Names of the Constellations

All visible stars contained
within eighty-eight Constellations
- the Author claimed
names that intrigue
my Wandering but Meeting-bound Mind:
the Tarantula Nebula is in Dorado, the Goldfish
Hydra, the Water Snake is the largest constellation
while Crux, the Southern Cross is the smallest one
– a word of explanation:
the stars in Constellation have no relations
only sharing proximity in the sky
as seen from earth -
the brightest star is called Sirius
Canis Major, the Great Dog
the brightest star, the shining Lucida
in Orion, the Hunter, Rigel is called
while the brightest star in Carina, the Ship’s Keel
is known as Canopus -
with the names of the Constellations
I might just write my Magnum Opus!

Lights Out

I looked up at the bowl of night
And saw Orion’s form,
But several stars were missing
And the poor hunter looked forlorn.

Alnitak was missing
Betelgeuse was all but gone
Rigel’s star was fading
and would not survive til dawn.

Look there, in Canis major,
A nearby constellation group
Sirius seemed rather dim
The Dog Star began to droop..

Was something tragic happening?
Or was I going blind?
Mother warned about that-
I disbelieved her at the time

I had to find a way to tell
The world the epic news.
These days folks aren’t looking up
Most stare down at their shoes

Like a fire’s dying embers
stars faded from my sight
The Dim stars were completely gone
the others half as bright.

The vast and empty dark of night
Enveloped me in dread.
Would the sun come up tomorrow?
Would we shortly all be dead?

I went to clean my glasses
Before sounding the alarm
It was then that I first noticed
the lenses both were gone.

They had come loose in my pocket
and would need expert repair.
I nearly caused a spectacle-
Thank the Lord I have a spare.

We rolled in the jungle

we rolled in the jungle
like a gagster
if you had seen me with a myke
you would call me master
if you had seen me with a gun
you would call me gunster
if you had seen me in the club
you would call me clubster
if you had seen me in the gang
you would call me gangster
we rolled we rolled we rolled
we rolled in the jungle
like a gangster
i stepped into the gang
they called me gangster
i reached for a bottle of star
they called me master
i am the brightest star
though the smallest of the stars
but the brightest of the stars
but before i grabbed the star
i had a serious scar
and without the gangsters
am still the real star
and so we rolled in the jungle
like a gangster

Giza Pyramids Alignments With Stars

symbolism shafts
emanating from King
Queen’s chambers

aligned to specific stars
which stars why meaning what
extending to exterior not

northern southern shafts
from Queen’s chamber
do not extend to exterior

construction abandoned
mid way point northern shaft
points to Kocab Star set

associated by ancient Egyptians
with an immortality of their soul
southern shaft set points to Sirius

cosmic mother of all Egypt’s kings
star alignment of King’s chamber’s
southern shaft over Giza ancient skies

at 2500 BC targets Al Nitak brightest
of three symbolic stars in Orion’s belt
identifies resurrection rebirth Osiris

all four shafts high precision align to exact
location of stars in 2500 BC epoch four stars
ritually important but does this date pyramids

2500 BC does not exact match three pyramids
ground layout with height of Orion’s belt stars
precession match of sky ground image perfect

in 10500 BC with star Mintaka smallest
of three Orion’s belt stars is slightly slanted
south-westerly relative to Milk Way axis

third pyramid offset from two larger pyramids
imitates this layout perfectly Great Pyramid aligns
to Al Nitak second to Al Nilam third to Mintaka

in 10500 BC epoch sacred River Nile in Egypt
actually mirrored galaxy Milky Way in night skies
ancient Egyptians precision Heaven on Earth built

The Star

When I was a boy I searched the skies
For the truth, a star, and the worldly wise,
But ever the path of the brightest lay
On my neighbour’s roof, or another’s way.

So I chose a star and I called it ‘Dawn’
As the brightest light in a summer storm
And I charged it: ‘Lay out my future way
As bright as the path you trace today.’

But when I was older, learned and wise
I left the star in the drifting skies
And never a thought of the star was lent
While the truth, the star, and my faith was spent.

