Image result for dark sensual

you ... redeemed me from the belly of a star ripped me ragged from a hydrogen-helium core spinning, divergent, toward sentience from solitude ... howling I did not ask for that existence the blasted, bloody boon of banality but it was mine, nonetheless (now ... madness) we merged - a flailing vortex of cosmic clusters in entropy prolific and sensually insane indelibly charged in our dynamism transformed in a maelstrom of wild wonder and molten mania a cacophony of carnal chaos and hunger fused, like the heavy elements we are radiated gravitons ... the light-devouring attraction of black oblivion the imbalance of ions at constant - a non-baryonic notionality vagrant, erratic neutrinos unbound we are ... dark matter … us. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Best Free Verse From November 2018" Poetry Contest, Lu Loo, Judge & Sponsor.

Probably the only poem like this in the universe, very special write, very cerebral but with a passionate wildness, very enticing read, congrats on another winner Greg!

Thank you so much, John, this was so much fun ... merging science and poetry, and layering the ambiguity ... I'm so glad it worked! Blessings, Friend! :-)

You are so very kind, Josephine, thank you so much ... I greatly appreciate that you recognized the science in it as well. It makes little sense to use technical metaphor and analogy if it makes no sense, so I try to be at least close, or not do so at all. Blessings to you and yours for a Merry Christmas, and thank you again! :-) <3

Oh my goodness, Lu Loo - I didn't think this poem stood a chance, as it is rather esoteric ... thank you SO much for appreciating it on its merits and content. This made me smile at the end of a very bad week, (when I so needed a cheer) ... I am honored and humbled, as the others on this list are wonderful! Thank you very much, and have a very Merry Christmas! :-) <3

Thank you so very much, Dear Connie, that's very kind, and I'm very pleased you liked this rather deep one ... not a lot on the surface here, so it requires thought ... I enjoy that, (but it has to still make sense). Blessings, Dear Poet! :-) <3

Wow! Some poems are delicate like the petals of a flower;others are like a howling wind. This poem has the force of a hurricane! (I wish I had written it!) Congrats Greg on your most deserved win.

This is such a great comment, LJ, and I so greatly appreciate the kind words and accolades ... I love to weave ambiguity and mystery with poetry, and yet try to leave enough substance so each piece can stand on a first reading ... not always successful at that, but I try, lol. This one was fun - I'm so glad you enjoyed it, my friend! :-)
