Space Poetry

A Wasteland of Beauty

shimmering stars
as far as the eye can see
raging sun invades the night 
colossal craters scattered across  planets

darkness
engulfs me like a warm blanket
black holes stealing stars
sweltering mars like an infinite desert 

determined rockets hurtle into the abyss
mysterious  creatures scuttle across earth

space 
a wasteland of beauty

Aliens

I saw the glimmering moon 
shiny in my glass eyes. 
The night sky is mesmerising 
black holes sucking things into the dark pit.
The galaxy is wonderful…

But… I have a few questions about aliens.

Are aliens real? 
If so are they grey or white?
Are aliens humanoid or big fat blobs? 
Are there other species of aliens?
Where do get aliens food? 
Maybe they come to earth and get grape jelly.

Space to Earth 

Glistening oorte cloud
 and a child's teary eye

Deep black hole 
and a mysterious forest night

Multicolored  supernova 
and a hypnotising tv screen 

Fiery neutron star pair
and rage filled eyes

Sprinting stars
and a child racing in the moist morning  field

My Spacey Memory

Dangerous Jupiter just in sight
Spinning meteorite plummeting to earth

Multi-coloured Saturn chatting to friends
Freezing Pluto, an icy freezer

Twinkling stars, hot like lava
Fiery sun burning like an oven

Greedy black hole slurping up light 
Glowing eclipse, mysterious in the sky

This memory plastered in my head 
Forever.

Space as We Know it           

The shining moon like glittering art 
Saves us in the night like a hero’s heart 
Microscopic Mercury, shining bright
Orbiting the sun, a spinning light.
Sweltering Venus whirls like her twin,
Through the blank sea of night she gracefully swims.                                                            

But far away I glimpse the soul          
Of a sucking, massive jet black hole.
No matter how they shine today
In the end, they’ll be sucked away

Bright Sun, 
burning like fire

rocky Mercury, 
tiny like an ant

a globular cluster,
 like a shiny disco ball

sparkly Ganymede
black and yellow like a bee

the mini pulsar 
shaped like a friendly stingray

Boiling Venus as hot as lava
and clouds as thick as 
a dictionary
