#stars

Limeraiku/ Haikerick
i
I once had a friend
named Carol, who tried to roll
over a barrel.
ii
At the end of a very long day,
consider the stars far away.
They declare their existence;
from mind-boggling distance,
their light shines with years-long delay.
iii
The thing we all love
about Jerry is that he
always seems merry.
iv
It's fine that my readers might wonder
if those things are linked, or a blunder?
The answer is just
that the word count's a must
and today's thoughts came in at just under!

We might short ourselves
if we don’t dream big
after all
some things are more achievable than others
because if we don’t really challenge ourselves
what happens when what we once thought was impossible
becomes too easy?
it’s up to us
to set those standards a little higher
so that every achievable milestone
will motivate us
and propels us forward
why stop at the moon
when our eyes are fixed on the stars

where do stars go to sleep?
i oft wonder
where do stars slumber?
as soon as dawn
smudges the darkness,
the shimmering dots fade away
...fade into the sun's
golden beams-
a water of dreams it is,
where the twinkling gems
submerge
deep within its sea;
mirroring the heavens,
this blue ocean
is where these glowworms
turn into starfish.
they rest at the bottom
of the surreal world
until the skies
turn back
to bewitching black,
waking up the
mystical sparkles
from their sweet sleep;
flowering into a starry...

Across the sea of time
Stars burn bright
Telling the stories of ancient beings
Beginnings
They tell tales in a language unknown
They were here before us
They will be here after us
And their light will keep moving on
Long after we are gone
In the vastness of space
They have been beacons of light
Guiding us through seas
Through mountains and deserts
Leading us in dark times

Sky Tonight
It’s an app on my phone
And every chance I get to use it
I watch the stars with speechless wonder
I point it at the night sky
The names of distant stars light up
The drawings come to life
And old mythological characters take shape
I think about our own lives
What impression we will leave for others
And if after we’re gone
Will they tell our stories?
Just like those
We still see out there in the universe

~the (un)imagining
amidst the sumptuous
feeding in impending glooms..
trying hard.. to swim against
these blackly enshrouding
opacity clouds.. choking
in noxiousnes..
how foolishly dare-devilish
to act against a devil itself ..
(or is it the destined divinity..)
this mere pure a defying act
of i m a g i n i n g .. yes
(literally reads as if an ‘unageing’)
a rebellion.. a religion

imagining..

Terrenes
Rarely had real life stars
guiding me as I maturated
from a curious boy to
confusion then awake
1 or 2 along each decade
Or so pointing out
a lane, not necessarily
THE PATH
However, the beacon
lighthouse at a jetty’s
end always ever there
Mom
(and her Mom)
Both candles
wicks to short to keep lit
cremated
their wit & wisdom
cemented
I like to believe I can capture
a glimpse, a wisp of
a soft chuckle between
breezes – cool...

Atlas A Taurus
When she almost died, I told the Taurus stars
“Give her back to me and take me instead”
So when she came to life I protected my wife
Knowing I had lot of work to compose ahead
I made a pact with the universe, my life for her–
So that I may go into the infinite cosmos first
Thus I immersed myself in prose and verse
To write my best even when I’m at my worst
Ever since I’ve spit mad bars looking up at the stars
Declaring my love even if I’m sounding silly or dumb
Whether she laughs or cries I love the look in her eyes
But I...

Hidden Echinoderms
if I wanted to research a Firefly Family Flight
beyond today’s current events
happenstance,
I might discover a DNA line
bioluminescence individuals
choosing safety, secretive wonders beneath
a gentle maturation of shine.
Gardens of bright star-like flora
Pollinated via aquatic Fire Flies?
Why not (me) !!!
The path 100% NEW
Yet conquering fearful of
the unknown love
thriving in an abundance of
anonymity
Starfish tried to evolve as they WANTED IN
Crabs...

Achernar Eridanus
Further and farther into the universe
Out into the far and wide unknown
My love feels like it travels across time
Mesmerized and awed but never alone
Into the vast distance where stars burn
Past beginnings and origins of creation
My love explores the stellar heavens
With exhilarating extraordinary elation
Faraway into the utmost reaches of the cosmos
Where even the strongest light hasn’t beamed
My love goes on a journey faster and more distant
To where imagination has not even yet dreamed
Maybe it’s because I love...

A Simple Plea
Tonight you dozed off with me
Wrapped up in our cozy fantasy
I cannot stop staring, wanting, dreaming
I must look like I have stars in my eyes.
The weight of your world seems to push down
A world I have barely set foot in
Yet already I want to rush to you and say
Please, come here. Let me help you bear your crown.
Not because you need my help
Not because of any reason, save this one:
I take such delight in your company
that it hardly seems any effort at all.
Already your chisel has been hard at work
Already...

Back to Gemini
(Castor and Pollux 2)
Back to Gemini that space between him and I
When we see eye to eye in that dual personality
One’s a fly by and the other can be the fall guy
Like a balance act between absurdity and rationality
And perhaps this is why Gemini is my favorite constellation
As if the astrological sign is in line with that characterization
There are two temperaments but usually logic is at the helm
While the mad enthusiastic maniac wants to overwhelm
Castor and Pollux watch from their positions in the sky
It’s like their...
