My Published Poem: Souler Systems
This is the poem that I had published in "Star Gazing" a collection of poems about the sky at night. I remember receiving the royalties-a massive 65pence!
Souler SystemsVelvet Dome Bejewelled with lightInfinite mystery of obsidian night Utopian future in future's womb From star to star we'll zoom A fiery arc of comet's trail and graceful planets sail Around majestic, life giving star So dazzling! Brilliant! And yet so far It seems to us like a speck of light A sparkling sequin on blanket night. Oh woman moon! Your melody Of silent sweetness and remedy Uplifts the soul.. And the lands below are all aglow with frosty silver enchantment. As benign splendour of starry skies -unblinking compassionate angel eyes- uplift the souls of some, An earthly beauty doth captivate my senses... And will break my heart before she is done.
