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.

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

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.

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."

In Space or Spaced Out
Bones grow feeble without gravity
This is a serious matter, not to be taken lightly
Blood fails to reach the brain
We must bear this in mind
Space cannot be navigated by the light headed
The semi conscious, on a journey with such a faint map
Think on this seriously, it is not a joke
Spaceships lost in the heavens is a hellish consequence
Sentient beings drifting half conscious is senseless
Concentrate your thoughts so that we do not scatter
Debris in the galaxies, cleverly made
And stupidly lost.

Your devotion is the poison I trust
Passion burns with atomic thrust
The vacuum you left fills with rust
I hate how I miss you – it’s lust
This love for centuries lost
This is forever at last
The signal left my neurotransmitters
A thousand light years separates us
I boil in this cold distance
Imploding in your absence
I’m oil in this dark circumstance
Deprived of your life force
On a mission to your galaxy
To rekindle our lost intimacy
Girl, you know we gel in ecstasy
Gravity pulls me toward your chemistry
You’re the black hole to test my integrity
You’re the gene to extend my longevity
I’m absolute zero in this loneliness
Launched in-between time and space
So, you’ve heard about the other satellite
Well girl, she means nothing, just moonlight
You know nothing burns bright enough
To ignite the light you shine into my life

Our solar system is a single atom...
Atoms bind together to make up molecules
An infinite number of molecules make up our universe
Our universe combines with billions of other universes
and those combined universes are but a tiny piece of...
that pesky little flake of dandruff on my shoulder

There once was a Vulcan named Spock
embarrassed when people would mock
his strange pointy ears
He would burst into tears...
until he had both of them cropped!
We all know a Captain named Kirk
It was well known that he was a jerk!
When the Enterprise docked
when he saw Mister Spock
he'd laugh at those chopped ears, that hurt!!
Each one of the Enterprise crew
felt that Spock's self-esteem was so blue
that they grabbed Captain Kirk
by his feet, like clockwork
and tossed from the spaceship he flew!!
Mister Spock's ears had finally healed through
He pierced each with earrings brand new
Captain Kirk in disgrace
Floats in deep outer space
What became of him?....nobody knew!!
All the evidence was quickly erased
Mutineers did not leave any trace
Although Kirk may be gone...
He lives now, in re-runs.
So you "Trekkies" can still see his face!!

Soon will come a day
when those devoted
to Him.... (the Alpha
and Omega, the True
Light, the Deliverer),
will just fly away.
No, not to take some
magical journey of our own.
But instead, to have Him
meet us in the clouds,
to take us to our real home.
This place ..... so different
it will be, a place we will
actually have to see to believe.
Exempt from rot and decay,
and we'll know everything
just as plain as day.
Devoid of heartache, conflict
angst,chaos, any kind of pain.
No more "going insane."
Serenity,oneness,complete
contentment is what we gain.
Oh yes, what a wonderful
day that will very soon be.
And oh the glee, when His
glorious face we finally see.

Why are u the only thing on my mind?
I'm trying to pay attention in geometry.
Why can't I be without u,
Without losing my sanity?
Why do I need u in my life?
Why must u be different than the rest?
I try to be happy on my own,
But your my biggest test!
Oh crap, Mr. G just asked me a question,
And I don’t know what to say!
I haven’t paid attention this class,
In fact I haven’t all day!
I was spaced out in geometry
And daydreamed through phys. ed
Now i'm supposed to answer #8
I need to start using my head.
I think the answer's 32
No, wait its 33.
When I answer everyone laughs
And I sink into my seat.
I’m not on the right question,
I’m not even on the right page!
Everyone is staring at me,
I feel like I’m on stage!
Should I sing a little song,
or break dance on the floor?
I look at the right question,
The answer's 64.
Thank God it's finally over,
Everyone looks away.
I look at the clock, and sigh in relief
Because there’s only 10 minutes left of the school day.
I blame this all on you
Because your always on my mind.
I can never concentrate
Cause I think of you all the time!
