Long Lost Galaxies

Artstack Poetry haul

For the second Poetry haul created by

ARTSTACK

, we were to choose all or some words from the following list: missing, wish, blame, gem, lost, long, phenomenal, crime, history, and interstellar. The word that jumped out to me was interstellar and so, my poem’s focal point is just that. I used eight out of the ten words. Let me know what you think🌻

.:Thank you for taking the time to listen to my heart:.

____________

Long lost galaxies hold 
missing gems.
I’m propelled into orbit. 

Interstellar travel
through the cosmos
by way of stardust.

Light waves polarized 
bounced off objects. 
Swirl around the Milky Way.
A billion stars we cannot see.

Magnetic fields missing 
the history of your smile.

Blame it on the meteor showers.

Send my wishes through celestial bodies,
so history doesn’t repeat its heartbreak.

Break barriers bound for bliss.
Your eyes are long lost gems.

I’ll spend lifetimes traveling through 
the galaxies of my mind to find them.
