Voyager (104 of 365)

Day 104 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day azimuth meaning: "the horizontal angle or direction of a compass bearing."

Voyager 

The stars are so vast and distant

I am a Captain

You are a supernova erupting

Beyond my finger tips

Beyond time 

The quasars pull you in

The impossible destination

I cross to reach you

Starward through cosmos 

Past milky galaxies and nebulae

Into interstellar space and beyond dimension and beyond form

And beyond comprehension 

And beyond gravity compression 

My love has the supreme gravitational vortex of a black hole

The centre of all your matter is drawn cloyingly and uncomfortably 

Claustrophobic onto me and upon me and inside of me 

And the stars are not enough 

And the Suns are sweet perfume and nectar and they are you

And I am lost in this purple pink fluorescent phosphorescent haze of brilliance and you are shimmering and erupting once more

And I am so close

But your smouldering super nova heat will consume me and

I feel my heart and soul and the stars burning apart

I feel the beautiful heat vaporising me

As your passion etches a deep eternal trough into the void 

Now I am forever burned into its tapestry and I am dust beside you

I am dust 

My celestial trajectory is ended and my azimuth is 

Commingled with you.
