For those who want to travel throughout the sparkling magic of space,
to see meteors crashing on planets,
Icy comets passing by and dead moons revolving…
Just where do you think you are now?
Whirling, and howling.
Just spins and spatters.
So chase planets in your head.
Tingles like anti-thoughts.
Eyebrow raising, gentle gasping, and nodding like brush strokes.
Or even weird pieces of paper thrashing from the words.
I have a note.
Tells her I can’t do any talking.
I chewed my hair like it was death or gum.
Chase planets in orbit.
Or write something with your hands.
for about a week
I’d like to float into outer space
wearing my pink pajamas
the ones without frill or lace
I would float in my rowboat
full of root beer and Milky Way bars
enjoying the pretty cosmos
tantalizing the stars
I AM miles away in outer space sending a message to the human race
Your wildlife is dying in fields of fire
And your ice cap is melting as the temperature gets higher
You have so much plastic that fills your sea's
And your world is being infected by a new disease
You have a problem without a doubt
And you need to act now to sort it out
You have a hole in your ozone that is getting bigger
But your leaders denied this they laugh and s
So I am sending you this message from outer space
You need to save your planet and the human race.
Your intergalactic watcher
A. LIAN...
Found my space to roller skate
Like I did when I was eight ...
Round, round and round the rink
Flashing lights of blue and pink
High above such trivial things
Skating the track of Saturn's rings,
Go, go, they can't catch me now
Once you learn, you never forget how
The music flows from far, far away
Down on Earth where records play,
The stars, they pulsate to the beat
And correspond down to my feet
Bubblegum pop and all the feels
Purple shoelaces and rubber wheels,
Rock my world, let me go back
To neon lights and skies of black
Feelin' like that long lost kid ...
Feelin' things no grownup did ...
Right foot, left foot, I got the pattern
Skating upon the rings of Saturn.
Crowns our world with clouds, green plants and waters.
Sun, moon, stars, rains and rainbows ~ its daughters
Their beams from far in one dead outer space.
Atmospheres pack airs into its vast vase.
Sparks up lights to send armies of thunders,
To shake warriors with earthly blunders,
Hills whispers to snow to fall on their laps,
Leaves dance while each cloudburst fills up their wraps.
Sun shines as gold giving lives to shadows,
that are models for the smiles ~ each night chose.
With their hearts beaming as twinkling blazes ~
which bring sleeps, dreams and nightmares in phases.
Every year, seasons pretend to be grooms,
To marry cold or heat in fine costumes ~
mariages that last just a short while,
But they still return in a bigger style.
Did you ever see a cow with a green eyebrow
Wow! Hope you sought some help
Did you ever see a llama, wearing pink pyjamas
Something more serious has developed
Did you ever see a fly with a polka dot tie
You're really need to visit a shrink
How about a turtle wearing a form fitting girdle
That would certainly make you blink
Did you ever see a bee with a sunburned knee
Should have used more suntan lotion
How about a bear with pink and green underwear
Surely that would cause a commotion
Did you ever see a spider drinking apple cider
How about a bear combing his hair
What about a kitten wearing woollen mittens
How about a horse asleep on a chair
You may think I've been smoking some funny stuff
But believe me that isn't the case
Actually I see many things that others don't see
Think I might be from outer space
It attacks our species and genus
Detect trumposaurus meanus
By its orange mane
Its mycelium brain
And its shiitake-stemmed pen!s
Going to the moon.
A noble undertaking
Rockets are in flight
Ready for lift off
Rockets engines Roaring load
Vibrant flames ignite
Rockets pierce the clouds
Stars twinkle in darkened skies
Endless wonders shine
Infinite expanse,
Stars twinkle in darkened skies,
Cosmic mysteries.
Planets in motion,
Galaxies collide and burst,
Endless wonders shine.
Astronauts explore,
Weightless, they float in vastness,
They are on the moon
black diamonds are different than white ones
They did not form inside the earth
They arrived here on asteroids
They are from outer space
register ten on the Mohs hardness scale
and deflect negativity from the wearer
Did you ever see a cow with a green eyebrow
Wow! Hope you sought some help
Did you ever see a llama, wearing pink pyjamas
Something more serious has developed
Did you ever see a fly with a polka dot tie
You're really need to visit a shrink
How about a turtle wearing a form fitting girdle
That would certainly make you blink
Did you ever see a bee with a sunburned knee
Should have used more suntan lotion
And a bear with pink and green underwear
Surely that would cause a commotion
Did you ever see a spider drinking apple cider
How about a bear combing his hair
Or how about a kitten wearing woollen mittens
Or a horse fast asleep on a chair
You may think I've been smoking funny stuff
But believe me that isn't the case
Actually I see many things that others don't
Think I might be from outer space
"I wandered lonely as a cloud"
- William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a star
Out there in the evening sky,
Seems so close, yet was so far
To another who was like I;
How can it be there was no trace
Given the vastness of outer space?
After looking high and low
And saddened by night's end,
I caught a glimpse, a silver glow
A sign did the heavens send;
And me, thinking there was no hope
And me, without a telescope.
No closer could I be to you
In a universe so outstretched,
In the depth of midnight blue
The idea of us was too far-fetched;
Still I wander about this place so vast
A little less lonely, unlike in the past.
Just knowing you are out there
Gives a poet some peace of mind,
To stop looking for one so rare
That something too hard to find;
Twinkling in a galaxy of black,
We just say hello, forth and back.
Life is diverse.
A multi-seeking mess.
The particle, the wave.
All at the same time.
The unity is the disunity.
The Big Brother black hole
At the center of it all,
Silently howling for more.
Where does it all go?
The grinding of wills.
A quiet simmer.
The tension in the laughter.
The release of joy.
The exhilaration of touch,
Skin to skin.
Planets smashing into each other.
Voices crashing,
Like tectonic plates beneath us.
The smile that wants to frown.
The joke that was never told.
Brand spanking new planets to mold.
As we watch space fold,
Dancing soul to soul,
In common cosmic reverence.
Please let me alone
My heart and my soul
Pollution is everywhere
The land the sea the food
The mind the body
The heart the soul
The words the behaviour ...
We live with pollution everyday
Boundaryless and invisible
Until to the maximum we fall sick
Until to the limit we leave
There may not be pollution in outer space
Buy there is lifeless
Maybe we have to accept our fate here
And try to adjust our bodies and mind
To live happier and longer
From now and ever since
