Black Hole Poems

Fragments

I said I couldn’t write 
for I am an empty pen,
my ink wasted
on letters no one will read.
Torn, crumpled,
fed to the black hole
of a trash can.

Now I write of silence
Etching words into wood
For I have broken my vow with the papers
It isn’t determination,
nor delusion
just a moment,
a fragment that insists on staying.

And still, I write
not with

Black hole

Fill the void that sits inside my soul, 
take away the cold, restore lost parts and rebuild my core and find a way for me to be whole once more.

Black hole

Why can’t I exist without you? Each time I try to leave you suck me back up into your blackhole. 
Can’t help but love you for the way you make me feel
it’s like a loop of love and I’m stuck in it, swirling around your finger and getting caught up with you once more.
But I

“Love embodies in millions of forms and frequencies, not all known. Its intrinsic nature is detachment, with eventual dissolution into Godhead. The challenge is learning to move towards detachment using sensory reality, individual soul history & experiential phenomenon to achieve

LOVE LETTERS FROM A BLACK HOLE©2025 Sara Etgen-Baker 

Gravity bends; time stretches, light falters.
Love letters appear through the void;
Written in the language of stardust, 
    their ink swirls like the arms of faraway galaxies.

Through the event horizon, I write back
penning my heart to you with stardust and hope,
each letter a promise that

The time I got from eternity made me a part of you,
as my desire flared like the blazing galaxy of the cosmos,
I was keen to see the day my dreams would come true,
when your love will pull me though the void of oneness.

The sense of yearning came in the zero hour of awakening, 
soaring on

Beauty and the beast, two splendid hearts that beat as one.  Beneath 
Love's tender embrace, the Prince was destined to find himself again. .
A blossoming friendship happened between the beast and Belle  
Castle sized emotions and devotion grew, for she saw what no one else saw    
Kissing her with tenderness

Gazing the bright constellation in dark skies, 
I asked my lover, would you like to be black hole lover? 

We will spun into each other’s night— 
Two collapsing stars caught in afterglow; 
Your eyes, event horizons pulling me tight, 
Where my soul folds deeper than light can go. 

I whispered into your dark design, 
“I’ll

grab your pail, we'll clean the sea
fetch a comb to coiff the sand
don't fall for burning cities, to be
eternalized
as a pinnacle of table salt
pinch me, porfa!
looking up/down—that's insurance
perilous looking back
psychics looking forward
pronouncing words
over tomorrow's world
should you be dissolved
by hands
furious at future-telling feats
well, you would have seen it coming...
stay simple
pick peppers
plant cotton
gin it
for reason

Black hole love

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.
I don’t know where it leads,
only that it holds so much:
letters never sent,
touches never returned,
hope that clings even when hands let go.

People think black holes destroy,
but I

Black Hole of Calcutta

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...

It's a furnace of coal.
A dark night of my soul!
It's a bottomless well.
It's as unsafe as hell.

It's power in fullness.
It's death in absurdness.
I can't, from it, return.
I'd eternally burn.

Days, in it, look like nights.
Grief, in it, like snakes, bites.
It's a whirlpooling sea.
It's boundless void in me.

Am I talking to you my friend
or the younger me, in the end?
You feel that you need her, 
and you know you must have her.
While I am of a different mind,
you'd say I'm insensitive and blind.
I'd say it's you blinded by love
falsely attributed to the One above.
Your life is under your control.
You don't need her
