Long Perigee Poems

Am I seeing the moon for the first time tonight?  The universe stretches out beyond my fragile soul.  I will go inside myself, this perigee moon illuminates me. I dredge the murky residue...

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...

Rosy rains still keep dapping on me, rippling into me, trickling in me  
My sentiment and sentimentality set into sediment like descending haze
Settled, stagnated, then crystalized into concrete and constant gaze

lonely as a dried up hero
legend only to the past,
as a world moved on
from foolish children’s faith,
energy of generations
arrives at perigee,
blown out like flatulence
snuck into polite conversations,
snide groupthink on
a notion of good sport
and fair play,
while...

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,...

as i linger stir-crazy in the moments unfolding

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...

When tangled hope yields to the sadness,
That sweeps like madness in a perigee tide 
My soul silently abandons redress

Steady sun sings struggles of my weakness
Its rays chide that the light cannot abide
When tangled hope yields...

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...

How sad the prophets must be
Songs, talks and wars about the mystery
While sitting quietly meditating on the Bodhi Tree
Or walking on the ancient waters of Galilee
And Gabriel finding Mohamed leaving God's messages daily
Prophets all —...

Flight by Terence Cummings-Smith,
I ride the path ballistic,
        in a screaming, scorching arc.
From perigee in flaming hell
        to apogee far beyond...
