I am the shining star you so adore
Giving you light in your darkest hours
Light years away you cannot see
That I am long dead

I am Eta Carinae
(A voice(s) Crying Out For Help In The Wilderness 1843)

I, Eta Argus; mature beauty, sharp body, Norse Viking strength. Eta Car B., Fahrenheit halo 27 Kelvin combine eyes, gentle smile, titillating eos lights.

Infatuated some were of our exquisiteness “O please I beg, come to our gatherings.” drooling fiends, hypnotized by flesh.
The competing envious empty heart uttered constantly “Ooo (mournfully saying) who invited them? I despise their appearance and the internal ripping response I feel. Quick, craft me into their image.” (Mad Scientific Curse in Effect).

Born in a twinkling of an eye with two purposes:
1. To be looked upon in history by the Earth dwellers 7,500 light-years away.
2. To be loved by the surrounding stars and spoken of continually Paparazzi
Following, lighting flashing as we walk the black carpet Milky Way streets of Space.

I, the eldest to breathe and Eta Car B. following seconds after me. Beautification modification of our faces and skin we need not. All goals flowing, smooth streams, the winds pushing towards our direction, matter and energy not leaving our celestial bodies.
Space black oasis, Astro grey falcons and blue Stardust seagulls flying by.

Father Paradox came, agent for hire (Dark Web), black site located (Behemoth Black Hole).
Harmony stolen, paradise lost, deceived by a flying white Serpent as we ate from his garden, his wisdom poisoning our minds.

He said, “ Eta Argus and Eta Car B., though sound navigates slower in the vacuum of space (facts), word has travelled to me of your palpitating radiance, unreproducible unidentified highlights but you both lack one thing.”
“WHAT? What is it?” we said, unaware of the installation of 4 prong hooks being gouged into our mouths and minds.
“A means for everyone to witness your beauty and to claim the title of being the brightest stars in the Forever Expanding Sky.” he deceitfully said with a wicked decrepit yellowish grin he sustained. Empty sockets, cornea he had not nor an iris or lens.

“Do tell and how to claim.” I said. “By drawing near. By holding each other's hand.” “I do not study the Laws of Nebula, but a wise star that was passing by warned against drawing too near. Unspeakable things it may cause.” I stated.
“LIES! MYTHS!.Outdated thinking. They hate change and seek to hold you from your true potential.” Father Paradox emotionally worked up.

Both now walking towards each other in space “He lies not. We’re getting brighter Sister!” Eta Car B. ecstatically said. I lifted my left arm and stretch my fingers out to touch my sister's glowing hand, Then immediately it started happening. Unnatural blending, DNA files being corrupted and cells scattered from east to west. “Sister! SuperNova! (Dying in other words) Please, make it stop!” Car B. shouted.

Deep screams for help in the dark, but no one answers the call. Deep breathing gasping for air, fighting the drowning into each other's heart (Core) but to no avail. Then I stop panicking and accepted my fate and said “Im sorry sister. I failed you.” “No, I should have been your second pair of eyes and played devil's advocate, resisting Father Paradox. We failed each other, blinded by internal hunger and fame.”

All our neighbours opened their eyes to witness the consolidation stellar collision.
“See honey, do not trust strangers who entertain dark dreams. Beautiful are their words. For in the end, it is you that they want to undo.” I heard a mother say to her two moon orbiting daughters.

The grasp of space expands, the seer
Holds my own pleasures, my frigid frights
Despite galaxies tasted, I still feel near
To Alpha Centauri, and your blue world's sight
But hide me away, beneath milky waves
For my shame could span a system twice
In Sirius' twilight, I'll spend my days
Away from my dearest darling

My dear Virgo, if I could tell you my pain
Of speaking in tongues that shake death’s hand
Then I would still be holding you in the rain
But now, rain is small, and the void is grand
From the rings of Jupiter, is this apology much?
Because now, I am drifting farther away
Distracted by the likes of explosions and such
I must keep my sins lost in the skybay

These ventures, I will scream of, to the cherry beyond
Of saccharine sights and flavourful dreams!
For surely, no soul knows what's going on
In the falls of Carinae, it’s as beautiful as it seems
Here, it is bliss to wither away
This is not light and I do not sing
I am silent amidst waning supernovae
Vague senses of sinister, near Andromeda's ring

A beautiful lie it is, the Pillars of Creation
For they have crumbled millennia ago
My beautiful sunset, unseen causation
Dead for a time, before you have grown
Hell will break loose in your sky
And that world will know what beauty brings
I have been left to the twilight's *****
Now, I tire of looking at dead things

Dead things before, dead things again
Galaxies will collide anew
I tire of the cosmos repeating in vain
Along the tides of space, shall I come back to you?
I send you this postcard from GN-z11 
How have you been? How have you aged?
Have you missed me, as I dangled in havens
Or did time miss me only for a day?

