It's been a while.

When celestial objects are slowly repelled out of orbit it is called Tidal acceleration and it is one of the saddest things.

The worst dreams aren't nightmares.

They are dreams about you.

Because when I wake up, you are still gone

And it feels exactly like having a phantom limb

Why Snooze Buttons Are Made

Why Snooze Buttons Are Made

In my wildest dreams I soar through the horizons the universe has to offer and come across a stellar nursery.

Photons zooming passed me, I watch in wonder as love is born in my heart in the form of stars.

I hitch a ride with the particles (or are they waves?) to each next great wonder.

To my left I can see black holes devouring red giants as nothing more than a delicacy. "How barbaric," I say to myself, "I love it."

To my right, pulsars that spin so fast they play music only my soul can understand and once again I am filled with the same warmth I experienced at the nursery.

Straight ahead I see that pale blue dot and I know that it means it is soon time to wake.

But I beg the particles to take me around one more time. "Please don't make me go," I say "for when I'm with you all of my problems they fade away."

But the buzzing of a clock tears through the stars like an obnoxiously drunken black hole that shatters my every thought as if it were angry with my constant dedication to sleep. "Just five more minutes." I hit the snooze button feeling the silent judgement from the clock.

"Can you blame me Mr. Clock? For when I am with the stars all of the sadness inside me just seems so far."

Hello strangers! My name is Michael Humphries for those of you who don't know me I am an Amature writer and astronomy enthusiast. Sorry for the long gap between my last few poems, I had been busy trying to keep my life in order. I moved from Chicago to Dallas because I met the love of my life and things that were important to me before were sort of left on the back burner... Thinking now about that fact, I'm sure if I had kept up with my traditions it might've saved my relationship from it's unfortunate end. Writing was a way for me to take all my terrible, and happy, and maniacal thoughts and share them with the world to find others quite like myself who were lost and feeling hopeless but needed something to relate to or possibly draw inspiration from. It's good to be back and writing again. Be sure to remind yourself that you and your happiness are important and you deserve nothing less than the world. I love you all. Take care -Michael
