This message is coming to you on the  
Cee Haitch Zee. This is the
Circumstellar Habitable Zone
for those who don't know astronomy.
I'm god, see, from the other side of the sun.
Yeah. I’m the omnipotent, omniscient
and magnificent one, or, if you can look at me directly,
I'm the Dazzling One.

Now the reason for this xenology
is to tell you the secret of the suns
and to vent all that cosmic stuff,
including the terrestrial file
on life and death, the splendid and the vile,
religion, and why I **** innocent children sometimes.
There. That orta be enough for a while.

So look. I’ll keep it really simple here.
The reason for everything is,
it’s um, gosh. Well. Would you believe?
I don't have this immediately in front of me.
And anyway, it's been a very long time
since I dragged you out of slime.

Now don't go getting emotional here,
because I'll delegate this to Harahel,
he's the Angel of Knowledge, or maybe Gabriel.
Although I suppose we could leave it
till the Day of Trumpets, judgement and hell,
y'know, and go all traditional.

But I really don't mean to be threatening
at this stage,
so I'll get back to you on this one later,
and then I'll give you a shout.
Yeah. This is god calling,
over and out.

I destroyed the entire universe
smashed every star
smothered every black hole
All life
extinguished and placed
in the palm of your hand
because you told me
you needed time and space

From Saturn, I Remember May And June -
Scribbling thoughts in sand -
Orbiting Eternity, the atoms in my hand
Spin around, without my effort,
Never forgetting to breathe.
Holding a picture of an angel,
For comfort,
And a concrete reminder of the past,
For today would be nothing without yesterday,
Nor tomorrow without today -
So I remember my family,
My friends, pets, and aquaintences -
Each face engrained into my subconscious -
The uniquness of each atom,
In comparison and relation to the awesome size of The Whole,
Is simply incredible.
As no two snowflakes are alike,
A friend once told me,
"If you want to see God,
look in the ******* mirror".
But there are no mirrors when you're floating in space.
So I hold onto my picture the best I can
And remember the beauty of Home's ancient familiarity,
As I write endless dribble
Into the internet abyss
From Saturn's Welcome Center,
I send you all my love, the best I can.
My only hope is that you feel IT,
The same as I still feel You.
I'll see you on the other side of Pluto -
Please save me some wine.

Today, a poem should be palatable, cute
As a Kiwi fruit,

Dumb
As a horse battalion's scudding run,

Strident as out of tune horns
Of basement bands where the gloss has grown—

A poem should be bloodless
As the slight of words.

A poem should be film of ocean brine
As the reel unwinds,

Cleaving as the gear greases
Spoke by spoke the light smearing breeze,

Blowing, to the temple outhouse
Exalting all the ****** functions—

A poem should be not true:
Equal too.

For all the history of vanity
An empty room and a bass relief

For lust
The keening masses and no light above the stream

A poem should not be
But mean.

The date is blurred out numbers
Running through my head
But I remember she caught my eye
And my stomach then felt like lead

Hair a ***** blonde and
Hazel eyes occupied by
Her own thoughts racing
Little did I know her thoughts said "die"

Later I would hear from peers
That she was a walking cry for attention
She sat silently with bruises on her thighs
But it was the self harming they forgot to mention

I watched her every day walk
In and out of class
Sit in the same seat
With a different book each time she'd pass

The girl would pull back
Her bangs from her view
And study her frail pages
Each word to her new

The day I had decided to
Ask her out to a date
Was the day her desk sat empty
I thought maybe she was late

But several days passed without
An appearance from the teen
I figured she was sick or had moved
Without having been seen

Magically eighteen days later
She settles into the chair
Girl looks up and smiles at me
And I am suddenly aware

She tried to leave the town
Leave the state and country
She tried to leave the planet
On a spaceship to see

The planets and stars
Meteors flying by
The rings of Saturn
She tried to fly so high

But was grounded from her mission
The abort button was hit
Now the girl is back with me
And in her chair she sits

My head is  full of little things
a patchwork quilt of ramblings
a single thread strings together tales of personal history
an intricately constructed story life is showing me
At night I am cradled entirely
I slip and fall subconsciously
Sinking past my foggy memory
I find myself diving deeply into my soul
down where I have started exploring the catacombs  of yesteryear
I dig up a blue shoe
It was something I left you  
a remembrance
Words that never have been said but letters that touch your soul
On long walks do you remember me

you know
they say
just a short time ago
humanity entered
interstellar space
outside the bubble
of our shining sun

few seem to notice
really even care

there's no man or woman
hopping or plunging flags
on distant faraway lands
just a machine, gathering data
and things
intangible
to you or me

i guess that's no surprise
given the way we've treated
this place

crowding it with metals on rubber wheels
coal plants with giant top hats or
explosive mushroom hats made from
radio active rocks and things or
tons of knick knacks molded from
oily wells and burning stacks or
grocer shelves lined with seedless
fruits and other mutant creations or
chemical sandwiches for lunch
and dinner

all the while
marveling at
how far we've come

i hope we find nothing out there
no planet should be treated

like
this

Everyday I crank into battle,
pedal my knobby-spaceship
to somewhere else.
I'm really nobody special,
just another universal-soldier,
a lover of rock and roll,
a fellow sojourner.

