I've always wanted to be an astronaut

The touch of cool skin
Saturn Rings
Mercury rising over Venus' thigh
Icarus high
Melting wax wings on cold nebulous flesh

Fresh Touch
Awakened dreams over I lie in bed
With his arm over me pinning me solid
Milky Way Smooth
Feel of him beside

I've always wanted to be an astronaut

The great taste of rocketships still reside
In real-time light-speedy love
His breathing the slow repeating collapse of a star
Unmarred and Perfect
Galactic spinning lovely brown eyes

Clear and Present
In love with the sky
My solar system guy
Exploring and treating with any good respect
Like a favourable conquest

New Quest
Everyday With
Searching our homeworld together within
Filling the Blackness
With Memories

The countdown's begun, starting again
I'll discover new traces of life
in each face he'll make
When I tell him my dreams
Have finally come true

I am an Astronaut

I've always wanted to be an astronaut

A GREAT READ and a wonderful dream. I loved it and had fun reading it. Took me back to my dreams that I have long forgotten.

Welcome to Passions, Gavin.  High aspirations...and a hero in the making...

perhaps, someday, you'll be just that.

(sigh) I think we all dream to be astronauts of this sort, swimming in the stars, and I feel as though God is always helping us to see through the telescope destinies we lay before us knowing they can exist and do exist! This is a gorgeous debut, I LOVE IT!!! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
