Black hole sun... won’t you come?
Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem based on the line from Black Hole Sun “no-one songs like you anymore”.
Today marks the 4th anniversary of the passing of Chris Cornell.
I think he had a really incredible voice that’s unparalleled, and I still love to indulge in his music whether it be his solo career, Audioslave, Soundgarden or Temple Of The Dog. I love it all.
——————
For this comp I’d like you to write a poem based on a famous line from the song Black Hole Sun:
”No-one sings like you anymore”
Think about that line as a theme and see where it takes you.
Rules
• New poems only
• One entry only per human being
• Audio / visual / video / songs accepted
• No word count, just don’t go mad.
• Two weeks

Black Hole Sun
I
As my eyes traced the contrasts of depth and height
I followed the fractals right
Through crevices of light
To the blue-blue sky above.
My love… Is it okay if I whisper to nature today that you sometimes cross my mind
From time to time?
You were symbols of completion and an exalted design
And the very nature of me at the time
Or my world as a hieroglyphic sign
As I followed the meditation from that time to this time
II
A re-entry into the world
My feet touched down – The glissade of a promenade
Looking into the abyss of which the world is made
Sub atomic components switched off – Switched on
Proposing the confounding resounding question
What becomes of the world without our attention?
The answer seemed to evade me in the space
Of the wings of bird that took flight into space
Until I recognized the everywhere of space
And the everything of any point in space
III
What is today anyway?
Fiber-optically connected platforms
Of business commerce & social norms
Injected with electricity and storms
Of society’s social anti-social forms
Whirlwinds of attention cast
Into pinpoints of placement vast
The other side of screens & mirrors
The reformation of philosophical fears
And now we are here
The every place of space
Recreated in the image of human
Translated into the language of nonhuman
Strange and highly strange
Demonic possession gone digital is the rage
An abyss of components switched on switched off
A nature with the nature of anti-nature is taking off
Signified in the signs of the lines of fight & flight - Flight & fight
As the birds as auguries look on
Gracing the disconnected with a song
From another place – Another time
Another time – Another space
The blue-blue sky… Of a blue-blue globe’s face...
And I speak into a Black Hole Sun…
My Dearest Creature...
No-one sings like you anymore.
...R.I.P. Chris Cornell...
None
No one can persuade you otherwise!
So I'll do my best
to restore you to your
former self.
Suffice it to say,
things could have turned out very differently.
You've changed, in my opinion;
the game has changed,
and you're no longer a part of it.
Just don't do anything outlandish,
such as staying at home alone.
And you know what I want:
for you to take a stand and return to your true self.
For the record, I completely understand
the new you,
Life is a dirty business.
Still,
you once appeared to be of a different species,
rugged and lovable at once,
and now you sit in the corner,
contemplating your existence.
Return to us because no one
can sing like you anymore.
No one can persuade you otherwise!
So I'll do my best
to restore you to your
former self.

The light beneath the dark
Pebbles crowd beside a tranquil ocean,
a mumbling carpet of reality
sharp beneath moon-pale feet.
My clothes look curled-up,
almost asleep as they glance back at me.
I swallowed and spoke water, its gasp
held my lungs, hungry
for a taste, understanding my intention,
smooth surfaces carried me deeper,
fingers gentle as water boatmen's legs.
I could feel the pressure compressing,
chest, breathless as it began to trust her.
What took you so long? she said,
throwing her head back, submerged,
only tiptoed to pull me under.
I floated face down inside all the words
they don't write any more,
an endless black symphony
of songs no one has sung since.
My engine cut, drifting ever so silent
below the melancholy of nostalgia.
Eyes held by Ludovico technique,
forcing me to watch my horror
right to the end of the real, it was then
I saw a burst of light rise beneath me
the rush of escaping air, winded
by the blue bottlenose nudging
me to the surface gasping out
to swallow whole moonlights
burning out the void from my lungs,
I crawled out of her song,
exhausted, I lay down with my clothes
until I could speak sunlight.

light from the darkest hole
The corona was all that I saw
time held on the stopwatch
the melodies when my emotions
they played hopscotch
spirits pulled the curtains closed
alignment caused the rain to pour
Dark pools, where before
was bubbling volcanoes vim
the spitting ring the microphone
it captures all the hurt contained within
in the eclipse, came the darkness like a thief
the wand of lightening it brought relief
Trapped in that encapsulation
the echoes of a voice, its plea's
and I was trapped within its spectrum
for in to grope, to find the key
torrents from the holy well
calm the heat and warm the chill
Ride upon the black eyed stallion
fight the devils Hades stare
shame the moon, like an unripe scallion
that iris in its charcoal hanging
wash rain down, from the glitterball
dark clouds will part and love be all
.

Tears & Smiles
what's the worth of the truth,
when it tears you apart
what's the cost of a lie,
if it lifts your heavy heart
can you measure happiness with smiles?
can you measure sadness with tears?
some lie to adorn a songs
but the emotions are real
brought you to its devotion
let your brokenness heal
you bled your pain screaming your guts out
a relapsing soul addicted to afflatus
music is a drug, and the song is the vessel
voice is the force, and the words are its essence
punch me in my face, let the force hit my core
but sadly no one sings like you anymore
