The tiny spaceship zooms
so high,
Past the moon and
through the sky,
Waving to the stars
goodbye!
Hop aboard the Magic School Bus,
There's no time to make a fuss!
Shrinking down to tiny size,
Right before our very own eyes.
Zooming through a drop of rain,
Riding on a hurricane!
Sailing through the ocean deep,
Where the giant squarks play hide-
seek.
Off to space to touch the moon,
We will all be back by noon!
Learning science, having fun,
Buckle up for everyone.
Green lights shine on my face,
Lookin' up to the Cosmic Fires!
Shootin' stars, wild lightning glow.
The Cosmos rules the Universe.
Bright lights, as a UFO picks me up
Takin' me to a brighter
Sci-Fi tomorrow!
Oh, Florida's beaches . . .
Flowing waters take me away!
I wanna visit the planets,
Converse with Extraterrestrials
In my Sci-Fi Starscape,
Forever existing, twinkling like Rainbows!
Finally my family is coming
I've been waiting and waiting
Hearing vibrations in my ears
Due to the sound made by Spaceships
Every night when I look at the sky
I see Stars moving from one place to another
Reappearing from nowhere and disappear
I tell myself when will I meet my family
Now is the time, I'm so excited
Maybe human beings will understand
What is love, peace and happiness
I've lived in this planet sharing love
That I never got back
Yet I'm still spreading it.
alien armpits
dripping shimmering sweat orbs
on the crop circle
Our love was never heaven,
and the ending, darker still -
my ship flies solo through the stars,
a voyager at will.
Does life bloom solar red on Mars?
I haven’t got a clue -
but all I know, with galaxies between,
is I’m still lost in you.
I comb the endless skies for traces
of stardust in your hair,
yet where our love once thrived,
no beating hearts are there.
Orbiting through the universe,
with nebulae in my eyes,
no shining star to wish upon,
no hand to still my cries.
The years float by like comets,
and I am growing old -
yet you, my constant shadow,
leave my heart forever cold.
A million miles now in my wake,
your love fades like the dawn.
Still, I drift without a planet,
no ground to land upon.
I search through every twilight
for the glimmer of your face,
but love’s light dims and fractures
in the silence of this space.
In my dream, I take a spaceship flight,
Guided by AI in the dead of night.
We'll glide through Nebulas, countless milky ways,
Avoiding Supernovas and Black holes' fierce gaze.
We seek a friendly planet, our quest so grand,
To descend and savor tranquil days on the land.
Like Cook's adventure, discovering a new berth,
No wars with natives, just a friendly hearth.
As I wake up, the spaceship fades from view,
Tossing in my bed, the dream bids adieu.
From their vast, blue sky
Comes a flash of chrome,
A circular ship looking to dock
In a safe harbour to call home
Looking for a new world
While I hover in and out,
Inhabited by intelligent life
Free of fear and doubt
I only observe these beings
Who become more strange,
Yet, their demeanor over time
Never really seems to change
Yet again, I have to stop
And turn back the way I came,
What was here for a million years
Has evolved to be the same
None here would welcome me
A little man with green skin,
How awfully they do treat
Their very own kith and kin
If I had set foot upon Earth
They would surely raise their fist,
Maybe it would just be best
If they didn't know that I exist.
August spider webs become thick as February snow wisps
Accumulating on our window sills
If each of us
All eight billion
Could stand in line in gardens and beside the sea
And wait our turn
To blast far up in outer space
And spend two minutes
Gazing down to our primate planet Earth
Through a little window
Perfectly fit to the size of all our faces
I think
The wonder
Of smallness and largeness and its great indifference
Could make it so that no human being
Would dare think of themselves as alone
Or desperate
Or insignificant
Ever again
We’d all believe
And killing would end.
“Spaceship”
how much pain can we bear being human?
I’m pretty sure that my mission is done here ...

I
Life goes in circles, relationships
The earth is a BALL, as some spaceships
We leave home, happily or unhappily
We explore, return at least once: it's geometry
I handle household appliances with suspicion
adjust the temperature and error
As I complain the clouds have stopped raining
I go out to live
here in the basic world
I head neurotic to where I don't know
It's been hundreds of years I do it like this
I uncontrol the real images
and submerge in me
contour obstacles posts people
difficult to coordinate so many organs that pulsate
the brain as it knows how to send more blood
for the leg that I must now lift?
there on the corner the spaceship descends
I'm going to board
from above the view is still ugly
amorphous dead city I will never return
I beg you, hurry up, let's get out of here
tomorrow maybe in a new home
maybe i give up giving up
It's hard to talk
From inside this box,
You won't see me dance
But I will advance.
I am a dreamer
With a quiet demeanor,
I've got to fly
To see stars in my eye.
Sleek metal surrounds me,
Super engines propel me
While I compute trajectories
Taking you to destinies
Beyond the Milky Way.

Jelly fish alien spaceship called the children from their beds.
My brother was the first one up, he tapped me on the head.
It’s eight o’clock I snarled at him, in a grouchy mood at best.
I was irritated because tomorrow is a fourth grade fraction test.
Come on! He hissed. Remember the dream we’ve had for so long?
Tide is up, the moon is full, and I can hear the alien’s children’s song.
My eyes opened wide and I looked straight into his big orbs of blue.
Are you sure it’s the one? I asked him. Is the faerie prophecy true?
We will never know unless you get dressed, he coaxed me but hush.
The jelly fish ship would not go without us, still we had better rush.
I put on my clothes hastily and we tiptoed down our house’s stair.
One step creaked, and we both held our breath, listening to the air.
Ran to the sea barefooted, and the aliens waved their happy wave.
Where do you want to go? The big one asked. His name was Mr. Dave.
We do not care, Italy maybe, Japan, New Zealand, and Kenya too?
Climbed aboard that jelly fish ship and traveled the world, just us two.
The first twelve hundred people who run out at nine
Will be taken to the spaceship number Line.
Coated down with resilient plastic corn zein,
So I invited my adventurous cousin Clementine.
She needed to come, for she did not have a dime.
Some prissy stuck-up bard had said she can’t rhyme.
We brought along a warm puppy, and cute wind chime.
Puppy ran amok, filling the spaceship with grime.
Foreman brought six men from a failed coal mine.
They adopted that puppy who loved them in record time.
Featured on the news as a giant creepy vine,
But we had no cares at all, as we sat down to dine.
One of the Santa Claus poser dudes turned to Clementine
Offered her marriage, in about six second’s time.
I said, “Something must be wrong with him” to her in a mime.
She could not stop laughing, we both had a great time!
