Life is just a joke,
And if you take it too seriously,
The joke is on you.

There is a moment
When the stars align

Every morning
Sun promises us
Of warmth

Every night
Moon comforts saying
Let it be

Turn off
The lights
Genre: Experimental
Theme: For it's true

Is it truly vanity
to not settle for the mundane?
I want to drink the champagne stars
hold the Moon in my arms,
kiss the Sun in all his glory
have the Night fall in love with me.
You call me insane
for not wanting to be contained,
for wanting to swim in the sea
of the universe
for wanting to speak
the language of the cosmos.
Why should I have to explain
the need to slide down a rainbow,
for wanting to swallow planets whole
and become celestial,
that yearning to immerse myself
in all that is strange and wonderful.
Inspired by "Drops of Jupiter."

Nothing feels like home;
Home is where I  AM.
Home is my heart
to dwell in this dream
called reality.

As I’m standing at the balcony
While the city is asleep,
I’m the part of cosmos’ alchemy,
Facing meaning of the deep.

I’m not lonely in such atmosphere,
No need longing for the speech
As I feel all struggles disappear
While my mind is getting rich.
~
Oh the nighttime
Oh the light moon
Can’t forget you
Felt the wind blew
Made that vibe due

I don’t really know how to name and type it as it meant to be the song and now I am thinking of it as a ballad or rhyming poem.

As the night grows darker,
Deeper go into the abyss I.
Circling thoughts of past
Threads of the future unknown
Fused with the time of present
Deeper go into the abyss I.

My eyes sees the journey through,
Oh how my body it grows.
Gliding over the blankness I go,
The soul reaching out to cosmos.

Scatters my body to particles infinite,
As I cover the distance in the dark of night.
Chasing the dark with the speed of light,
Deeper go into the abyss I.
I wrote this while traveling via train and looking outside in the dark and reading cosmos.

Time slows down as per my humble request
Pure water drips from a foreign planet's geyser
Onto thirsty lips

Three moons rise
At that rare moment when a sun sits paralell
Peaceful dawn
Feet on greener lawns
My broken mind breaks the silence
When I tell you I love you more than a mountain loves to peak
More than flames love to destroy
More than a body loves an R E M state
We sit and mourn the darker days for a second or two
For their bright shards meant something too
Went to just as many funerals as weddings
I've seen families reunite on the same days a genocide makes headlines
For every breakdown, the next day was a resolution
For every ellipsis you read on my face
Another day I won't shut up
. . .
I'll stay here a while
I'll stay for another century
Not coming back to Earth
When the only thing waiting is a nuclear cavalry
And touch screens leaking dopamine
I know perfection is a myth
But when you tell its story
I believe
And sleep in a hammock hanging between the letters of your
"World'__'peace, one day."
Quote turned to decibels turned to hope
I taste it when we kiss

You reach out a hand when I drift
But I'm coming back
Even when coming apart
I'm always coming back.

The sun must be very lonely
The moon has all the stars of the night sky for company
I have much in common with the sun
The sun has to rise everyday all alone
Shine bright so not as to show its weakness
Pouring out endless waves of warmth and light
An instigator of growth and life
Always in someone’s eye craving attention
Some people can’t handle our intensity
We are too bright
People celebrate as the sun leaves the party and gives way to the moon
People curse to see us in the morning, always too soon
Always too excited to be here
They don’t want us to go but never seem happy that we show up or stay.

She is a star
crushing under the weight
of yourself and everything around you.
She devours my light-
it breaks and bends to her will.
Nothing can escape your grasp,
your gaze or your touch.
The force of you is what
always repulsed me.

i floated through your cosmos.
touching every star, every rock, every planet, even the pieces of wandering debris.
i liked yours much better than mine.
the pressure that always used to be in my head was no longer.
i looked at you and i looked at all of this and i could swear i heard a voice telling me to stay.
to stay for a little longer,
that i didn't have to let go.

so i didn't.
i held on tighter to you,
to all of this.
the stardust hugged us and we felt whole.
we danced with the stars and spun the planets ourselves.
we floated through Our cosmos.
loving and living as one.