And when I was down, and worn, and thin,
I got to think what I might have been
And searched for the star in the drifting skies
And cried its name at the pale sunrise.

I’ve scanned and searched for a single star
Since the way of the world was far too far,
But all I get are the skies alight
Or a deep despair on a cloudy night!

The Daytime Star

Alas! Show Thyself to me oh daytime star!
Yea! Many sayeth that there be a star that glows brightest by day!
Show thyself to me that I may behold thy brightness with mine eyes!
Said he.
And a voice replied saying,
In the most obvious of places is that which men have sought without finding!
I am the star that glows brightest over all norths!
I am the Alpha-Star!
I am the Sun-Light!
The Daytime star!

Poets, You Are All Stars!

Stellar objects in the sky,
Brighter and visible to naked eyes,
All twinkle and smile with naughty winks,
A few are brighter than other kinds,
Own luminosity determines its brightness,
Proximity to the observers can alter it,
Brightest star are at the first magnitude,
The faintest at the sixth magnitude,
Standard stars stays brighter always,
Variable stars have different brightness,
These stars change their magnitude as they wish,
You are all the stars in the sky,
Can be seen smiling at me with white rays,
Every one of you, have your own brightness,
Reigning the poetical sky in togetherness,
I may be the faintest star in the sixth magnitude,
Yet to be seen and mapped in your gentle hearts,
From that distance, I can see you all twinkling steep,
Singing the songs of love, sorrow, loneliness and hope.

Finale

The great star Eta Carinae reclines,
spine scarce inclined from the galactic plane.
Polar axis ominously aligns
along a Milky Way star-studded vein.
If predictions hold, the star will implode
and explode with rare hypernova force.
A black hole will dwell where the core once glowed.
Poles, a double-barrelled gamma-ray source.
Good luck to any civilization
which lies in their atmosphere-strafing path.
May they escape the first conflagration
and far-reaching pumped X-ray aftermath.
Our galaxy hums with fun, thrills and strife,
the arbitrary adventures of Life!

ETA CARINAE
Eyes
Turn to
Argo's keel,
Carina's stars.
Awash with hot zeal,
Raging behemoths spar.
Inside an effluvial
Nebula, a luminous blue
Avatar cedes to gravity's heel.
Eyes turn to Argo's keel, Carina's stars.

41° LUCKY
Ten thousand light years-
a safe distance from the poles.
Our view is oblique.
Earth to Eta Carinae-
Seven thousand, six hundred.

A Star Deep In the Mind

I see a new star on the horizon;
It's not the Morning Star;
It's a star without light.
This star without the light is the brightest
Because its light stays within.
The biggest star doesn't take any space;
It lives within,
Feeds all other stars, all other matter.
Without space, there is no time,
Without time, there is no aging,
Without aging, there is no death.
A star without light never dies;
It cannot be seen in the outer space;
It can only be sensed in the mind.

Brightest Star

You are the brightest star
That I always watch every night
How will you know?
How will you notice?
Brightest star.

You do not mind me
I always whisper your name to the wind
i always dream of reaching you
to touch you and kiss you
And even own you
Yet how can I? I do not have the wings
I do not have a heavenly soul

You never notice me
O! Bright star!
So High and so bright
In the black sky and space
That own you

You always live there
And thrive in its black bosom
With the moon

On this day
I dream of becoming the sun
So I may have the power
To forget you

Veronica (My loving dog I miss you so much.)

The most beautiful star in the sky
A star that looks down on me
That star shines brighter then light
Very loving you are, and love you
I do.

You my wonderful delight
A star magical
Shine and shine my loving star
My star is always with me.

So special to me
Way out in space
The brightest star in the sky
O star, how I miss you.

I miss you, my dear friend
I see you light in the night
Shining very bright
The most beautiful star
On the sky.

