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.

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!
