partnered with the light is ever darkness
Where wild are the boys of dune inside
Riding chariots of steel inside the mind
Where sand inside the shoes is an illusion
Drifting higher to the mounds of silence 
Into horizons once described, are done

Premium Member Destiny Angel

Let's get this out front 
I think I'm in love
With an angel who flies 
In the sky high above

My protector, she guides
Or calls down when required
When the future gets tangled
Or perception gets mired

In the thicket of doubt
With it's grey spikey temptress
Angel gently release me;
From unnecessary distress 

For my wandering life
Or my future, corrupted
With a laser like focus
Evil plans you've disrupted

Those mysterious voices
With felonious intent
Propaganda or fear
On distraction are bent

A dangerous flight-path 
Is neutralised quickly 
You're healing my heart
When it's troubled or sickly 

Destiny Angel -
Here's my heart, you can keep it
I rely on your power to discern
As you see fit

Let me trust in the future
In you, I believe
As high in the heavens
You dance and you weave 

A light laden tapestry
An angelic balm
Such heavenly presence
Of colour and calm 

Oh restorative angel
You release me from fear
With a gentle persuasion
And your fore-sight so clear

As I wander unfettered
Through this life; go before me
My affection is clear, yet
Can I trust you'll adore me?

Hop onboard the overthinker

Hop onboard overthinkers

A warm Welcome aboard the overthinker to all our guests, 
Especially Mr insomnia, and Mrs overthinker, both frequent flyers and our VIP guests
I'll be your minds captain for this flight, through awake all damn night,
And then on to good mornings beaming bright resort in daylight,  
We have no nap-overs or drifting-offs scheduled this is a long-ass-haul, direct flight, 
Emergency exits are located in the right and left ear, emergency lights, 
Are located along the optic nerve in case of loss of power,
We can also deploy an emergency slide down the nostrils should we encounter, 
An emergency landing over the cerebrospinal sea,
Otherwise please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy tormenting this mind with me,
 
Dear passengers this is your captain speaking,
we are experiencing some frustration turbulence,
And some drowsiness daydreaming, 
this is Likely to continue until 4am so please remain seated, 
As our head is hitting head on, stormy pillow clouds, and alas 
A tossing and turning tornado has formed in our flight path,
Forcing us to go around the temporal lobe which will mean a delay to our arrival, 

Passengers you can now lift up your eyelids once the kettles foggy fog,
Has cleared you'll be able to see the sacred sea of coffee,  
And as we loop around the kitchen island there shines a good mornings sunrise, 

Passengers we have arrived at our destination, good morning, 
Upon the irises horizon is the sunrise dawning,
Here the local time is 5am and the current temperature is about 36 degrees,
Welcome to our new guests and a warm welcome back to our 2 VIPs, 
We hope you enjoy your stay here at the daytime resort, 
Oh don't forget to checkout our duty free thoughts 
On your way out, I've been your mind's captain
Remember time flies when you're having fun aboard this mental contraption 
So hop aboard this mind if you are to an overthinker,
