black    hole    lover 

you are 

and I, 

a prisoner in your event horizon

an astral point of no return

finds us trapped in perpetuum-

two captive hearts

wildly beating

                                  out of sync

time warps, distorts-

cosmic love strings

unravel, become frayed

beyond repair-

despair

just as the universe

expands and contracts

with    entropy    in view

so too our love-

white hot then space   cold

destined to spiral into

irresistible chaos


A    prisoner    I am 

in your

salaciously spun silken    web

and you

the    black widow

enticing me, luring me

until at last I am at your

mercy

pleasure and pain make for an 

alchemic, euphoric mix

but     prey    will always be 

devoured in the end-

evil fangs penetrate 

my flesh

the poison in my blood

entrenched

delirium before    demise

still, with my 

dying breath 

I whisper-


more please

a more modern structure & form bringing more modern issues & more modern language to fore, Tom. That’s great for the Pleiadian agenda.x.

' I am at your mercy, pleasure and pain make for an alchemic, euphoric mix. ' A little naughty. :) A deep poem, yet playful. In the end there's a taste of control. Wanting ' more please. ' Indeed. :)

loved the physical structure of your poem, Tom. The alliterative lines were perfectly placed. I especially liked "salaciously spun silken web" wishing you a blessed evening, Sara
