From a foaming, combustible plasma,
Emerged into the universe of cosmic drama.
Expanding vastly in every direction,
Creating a spectacle beyond comprehension.
Nebulas, stars, and galaxies are born.
A cosmic dance, never forlorn.
Gravity force, a constant pull,
Shape and mold the universe full.
Black holes, quasars, and pulsars too
A cosmos that is foreign and brand new.
Dark matter, mysterious and unknown,
A cosmic dance, forever shown
Time and space are intertwined.
The universe is forever defined
From the Big Bang to now,
A cosmic dance, never to bow.
So look up to the vast expanse,
And witness the cosmic dance.
A spectacle above any belief
The universe is forever in relief.

A red sun, pooling like a drop of blood,
coagulates at the edge of darkness.
And the night flows like a shadow, a flood
black as pitch, inking a seamless starkness.
A gilded moon, like a pitted gold coin,
beams in the sky as a beacon of light.
And like swarms of flashing fireflies, stars join
quasars and pulsars, twinkling in the night.
Dawn frets like a nervous actor offstage
practicing, to introduce the sun.
And as a gossamer breeze turns the page,
morning shimmers, like a web, freshly spun.
And the sun rises, a golden balloon
afloat in the air like a songbird's tune.

One Last Night of Passion
Shimmering starlight reflects on his face,
in the throes of our final fervid embrace.
Each sensual caress weakens my defenses,
and our frenzied kisses ignite my senses.
Inhaling musky perfume of ardent fire,
hearts reel from this rhythmic dance of desire.
Wantonly, we love all through the night,
entwining with beams of waning moonlight.
Riding tidal waves of breathless lovemaking,
we're intoxicated pulsars … pulsating.
Tingling, sweaty skin titillated by friction
of bodies entangled in flaming motion.
Passion Flowers laid bare on a ripened vine,
I'm his and he's mine.
But the silver moon dreams the night away,
departing with my heart at the break of day.

The manifestation of God's word,
The Big Bang created the universe,
a phantasmagorical coalescence of sparks.
Billions of galaxies swirl in the fabric of time and space
like filigree clusters set with pulsars and quasars,
their massive black holes generating cosmic rays.
Harbingers of life and death, stars define infinity;
as dark matter anchors gravity's web of threads
blurring boundaries of science and creation,
afloat in an unfathomable sea of ebony.

THE UNIVERSE
Big Bang exploded on void cosmos creating Universe in nanoseconds.
Space and Time started journey.
Nova, Supernova, Nebulae, Galaxies in misty gaseous canopy.
Quasars, Pulsars, Stars came in successive harmony.
Trivial ordinary star Sun with Solar System in vast Universe
Just comparable with a dust particle in Sahara Desert.
Tiny Earth feels shy not being salient.
Human race in trifling position amidst flora and fauna of Earth
Personal importance is ridiculous:
Where am I?

When worlds collide like wrecking cars, their moons
regress. Their heaving seas then drag the shore,
yet haul the tides that scatter sandy dunes.
Will pulsars steer towards the hidden door,
when night with lamps should guide forgotten ways
its constellations brightly ease our fear.
Our treacled hours remember long lost days
when listless oceans whisper tales too dear
then time erodes the cliff and rocky place,
where earth decays and crumbles, nothing stays,
like empty streets devoid of edifice
though lovers laugh at sweet and cherry days.
As time upon its arc still spins around,
the self's deep core forever will be found.

The twinkling stars light up the Night,
creating a magical sight.
And a rising moon starts to glow,
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in Night's ebony embrace,
Luna's light gilds the clouds below.
Visible to the naked eye,
shooting stars zip through the Night sky.
And spinning perceptively slow,
the Milky Way seems surreal;
a spiraling galactic wheel
superimposed on Night's shadow.
The twinkling stars light up the Night,
so far away, and yet still bright.
Quasars and pulsars, twirling fast,
appear to flicker as they spin.
Once these pulsating lights begin:
their true beauty is unsurpassed.
The universe is God's domain:
somethings we can't, as yet, explain.
We don't know how long it will last:
it might well expand forever.
We see no end, whatsoever:
all that we know is that it's vast.
Look up and behold the grandeur
of a jewel-encrusted sky,
swaddled in velvety velour.

