Spaceman
By beamish
Moonlight rush of self disgust.
It's a shame to proclaim my dislike for myself
The star seem so far the light still so bright
But the burn can't be felt the warmth leaves no welts
I long for the moment when the songs sing to me
The man in the suit with glowing eyes sets me free
From where he came to where he goes
Is he God-does anyone know
But I shake his hand man to man
He floats away and I live another day
but free this time-was it his or my mind
Whatever the cost or the cause the mighty spaceman frees us all as long
as we listen
The mind is a game and only the mind is to blame so dance the joke
Join the man of the clouds float away and never look back forget yesterday
and ignore tomorrow
The death of life won't take its bite if your running faster than its teeth
and its feet

Bowie indeed, there's a starman waiting in the sky.. this speaks to me of escape, of dreams and the final release itself..it's somber yet soulful and dreamy.. the opening 2 lines are great, reels you right in. enjoyed.

Shades to Bowie exist here. At least, that's what I take from this. A very poignant write. Keep it up. "A Space Man is what they say I am!"

Interesting enchanting poem.I enjoyed it's hauntingly strange subtlety and abstractly coherent rhythmic composure. - Å’