To The Sky With Love

The Sky symbolizes many things
Freedom, space and the comfort of a heaven
The freedom to be yourself
The space to do what you do
The comfort of a heaven if you believe
And through the Sky shines millions of bright Stars
Stars that may twinkle one night and be gone the next
But there is no Star as significant as the Sun
The Stars of the night are nothing compared to the Sun
From the view of the Earth, even the North Star is nothing
The Sun provides light, heat and the happiness of those on Eartg
You may love the brightest Star, your Evangeline
But eventually you will find the true Star
The Star that lights up your Sky and makes it bright all day
One day you will find your Sun
And your Sun will provide the things you need to survive
Because a Star can only shine her pinpoint of light from a distance
Until she explodes and shows her supernova of colors
And dissapears from your Sky

Sirius

Sirius shines
the dog star
low in the sky
the brightest star
revolving round
a small dark sun
which no man has ever seen
like a body
round a soul
or words
around a man
or a man
around his words
or a man
around a man
or words
around a soul
like a body
which no man has ever seen
a small dark sun
revolving round
the brightest star
low in the sky
the dog star
Sirius shines

for J, T, and L

now i am seeing you all again
shining in your black vestments
like some shining stars in heaven

i am left here in my imaginings
looking for the brightest star
because i have decided myself
that i shall not be one

among the many
among those who had kept within their hearts
the loneliness of fame

Shining Starr! !

shining star, shining star,
for how you shine so bright
your my wonderful delight.

shining star, shining star,
why is it you?
is is because i loved you to much?

until the day come when i met you.

now back to reality,
so time to go for now,
but i shall be back.. I MISS YOU! ! !

My First Love Poem

When God created heaven and he placed those stars above,
I knew right then the star I'd chose would fill my life with love,

The greatest gift bestowed to me is the best received by far,
because that's the day I've met you and realised that you're my star,

I can't forecast what life will hold but there is one thing I know,
That if we keep it watered well our plant of friendship will grow,

You will always be the brightest star in the heavens of my heart,
And I won't despair when dark clouds near for my star shines through the dark.

The Stars Are Brightest

i

the stars are brightest
on the deep blackness
of the night

ii

not on those brightest days
can you feel the glitter
of a single star

iii

no on the deep scarlet of our grief
can we for once
change into stars
show that our hearts glow
like diamonds
in the ocean floor of our
sorrows

iv

twinkle, glitter, glow
there is also meaning and beauty
in this sorrow

v

we do not have to be mud
others have turned to the god of the rocks
we can be stars
meteors shooting brightness in dark space
galaxies expanding
to build a new world

we can be suns of glory when others explode
and be gone for worst

I See Stars

I saw a star in Venice
I saw a star tonight
I saw a star falling then regain its flight.
I saw a star in Rio

I saw a star in you
I saw a star twinkling in different shades of blue.
I saw a star in Heaven
I saw a star in Hell
But never did I see a star twinkling on my world.

I've seen a star fading
I've seen it cross the sky
I've seen so many different stars trying not to die
I've seen them come together

I've watched them grow apart
I have seen so many stars in a lovers heart.
I've seen the stars exploding
I've seen the quiet and calm

I've heard them whisper secrets in a world full of harm
I saw a star twinkling in different shades of blue
But never in all my life have i seen a star like you...

The Christmas Message

The Christmas Message

As he lay on his bed unable to sleep
he saw the brightest star in the sky.
It was the brightest he had ever seen
and he couldn’t understand why.

He watched the star by night and day,
its intensity never waned.
A golden light came down from heaven
carrying an angel who explained.

The messenger spoke of the Son of God
and how he was soon to be born.
He would bring love, peace, and goodwill,
and inspire the lost and forlorn.

The child’s name will be Jesus Christ,
man’s saviour from the highest heaven,
and he will live upon the Earth as a man
until his life for mankind is given.

The Starry Sky

As I look into the sky
I see the stars and wonder why
I see the big bear and little bear
I see the other constellations up there
The little dipper, the big dipper
The dog star, the north star
Morning star,and evening star
The moon and the sun for light
And the milky way so white
And then I tell myself
Yes, God flung them in the sky
He knew his stuff, He put them way up high.

That Star

The brightest star in the sky
I claim as you
Cause it shines bright
Just like you
I see that star every night
And though we live miles apart
I know one day I'll see you, just as I see that star
That star is the only light in the darkness
Just as your the only thing keeping me clinging to life
That star guides me through the night
To see the light of another day
Another day closer to seeing you
