Inner Space

A flash of anger, rains of sorrow,
Black holes that drain you hollow;
Inner space unexplored inviting
Turmoil, irresistible unending.

Comets of fury shower at will,
Space and time are relative.
Bright new stars born to die,
A death so gruesome;
Its dust remains as hope scattered.

Not many ships dare to tread,
This wilderness beckoning to be revealed.
A multitude of stars adorn the path,
Like beacons of love guiding the way,
For a painful probe into its mysteries,
Welcomed and loathed in the same breath.

The sun and moon betray the earth,
Eclipsing each other at intervals,
Robbed of light the earth is veiled in a gloom;
It cannot defy either of them.
Indebted forever for the light they give,
The earth goes around them devoted.
Sometimes her tears enrich her fields,
Sometimes it drowns her seeds.

More meteors have scarred Venus than earth,
Her beauty is an illusion; her grace a myth.
Many are the mirages that vanish,
When you venture in for a closer look.
