VERSE 1
You were the only one
Whom I wanted
For a long time
In my dreams at night
I said hello
Not goodbye
I followed your steps
I was your shadow
Did you feel me?
I wanted to have you
Desperately
Only for me
chorus
Only for me
Only for me
Only only only
VERSE 2
You were so close
But far like a star
I couldn’t reach you
You lit everything
You lit everyone
You did what you knew
And I was a moon
My love was so blue
Did you feel it?
I stayed in your view
Silent, but still true
Only for you
Chorus
Only for you
Only for you
Only only only
A whisper whines from the dark velvet night
Where swarms of swirling stardust start to gleam,
The cosmos exhales a carefree delight,
A silvered, spongy, spun-out, silent dream.
Each tiny spark seems a memory old,
Of suns that burned and turned to cosmic grace,
A story from the sky meant to unfold,
Reflected in the distant empty space.
A honeyed melody the darkness weaves,
The cosmic serenade begins to swell,
Amidst the silent silver sleeping leaves,
A sacred secret that the heavens tell.
The grey expanse up high begins to hum,
A soft, sweet solo felt within the soul,
For moments lost that surely soon won`t come,
Beyond the world's known, possible control.
My heart is tuned to the sweet stellar song,
A gentle wave across the boundless blue,
Where perhaps in the past I`ve long belonged,
Now laid aground beneath the boundless view.
This cosmic serenade of tiny grains,
A soft melodious song in the air,
Washes away everywhere earthly pains,
Pervading each soul with a better flair.
First light.
The resident blackbird
is out early claiming his territory
with song and the stuttering
dance he performs
along the back fence.
I begin to claim mine,
that space inside me
I try to map with words,
the stuttering dance of a pen
across a white silence.
I am never sure
where my territory begins
or ends and have learnt
to listen to the quiet,
remain still before
a greater stillness.
Quite often I hold
a blank white page
to my heart hoping
it will print something.
One day it will.
My name is etched
On Insight Lander
On Martian soil
It waits for me
To be where gravity is low
So be careful where you go
Mars’ atmosphere has little air
So beware
My name’s still etched
On Insight Lander
Along with miliions
Who like me dream
If we can get to you
Insight Lander
Your solar panels
We’ll surely clean
Ceaseless revolution.
Purest chant.
Energy of the cosmos.
Power of concentration.
Essence of ultimate reality.
Journey, direction and progress.
Harmony and togetherness.
Confidence and determination.
Growth, change, evolution.
Creativity and wisdom.
Ego to enlightenment.
Evolution and surrender.
A Change which is bound to happen.
Spiral is the essence of life.

When songs rise
on the crests of the waves
we will rally our forces
prepare for joy
Music drifts in with the
tide
and brings delight in its wake
Can you imagine a world
without song?
What a barren desert
that would be!
So we'll surf the
waves of sound
Celebrate our days
by lifting our voices
joining in the celestial chorus
sing music of the spheres
The sound will resound
through the depths of space to the
outer planets
The tide is rolling in
So too, our time is coming
Group of stars, gas, and dust like astronomers would see with a telescope. It's held together by gravity which introduces galaxy. Scientists stress their mind while mediating the question what's the difference between comets and asteroids. Approximately, their are numerous answers to research like if a comet has a long tail, smaller in size, a rocky surface, or a irregular shape. The correct answer would be the difference of size the comets differs from asteroids.

Lay!
Bare bones,
stew'd in smoke of eye--
sun man,
send no buzzards unto me;
the canyon is my home
red rock walls
coyote calls
all in all,
the A-Zone is the place to be.
They Say it Takes a lot To Taste This
The Clarity of Isolation
But I Feel the Quality of Peace
Is Lost in my Frustration
Seasons Turn Into One
And I Can Not Break Until It's Done
But There's No Hope For me on The Outside
So I'll Stay Isolated
Take me over the overpass
So I can look over and feel the vast dark sky touching my eyes.
The feeling of flying is overwhelming.
I wish to jump and soar away to the edge of the sky.
Here you and I can die into space and extinguish the trace of fear.
Picture perfect images of you and I as we touch the lips that kill, we die.
So we've died.
By the hand of another love quit forever.
Pour into my soul light, so ever bold from a distance.
Melt the way the time of day away from me shes been to let love spend existence.
But don't ask why this magnificence is boiling and coiling around the day.
Avert your eyes but feel the pain in beauty slowly again killing you and me.
Like a leaf off of falls tree, we descend back to hell calling.
Died and died again and we're back where we began under the overpass.
The saddest feeling filling our being slowly sinking us to the grass forever to
dream gorgeous thoughts of the overpass.
Later as eye went back to a job that eye could not no longer do there eye was
given the plastic strap to pull against my toe the one near the big one that is
somehow still missing the bowl of serpentine fluid kept against the healing skin
in hopes that it would soon close up again not iodine but the cheeper kind
Across the Universe was found the Aliens are rocking to the sound the musick
played against the stars pulsing round. The Charnak one android seven three
was seen dancing to the Beatles tune. Missing toe is listening to musick in the
rain on Alpha waves in one old sock inside just the left shoe in
on my personal website there is a YOU TUBE here unfortunatly eye cant include
it ici.
“And STARDUST we will be again”
Thanks Vince, I can't hold a tune either...I was even banned from singing in the
shower!
Sean- Been there already (Listen to Floyd's "Set the Controls For the Heart of the
Sun"- a song my band was doing in 1970) PS- if you plan to go to the Sun
anyway, I strongly suggest you go at night!
Everyone will have
more love in themselves,
if only they showed
the smallest kindness;
and smiled at each other
like sister and brother!
Only one man in all History
made that ultimate sacrifice...
such a short life
lived in holiness:
to show our hopeless Humanity
its new, wonderful destiny!
If flowers grow by sunlight,
we, too, can grow by faith...
and be as beautiful as they are at night;
If stars are admired for their beauty,
and speak to us of eternity...
we should be brighter than their light!
There's never anything wrong
when it comes to giving of oneself,
because compassion is measured by love...
even the smallest kindness can be so immense;
and they are no doubts when a joyful heart is sure:
nothing could be purer!
stagnancy is something not new to me,
it's just have become overwhelming off late.
stale moments, motionless hours,
clinge to my identity as alter ego.
numbed emotions make even prayer incomplete,
stone heart mises nobody on earth.
cell bars' perpetual shadow make stripes on my body permanent
for fifteen years i have been standing at the same place
my world - squeazed into 7 by 4 ft rectangular room,
life has become a mere waiting station for death.
I till date believe I have not yet got accustomed to this place.