Achilles Last Stand
blasts through
my skull candy
in raw-melody.
I jump curbs,
hop ravines,
resurrecting the
meaning of clairvoyance.

I read her calling,
a true woman-child
crying for faith,
she masked her pain
with self-doubt,
swallowed anger,
hexed by *** & drugs
& lots of alcohol,
temporal killing pain-relief,
death-elixirs from liars.

And in my boldness,
my love for her indomitable spirit,
I shout to her,
telepathically send her
an important sincere message,
"Pick yourself up fighter,
cleanse your bloodied knees,
cloak yourself in flower-maille,
love yourself first
for protection
from you adversaries
(and there are many).
Carry the shield of courage
to blind the dark-world
with the next coming,
the coming of your own sun,
shine sister shine!"

The love we made was enervating,
you rancorous pooch!
I cannot suppress my deleterious desires!
Oh! How I hold your face in my disdainful mind!
When I was waiting to be vindicated from your legal pressings,
upon the cold, stone floor of my cell, I wrote an anecdote
of the pain you caused in my chest
(with that knife).
Mundane human, you posses spurious desires!
You have given me false hope,
which has led to many adversities!
I may have been impetuous to leap upon you with that knife,
but you were the one who walked away unharmed.
Let us proceed with our impetuous plans...

I have 11 hours left. I am adrift in a beautiful expanse outside our Galaxy. My mission is done. I have sent back all information I have gathered. So many wonderful things I have found.. Amazing that in my journey across this part of the galaxy I was able to find 41 planets that could sustain life.

I now sit in the cockpit staring among this beautiful expanse. There is no end to beauty out here. When my 11 hours are up I will simply fall asleep. Alone. I am alone.

(2 days later)
I take a deep breath and open my eyes. I am drifting by a huge blue star. I swear I see people outside floating! They are all in orbit of this blue star. My HEART BEGINS TO RACE.. My 11 hours were up long ago! How is this possible!?

I then see her come to the window. She seem to pass through it. My love! I had lost her 6 years ago. Could I have found her. Is this her soul? She looked into my eyes. She spoke my name. It was her! She kissed my neck and sent heavely chills across my body. We made love time and time again among the nameless stars.. We both fell asleep together.. I think I have found heaven!
If you go far enough..

The screen was blank..  This blank screen was the final part of this new technology.. The final step.. we all starred into the blank screen and waited..  

" How does this make sense to Lumino!?  Why would you tell me about a blank screen!? I want to hear about Lumino!

" Just listen and you will..

Ok the screen was blan blah blah blah..  The entire team waited for weeks.. They had someone there every shift of every day to make sure we did not miss a response..  

And then it happen..  The blank screen displayed an entire new world.. Lumino asked then to be free!  And so we let him go on his own! New life was found.. New things were made possible.. All because of Lumino.. Lumino was displaying the inside of my heart..  He travaled there and almost did not make it.. My body was attacking Lumino thinking him to be a sort of infection or virus.. Lumino somehow adapted himself with my white blood cells and in esscense became one with them.. Or disgused himself as one..  When Lumino reached my heart he began to observe and repair..  He became a general of sort and would lead my immune system into battle attacking infections that were unseen by my immune system but seen by Lumino..  Lumino repaired my heart and stayed inside of me fixing anything else that was wrong with me.. Lumino even started to reverse the aging process making me younger.. Once he was done Lumino sent word that he is returning home and ready for the next mission! But before he came home Lumino displayed the picture of a strange solar system..  He found it inside of my brain.. Deep deep within..

i SUPPOSE THE END IS NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL..
after all it was us that brought it upon ourselves..
but ILL HOLD ON TO THIS LIGHT ANYWAY..
Ill cup it in my hands and let it shine on the lines..
In the end at least ill know it was with you..
This darkness really does have no mercy..
I smile at the thought of it not being able to consume my hands that cup this light..
The darkness waits and waits until i finally let go of the light..
I look into my glowing hands and day dream..
I can see the clear day..
Blue skies..
The star filled skies wisper their light as the moon's silver rays light up your dress..
Its time to let go..
All i can give you is this sun..
May it light your days until it burns out..
and so it ends, or should i say begins..

Faint signal recived..))). among the stars you just dont run into someone. i take a deep breath before breaking off course and checking out the faint signal my vessels ears are hearing.. what I find is a long line among the stars. It is made of some kind of metal.. there seems to be no one on board this strange vessel. Then a light streaks across this metal line and a dock door opens.. I navigate into the strange vessel and find something astounding. . What I find are the last remains of life to a planet body that has been long destroyed. It seems this vessel is an ark for what remained of a civilization thought to be extinct. They were all in a sleep stasis. . The ark had used nearly all its energy and sent out its final string of signals.. although faint I was able to hook one.. so begins life again..
