Amongst Stellar Remnants
Here at the end of creation
Stars long cold, dead remnants
Such grandeur in emptiness
Such splendour in darkness
Photons die and light fades
Corpses of worlds decay
Black holes evaporate
Energy dissipates
Expanding without end
Majestic nothingness
Entirely meaningless
Cold spacetime and heat death
Ancient galaxies dying, vanishing
Light gone, perfect night
All gone, all that’s left is time
Time and space
And emptiness
And hopelessness
And nothingness

A Tragedy in Starlight

A Tragedy in Starlight
Our sun is dead
Our world is dead
Darkness descends
Our words left unsaid
Our home is gone
Our hope is gone
Our songs unsung
And our dreams undone
Extinction, damnation
This world is a grave
All life, all love
All history erased
Here then gone, all but forgotten
Dust we are, fading to nothing

Dimensionless Blackness

Dimensionless Blackness
Supermassive, I devour suns
Hopeless blackness, light’s extinction
I am the nucleus, god of the galaxy
Nothing can escape my crushing gravity
Dimensionless, here I reign above all
Emotionless, insatiate, eternal
Curvature infinite, all who fall become one with me
Featureless and supreme, I am all – galactic tyranny

Ghostly Soliloquies

Ghostly Soliloquies
Exiled to the stars - cold and lost
Haunting this lifeless void
Sorrow in our hearts - all is loss
All we once were, destroyed
Faint as ghosts – here we dwell
Shadows without a sun
No repose - cosmic hell
Nearing oblivion
Endless blackness, bereaved and forlorn
Dismal, wistful, grieving forevermore
Unending suffering in memory
A night without dawn
Where all our hope is gone
As our dreams decay
Of a new home far away
Trajectories unknown
Despairing and alone
Ghostly soliloquies
In starry reverie
Light forever gone
Our end has begun
Embracing demise
At one with the night sky

Of Longing Spirit and Infinite Solitude
Old and lifeless skies
Cold and black is the night
Vast silence abounds
Here in emptiness drowned
Scream into darkness
No one there to hear us
No sign or echo
So alone here below
Stars uncountable
Our hopes unfulfilled
Ever lone and forlorn
Dreams of equals, stillborn
Cosmic silence - barren is the throne
Aching absence - cursed and forever alone
Long have we yearned
for kindred minds elsewhere
Long have we sought
Nought to find but despair
Ascending to the stars
Down to earth we’ve cast god
Masters of our fate
Our longing spirit cries
Wails beneath starry skies
But all is empty space

Spiral Arms Like Swirling Rivers
Cold lights in the dark
Arms adorned with stars
Aglow in the night
Rivers filled with starlight
Gaze up to the sky
Heavens deified
Tales of creation
Gods and constellations
Tremble, worship, revere the night sky
Astral tyrant of the night
The winter way gleaming bright
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers
Spiral arms like rivers in the night

Earthbound

Earthbound
Light-years away, distance so great
Visions of space, out of reach
Ever earthbound, kings with no crown
Longing profound, life so brief
Born to this Earth
Of dust and dirt
Here cursed to die
Dreaming of the night sky
Interstellar aspirations
Yet still affixed to the ground
Solar system still our prison
Near-earth orbit, looking down
Ever wanderers, ever pioneers
Long we have lingered on cosmic shores
Time to leave this earth, time to set our sails
Time to embark, ever to explore
Worlds are waiting beyond the clouds
Liberating – nevermore earthbound
