The Universe Poem by Araek Maharba

The Universe



She keeps me facing up,
With her heretic fork,
Tracing up a pear of anguish.

A strappado of dislocation,
Breaking me...
She walks around,
A brand in her hands.

She takes the stand,
Keeps me breathing...

Roller coaster of love,
She tortures me daily,
Being the endless wheel called life.

She is immortal,
She brings eternal pain,
Sadist to my masochist.

The light to my dark...
And the endless abyss.
