Implosion of void
Nothingness found within
Nirvana inside
reincarnation renewed
Births forth into a guru

Premium Member Implosion

silent walls collapse
folding in sucked into the void
with no sound or light,
to show what once beamed bright there
leaving a black abstinence

New York From the Above

Tearful scared face sobs
Implosion of mute whispers
Two reflection pools
Host ghostly towers of light
I see my kids bring flowers...

Implosion

internally 
implosioned 
collapsed 
fell apart 
from within 
from external 
pressure placed 
upon the weakened 
state of affairs 
that existed between
us for so long 
finally gave way
to my dismay

Self-Infliction

Explosion, implosion,
tomorrow is gone

A new self-destruct mode,
old enemies throng 

We’re now on the poster,
PUBLIC ENEMY ONE

The canaries all dead
—with zero the sum

The Last Swan

The sun in arrears,
  its moon in default

With stars in foreclosure,
  the cosmos to halt

All time repossessed,
  the Creator has gone

Awaiting implosion,
 —that last singing swan

Premium Member Implosion

Listen to poem:
Bursting inwards
puckered collapse sucked in,
with explosion played back in reverse,
she caught her sneeze
behind her lips shut tight,
with only a tiny grunt,
expelled from nostrils,
sneaking out,
she saved herself from 
embarassing gesundheit.

Ode To Truss

Politics
B*llocks t*ts
Who's in charge
It's all in bits
Democracy
 policy
Who da boss
It's all silly
Economy
The whatomy
Finance for dummies
U-turn Lizzie
Oh dear oh dear
It's near it's near
A Tory implosion
Government erosion
UK explosion

Feel It

Deeply enriched by stimulating sensations.
Mind vs. body is a dangerous confrontation.
Exposed to desire, and uncontrollable urge.
Feeling an implosion as it begins to surge.
Bodily rushes to great to be scared.
When it all comes to an end,
Who's truly there to care?

Polar Extremes

Explosion / Implosion,
caught in the din

Forces once pushing,
now pull from within

The physicist cries,
as the mockingbird calls

To see past tomorrow,
today in freefall

A binary motion 
of polar extremes

All consciousness split 
—dark hole of my dreams

Self-Implosion

Until you escape your own cognition,
  you’re a prisoner of your mind

Your spirit waiting to lift you free,
  dialectic far behind

Until you can leave all reasoning trapped,
  and let your thoughts go free

You’ll never be able to self implode
  —as you were meant to be

Premium Member Love Potion

Who hasn’t heard of the notion
The secret recipe for love potion
Can detonate a frenzied explosion
While stirring carnal emotion
Wild winds setting in motion
The sails ablaze on blue ocean
Stars above burn in devotion
Igniting the spark of implosion
Catapulting a heart in commotion

Let Down

let you down
this i just 
realized 
it hit me 
like a tone 
of bricks 
it was right 
under my 
nose the 
entire time
i could not 
see it before
i did not allow 
myself to come 
to terms with 
my own role 
within this estrangement 
i field to realize before
just how much fault 
i bare in the 
implosion
of us
Form: Lyric

Silent Implosion

At the furthest bank
This river flows
I dip my trembling toes

The highest cloud
I’ve yet to reach
I sit and then I eat

The horizon 
Won’t yet soon evade
And then I’ll sit beneath its shade

Rationed
Stretched thin
One drop of margarine
On burnt white bread

In the darkest cave
I’ve dared to dwell
I cry and scream at hell

Laughter

Their laughter exists outside of me.

As they laugh, it is like water being splashed at me.

But the water has neither warmth nor coolness.

They are simply mean.

But I am worse, 

I am anxious and that makes me a horrible person.

Their laughter becomes maniacal in my dreams,

But is still dull compared to the implosion of self worth from within.

Swallowing Anxiety Implodes the Light Sockets

This frenzy of feeling
this pull of hindsight
is bursting in optics
resounding in light
at the tip of a porcupine
centered explosion
this frenzy of feeling
internal implosion

This fanatic fancy
this race to be found
is shooting star tonguing
and silent of sound
at the tip of the mouth
on the verge of a thought
this fanatic fancy
can never be caught

Premium Member Sunset

Pebbles tossed, ripples blue, purple, tangerine one blur of movement and stillness soundless Sadness in heart's implosion I pluck cotton clouds from a sky that weeps colored candy Evening drapes slowly close over a mourning sea brightness drowns sings a lullaby to a lonely wave *** August 1, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Respecting the Elements of Love

Don't break the lightning bottle
It's sitting here around my neck
a jolt of crackling thin skinned glass
under my sweater, power let
For if you hug me tightly
implosion sure will heat the night
as bolts of brittle sunshine
come splashing forward to ignite
So always hold me gently
and fortitude the willing brow
for it took all my energy
to harness you here, even now...

Premium Member These Days

the day the Russians
are pushed back past their boarder
there is already unrest in Moscow
and Russia's idea
to invade Ukraine
caused a civil war
on their own soil
pro Ukraine militants
taking over towns
as they prepare for
soviet implosion
hey I'm here
I'm an American
and I think this is just
what Putin needs
or has this been
the plan all along
to become a democracy

Implosion

Untimely.
Illegitimate.
           I will not ask 
           for an apology.

The hymn
started too early.
           The dust had 
           settled on the lens.

Imitation.
Not real pearls.
            Your words do not
            convey the thought.

There was a
long distance –
            between your lips 
            and my self-immolation.

Premium Member Little Sisters

Wasting trillions
Poses implosion.
Innocent starved children.
Ukraine's exploding.
Little Sister's Mercy missions.
Business is closing.
Lost without vision.
Banks begin folding.
Mean streets turned Vicious.
Old structural erosion.
The cold war's gone Fission.
Supposition of votes.
Endless inquisitions.
Yet, an omen bell tolls.
The Road to Perdition,
Is paved in Fool's gold.

Premium Member Devotion Potion

Enthralled by the notion
A mermaid could set in motion
Such powerful devotion
Causing ludic commotion
She offers an elixir of love potion
Stirring powerful emotion
Feels much like an implosion
Monsooning into an explosion
Down to the bottom of the ocean

Nerve Gas

Razed garden hung 
Icicle vines crept mortar 
Fingers of the dead 

And the sun died 
Cataract eyed sinking 
This limitless implosion 

Craven mustard then spread 
Barbed 
Waspish sting and evisceration

Slinking down the brick 
I felt incorrigible 
Violence 

The lone oranges dangle 
The only fruit 
Are clockwork 

My black heart suppurated
Necrosis 

Nerve gas sought 
Release to silence 
The screaming 
Myelin

Premium Member I Wandered So Lonely

I wandered so lonely beneath the stars Lamenting my wayward pathways chosen Feeling abject sadness of unhealed scars Thus, fearing a dreaded self-implosion, With thoughts of emotional erosion, Knowing what is past cannot be undone I shall feel renewed with the rising sun Pinpoints of star light bathe my inner soul Such a stroll ensures a victory won When the morning returns, I shall be whole.
