Endless

black in the sky black sound in the mouths of those who stare blindly
at spiraling void descending on jagged wings soundless screams
swallowed by endless hunger the awful infinity of the void
requires our presence in the last dance Hawkings
would approve as the events of our lives
vanish beyond the horizon spiraling
down into eternity beyond
which we cannot see
divide by zero
divide by
zero
o
the
stars like
a thousand diamonds
but I see your face and laugh
I kiss your face and laugh and angels
dance on pins the skies pour forth blinding light
and powers move upon the deep and the seraphim sing
as we hurl ourcometselves together our bodies feeding glowing
hunger gasps your hands grab my back we burn through pain sorrow
on falling flying soaring shouting exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim breathe
and you turn to me eyes alive as we defiant can only be and say lets do it again

Excellent, Tech. I had to read it three or four times before I could grasp the meaning, but when I did, I was astonished at how you mingled sex, love and the end of the universe. Amazing and exciting.

Very good but I was wondering if all your poems deal with sex and death?!!! :)

Thanks, ETC! The result of reading too many physics books.

Thanks, Trixie! Indeed! :)

Thanks, Rain! And I do have the heart of a poet ... he's buried in my backyard! :)

Thank you, Michelle! I'm glad you enjoy it.

Thank you, Gloria! I like my poems to have several meanings so that the reader can bring their own vision to reading it.

Thank you, Roen! I appreciate that.

Thanks, Slim! And no, they don't.

Yes, they do, Slim. I asked him the same question this afternoon! :) Not that I mind, though, I love reading Tech's poetry, too.
