Short Bottomless Pit Poems

As I toss my emptiness into the void
I get more and more enticed
By your sullen eyes
To sink
Into a bottomless pit...

Aimless

Pointless

Road to nowhere

We go 
Lower

Every single day

Every step we make

No end

Empty space

Bottomless pit...

If I permitted
I could curl up in a ball
in a dark closet somewhere
and weep my whole life
Too many tears are too much
Grief is a bottomless pit......

Hey no ifs ands or buts about it
problems come from a bottomless pit 
Chicken roasts and all
the roots of your fall
My Sullivan needs a work permit...

Nature is precious but at a time like this
How was it before we were pushed off the cliff
Days before the world
Was suddenly hurled
Into this deep and dark bottomless pit...

Love is like a bottomless pit,
it's neverending,
somewhat terrifying,
and I'm falling in love.

Love is like a vast ocean,
it seems endless,
and now I'm diving,
and I'm falling in love....

Your passport to happiness is deep in your soul
Gives passage to HappyLand without any toll
Just smile a big smile
A big ten on the dial
In a bottomless pit of ecstasy you'll roll...

The day is long
My attention's short
I've no energy to cavort

Business isn't done
I'm ready to quit
Time feels like a bottomless pit

I'm physically here
Mind - absentee
I shouldn't have drank the caffeine-free...

The notion of time
  a potion sublime

A bottomless pit
  the physicists fit

Today or tomorrow
  the future or past

As your arms wrap around it
 —your hands lose their grasp

A heart once filled with happiness, love and stability, light as a feather it was, 
now a dark scary bottomless pit left since the day you decided to walk out on me.

Never again will i be the same!
Lonliness, like a friend i find comfort in its arms. A fugitive to love, i have become....

People 
speak of 
"head in the clouds"
but 
what about 
cloudy mind?
Muddled,
confused, 
a blend of 
many emotions.
How do you fix 
a muddled mind?
how do you put back together 
a puzzle 
scattered across the globe?
How do you cure a bottomless pit of loneliness?
This is an answer I will 
ponder, 
never know...

Colorful letters that forms the word
That makes this heart of mine turns Gold
It jumps, it dances waking its neighborhoods
A midnight call! You should! You should!

Bottomless pit of longing begins
As endless imagination jumped in
Sleepless night, just watch the starts tonight
The moon is teasing me as it shines bright...

Clawing cages of invisible affection

Shackled to imaginary joy

Bound by blind rejection

Embracing the insecure 

Heart lost in minds war

Hand bleeds emotion raw 

Unto a bottomless pit of paper

Battered words and pain pour

Each burned with stains of false 
hope

Fueled by illusions of love to cope


Lay...

Oh shameful bottomless pit that is,
My life.
Take me to the ocean,
And drown me.
Eternal flame,
My sunrise and sunset,
Burning my flesh,
Burning.
The foul stench encases my nostrils,
As you and all your race of men,
Look upon me,
Laughing with disgusted upturned noses.
Not yet satisfied,
You impale me with a four foot spear....

My heart is just a piece of flint
Black and small
My heart is just a swinging brick
Cold, hard and unchangeable
My heart is just a black hole
It sucks away any life
My heart is just a bottomless pit
The love thats put in, is never seen again.
I don't have a heart-
Just a space where one should be.

At least, thats what you think....

------------Greed------------------
the lust for more
never truly understanding limits
the feeling of irritation among the time you dont
such has corrupted mankind
controlling them as a puppet
the only way to detach those strings is to give no care
but to do that the bottomless pit of sorrow comes
for this no information can be given
but good luck...

Tons of black tears of unshed pain
So much to loose and nothing to gain.
While sadness keeps ripping and tearing ur heart
The rest of u seems like it’s falling apart.
A bottomless pit of unthinkable sorrow
Instead of warm hugs or glimpses of a better tomorrow.
It seems the cruel world is enjoying its farce
But all that ur left with are deep ugly scars…...

The pain subsided
as I lifted the drink
space still resided
deeper I still sink

Need a love to take up space
to fill that empty hole
a need to leave this place
to empty my poor soul

Waiting for some sun
to chase my rain
for that I am not the one
only I am to blame

A long game of chess
my life seems to be
lost all my pieces and caused a mess
as you can definately see...

Buried deep I can not breath this black abyss no light I see

      Muddy dirt surrounds me in a bottomless pit so endless and extreme

Please! No more rain or I will further sink into this rayless ground no hand to grab I scream

          'Oh' the worms of gore as birds sit plucking for more!

Hurled at the speed of light
Into a black hole
Into the fierce vaccum
Tumbling, twirling, twisting
Falling for a thousand years
With an unchained melody
Until the Reign ends
Then apprehended suddenly
Jerked up at that same speed
By that chain- feet first
With that same unbroken 
Primal scream
In fearsome terror
Surrounded by darkness
Dense enough to feel
More horrific than his own...

Seduced, stripped,
Commanded to submit,
Thrust wickedly,
In to a bottomless pit.
Bound, whipped,
Punished, adored,
Perspectives changed,
Of their own accord.
Confusion, hatred,
No lies told,
Saved from darkness,
From a hand to hold.
Loved, cherished,
With a soul of fire,
Eyes ablaze,
From heated desire.
Shackles, released,
No longer a need,
All those fears,
Have now been freed....