I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could
Attach to it a sled.
I'd hurtle through the universe
Such things would I see,
Planets never seen before
And distant galaxies.
I could watch a super nova
Dodge pulsars cosmic rays,
And marvel at planetary rings
As I toured the milky way.
I could fly through a nebula
As on and on I sped,
Then shoot off to infinity,
Aboard my celestial sled.

THE BEGINNING
Cosmos once void, all around emptiness.
In vacuum Big Bang exploded.
Vibrant Cosmos created in nanoseconds.
Space and Time started journey.
Gaseous clouds forming stars twinkle, burn fuel
Nova, Super Nova, Nebulae, Galaxies
brightened in gaseous canopy.
Black holes, dark matter hid themselves
Quasars, Pulsars, Stars, Planets came up in succession.
Life and death of small star through Red Giant to White Dwarf.
Trivial ordinary star is Sun.
Placement of Solar System in vast Universe
comparable to a sand particle in Sahara Desert.
Tiny Earth feels shy, not being salient
Human race occupies trifling position
amidst diversity of Flora and Fauna on Mother Earth.
Personal importance is ridiculous.
Where am I?

SKY
Night dark.
Stars spark.
Blue stars
Red Mars.
Twin stars
Pulsars.
Light caught.
Just lost.
Who stole?
'Black hole.'

We savor our days clasping hand in hand.
Memorable moments, planned or unplanned,
Enrich love together as we walk this land.
Butterflies and flowers with life are swirled.
You, darling, know how to brighten my world.
Adventure is born as dreams are unfurled.
We fly away twirling amid the stars.
Then, boogie between pulsars and quasars.
Each enjoys love that is uniquely ours.
Together we rest on a crescent moon.
Amid bright stars our sweet hearts commune.
Precious moments with you make my soul swoon.

Setting sail on the solar wind,
got a good photon jet stream,
so let the star voyage begin
Trillions of light-years
on the vast cosmic sea
Navigate through fierce magnetic storms,
coast through calm nebula estuaries
Quasars,
pulsars
Music of the spheres,
symphony of the stars
Watching baroque binary partners
move in their endless elliptical dance
Asteroid shoals travel in silence
across the ever expanding expanse
Taking a cruise on a star voyage,
across oceans of stars
and gentle waves of gaseous galaxies
Time enough to take time forever ...
let the universe open up to me
all of its mysteries

Why Universe
which has stretched above us
inspired and attracted
with stars, pulsars, globules
Black Holes, dust formation
and billions galactics
much more than our dear planet
reviving, kind and painstaking
where we all born, grew and find save haven?
Why Mankind grow
in love to limitless and odds distances,
and Earth gravitation overwhelmed
gradually and invincible
by Milky Way night’s show and mysteries?
Because we’ve pulled up by greatest desire and force
Issued down from open space and cool and rough body of universe
from where we all born and originated,
risen up from dying stars ashes.
As man in mature who wanted sexual encounter
with the woman and her life bearing and beloved soul and body
and there is no existed other journey
so exiting deeply and overwhelmingly
as love and attraction by universe and woman
who loved and belong us.?

I wish I could travel through cosmic streams,
Bend fabric of spacetime. If possible, I'd marry
you here on Earth, then warp to a parallel universe.
Other dimensions, galactic locations where time
moves at different paces. Meet multiple versions of you
under different conditions and situations.
Have a talk with all of them among every planet
along the stars. Then travel alone through harsh
solar winds and pulsars, back to ours.
Back, beyond celestial haze and hues with what I
knew right from the start. That they wouldn't
have your soul or what it took to win my heart.
And even if interstellar visits with quantum physics
could never be, it doesn't take a genius to see,
that you're the perfect one for me.
