The Galaxy Is Greater
The Galaxy is greater
Than any single star
And all the other little Dust
Is Darkness from Afar.

Last Day
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
He looks and wanders
Face all covered with scars.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
He whispers chills into the air
He freezes my soul with a single stare.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
Blood red shot eyes look at me
The fear in my brown one's he can see.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
Step by step he limps his way
Thump by thump my heart fears today was its last day
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
I turn around and start to run from that stare
But when I turn he stands right there.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
He smiles exposing rotting yellow teeth and horrible breath
I know that this is a sign of Deah.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I fear that stranger from afar
I close my eyes and pray
'Oh God, I wish I'd lived today as if it were my Last Day.'

From Afar
I have tracked you
through the ages
Galaxy to galaxy
along the milky-way.
Having known of you
never being able to
reach out, and touch
you.
How cruel can lives be
only allowing myself
to admire you from
afar.

Dead Star Dust Quickens
hurt for very last time
new star must rebirth shine
dead star dust quickens refined
nuclear fusion burst forth blind
tear matter thermonuclear grind
distance in light minutes sublime
life enshrined in energy release entwined
God designed G2V type star for mankind
a main sequence star 85% brighter approximately
mostly red dwarfs populate our Milky Way galaxy

The Morning Star
IN the black pool of the midnight Lu has slung the morning star,
And its foam in rippling silver whitens into day afar
Falling on the mountain rampart piled with pearl above our glen,
Only you and I, beloved, moving in the fields of men.
In the dark tarn of my spirit, love, the morning star, is lit;
And its halo, ever brightening, lightens into dawn in it.
Love, a pearl-grey dawn in darkness, breathing peace without desire;
But I fain would shun the burning terrors of the mid-day fire.
Through the faint and tender airs of twilight star on star may gaze,
But the eyes of light are blinded in the white flame of the days,
From the heat that melts together oft a rarer essence slips,
And our hearts may still be parted in the meeting of the lips.
What a darkness would I gaze on when the day had passed the west,
If my eyes were dazed and blinded by the whiteness of a breast?
Never through the diamond darkness could I hope to see afar
Where beyond the pearly rampart burned the purer evening star.

The Last Star?
THE LAST STAR?
Is there a last star
We will be able to see the light of
Far far away-
Before all goes black?
Or will we gone by then?
Already dimmed-
Somewhere in the middle
Of the Universe’s long dying?
A last star to ourselves
A minor light gone out forever
Unchanging the greater conglomerations
Of fire and dust and death
The like of which
We once came from?
I

Perspective
To see the Earth from a distant Star
Would give perspective to who we are:
A speck of dust in a galaxy;
A whirlpool set in an endless sea
Where waves roll on to infinity.

A Wandering Star
You filled the aching longing
Of a lonely wandering star
You bridged a yawning chasm
When you saw me from afar
I heard your cry from darkness
And the blackness of the night
You cried ' I've come to set you free.'
'I've come to give you sight.'
What could fill this aching longing?
What could bridge this vast expanse?
What could render sight to blind?
And cause dead feet to dance
Could hopelessness be turned to hope?
Could darkness turn to light?
Could sin be gone and sting no more?
And end this endless night
And soon enough I found it so
In Christ my risen King
The darkness fled from my lonely heart
A heart that now can sing
And hopelessness gave place to hope
His joy now fills my soul
The chasm bridged, the darkness light
His will became my only goal
So thank you Lord, you gave me sight
When you saw me from afar
You forgave my sins and set me free
No longer now a wandering star

CFBDSIR2149(Homeless Planet)
No more pity for the gypsies
and those who left their homes as refugees.
A single homeless planet
sans the pull of a star to transit
and not moving in an orbit of a star,
seven times of the size of Jupiter
is floating in the space.
No orphanage or galaxy
to take care of it.
Too cold, fit for the young to live.
Book your tickets soon
to spend there your honeymoon.
To trouble you, there is no earthly goon
or for the budding love to prune.

