astrophysics, astronomy, and love

astrophysics, astronomy, and love …

she smiled, she looked at me, incredulous, her jaw dropped,

” how on earth can you be so sure about that ? “

well i had to explain, because motion at this velocity cannot be simply stopped,

so i thought, this was the bloke who sported mops of hair, yet couldn’t do without close shaves,

so i said to her, i said,

” gravitational waves “

letting go

letting go …

scratching

at wounds

picking

scabs

unleashing pain

twisting knives

turning effortlessly

amid the cacophonous romp

of highfives …

letting go

of

scraped souls

eroded

by

dishevelled dignity

stung

wrung

strung

and

hung

to dispel quaint smiles

perfected over a million wounded miles

shattering consciensces

along the way

blinding

blinkering

rose-tinted phantasy

day to groteque day

clogging vision

hazing eyes

tugging

pulling

tearing

down

curtains

leaving eyes

blinded

blinkered

unseeing

unfeeling …

while broken stems

mend gently

elsewhere

plucked

along strings

strings

strung

and

strummed

igniting

numbed senses

sublime flavours

on clouds of

touch

taste

melding

fusing

myriad dreams

into

dreadlocked hopes

entwined

intertwined

knowing the paths ahead

to be

far from kind

still

setting forth

yet

moving

ever moving

forward onward

hearts ablaze

hopeful

letting go

of it all

leaving it all

far far behind …

as we walk

as we walk …

though today we tread on broken glass,

our time shall come to pass,

when we may walk past the travails we seem to amass, 

and beyond the splinters of all that is crass …

dawn breaking …

dawn breaking

1.

willowy brushstrokes,

conjured sketches,

painted,

etched,

embossed,

hewn between forgotten morns,

waking,

splintering,

straining, against each other,

ceaseless,

relentless,

endless,

empty,

a vacuum,

an abyss of night.

2.

still,

hope blazes,

bright,

radiant,

smiling,

though measured,

disciplined,

while embracing,

enveloping,

and always

surrendering to the eternal promise,

raging,

hungering,

aching,

the promise of a new dawn breaking
