‘Oh Lord above accept this man
Whose terrestrial life unplanned
Succumb to those of wrongful hands
At last ease upon the dying.’

human interest in the unknown
extra-terrestrial creatures
from a faraway galaxy
who display long faces
and come in search of
humans to experiment on
probing and prodding
to see how we tick


Sanseki

Once jailed and bailed
Virtually mental saw scaled
Angry aggressive and hyper
The crotalinae hypnotic striker
Cold blooded terrestrial Sanseki
Whitish echis carinatus sochureki...
Life is a game with snakes on every level..

I
vow
to you
this day forth
my full devotion
my heart belongs to only you
our souls meshed beyond terrestrial promises
these exchanged rings symbolizing our mortal union and consecrated destiny

SPACE AND TIME

the distance real far
light years away far from me
galaxies moons and suns

radiations  rays
life inorganic and stain
terrestrial  dew

rainbow shine so bright
morning, noon, evening night rain
galaxies near in site

Premium Member Terrestrial Truth -

Do men immortal know
whence went the crow,
on it's jubilant journey to bestow
the rod,the wreath, and mistletoe,

for below,
in the shadow of the pyramid
I crossed the river of Life,
my God as thy wife
my fear as my strife,

for I saw in the sun,
that Life itself is pitiless perfection -

Seeds From Space

Shards of glass
riddled with ambiance
radiating through the ages
shape-shifting the speed of sound;
the effects upon eardrums produce
extra terrestrial qualities
between distances
a gravitational pull whines
retreat with honor

Galactic Emotion

 
Is this feeling galactic?
Or simply lactic?
Your presence is celestial
These emotions, extra terrestrial
This feeling is inexplicable
Ignoring it would be despicable
You are my brightest star
I can't imagine you far
for you are the center of my universe
And in my love you shall submerse

Premium Member Extra Terrestrial Doll

When I was a child, I had a stuffed E.T. doll
Everything I did, he too would do it all

He was my constant companion
To the openess skies and the deepest canyons

I never did outgrow my best friend
Though his tattered arms and legs would join his end

I only wish I had him back
To quell my often anxiety attacks

We Have To Leave Someday

We will leave
any day, today, tomorrow
later... With sun, or rain... ALL can  late,
but it doesn't fail...
We can't stop the yes,
of destiny...
we can't stop
the sign of certainty...
no human strength
or extra terrestrial!
But on the other side
there will always be a friendly hand
to  assist us
in the other world...!

Premium Member As Time Passes

As Time Passes 

Today a swift breath
of wind slapped my cheeks
leaving a tingling chill.

The sky’s face grew gloomy
shedding crocodile tears
falling like water rocks.

Dormant by passing time
flower buds and seeds
sought storage shelters
in terrestrial cabins.

Powerless
we sit by the window
contemplating the new arrival.

Choice

You, yet unborn, to a faith you belong
For the seed has a religion
And its temple is the womb

In death again, to a faith you return
Your lifeless body buried by your creed or burned
For death rites follow prescribed religion

But in life, you have a choice
Living life, guided by that inner voice
Of the god within: your conscience, guardian of terrestrial laws

Terrestrial Journals Vi

Obsequies final taste; within this secession from a lamentatives covenant....

I took this pomegranate tree and I crushed it to, make myself a natives chalice of wine

Still, it remained bitter upon my tongue so, I spit it into the turning paean sea!?

Premium Member Brazen Glory

Your dazzling light 
Kept shining brightly
Absorbing all the terrestrial grace
Roundabout you
Adorning your grace
As a crown 
Placed by heaven itself
here you stood    
Towering high amidst the scarlet meadows
Mocking the modern beauties 
With the woven silks of ancient sages
Brazen trails with colourful glory
Ye sat majestically 
Clad in glorious wonders

Premium Member City of Holographic Ants

two-legged ants dart
around & through
a holographic city
overcome by
  an illusion of order
overwhelmed by
  a terrestrial constellation 
  under cacophonous con(de)struction

six-legged ants dutifully
transport breadcrumbs to tiny 
chasms in the mottled dirt
where cool dark silence 
briefly mollifies
  a holographic planet
  under careless (de)construction

The Forgotten Spaceman

Lunar eclipse plunges me in shadow.
Orbital, I spin in the dark.
Nebulas, I am insignificant amongst many,
Extra-terrestrial, alone and apart.
Limbic, I drift with creation.
Interstellar, I reunite with my past.
Neutron stars, immense galaxy dustbins,
Eat planets while I watch, aghast.
Severance, I have never felt so keenly,
Screaming, cart-wheeling, into the dark.

I Believe In Alien Love

Strange;
so becoming,
so scary.
Sparkling stars,
so one streaked,
soared down from the sky.

On that one star,
on board, you.
Open arms,
odd.

Alien love,
as strange as it seems.
And as autumn fell,
auburn amongst others,
alien love
we fell in.

Twisted,
terrifying,
terrestrial, extra.
Two of us,
together.
Tired,
Tied.

Forever,
fighting,
freeing.
