Stillness of Emotion

Quasar pulse time moves 
at the pause ratio of 
radioactive query change

A long anticipated moment of attraction
did quicky supernova boom, 
then it slowly did mushroom
into repellant cloudy, doubtful affection
 
Heartbeat fears
perceptually travel 
on quantum tick-tock gears
of uncertainty
Unknown quality of years, 
diastolic guessing 

Vibratory standstill
only lament expand glacial regrets
Inert decisions
based on vein transverse concepts — 
Kinetic permutations of a void, after-vow life

Nil short hand trust keep spinning backwards
Neutron clock halts bio-rhythm progress;
nuclear bond broken, uncoupling kismet

Goodbye waves of binary permanence fusion
create so many 
proton teary Eves and electron frown Adams

Paradoxically, unsettled matter 
coalesces at entropy speed
High density flow of severed devotion
be an anti-betta Fate phenomenon:
A dual retrograde stillness of eMotion

Bosom thoughts, so whisper sublime,
do travel faster-than-flight
How null was the shooting star time?

Premature departure coursed flatline
through a serrated wormhole
in the vacuum cardio

Shared space contract 
slower than 
a frozen common asset

Oscillating fidelity
bandwidth kilohurtz breathe
aorta flux impurity

In the stillness of passion entropy;
that vast, intimate static ocean of much less
Suspended dreams drifts silently — 
Non-animated feelings, so full of emptiness

Oh, how the ventricular pain throbs,
feel how slow the time bleed
When the systolic ticking sobs stop,
where will that stillness lead?

sounds like a foray into internet dating...just think, if the world went up in smoke tomorrow through nuclear explosion/s...what would all the writing have been for? a metaphor originally used by Aristotle in the Poetics? Cartharsis. On all levels. Anagnorisis. x

E-motion is the future... Your poem read to me as a poem about how everything is becoming electric and what happens when everything is... Or am I way off base?

The 'e' stands for entropy. But, your personal interpretation may very well be another dilithuim crystal link for this mind-expansive poem. Love and more love always.

A commentary on past transgressions or clear and present dangers ? Or a harbinger of worse to come ? Maybe all three. Another truly dynamic, eclectic write, Mr Fred; great stuff.

Wow, I don't know how you come up with all these words in your writing Freddie. Brilliant for sure :)

Is this, was this Japan? Is it pre-post Mark of the Beast? Could it be World War 3 (just need only three A-bombs to totally destroy the USA...) Poem reads a lot of perils... A lot of scientific overtones. Still love your style and craft.. Write on Brother Write on

I see in this poem possible imagery on the atomic bomb. You speaks of Adam and Eve (men and women) and about the heart. You can tell how much you mean to me as I read all the way through, being not sure exactly what you are saying. Is it a feeling we take away or a greater meaning? Blessings, my friend!
