Community Starbound Rhyme / Poem Thread

I waver
at the edges
of the water
and wonder
do I cross floating
or do I dive under?
and the stars
reflected
on the surface
make me move
regardless of
this or that
for space
is everywhere
and whether
through
deep cold and vacuum
or through
crushing ocean depths
I will move,
I will find,
and I will win...

 

Picking flowers in the rain,
nobody will ever see my pain,
millions of pricks stabbing at your heart of steel,
only we know how it feels
to be a Glitch

(Not sure if this is a necro...)

 

A haiku I decided to make:

My leaders, they suck
I have narrowly escaped
My ship! It's broken!

 

Apex are preferred,
To these barbaric Florans.
Burn them to the ground...

Torture I prefer,
To be branded a traitor
Down with the rebellion.​

 

I'm just a regular human.
I never aspired to more.
But since our fair race,
has fallen from grace,
I've taken on chore after chore.

How should I know how to pilot a spaceship?
My dreams never reached past the moon.
Since that tentacled beast,
made my home world a feast,
I've been dancing to another tune.

I've mined out whole planets to bedrock.
My colonies thrive and grow strong.
My combative technique,
is a marvellous feat,
and my crew swells as more join the throng.

I'm now quite the critter-cap master.
My beasts are a sight to behold!
My utopia's lined,
with flowers sublime
and the streets are all rivers of gold.

So I've changed quite a lot in my ventures.
My dreams now soar out past the stars.
What seemed a typhoon,
was really a boon.
I'm a Star bounding human commissar.

 

A poem based on one of my characters

Coming to Terms with the Vast Loneliness of Space (and in your heart)

How many homes can one person have
before they can settle in?

Am I to finally take root in a foreign land
or remain forever on the wind?

My pack feel like strangers
I barely know who is who anymore

My friends on Earth were taken from me
by an ancient beast from the days of yore

I've look to the stars
They seem to see through me

It's as if they hope I continue on
and not waste an opportunity

Despite the excitement and intrigue,
I just can't escape this lonely feeling inside

After all, journeys aren't a lot of fun
if there's no one else along for the ride
