Spaced Out
Inner Space
Astro projected, in the seventies, travelled into the Universe at the speed of light,
Into my memories hoard, exploring the essence of every solar system.
Experiences come to life, memories created, permeate histories moments.
Memories flash by at lightening speeds, lightening scorches the essence of life,
changing its molecular structures, its psychic abilities, forever altering reality
from what once was, to what is, to what will become a new reality.
A surrealistic vision, once harbouring the colours of rainbows seen through prisms.
All colours of the spectrum, life’s experiences, fading from view, only shades of gray
covering this universe, memories hoard, life’s experiences with, one day soon, a death mask.

Emptiness seems paler,
Within the wind and the movements,
Echoes begin to creep in,
Without a beat, beyond the warnings,
The effervescence that once fueled my tools now sears my lungs,
Collecting old shadows I left to rest from once upon a time,
Colors are only a delicacy for monsters,
And the taints in my spine are drained by dementors,
Fallen for the light that seeps through the wooden blinds,
Convinced, maybe this time!
It’s only right,
The stars can be kind,
At times the sky speaks in tears,
While the storm strikes the pillars of my heart with fears,
Visions creating instruments out of casualties in my storms,
I wonder sometimes, how much combat is left in my bones,
Resist to insist for joy,
Yet every step feels like a bridge I destroy,
I’ve shown my skin and strengthened my pride,
My words have lost their loom through the valley of my tribe,
One day I hope I doze off and find some ease,
For I know, no limbs of mine can do what love can please.

Lost places
Are filled with dread
Most houses build on top of land
Undecided undeniable fixated sensation
Compromise all I see in the rain is dread
The Elohim terrain space is ablaze red

energies spaced all creations are one-
So I look upon
soul indebts my embraces
I see the tree so
it embraces me so free
we hug in love we are same

The rainy season arrives
Today we have a gloomy and surly weather
It makes me feel heavy and depressed
Spaced out
Fed up
Finally retreat to a confinement
To avoid being wet out
The bustle and hustle of the outside
Being blocked out
An inner self is left
I feel somewhat alone and lost
Am l really alone
Of course not
I then think of my loved ones
I then think of God
Who is ever ready to attend to us

landscape the blackness
that covers skies polka dots
white burst of stars glistens

these are those brights sparks
sparkling planets so far out
these are the lights space

I was at a critical stage.
Where I was not feeling sage.
I felt like I was in outer space.
But really, I was just moving at a lightning pace.
As the clouds went still.
I had the feeling that it would not be until.
My hands were unstrapped.
In this space, I am trapped.
I had lost my sense of connection.
As they gave me an injection.
I had almost been catatonic.
Which was ironic.
What is seen will eventually be forgotten.
As my false universe would go rotten.

If space is an area untoil;
I can't space separate words;
If all 3 dimensional voids;
Intertwine collage with gravity's hole;
Blank or empty consecrating unavailable area ;
Or solid barriers;
Accommodation blanketed spot;
Reach vacancies infinite area. perspective peace;
Place
Space

Using words
turn the phrase
or is it just a phase
errs
on stun
the sci-fi nerd has just begun
predatory alien
try to follow please
i am macaroni allergic to cheese
i am
legend
Logans final run
The thing you need to comprehend
I am the fly in the ointment
beneath my feet the earth is still

So Spaced!
She's Spaced, first Lunar Laureate, 'Colon'ized Moon,'
Who knows how many sing her tune,
Her beauty flows in ancient rhyme, gives voice to time,
Word's gravitas, with firmament unsung before,
Where rust's an unknown metaphor.
Moon has no seasons, though it spins, knows no regrets,
What Lora wants there, Lora gets,
With Love unfazed by charms of men or wiles therein
Her heart strums chords Love dares to feel, that harmonize,
Reveal, but do not patronize!
In 'Dark Side's' vacuum, 'Lover's' light, tears have a place
No smile's yet owned a human face,
Her solitude knows wealth love pays on better days,
Bereft of beauty, hope, and charm, still walks with God
(And arm in arm!) Does Grace seem odd?
Brian Johnston

Gamma Ray Bursts from the edge of space.
Collapsing black holes, without a trace?
Exploding stars from near and far.
Just what's in this big cookie jar?
Comet's tails, as long as can be.
This is what makes up, you and me?
Giant gas planets, that are starting to glow.
Separate solar systems, for all to show?
The speed of light, gone in a flash.
Then back again, we're starting to crash?
Here we are, safe and sound.
It's our space, how profound?
God's out there, watching the show.
Can we see him? How should we know?

Coasting stately, effortlessly through the Sun's prominence becoming our magnificence. Without these bright badges, brilliant buttons, and dazzling décor of heavenly bodies as twinkling slogans advertising themselves on a black canvas, we'd be sailing alone amidst black seas of infinity. The boundless, endless, unlimited, unforgiving, exceedingly great nature and extent of outer space. Tantalizing us, provoking us, taunting us, frustrating us, tempting us, enticing us to step outside our fraction of a dot. We must take direct aim with our sight and strive to take flight far out into the uncharted black waters, that is our target. Our imagination is already waiting for us, beckoning us. It's only a matter of time before we find the necessary strand of knowledge and erupt into space. You say "impossible". But impossible says "I'm possible."
