Your Poetry Dot Com - BLACK HOLE

BLACK HOLE PART ONE

My probe entered the mass,
The super-structure juddered by unseen turbulence,
I maneuvered into the black gas.
It was like chasms of beams, ever changing, ever moving tunnel of light,
With gaseous clouds spraying of in long streams.
An unseen force sucked us in deeper enveloping us fast,
Pushing us along with a jolt then speeding up at last.
My dashboard buzzed with lights ablaze,
Engines were overheating by the excelerated pace.
Power gauges steadily climbed in glowing red,
The craft was holding my head felt like a vice was crushing my skull.
The G-force sucked my skin back hard,
It was an almost painful pull.
I kept a watchful eye, my mind filled with dread.
Then as if the ship would explode I made it through,
Sucked into another dimension a huge planet came into view.
Circling this small sister planets radiated blue, I looked on in wonder.
Another world, planets, maybe advanced life I ponder…
My craft sped nearer the large planet,
Craters were clearly visible with the naked eye.
Prisms of escaping light rainbows the sky.
A blemish seemed to be getting nearer, or was it?
My eyes blinked to clear and focus once more,
Yes the blemish was getting nearer; it was weird for that I’m sure.
My shields were raised just in case as the engines died.
It looked like a craft with a cloaking device,
Now the blemish had also stopped.
I was right a ship de-cloaked infront of the craft,
It was huge obviously built for war.
My blood ran icy cold, I bit my lip.
I had found intelligent life, was this new discovery now going to terminate mine?
It was like a stand off, waiting to see what the other would do,
An alien ship with hopefully not a trigger-happy crew.

BLACK HOLE PART TWO

Static buzzed on the radio as I tried to contact the alien ship,
Could they understand human language or were they to advanced?
A pulse beam hit the ship rocking it with ferocious force.
I tried to escape but another blast ripped through the main thrusters,
Disabling all power to the ship.
I was a sitting target…
The view screen flicked on my attacker came into view,
An evil looking face starred back at me eyes almost burning through.
Humans are inferior, weak, and will destroy themselves if we don’t.
We will come one day to destroy your world!
My kind exists to expand and conquer.
Now you will die.
Wait I shouted sweat drenched across my stressed face,
I was going to die and the entire human race.
A photon torpedo pulsed from the alien craft,
I watched my fate taking in my last breath.
Explosion…My mind went black I was aware no more.
Twenty years later they came,
Two thousand ships some large some small,
But our conventional weapons were no match at all.
Not even secret underground bunkers survived the photon onslaught,
No human survived on earth they were killed or caught.
With the earth destroyed the ships left through the worm hole,
Man now existed for torture or a mutant role.

Would we have survived if the aliens hadn’t come…?
