Short Magellan Poems

Magellan proves right
The world can be conquered through
Gold, guns and glory....

Magellan, with maps quite askew,
Said, "The Spice Islands? I'll sail right on through!"
He missed every port,
Then ate his own short,
"This 'discovery's' overdue!"

On such lovely mornings
I dive into you

Fingers probing
your ebony hair

Pausing along the sexy winding
curves of your ear

Winding the sacred trail
down along your shoulder

As you lie sleeping
I am Magellan

And
You are new country......

i am the man who weeps for the world
i am the man who weeps

i do not, I will not
bleed for the world
i’m not the one who bleeds

little sister, my love
do not dry your eyes on my account

i am a fleeting consolation

i have been
to the ends
of the world
i have seen
the great emptiness (it lies) 
on the other side of that horizon...

Vacuum of space surrounds his hold
as he leaves the fair Cappellan
Darkness without and bitter cold
he seeks the far Magellan
How far he travels in search of gold
wrinkles line his star tanned face
Shouting I AM the adventurer bold
no echos resound in space
Silence answers he is  alone
darkness whispers its tragedy
the tanned faced turns to bone
an endless voyage on an endless sea....

Inhaling bold
magenta skies,
Magellan tangerine winds,
lucid sunlight,
sumptuous wheat.

Divergent arms,
like a wheel,
spinning adventurous 
cords of gold.

Precarious needle
might pierce my finger,
causing me to bleed,
to curl up in a ball
and fall asleep.

I’m not afraid!
I trust Him who
~ spun each star ~
covered in
~ scarlet yarn ~

Hey Magellan
Land your ships on the shore
See what the natives have in store
Too bad
Nothing left to explore
The world's been found
Over and over
Before

Here the natives don't wield knives and swords
They're armed with computers
You're in their data store
See, they saw you coming
Before you left your shore
Just like I said, Magellan
Nothing left to explore...

Mysterious, vast collection of stars
Intriguing your curiosity, no more than a marvelous band of light
Lighting up the inky sky of the night
Killing smaller galaxies, colliding into them and tearing them apart
Years grouped in billions go by as stars die and new ones are born

Whizzing around it are the Large and Small Clouds of Magellan
And it is huge, like a giant white whirlpool of light in the ocean of darkness
Years, 3 billion before its dramatic end, colliding with the Andromeda galaxy...
