Spacewrecked

Spacewrecked

A Poem by William Michael Reeves
"

Sci-fi rhyme time twisting into a tale of terror!

"
For great exploration
I was hurled
With the help of fusion
To an alien world.

Through the confusion
My mind in a fog
The end of a mission
I now must log.

At first it was fun
All systems were go
Far from my sun
Space I would know!

Then gravitation
From an unknown source
Made my ship run
Way off course.

Downward I spun
My life in God's cradle
Fear and desperation
Death inevitable!

So in violation
Of value and more
A pact with Satan
We both did score.

That for my life won
In exchange for my soul
Humanity I must shun
Eternally in a black hole.

Now I dream of a liaison
With family and friend
My woman and son
Love I wish I could send.

How I long for the sun
Of memories past
Deadly deeds now done
The mold now cast!
