ABSENT EXPLORERS
The corridors are empty
A dead ship in a black sea
Blinking buttons of computers
Pierce the dark of the bridge
They never should have landed
On the stormy planet red
Never did understand
What burned in their veins
One by one they fell
Traveling to the planet blue
Carrying with them the cursed air
To a civilization they never knew

This is a poem that I wrote in high school. Been feeling nostalgic today.
I like it. Great imagery. Reminds me of War of the Worlds.
I appreciate that. I dont consider myself a poet by any stretch, but I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
I don’t think of myself as much of a poet either, but sometimes there’s a poem in there that just needs to get out!
Right? To me, it felt more like a short story.
Thank you kindly
