The astronaut saw the black hole
And suddenly feared for his soul 
He chose to die brave
And gave life a wave
And as he went in he cried, “Goal!”

The astronaut clung to his pride
As his atoms were spread far and wide
And he nearly cried
Because as he died...

Your Rain was tears on my window pane -
the first poem of yours I had seen -
pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse,
grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought mediocre. Bad omen for you.
You who attempted to pour the blue,
to quench the amber arid air
and...

An Indian beauty and nutter:
her eyelashes started to flutter,
her butt in the air
she laid it all bare,
revealing her hole of Calcutta......

 Black Hole Beauty

Stay calm my beating heart for you will enter the vastness of the void
Consumed by a blackened bestial bliss that the demons have deployed
She comes amidst the narcissistic night devouring love like a humanoid
A conqueror of time and space the light before...

A bright prodigy,
born from a cosmic cradle,
collapsed under the gaze

Now it all revolves around me, 
not them, us, nor you,
only I in singularity....

In the cosmic dance, I stand accused,  
You ask why I've left you bruised.  
A black hole in your heart I've wrought,  
A void where emotions once sought. 

Countless galaxies I've consumed,  
In my gravity's grip, they're entombed.  
No feelings...

Love's tender embrace, the Prince was destined to find himself again. .

My love is a black hole,
silent, vast, misunderstood.
It doesn’t explode. It swallows.
Soft things. Sharp things.
Every memory. Every maybe.

I give and give and still it spins,
pulling everything in without return.

only that it holds so much:
letters never sent,
touches never returned,
hope that clings...

Sometimes life can get so deep
You feel like ti will seep
More troubles out of the ground
That pile up and bring you down
I've had bad days that's been conquered
But there is one you have conjured
That has caused a cold black hole
That I can not walk or...

Come my friend and let me lead you on 
a voyage to the singularity
where mind and world collide.

For what is the mind?
A filter that selects and connects
   the world as it varies
with all its cues and views?
   Or is it a...

Now I’m ninety solar masses and I grow as I accrete
all the inter-stellar gasses near my neighbors when we meet.
My doctor says I’ve grown too fat too fast, “… it’s unsustainable!”
But I’ve big plans for a big blast that I know is attainable:

I’ll do the...
