Short Light Speed Poems

pin points of light
twinkle in her eyes
can angels see light speed...

Sometimes particles
can go faster than light speed
and backwards in time....

Time's tempo like torture is slow 
Just part of a youth's ebb and flow
But later the pace 
Of each year starts to race   
As the old among us must know...

Sun; 
sizzling sentinel of the skies, 
scorcher of worlds, 
sits in splendour; 
shooting sublime shadows across the 
speckled sheet of time.

With each tick of the second hand
  the immeasurable on trial

Imagination deposed
  all parameters set free

The Poets acquitted
  the logicians suicidal

All reference and syntax
  —imploding at light speed

Dare to walk through time
And through endless space
Through Eons of travel
At quantum light speed
Electrifying!

The cellular
Response it shifts
Relative to 
Passing seconds.

Quantum time
Warping space
Eternal…

I’m one,
I’m all,

Life!

The only way to cross eternity
is in a poem

As words fly silent and words fly deep,
beyond a future heaven loaned

The light speed meteor trails forever
the verses timeless wake

Distance not measured in miles or years
—epic ballads to restate

Left in Dark Fear

Is darkness
Present only when photons are gone,
Having no form and really is nothingness?
Disappearing when a lamp is switched on,
Does it flee at light speed?
But to our dread we know it remains eternally behind
And light will always leave
Us in the dark completely blind....

Angel riding a skateboard
downslope on the highest mountain
in God's creation,
wings folded in to increase speed,
approaching the ramp at the end
the heavenly host hold their breath
as the angel reaches light speed
and jumps high enough to land
at Heaven's pearly gate.

The only way to cross eternity
  is in a poem

Distance not measured in miles or years,
 —epic ballads to intone

The light speed meteor will chase forever
  the wake of verses flown 

Where words fly silent and words fly deep,
  —beyond a future heaven loaned

In the stillness of a photograph,
I found life, moving in light speed,
Shooting the very nerve that bears
Every bit of sense that there is in me.
It has always been 
the pigments of your photograph,
That touches the sky before the sun,
The shore before the sea,
The pages before the words,
And my heart before me....

She inhales the aurora,
breath laced with frozen with light speed
Pulsar fingers stretch through cirrus gauze,
her bodice bending like solar flares.

Astronaut 
A quasar shudders behind her lips,
erupting across the event horizon.

Space folds—
she unspools like a nebula unraveling,
luminous in the underworld 
aphrodisiac of your vanilla fragrance...

Listen to poem:

A challenged star,
        At the mercy of gravity,
      And the light-speed from a distant quasar,
        A doomed calamity,
  As billions of lives are at peril, at this time
  Lest some entity grants the human race a chance,
    And stop trouble from occurring, in this lifetime,
  A case of life, a cause to be, and take a stance.

Present past and present 
  future

Holy Trinity of the here
  and now

Three words that bind all
  known creation

Defining when but never
  how

This very instant the past
  calls forward

Light speed orphaned
  on awareness’ path

Where all three join and
  walk together

To bless this moment,
—future, present, past

There must be a wall there,
electric eels scribble upon it,
and rabid are the holes
that go deep into words.

Those words wrote themselves,
they must have climbed over the wall
leaving off-white snail smears
travelling at light speed.

I am done speaking of it,
of this writing
that demands to be dug into silence,
at least
until and when
that next inexplicable moment
learns to speak for itself....

"... God's Steed..."

when God made Life

a file was sent to be Seen

and Life happens to be

faster-than-light speed

"... the best way..."

is just, the way I am

and so indeed

and in the Light to proceed

I signed my name

on a page of Time

and in one line

found God's aim

"... I'm a lime too..."

and in a sphere of perfect rhyme

We are all on

God's Mind;

"...welcome to the ride..."...

Jockeying 
for position.
Defining
pecking order.
Defining power.
Sea of 
motion.
Pushing for
control,
supremacy.
Carving out
a place for
survival.
Quagmire 
of resistance.
Humanities 
dance of
existence.
Has always 
been dog
eat dog,
survival of the
fittest.
Pace 
picking up
light speed 
change.
Brownian motion
on a 
global scale. 
Turning 
the other
cheek, 
quaint musings
of a 
simpler time!...

Man explores outer space
     with probes and rocket ships,
whilst here the human race
     ebbs from the headlong tips

of balance: wars, famine,
     waste, hunger, crime, disease, 
and his wild greed worsens
     the earth's untold crises.

Why not spend the vast wealth
     of this world for the need  
here first, then explore space
     at light-speed (once we're freed

of what destroys our race)?
If not, we'll be replaced!...

I feel like pacing all around because PoetrySoup is temporarily shut down. 

Instead I may as well write. 
Because between you and I we are going to get high as a kite. 

Just to pass the time while PoetrySoup must say night-night. My feet struggle to kick free but I really must not put up no fight. 

A little more light speed must travel.
All my quirky poems start to unravel. 


(That's as far as I made it without getting distracted)...
