Blue Crescent MoonAs the stars twinkled gaily in the sky,
they could only laugh -
They watched the moon through all its phases,
crescent, quarter, gibbous, full, and half.
But as she cycled through her lunar changes,
grieving for all love untrue,
the stars sadly noticed that
the moon was always blue.
So, they charmed a gentle nightingale,
"Please sing your pretty tune",
and "the stars beckoned...

The Sapphire Star, Lyrics
Above the gleaming constellations, soaring high
Over waves of Seven Seas, where dreams lie
She’s supernal, the Sapphire Star of El
A fire pulsar shell, casting her spell
Twiiiiinkle, in the darkened sky so bright
She’s celestial, a blessing in the night
Empyreal, with a glow that won’t depart
She’s the sapphire gem that stirs the heart
I’m pushing forward, lifting weight and...

A Starry Eyed Glistening Glide
A cascade of swirls curled in the sky.
Enveloping a host of ghostly nebula galaxies,
glowing like a myriad of phosphorous flares,
sent aloft to glisten in starry, starry eyes.
The moon was off
the scene somewhere,
humming to itself,
the haunting mantra lilt
of a lunar lullaby,
only it knows can put a smile,
on its pocked blotched face.
When the...

Star Studded NightStar Studded Night
Myriad stars like tiny jewels greet me
as I set up my telescope
a new moon was the current
Lunar cycle, no light to interfere
Ophiuchus the Serpentine constellation
Slithers across the sky trailing
Phosphorous dust in its wake
I train my scope on the pinwheel shaped
Andromeda constellation its spiral arms
reaching far out to space
the Helix Nebula comes into view...

Star ChildLate at night
or on the threshold of another dream,
I power up my time machine
and travel over the temple tops
of an as yet unchartered heaven.
The mind flips over
as if some spectral hand
was turning over a giant tortoise shell,
the inner carapace is mapped,
and I see that an adventurous wanderer
has been here before me.
Before the light illuminated the...

Better to Know, or Not to Know?
'Tis it better to know, or not to know?
Now there's the rub!
The dilemma in a Pandora paradox.
Sure it's nice to get to know yourself, but not entirely,
for the abyss within the cage will return the gaze.
Better, perhaps to not know that the killer asteroid
arrives tomorrow at half past ten.
Nor what's in all the horror-scopes...

Star boyStar boy
They say heaven gained another angel when someone dies
But when it comes to the death of black lives
We say the universe gained another star
Because to us
It represents their light and love
Shining down from above
Each star a story of loss
Each star a story of pain
Each star a symbol of what being black costs
Each star...

Noise
I never liked loud noise.
As a child I would run inside
terrified by the sound
of an aeroplane flying overhead,
cower under the wrap
of my grandmother's thick coat
on the rumbling roar
of a passing truck.
There was always menace
in sounds that exceeded
a threshold which for me
was barely above that
of the spoken voice. Even then,
crowded spaces chorused
in...

Morning starShe said I can't trust you.
You are to cleaver for me.
so why do I stay?
it sounds foreign
to be close to you my dear.
My morning star right there.
Can you help?
Can you heal?
instead, you are poison for me.
Now you have my soul, but you can't own me.
so please move, step back, don't move.
don't f$%ken touch...

Midnight StarMidnight Star
Radiant night
Darkness takes flight
Candles with a low dim light
Star’s glow bright
Oceans crash on the rocks
Moonlight on the docks
Your reflections tread across the water
Stand by you forever
Take me under
Black sky watches over
A second chance
Together at last
You are Midnight Star
It’s burns from...

You're a StarSsshhh! Ssshhh! Ssshhh!
Says who?
Says YOU?
I knew.
I doubt YOU.
Hush! Hush! Hush!
Now why?
YOU cried?
I knew.
YOU lied.
In the stillness
Is the sound of silence.
In the darkness
YOU shine the brightest.
Mind this:
A star
Is never born
In the light.
It's unnoticed
until
before twilight.
But alas!
When born
It creates the day.
It has found a way.
So YOU...
don't doubt,
don't lie.
It's ok to cry.
Yield yourself high.
Dream,
Believe,
Survive.
---Self-love is believing...
