The Universe Poems - Poems about The Universe

Does the Universe Retain All the Knowledge of Every Civilization That Ever Existed

In the black throat of space, words spiral,
Charred syllables drifting like moths to no flame.
Every book, every prayer, every curse
Finds its way into the bone-dust of stars.

I dream of archives stitched into the dark,
Veins of memory pulsing through nebulae—
All our hands, bloody or tender,
Catalogued in the frost of dead moons,
And liquid methane.

The universe hums like

Premium MemberStructure of the universe

The first creation was the cosmic egg
Hiranyagarbha, that’s shaped like our head
All souls caged within it, for freedom beg
Taking endless births, till they’re by love led

Polarities balanced, bliss enabled 
Life’s lessons learnt, we are from this egg hatched 
As divine light which cannot be labelled
We’re the twice born, our aura’s glow unmatched

God dwells in each

Premium MemberIn the silence between the stars, when the universe whispers forgotten secrets

In the silence between the stars, when the universe whispers forgotten secrets,
I would write words of fire, like an incantation from ancient times,
Words that dance in spirals of light and darkness,
Metaphors that embrace mystery and awaken the sleeping soul.
But in my cosmic solitude, I am just a seeker,
A soul wandering through constellations of silent thoughts

In the mystery of the universe, where mortal hands cannot stop the fall of flowers,
tears gather like pearls on the petals of destiny, without defying the law of time,
for what must be, shall be, like the twilight that bows before the night,
and the stars, in a trembling choir, bow to the dusk with grace and

Facing the universe

In front of the universe
 I was like a man with hallucinations,
 I gripped,

 I asked for the white man, 
The white man;
 When there was no white man standing there;

Premium MemberThe universe is our body

Just as all our limbs are integrated,
though each organ has a different role,
know everything is interrelated,
each one inseparable from the whole,
which we too are, as the light we extol.
Meditating thus, that we are the all,
from cave of our heart, bursts forth a bliss squall.

The sun is our eye and heaven our head,
breath is the breeze

Premium MemberAnchor of the universe

All that which is manifest
As also all that which is not 
All realms, all domains
The pivot, the heart with love thawed
The heart of Self, the heart of God

Stillness transcending the three states
Awareness equalising the gunas
Bilocation of consciousness 
That we be immanent and transcendent 
The immortal Self is bliss resplendent

Premium MemberHow was the universe created

In God’s heart an intent arose,
which we may simply call His will,
to manifest the universe,
where agape love may overspill.

God conjured earth, water and fire 
which are present in every form
and once this knowing we acquire,
bastions of wisdom we can storm.

These three elements God combined,
to create all that’s manifest,
by force of His absolute mind,
each form being

Premium MemberThe universe disappeared

Within our heart, a fierce fire raged,
a burning yearning to be free
from our mind, where we were caged,
that soul may dwell on earth carefree.

We knew there’s more to us than this,
striving being of no avail,
so in darkness of fear’s abyss,
we chose all thought forms to derail.

We shut mind’s door yet ego knocked,
begging our soul to

She steps, and each movement is a dance of stars across the universe,
A constellation in motion, carrying light into every corner of shadow,
On paths of tranquility, guided by a kindness that untangles the knots of time,
Her smile soothes unseen wounds, transforming suffering into sculptures of happiness.
With a radiance that seems borrowed from the eternal fire

You Ever Think About The Universe

How could the universe spawn from itself 
it must have been inside something else 
which would exist inside something itself 
something so infinite it’s trapped in itself 
time becomes irrelevant no start no end 
it’s all existence and also pretend 
thinking about it will drive you around the bend 
into the madness your mind will

           ***************

Flashing stars blush when caught—ignite
Through blue rock darts in sparkling light

"Across the universe"—swart crown
Pools of grief—waves of mirth are down

Scribes bid adieu in sapphire smoke
Spilling gold in a dying stroke

I Have Traveled To The Edge Of The Universe And Back Only Once

I have gone where stars dissolve in violet flame,
Beyond the breathless hush of time and name,
Where silence swells like tides beneath the skin,
And nothing waits to let the light begin.

The galaxies bent low to let me pass—
Each one a frozen bloom of shattered glass.
I listened for a voice, a breath, a bell,
But all was still,

I am the universe

I am the universe


Before I was, did my "I" exist?
Atoms danced in cosmic streams,
Born in stars, billions of years past,
Nuclei forged in supernova blasts.
In my parents’ cells, DNA entwined.

A code of life, billions of years refined.
Then, in my mother’s womb, I formed,
Cells dividing, channeling a form
No thought, what’s to come unknown,
A spark of life, a
