Opaque opal white Moon showing pallid face at noon.
Nascent crescent descent Moon peeps at dusk reflecting reveries
Maroon Half-Moon rises arousing ripples of romance
Clouds at platoon trying to put astral veil of mist.
Giant gorgeous gibbous Moon glazes to enrapture night.
Abloom Full Moon in spoon full charm makes lovers lunatic.
Couple may be hypnotized in gaudy glare.
In respective orbital path on certain Full Moon Night,
Sun-Moon in- between Earth, come in a line just right.
Sun -Moon- Earth paired all together in perfect alignment,
Lunar Eclipse will occur :
Technical term 'SYZGY' has been set.
Under thinner -most shadow of Earth, if Moon slips,
Eclipse is known to be Pen Umbral,
If partially shadowed, it's Partial Eclipse.
Fully shadowed Eclipse is Total.
Total Lunar Eclipse now being called Blood Moon
as the Eclipsed Moon is not dark or dull losing glamour,
but exhibits rusty red hue glow looking boon.
Sun spectrum through atmosphere displays reddish colour.
Ensnared in eclipse Full Moon slips through shadow of Earth
leaving behind sullen silhouette sunken in starry sky
Blue Blood Moon in scarlet glow winks in frolic flare to mesmerize.
Full Moon closest to Fall is termed ‘Harvest Moon’
That’s the seasonal time to harvest.
Next Full Moon the ‘Hunter’s Moon’ comes very soon.
To go for hunting is the best.
If the Harvest Moon shows Blood Moon at perigee,
the closest position of Moon to Earth,
One tenth larger and thirty percent brighter to see.
Spectacular ‘Super Moon’ most worth.
If consecutive four ‘Blood Moon’ appeared
Rare occasions of lunar performance !
The event is known as ‘Lunar Tetrad’.
In between eclipse to come has no chance.
Watching ‘Super Moon’ I felt lucky
Then, have I gone lunatic?
Enjoying marvelous cosmos beauty,
I feel just romantic.

another primaveral day dawning upon me
as i linger stir-crazy in the moments unfolding
in apoplectic thoughts within my mind
while watching the carelessness of others
my moue tightly tucked beneath my mask
hides my silent screams for more distance
famished it seems the world has become
beneath the burden of these bare shelves
one could feel starved of more than food
as they buckle to their knees in prayer
feeling like children to a lesser God
in this turbulence that has consumed us
we grasp the need to feel a closeness
a perigee to a fullness to fulfill the emptiness
yet we feel nothing as this greater distance remains
all we have is the hypermnesia of past moments
breaking through the darkness of mind
as we close our eyes just to see a glimmer of light
in hopes that tomorrow breaks these chains
that weigh us down in heart and mind alike

Heavenly bodies, heavenly beings;
living entities unfettered by gravity.
Spinning marbles in a universal box.
God’s favorite game,
knuckle busters are smacking planets,
right and left and the debris reforms…
new…marbles…pee-wee dust.
Cat-eyes glow as they sail apart; agate smacks!
The “Big Bang” was…
God taking his first shot.
Heavenly bodies, heavenly beings;
God makes no distinction between his children,
as we humans prefer to believe.
It’s been said that, “reality is an illusion”;
perhaps we are only marbles in the game;
like our sibling planets.
Lost in a spinning swirl of colors;
we roll blindly through life.
Puries and steelies;
clacking out cosmic crescendos.
God knuckles down and shoots;
bluesy-Earth smacks a trilite,
Mars and chips a new crater.
Another steely sends alley Jupiter,
smacking into its own moon and a whirling
Io slams grasshopper Neptune from behind.
In parallel universes, we meet ourselves;
repeating mistakes, we never win;
a hazard of being…lesser gods.
God’s game is multi-universal
and human perception,
terribly finite.
The great hand, histing;
fires…Earth gets another tour of the Milky Way.
As heavenly body-clacks resound;
all heavenly beings sustain injuries,
that will change them.
No one stays the same.
Perigee to apogee;
Earth centers herself for the next attack.
Orion and his daughters laugh and applaud,
as the last shots, miss them.
While the gibbous cheeks of dragon Sun;
Spit fire-flares in self defense.
Singed Saturn loses another precious ring.
It doesn’t matter in this game of marbles;
God plays and wins, every time;
then collects us all,
for another game.
THE SUPERMOON AND THE SEA
The crimson sun goes down slowly cold and wet
At the gripping edge of the sea in the speckled sky
The swelling waves carry overturned palette on crest
The cloud layers blush in colors, in moist air they fly.
The sky soon turns in gloom a void in shades of grey
From where permeate the gleams of the falling dusk
Disappear in the horizon making for the night the way
To creep after the twilight with elements of the dark.
On one such night in the winter standing by the sea
I see the perigee moon appear low in all its grandeur
The sparkling stars spread silver dust falling free on me
The waves churn the supermoon streaks on breakers.
The distant glimmer of the azure water deeply serene
Enters my charmed mind, takes it to sea bottom still
Drenched blue in moonshine I soak the bliss within
The soothing touch of the divine orb I instantly feel.

