Meteor Shower

The star smiled up upon me as if they knew I’d join them

Much past midnight, I sat Lotus style on the outcropping, a smooth spot I had found

I breathe in the crisp night air and exhale slowly the profound peace in developing my curious soul

They fell swiftly and in abundance, my ancestors the stars

Flowing so brilliantly against the deep black abyss

I lean back to recline and open fully to this...

Together.

The stars smiled upon us, as if they knew we’d join them soon.

A small smile spreads across my face even though the pain at my side has me shuddering.

Blood soaks my trembling hand as I reach down to see how much time I have left.

So much blood.

I keep my gaze ahead.

I’m lying on my back so my face is turned upwards towards the twinkling stars.

I feel him beside me, suffering the same fate. ...

Death Stars

The stars smiled upon us

As if they knew we’d soon join them

They did


The stars feast upon us

As if our screams fuel their hunger

They do


The stars soar across space

As if hunting for other worlds to consume

They are...

The Fight Of Life

The stars smiled at us

As if they knew we would join them

My flame of confidence burned

But now I only had a spark of hope

And hope is the only thing you need to survive

The blades clawed, scraped

I think the stars are right

But we, you

Can keep on the fight

Keep going and we _will_ win

That's the truth

I wish you hope :)...

Hole

The stars smiled upon us as if they knew we’d soon join them


Air still

Vibez tense

Stress immense

Cold sweats

Heavy breaths

Start to wonder is this death

Tightening around the chest

Voice can’t project

feels like a noose tightened around my neck

Start to question then reflect

Feelings of emptiness take effect

Nothing to do but accept

Stare at the stars realize I’m next

Another lost ...

The Stars Were Cruel

The stars smiled upon us

As if they knew we’d soon join them

The sun’ll cough us out

Chewed up and spat like phlegm


They were pretty tonight

All glistening and kind

But in truth they do us wrong

They make us future-blind


The end is near

The end is coming

So look up at the pretty sky

There’s no point in running


Where would we go

There’s no escape plan

Everything in vicinity, gone

Tis the end of...

Smile Shine Between The Dimmest Star

The stars gleam a silent promise with their gentle glow to find the light even in the darkest of nights .


Wrapped between a blanked of darkness , beside the shadows of doubts , don’t let the negativity shout .


Don’t let your smile waste away , your smile doesn’t have to always stay ; that doesn’t mean you should let the negativity play .


Let your smile change the word , don’t ever let the wo...

Loss

The stars smiled upon us

As if they knew we’d soon join them


I held you in my arms

Your innocent little face breaking my heart

A tear rolling down my face


Your little baby giggle making me second guess myself

But it was too late


The pavement got closer and closer

Oh I’ve never felt so free


Goodbye world

Hello stars, please care for my son in heaven...

That Stars Knew,They Have Always Known

The stars smiled upon us, as if they knew we would soon join them


But how they knew is the question I have to ask

How did they know that our lives were not to last


I mean, I knew I would be up there in the skies one day

I just figured it would be before I was turning grey 


I mean, they have been watching all of mankind from the moment we were born

So I guess they know when it is time for our...
