Into the Black Hole

I held your heart like a child’s hand

The universe played in your eyes

Colliding stimuli

I felt my world collapse under the weight of fate’s biggest surprise

 

 

It’s a shattered attempt to recognize failure over fear

A restlessness found in the words you couldn’t hear

Muffled conversations…

…and I’m left alone again, to find my isolated destination

 

 

You’re recycled air, lost in time

A processed version of a copied paradigm

You’re coming undone at the seams

Forgot to tie it off at the ends

and now you have to begin again

 

You were too busy trying to turn water into wine, while I chose intoxication of a different kind…

 

 

Your eyes were mixtures of greys and blues

Deep like craters, cosmic, like a kaleidoscopic moon

 

Blood drips from a needle too thick to pierce veins, but to you it’s the same because it’s all about how the sight of it feeds your brain

 

I sang to you under constellations I couldn’t name, paid attention to your movements and made miracles of the mundane

 

You stole my voice, captured the poisonous weapon of your siren

left me to die off slowly, no longer singing to breathe you in

 

I swore at that moment that I would learn the names of every last star, and put them in a poem and keep them in a jar

 

 

And you said:

“You are sun, you are fire, you are deeper than desire. You are water, you are moon, you are unorganized chaos unleashed too soon. If you look closely you will find that this is love of a different kind…”

 

 

If I was the earth, you were the wind, and every other element watched you sink inside my skin…gone faster than an eye blink

You became just another set of stars in the sky, bright and shining, hot enough to make the comets cry

 

 

But I’ve read this book before, I’ve gone through every page

You’re just another astrological mess

The only constellation I can’t name

Thank you for sharing your poetry. You give me reasons to write.
“You are sun, you are fire, you are deeper than desire. You are water, you are moon, you are unorganized chaos unleashed too soon. If you look closely you will find that this is love of a different kind…”
Your statements strong and having purpose. Each set of lines leading the reader to different thoughts and places. I like the above lines. Made the reader stop and think. This is a excellent poem.
