Ocean Of Stars Poem by Tyler Smith

Ocean Of Stars

Rating: 2.0


As I drift through space alone,
I hear a man yell over the radio,
“It'll be ok! ”
I click the radio off,
Because I know better.

I sigh contently and twist my body slightly
To try and capture this panorama of beauty
In my last minutes.
This is what I have been waiting
My whole life for.

The luminescent sun flares brilliantly,
And the lambent stars glow
Three times as effulgent
Than they ever will
On the clearest, most perfect night.
I start to form constellations in my head.
I even create one of you.

I hear a beep,
And a woman’s robotic
Voice say “low oxygen.”
I don’t care. My only regret
Is that you aren't here
With me. My tears start
To stream down my face
As I remember you.
I am so alone.

But now, in this ocean of stars,
I will be with you forever.

Whoo-wee! ! ! ! ! Think it's long enough? ? ? Check out first stanza: 'repelled' that means to go away. The man came on the radio as if expecting a panamoniom to break out. Slow down, mo-jo! ! ! A lot of big words is terrible on my petite (center of invertebrate nervous system) brain. lol Big words make me think; we're SENIORS we shouldn't be made to think! ! ! ! ........................wow........................you killed him. Not a bad idea. Take the easy road out, don't have to worry about him, but now you made a mistake. The reader is now thinking about the girl. What's up with her? Did she die? Did she divorce/broke up with him? ? ? Sheesh! ! ! ! Forever is just too long of a time, make it an eternity and it's longer ^.^ lol
