Premium Member Love's Black Hole
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...

The Man In The Hole
Once there was a man who stumbled into a ditch, He fell hard and let out a painful pitch. You see, this hole was terribly deep, He couldn’t climb out—the walls were too steep. So he waited on sun and moon for aid, Till down fell a boy, with a shout, dismayed. They talked awhile and made a plan: “You’ll stand on...

Premium Member Black Hole Love - I'm Calling All-in
I stoked the fire, you drank the flame. I poured out my soul, you ditched the game. I'm gutted, bone dry, howling in pain - You reeled me in, gave nothing back again. Black hole love — you ripped me apart. I'm holding the line, playing my part. I gave and gave, you drained and drained. How did our love become...

Two Drunkards
They sat holding bottles In their hands And armpits Pouring mouthful Of liquor to fill Their hollow stomachs. They gazed at each other As cat and mouse And spoke a lot of Inglish with slain syntax To devirginate Their motherland. The two drunkards! Spoke of a nation's illusions And the wilted state of A nation's elites Raping the cultural norm Who raped the temple? They said something About...

Premium Member how do you know a truck will fit into that hole
My dog dug a hole large enough to push my husband’s F-150 into. How do you know? Because Poochie pushed Richie’s truck in there. At least he apologized, right? He is a golden. I think they have manners. Not yet. He disappeared on Wednesday The day after it happened. ...

Premium Member Into The Black Hole Sun - A Cosmic Ballad of Love, Loss and Illusion, Music Video
This piece was sparked by an idea in a fellow poet Tom Woody’s’ — “Last Dance Amid the Stars.” I however, followed a very different emotional path — one that avoids finality and leaves room for mystery and one’s own imagination. The story also touches on the true stories of a growing trend with...

A snake and a frog
Out of a hole near a pond so small, A baby frog gives a croaky call. But mama frog is nowhere around— A snake lies waiting; dangers abound. The baby frog peeks out of the hole— It knows its fate—no frog would console. With fear, it leaps out into the pond; From there, it finds a way to abscond. It doesn't know snakes...

Used to slip from here to you Through the rabbit hole we knew Now the hole is filled with land Rabbits fail to understand When the night comes, I am here At the place of our frontier I can’t call you anymore You won’t open your green door I won’t enter, you won’t smile I can’t go for many miles Only by the...
