Black Hole



Words extract pain. The resulting wounds pierce effectively deep, cavernous. With deliberate and lethal deliverance when spoken, in any language, on any continent, a tool of the passionate. When from the heart of all hearts, a lover, who takes aim without care, intent on destruction, leaving devastation. Words can leave an empty black hole where a heart once ruled. A mortal enemy, are words spoken with malice. The highflying bird captured, I hear its cries in the night. Its light extinguished, will it not wither? I fear, that is I, for its pain and desperation I share. My spirit grounded, I've ceased to soar. I concede, I cave, and what is exposed, only humiliation and pain and loneliness of the blackness of an empty hole for all to see. When loves abandoned, a lover flawed, void of emotion, a black hole is all.

    This is great! Very dark, but then is not dark a part of understanding the whole?

    You write like I do when I'm in pain or emotional distraught. It's my best tool actually.

Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres

Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres  [Special Extended Version]   [Paperback] Ian Ayres   (Author) Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Bringing together the best poems from Ayres's early verse (much of it written in houses of ill fame) to his erotic and darkly imaginative later pieces, this stunning collection also features his previously unpublished experiences with luminary legends such as Tennessee Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, Edmund White and Quentin Crisp. More than a book, PRIVATE PARTS is an experience of teen angst, hangovers for breakfast and raw enlightenment tripping over that cliff's edge in the rye. It would not exist if Ayres were not a survivor. Ayres's crusty accounts of a boy's life on the wild side explores the extreme boundaries of human behavior and amorality, offering a journey through his life from his early years in houses of ill repute to his life in Paris today.
