well

i

suppose

that

the

stars

can

be

sad

too

look

at

them

fade

then

come

back

they

know

theyre

needed

why

didnt

you?

the aching digs deep

into my soul

filling nights with

cravings of your touch

that drips honey

from the pages of my skin

& suddenly you create a

golden glaze on my skin

the color of earth

mixing what is meant to be mixed

creating what has been waiting to be created

<center>a glimpse<br>backward & forward<br>métrage<br>of Consciousness inflating<br> what Reality shall compress<br>rewinding our constructs<br>molecule by molecule<br>till no longer defined<br>neither as Quest,<br>nor Question,<br>just parting<br>in our Sea<br>of <br>Eternity</center>

#SpaceChallenge

There are 77,358 square miles in the boring state of ours,

3.797 million square miles in this country of freedom,

196.9 million square miles on this sphere I shall never leave,

and 46.6 billion light years in the universe I will never travel.

But yet, there should be no space between us.

Lips on lips,

Bodys touching,

pushed into each other,

legs tangled,

fingers interlaced.

No Space

Out of the unlimited space we have in this world,

none should be between us.

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

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.

The final frontier?

Or just the begining?

My favorite space is

the one between

my ears

My least favorite space

is the one

between you and I

Please give me space

No less than 1 foot

all around

lest I think you are

a pickpocket

or worse!

I love two spaces

after periods

But only need one

for parking

And don't you dare

impregnate my pause

Some spaces are meant

to be held

no matter how awkward

#Challenge #Space

stars blanket a sky that appears nearly

empty when viewed with the human eye

but beyond the realm of corneal vision

a world of wonders and beauty dazzle

in the world of the infinite beyond.

planets and moons decorate the long,

fluid legs of galaxies that spiral in a

delicate dance, while nebulas paint the

sky with colors: red, blue, purple;

canvasing the astral landscape in a palette

of beauty and mystique
