I

Got

A Rotating Black Hole

I once was a beautiful neutron star

Gleaming so bright, you could see from afar

But then my star collapsed & died

& an astrophysical object derived...

It shredded my light & vacuumed me in

Never to be seen or heard from again

But as my flames began to ensue

I discovered the entities undeniable truth!

It appeared my light was being reflected from its core

Emitting a feeling I could not ignore

So, I relinquished my fears & spiraled down like a drain

Realizing that space/time can never be changed

Pass the first event horizon was the radius of no return

Where time stand still, lessons are sure to be learned

Because once I reached the tempestuous light

It repulsed me back with an inconvieble might!

I may never see the outside world again

But the grandeur of our love was worth it in the end

& so it must be:

Angular momentum, nonzero; uncharged

Is by far the greatest result of a dying neutron star

Self-mutilation

I think I'd like to pierce a vein

Watch it bleed & feel the pain

I think I'd like that very much

So much more than I lover's touch

A lover's touch is unbeknownst to me

I know I'd rather watch me bleed

Pain is always been a friend of mine

Bc I'm certain it's the end of time

Nonpartisan

I'll tell you what I think today

Of this "soul-creator"

I think that He's a selfish fool

An arrogant dictator!

First, He forces us to live

Outside of our control

Watching as we propagate

The confines of this fishbowl

Then He says to worship Him

Or we all shall be condemned

To blindly kneel before His feet

His word, we must defend?

I tell you that does not remind

Me of a mighty being

For being so omnipotent

He's not very agreeing....

For, the only God I could love

Would never ask me to

He'd never force unto me

Things He, Himself, won't do...

He doesn't have to show His face

He does not seek conviction

He would not leave a mortal trace

No need for crucifixion

Now, I am not an atheist

Their arguments are lacking

But if there really is a God

Wherever He is, He's laughing!

Because no man can know His thoughts

They cannot speak for Him

So, to me, religion's just as lost

For, we all have been forsaken!

Now whether this God does exist

I'm afraid we'll never know

But Whoever created all of this

Did not do it on His own

So, before you believe a man-made God

I'd ask you to think twice

We do not need an eternity

To be appreciative of life!

The Way You Lie

The sweetest sound I have ever heard
Was one that most would find quite absurd

It was when I had found myself in a bind
By people who had found themselves undermined....

They asked me right away to relinquish the truth
Something I was simply unable to do!

& just before I admitted defeat
A man yelled out, "it wasn't her, it was me!"

Now, I would NEVER ask one to fall on his sword
But by the way that he lied, I couldn't help but adore....

His demeanor so steady, his voice, not even a squeak!
Such a selfless act followed by a beautiful technique

So, yes, the truth is that I fell in love with a lie
& after all of this, it was love I'd deny...

Rest In Peace

**Dedicated to Ms. Pat James**

As I watch the bright stars pierce thru the night's sky

I find myself a little more than preoccupied...

I think of death, & how to be

A person depleted by their lost identity

Making my death impossible to fear

Despite how much my life is revered...

It's confusing to deny the sanctions of fate

To wish that time could somehow abdicate...

I've died before, it wasn't enough

The result is now my skin is TOO tough

So, in the end My soul has learned this:

Every death is sealed with a kiss...

Tranquility

When you feel your heart's about to explode

You mustn't ONLY bite your tongue

You have to reason with yourself

Take a deep breath & fill your lungs!

It's ok to let the anger in

As long as you know from where

To feel the heat overtake your skin

& acknowledge that you actually care

Because feelings are a constant fleet

I've learned to pay no mind

You'll never (again) find me off my feet!

Instead, I choose to always be kind!

So reticule me all you want!

Please, I beg of you to try!

A calmness now controls my soul

Hence, I need chaos to feel alive!
