Black Hole Poem by Mohammad Younus

(BLACKHOLE)

At dawn and at dusk
At noon and at midnight
I sit on the shore of my ocean
And think of you
Watching the ripples and waves
Singing in mystic notes
Perhaps to invite me
To dive or drown
I leave its shores
And the gallons of waves
Drown me deep
I am breathing under water!
I am drowning
Drowning! Drowning!
If I knew
The ocean is so deep
Never would I jump into it
I would have prayed you
Rescue me from this ocean
For I know not how to swim
But I knew
How I would end
I loved the adventure
I pray you
To teach me
How to hold on to my roots in your depths
The black waves in your eyes
drag me to the depths
To the black hole in my heart
Where you are
Wherefrom I can never escape
Is it I who am in the black hole!
