in that one blissful gaze

I see

the entire galaxy

the one that mesmerize

every atom of me

and draw me

closer to you

through

celestial sphere

where the sun

the moon

the planets

dance the ecliptic

scintillate

the constellation

of our souls

as the sparkling

spica and antares

guide you

all the way

from the depth

of celestial sea

to the wondrous

southern hemisphere

where I belong;

bear your water

in divine balance

through light-years

journey

with me

leave the trail

of our stardust

in divine harmony.

...

I search the galaxy

for a love like yours

I am always looking

drifting through space

and touching the stars

you are my sun

you are my moon

and I

an endless wanderer

that travels

through your heart

swimming

in the deep oceans

that are your eyes,

such blissful joy

to be by your side

to stand in the warmth

and glow of your soul

I search the galaxy

for a love like yours

but can't seem to find

because an inner beauty

such as yours

can only be found once

so I stay in your arms

and tremble slightly

for the World's power

and the Universe's depth

can be as cold

as it is wide...

but tonight

is just a bliss for

a wanderer

such as myself,

because you are near me

gripping me tightly,

keeping me

safe

and anchored

to your

loving heart

............................

You bathe in the glory of taking your own breaths,

Singing along to your poems about respect.

Then I came into your life,

Intruding your home without a knock.

But you let me in,

Your front door was unlocked.

A mat on your porch,

It said "welcome" as I wandered.

Closer to you,

A dream to which I only pondered.

You sat me down,

Handed me a warm glass of tea.

Opened a journal,

Showed me letters you wanted to read.

We talked all night,

We even sat on the roof.

But deep inside,

You knew you had to choose.

You were losing yourself,

The night slowly drifting away.

But you remembered,

It was your house I chose to invade.

Remebering the door,

How you kept it unlocked.

The welcome mat,

How deceiving you thought.

Anyone is welcome

In your house anytime.

Afterall I was a robber,

But you treated me so kind.

I didnt come for the gold or your valuables,

I must confess.

Instead I came for a safe,

Buried deep within your chest.

They say love is blind,

And I cant see where im going.

No matter how hard you slap me,

I'll still try to keep your smile glowing.

But to respect yourself,

Its problems you need to face.

So baby girl I get it,

You need space.

Galaxies

A milky way

Full of stardust

And falling stars

We wish

As they fall

That we may fall as well

Longing to kiss

Under Haley's Comet

Lips so soft and true

Metal swooshing, swirling round,

nothing will ever touch the ground.

Floating slow, soaring fast,

how long will this madness last?

Will everyone please stop being so rash

and clean up this cosmic trash.

Distance

Blackness

Far back in time

Some stars

A flash of light

I am here

With nothing but what I am made of

I am made up of ideas

Memories of lives gone by

Of achievement and of failure

Made by hands of peace

Created by a mind of desire

Pushed forward to claim back reason

Small in a vast world

With only my feet to show me the way

#SpaceChallenge

Outer space.

A distant place.

How can you go?

You want to know.

A rocketship?

A plane that zips.

Strapped in a seat.

Your heart quickly beats.

Off you go.

Destination: Pluto.

I say I need it

but all I want is you

I say to leave

but I’m begging you to stay

I say I just want to be alone

but I want to be anything but

I say I’m happy

but I don’t feel a thing

I say it was a scratch

but I didn’t say where from

I say I’m fine

but really, I’m dying

I say I’m just tired

but the question is:

tired of what?

tired of having space

of being alone

pathetically crumbling to ashes

alone in my tiny world

alone with too much space

so much that my cries don’t echo

they never leave this place

I have too much space
