Array ( [sid] => 28173 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Facade of Space [time] => 2003-11-28 21:47:01 [hometext] => This one is by request for someone, you know who you are. [bodytext] => The shining stars emerge at night
From Earth they are just points of light
Constellations from patterns born
From lion's mane to Taurus' horn

Sirius rules all of the night
Resting high above, burning bright
The North Star guides and never rests
Engulfs the dark that it arrests

The evening star Hesperus
Sears with the heat of Erebus
Radiance breaks the cold night air
Lights piercing through from heaven's lair

Connect the parts of Cepheus
Or crushing claws of Scorpius
See Draco's fire breath attack
watch Phoenix rise from ashes black

Menacing Hydra swims nearby
Lupus howls at black blanket skies
With beauty white Columba glides
On shadow air Auriga rides

Aries' horns are hewn from pure bone
Illumined Crux marks southern zone
The grace of Cygnus is sublime
They'll all pray at Ara in time

Half man Centaurus gallops through
Sweet Virgo is reborn anew
Monocerous majestic stands
The wings of Aquila expand

All the glitz hides the horrendous wonder
Of the infinite black reaches of the vastness of space

The stars and sky are all a lie fabricated to hide
What lies beyond the spurious beauty of the face

Fiery Sun the center piece
Feel the pummelling heat increase
Mercury is the closest in
Love goddess Venus lives in sin

Tiny Pluto too far to reach
The planet Earth is a life leach
Titan Jupiter looms nearby
Four satellites filling it's sky

But what is there we cannot see
Living in this small galaxy
A grain of sand on a vast beach
I must have what's beyond my reach

What other forms of life exist
Shrouded in outer space dark mist
What other horrors live therein
What strange events will soon begin

All the glitz hides the horrendous wonder
Of the infinite black reaches of the vastness of space

The stars and sky are all a lie fabricated to hide
What lies beyond the spurious beauty of the face

Violent vortex spins swiftly
An unexplained anomaly
Consuming all, even starlight
Black cyclone on a path of blight

The Aurora Borealis
Northern lights beaming prismatic
Asteroid field hurling through sky
Striking planets, making them die

In the distance a hazy fog
A nebula like a thick bog
A gaseous cloud of poison smoke
Or a star group in sullen cloak

Shooting through as an icy hail
The comet with it's tiictured tail
Frozen solid but scorching hot
A glacial flame travelling non stop

Pulling force of magnetic belt
The strength of the tenth planet's felt
Moon counters sun and causes waves
These tides of time are what I crave

Time is changing
Sky is morphing
Couds are forming
Lightning forking

Turbulent night begins to race
Drawing up the curtains of space
One by one all the stars nova
Leaving the true darkness above

The hands of doom begin to tick
The wall of space falls brick by brick
My hourglass is running low
Destruction of the thin time flow

True outer space is now exposed
The timeless zone has now arose
A thousand toothed monster draws near
The chaos dimension is here

Lakes of fire burning around
Huge walls of pain are coming down
God is sitting there on his throne
The reaper rules his hall of bone

Abaddon enforces the pain
His magic spells bring acid rain
Notion of beauty is humbled
The facade of space has crumbled

...Deceptive beauty
...Good and evil
...Hand in hand

Facade of Space

You have great knowledge of the universe and you use it like an artist on canvas...
This kind of work should be in a special section of YPDC...It is great..

Hmn. I don't know how I've missed this one so far . . . how can I describe the way this makes me feel?

I'll start with 'awed'. Yes, that's the word.

Then, 'deeply impressed', then ending up (after skipping several more) with truly inspired.
"Huge walls of pain are coming down" - made the title complete.
Poetically, this isn't your best, but visually - its as grand a spectacle as anyone's likely to have portrayed for them in here, or any other poetry site, for that matter.
