[Anthile]

They will find us, in silence
Someday amongst the divine stars
Where no seasons rule

 

[Anthile]

Please dear Vogons
Put that planet out of my view
Can't stand it any longer

 

[Oblivious]

loveless observer
drifting through the endless space
none to whom unknown

 

[Oblivious]

around and around
haloes of eternity
falling forever

 

[Anthile]

Genetics in heaven
Please make me better that
They can look down on me

 

[Oblivious]

alien elegance
absence of joy or pain
true companion

 

[Oblivious]

sea of endless stars
sky of countless enemies
none of any worth

 

[Oblivious]

heavy is the hand
single gesture dooms a world
unknown to weakness

 

[Anthile]

No starship came to
Take us to the distant stars
The future is a mess

 

[loveofreason]

Callous stars shudder
Colour spectrum smears across
A portal in time

An Electric Soul

The Electric Soul

They stole the circuits
I wasn't able to protect myself
But now I am free

Soon I leave the house
A man made of best iron
Who am I now

As the only one
With adamantine eyes
I walk the dusty earth

I see humanity
Crying, laughing and dying
What iron cannot sense

I want to feel how
It is to be a human
Without nothingness

Then I meet three men
And their mischievious laughter
For I was not theirs

What do I have to do
I gently asked the men
To be one of you

You have no soul, fool
Is the answer and they
Start to dissemble me

Emotions spin so fast
At this destructive speed and
I feel so human

Clean my bloodstained blades
I spoil the precious riverbed
With body fluids and guilt

-

I see the abbey
Distant, behind the gloomy dawn
And mountains made of shame

On my way I meet
Two men, kneeling, eyes are closed
Hands clasped, meditating

Not seeing what I am
What are you doing there
I ask the naked monks

My child, he proudly speaks
We want to be like the machines
Emotions are what we condemn

Here I stand abashed
These fools want to be like me
The first time I laugh

I leave them alone
Finally I reach the abbey
Prepared to repent

One single man awaits me
I am the only one who is left
He gently speaks to me

You lack a human pulse
So what do you want from me
Pilgrim made of steel

You have no father
Your mother is just a factory
The lord gave you no soul

So I'm like your savior
Mundane mother, divine father
I bravely speak

But what do you want
When everyone left me here
And now this robot

Father, for I have sinned
Teach me to be a human
Please show me how

Alright, he simply says
Stay with me and let's see
If you have a soul​

-

Few years later my
Robotics survived his puny flesh
I lie in my room

Finally I found what
Was always there, here
In my own context

Deep inside me rests in
This heaven made of steel
An electric soul​

I was totally bored out of my mind today so I decided to write this epic non-sense poem in SciFaiku form. My first attempt ever to write poetry in English.
