The Stars Series: Black holes

A Poem by H.L. Cerveise



The Stars Series: Black holes


In the night sky the stars pierce through vast darkness

But there is a darkness darker then even we can see

Of course I am talking of black holes

We know they exist because of the effects they cause

They give out no light of their own

They warp light that surrounds them

They suck in and devour any hapless matter

They sag the very fabric of the cosmos

They take space-time and curve it to the infinite

Any matter that is unfortunate to get to close

Enters the event horizon a point between existing and nothingness

The poor matter can see no light

Time drags almost to infinity

But the matter does pass through this horizon eventually

To be crushed by the dark heavy point of singularity at the center

Is the black hole evil

No they just know

They are just doing what black holes do

And who can adore anything that dark

No one wants to be sucked into anything
but the arms of a lover lol

Making The world feel growth
Opposites.... I am not sure If black holes are evil but thats something to ponder on
