Captain's Goodbye

Captain's Goodbye

A Poem by Miguel






























Goodbye Earth and love of mine

I’m taking a ship out of this galaxy

I’m going past the atmospheric line

So we, my love, may never see

I want you to know before I go

That I won’t forget you

Maybe I’ll die in the galactic flow

Just another face in a missing crew

Maybe you’ll catch a signal that I send through outer space

Saying that I miss you and that I want to see your face

Or maybe when you’re old and you’ve found another guy

You’ll receive my coded message that’s been drifting through the sky

Telling you that I’ve found signs of life among the stars

Worlds beyond the nebulae, the asteroids, the quasars

But I will never find a love like you, my dear



Not in any planet’s atmosphere.

salamat po :)
The picture you posted really helped bring the magic out. I love space so much and anytime space is mentioned i think of Julian lennon and his song "space". I guarantee that this poem will go through my dreams!

Ha, thank you. :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful. This is the first poem I would consider simply gorgeous to read, as well as possessing very rich language. The rhyme scheme works, and although I enjoy prose more I did enjoy this very much. This is a very influential love poem and the way you have laid it out, is very effective. What is the origin of the picture?
Great job.
