her positronic fingers
ripple the electrons of my flesh
torturing me with Shakti
to the point of symmetry breaking
arcing my spine, her quantum serpent
penetrates my atomic core
in that flash reactive instant
the vortex of annihilation coils
gravity compels our bodies in unison
as we’re both infinitely aware
the grand unification of love
requires a super-collider
and sometimes there is no fusion
only bubbles popping
on the end of a theoretical string
but tonight, if only for this one
atom smashing time
we’re swirling in the plasma
of Shiva’s galactic arms  
swallowing chunks of Prana
with inky red boudreaux

Beautiful poem. Love is expressed in such a grand, a cosmological view.

A very warm welcome to this wonderful site PIPtalk and you may join us in other forums to talk about other things too.

Well, RCat, you saw my thoughts about free verse that doesn't make a lot of sense to me and leaves me shaking my head. I am very pleased to say that this is not one. This is the type of free verse that gives free verse a good name. You have taken a central theme and created on heck of a love poem out of it with all descriptions and references remaining true to that theme. I will confess that I had to look up Shakti and Shiva but your poem made me want to, not to understand the poem but to further that understanding.
Welcome to the site

this is a nice poetry as already been said. i personally appreciate the blend of myth and your own words those have a undertone of slight satire.

Thank you all very much for reading and being so kind.  

This piece was inspired (at least in part) by the incredible work of Fritjof Capra (The Tao of Physics).  The book essentially is a “fusion” of particle physics and Eastern Philosophy.  

If this piece has in some way captured a micro-glimpse of the grand cosmic irony then I’m 100% satisfied.

Thanks again.