Idea
Idea
is like star in the darkness of mind
It shines bright in the night
But fade when we want to bring to the dawn
And in the day we try hard
To collect the star dust
To replicate how is the light look alike

Just The Same
Theres a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesnt really matter where you are
One man was happy
One lived in sorrow
Overseer said theyll meet tomorrow
One man was wealthy
One had to borrow
Overseer said theyll meet tomorrow
Theres a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesnt really matter where you are
Its just the same
Moons silver face
Dark shadows on the wall
Light playing games as evening falls
And when the sunshine
Cant warm your heart again
Soar with the starlight on the evening wind
Theres a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesnt really matter where you are
Theres a way
Even though your heart is broken
Now by the close
Of one door
Another opens
Leave your heat wide open
The door will open
Theres a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesnt matter where you are
Its just the same
Its just the same
Its just the same
Its just the same

Single Is Fair
Single
I am single
Question of double
Does not arise.
I am single
Only single.
Single sun
Single moon
Single earth
Single air
Single sky
Sngle water
Single fire
Single soul
Single body
All are there
All are fair.
Single is single
Single is beautiful
Single is fair.

Once upon a shooting star
Once upon a shooting star, I made a wish for a love afar, the one man I wish to have, for him my life I would give, when he looks into my eyes, I get the instant rush of butterflies, I love this man with all of my heart, the love I feel is like a game of darts, taking chances and scoring high, if not for him I would have no life, we are as one in every way, together forever until the end of days, Once upon a shooting star, I wished for a love afar, I thank that star for all it is worth, and forever this person there forth.

My Evening Star
MY EVENING STAR
In the gathering gloom of my evening
sky,
I saw your face in that evening star;
Showering your brightness and your
magic light,
To dispel my gloom from afar!
While in my heart a sad old tune, -
A tune of sadness and of love,
Played like the melody of an old violin,
And I listened as if in a waking dream!
For you have left me and gone afar,
To shine as my enduring evening star!

A Poem For Another Friend Who Was Offended By My Stare....
when you see a tree on top of a hill,
do you sometimes think that it can be something else?
or perhaps someone, perhaps it was once a man who had gone astray
and by bad karma, The Heavens, punished it to be a tree forever
it cannot move when it rains, neither can it run against the storm
it is stuck, helpless on its immobility
sometimes i think that way
i.e. making stories about those that cannot talk to me
it is not a fabrication, far from a lie, it is just trying to know
what we have not seen or felt before,
everything can be,
everyone can be someone else
depending on who sees it and when
or where and why,
and so when i see you, i sometimes stare at you
and you get offended, and i do not explain,
i imagine you as greater than yourself
the possible brightest star in the sky
or another sun in the future of another galaxy
far away from me
as i regress into ash, into another grain of sand,
into nothingness that you perhaps have not ever imagined
even for once.

A Flower's Song
Star! Star, why dost thou shine
Each night upon my brow?
Why dost thou make me dream the dreams
That I am dreaming now?
Star! Star, thy home is high --
I am of humble birth;
Thy feet walk shining o'er the sky,
Mine, only on the earth.
Star! Star, why make me dream?
My dreams are all untrue;
And why is sorrow dark for me
And heaven bright for you?
Star! Star, oh, hide thy ray,
And take it off my face;
Within my lowly home I stay,
Thou, in thy lofty place.
Star! Star, and still I dream,
Along thy light afar
I seem to soar until I seem
To be, like you, a star.

Airs That Suppress
Boundless airs suppress my conduct to be,
The atmosphere leaps out to the spine;
Boundaries are amiss, my strength is sudden,
And appearing before me an apparition.
My ghosts supper on the mixtures of this galaxy,
My small ghost opens the window of the lords
Of the galaxy, so homely star systems feed.
The food for dozens of spectators is sight itself,
Fixing the legends of old, the ancient lights.

It is impossible to add much weight with a single morsel; it is hard to travel afar with a single step.
My Star Shines Bright
No matter how dark things seem around me, my star shines bright…
When there is only Darkness…and no light…
My star shines bright.
When I am out in the night…
My star shines bright.
When there is no sun, moon, or any other star in site.
My star…Shines bright.
Things in my life my not always be fair…
But I have my star and its Sparkling Glare
My Goal is clearly not in sight…
But I can find it, with my star that shines bright.
I can see the light
With my star that shines bright.
My star…
Turns the darkness of the night
Into the sparkling sight
Of the Glimmering Light! !
My star…
Shines bright…