Moon's Perigee Affection
Under the moon of love
obscured by wisps of iridescence shroud
you will be my love tonight I think of
Illumination change as they move across lit above
Moon’s Perigee endowed and proud
among the shadows of flowers
they flicker and scatter
as it approaches the horizon crowned
along the seashores
Mysterious magical midnight blue
view Magellanic cloud woo
Pass through embodied
quiet of the night cool caressing breeze
trees bend to their knees to appease
to seek its dazzling perfection
Moon’s Perigee affection

On Saturnian nights I rise;
homing in on apogee and perigee,
my soul rises.
Free-floating energy mingles,
with crackling static;
my body feels nothing and I feel no body.
Crystalline ice in hydrogen milk,
can float my soul forever;
safe in its womb, am I.
A celestial merry-go-round;
Saturnian rings spin Saturnian dreams;
they lull me to sleep.
On Saturnian nights;
etheric body in flight greets many souls;
who’ve gone before.
A classroom of grace, it is;
a spiritual recharging station;
Saturnian nights invigorate all of my senses.
A soul in flight on a Saturnian night;
hears symphonic lessons,
in staccato verbiage.
I awaken from Saturnian dreams;
a new spirit in an old body;
with wider zest for life.
The Saturnian centrifuge,
brings much clarity.
There is nothing more breathtaking than a clear sky at night when the wonders of creation are above you.
Quote by poet.
Natures wonders are on display
But are not seen in bright of day
So venture out in dark of night
I'll guarantee you'll want to stay.
Sparkling diamonds on a clear night
A full moon too shining so bright
Meteors too streaking brightly
The night sky is an awesome sight.
Those brighter lights that you will see
Are the planets in perigee
You'll need a telescope I fear
When they're far out in apogee.
Winter's best when the skies are clear
Wrap up well keep a warm drink near
When dawn comes the show is over
The moon and stars now disappear.
I remember her quite clearly
As if only yesterday,
In my mind I loved her dearly
But she was miles and miles away.
Up there above the tree line
Where only pure beauty can go,
And no one like me could ever be
Beside her in the snow.
Where she walked with grace upon her face
As if smitten by God himself,
A living, breathing, beatific being
Needing no one like me for help.
Or meant for one so near to none
As invisibility could attain,
While she walked on air with angelic flair
And never knew my name.
Until one day it happened
After years past, by and by,
Our apogees turned to perigee
And she returned before my eyes.
Once again, out in the wind
Near those snowy mountain peaks,
And I finally found the courage to ask,
“Do you even remember me?”
And her smile turned into something
I’d never seen before,
As if stretching out in all directions
From shore to shore and more.
Her reply was, “I remember well
Those days you gazed at me,
And waited long and longer still
For you to set me free.”
“But I never dreamed,” came my response
“And never ever knew,
That a man like me could ever be
In love with a girl like you.”
And then we stood for a moment in silence
An eternity in space,
Each gazing in the other’s eyes,
Mesmerized in place.
Until we parted once again
But differently this time,
She headed toward the valley wide
And I began the snowy climb.
