The Physics of Love

Once, the fairy tale vein do I embrace, 
once upon a time
in the past not mnemonically distant,
were we the two poles of a magnet-
if you be the South,
me the North Pole.

If I be a flying matter,
You were the gravitational pull.

If I be the water,
You were the wave.

If I be a bridge
You were the pillars under it-
Yoking stasis to dynamics.

Now, as stasis and dynamics are unyoked,
I am all water under the now defunct bridge.
