Neutron Binary Star Collision

Neutron binary star collision 

               Drifting in the ether, most of my adult life 
             Drawn toward a magnetar, she's a prototype 
          Exotic matter unimaginable, powerless to repress
      Mercurial wondrous, one time star has turned goddess 

                Imploded onto my scene, light weeks ago
           Contains only neutrons, emits an ovulating glow 
         Trapped in her energy, I've become a willing feeder
      Stripping off my outer layers, every orbit I come nearer 

      Accretion disc envelopes me, she siphons off my matter
        Relentlessly devouring, inexorably I'm growing flatter 
         An inverted death embrace, drains the life from me 
           Oozing radioactive plasma, overcome by gravity 

       Nothing left to give our marriage, togetherness remain 
          Resting on her surface, satisfying each others pain
            Pulsating forever, orgasming every few seconds 
               Lovers radiate jets, ejaculation going errant

Sotto Poet Date: 8/30/2021 2:28:00 PM This is indeed an astounding creation; David, your alignment in deep space with the intertwined neutron stars and magnetars that causes unexplained reaction in the cosmos (A Magnetar has a diameter of 12 miles and a mass of 1.4 solar mass). And this one has a very interesting analogy; both of them started with the death of a large star and its collapse to create a Starline object, in the case of Magnetar, and a new-born human life. This is in my fave.