It does not matter, I'm coming home!
I will shed my wings in due delight!
I believe I will adjust to your blue dome
The universe, finally away from sight
No more will I be a valiant flea
A simple life, I'd love with you
A yellow hut, rested by the sea
Skipping with my sunshine, on a bayou

Dearest Virgo, we will look at the stars
We will see dead things, and they'll twinkle in your eyes
I'll speak of light, talk of galaxies afar
And we can laugh about how we are mice
I’ll look up and test the waters
And it will remain a lustrous view
Ominous as it is, in a perennial saunter
I would not miss such bliss, for then, I'd miss you

Across the galaxy, I'll make my way back
You will be waiting, as I find beaten tracks
I'll ask, "could the universe love me as much as you do?"
You'll say, "alien, my love is only of truth."

Rattle on
And do so backwards
In the insular hole
Strangle lo’
To and fro, in herds
Build for me a pole

Wail along
And do so sweetly
In my crooked glyphs
Sail strong
To lands discreetly
A flintlock at your hip

Walk across
And do so sideways
In a tiled oasis
Count the cost,
To hands that play
Deal out epistasis

Swim away
And do so upwards
In a veiled monsoon
Drown the day
In Carinae
Seek its vagrant moon

somewhere,
in a dissimilar world,
you love me so much
that my air becomes yours
your hand quivers when you're holding mine, showing how afraid you are to lose your grip of it

your everyday decisions are made for my convenience,
your "i love yous" are inserted in long paragraphs of your messages,
and your actions show what you're shy to admit

somewhere,
maybe in a different time,
your love is overflowing,
your eyes are so focused on me
that your gaze proves how much you want what you see

your consistency is what keeps us alive
your promises are beautifully made and done
and your unwavering acts of love
are my own kind of guarantee

when you see me thinking, perhaps i am worried about the cosmos
and the eventual explosion of eta carinae
or maybe
black holes defying physics and swallowing light
sometimes im pondering
the destruction of the atmospbere due to
gamma ray bursts
and the radiation left over from the cosmic microwave background
however,
what i spend most of my time thinking about is perhaps the most beautiful form of destruction of all time:
you.
If your his-story
Were laundered
On the public square,
Extracting dirt and lie

Then hung out to dry
For all to see

Would you claim it?

Or would you deny
Those black-eyed holes
Glaring
From your wife-beaters...

Shards of glass
Sparkling
From your backyard....

Skulls and bones
Cackling
From your closet...

Projecting only
Those glossy golden eggs
Like cliff the eta carinae
From st luke's
In the village

'til those cluckin' hens came home...

As the skies go filled with darkness;
You are always stucked on my mind.
Thinking of a love that is ruthless,
Yet, a love that is surely one of a kind.

Can you help me, Zeus?,
The strongest God from above.
Because I don't wanna lose,
In a battle called "love".

Can you help me, Cupid?
This may sound stupid,
But I just want to hold your hand
Until the blazing time when you're gone.

Can you help me, Eta Carinae?
I just want to witness your rays;
Or to have just one dance,
Or maybe just to meet you even once.

Those dazzling eyes of yours,
My strength and energy source.
You make my heart skip a beat,
And my night complete.

I haven't met you,
I never did and I will never got the chance.
Because you always leave without any clue,
On how am I supposed to take some glance.

All I want is to see your smile,
To hear your laugh,
And to witness how you shine.

But I can't.

Midnight time setting us apart,
Time that keeps on breaking my heart.
Why can't you just be mine?
And just let our hearts intertwine.

I keep on wishing that I will meet you,
Or even just reach you.

Million of diameters between us,
Keeping you and me as anonymous.
Thoughts that maybe you're not the one,
But please stay beside me, Mr. Sun.

— The End —
