A force tugged against the chest
Paths unrevocably intertwined
My heart exists beyond its cage
and beyond this tiny lifetime
The law of universal graviton
Gives no advice or information
On how to cut the red string of fate
On how to process a unrequited destiny
On how love without the loss
Of a destiny pre decided
Unsolvable and unwanted
Whatever winds encountered soon resolved
to swirling fragments, till chaotic heaps
of leaves lay pulsing by the backyard wall.
In lieu of rakes, our fingers sorted each
dry leaf into its place and built a high,
soft bastion against earth's graviton
a patchwork quilt, a trampoline, a bright
impediment to fling ourselves upon.
And nothing in our laughter as we fell
into those leaves was like the autumn's cry
of also falling. Nothing meant to die
could be so bright as we, so colorful—
clad in our plaids, oblivious to pain
Never to stand in gesture wavering as we go
Crawling overtime and remembers us below
we'd feel today, should we leaf-fall again.
Music notes and exclamation points
Particles colliding with sight crystallized to form
Spiraling cyclically midst graviton pull
Grip mind fathom power with thin flavored lines
Tone deafening my lips chap against visuals
Lapsing time stands ground still out of metered sign
Kind window openings screen systematic filtration
Feeling a wee bit photoshopped hearing pictures
And
Seeing voices...

The theory of everything
Which even an Einstein could not divine
Remains the goal
Four fundamental forces making the universe what it is
Electromagnetism, weak interaction, strong interaction, gravity
Each with its own mediator particle that makes the force a force
Photons, W and Z Bosons, Gluons and Gravitons are their given names
All for the Graviton proven to exist
Completing their journey from postulation to theory to discovery
Only the Graviton awaits a Columbus
But herein is postulated the existence of a fifth force
More powerful, more complex than the other four
Failing, to date. to command attention in the field of physics
The powerful universal force named ....LOVE
Its mediator particle, here in, called CUPID
Difficult to discover as is the Graviton and like the Graviton it has no mass
Because it too must act instantaneously and at long distances
And has, as should be expected, a spin value of 2
Once the CUPID is discovered the theoty of everything will be complete
Riding on the tachyon
I soared on through the night
Conquering the graviton
Soaring faster than the light
Traveling through the spatial rift
Further than the last red shift
Never looking back I fly
Though I often wonder why
Streaming through all time go on
Where galaxies abound beyond
Flying through the stars I know
There are other planets in the show
Great abundant stellar birth
And many worlds just like Earth
The graviton nuclear wave the neural flame will caress
With knowledge of book of secrets the flame will the soul bless
Grater knowledge and intelligence then master of chess
The power of magnificence the spirit will express
In the book soul of every star is
But that is mere shadow of depth of this abyss
As its power keeps rising the knowledge is bliss
The sweet spot in the brain of imagination supernova is
The procession of thought heightens the expanse
The visage of surreal with beyond infinity will dance
The glory of last fundamental place is there not by chance
As deep and wonderful as eyes of girl from divine romance
Imagination that needs no base is outside time
Outside of my entire rhyme
That is what makes it so sublime
As it is constantly growing in by that rise formed length of time
Researchers assume they can trust their GUT –
that is their Grand Unified Theory.
This simple answer is close, they think, but
the resolution’s still a bit bleary.
They’ve linked electromagnetic with weak,
on their way to full unification
but, for final culmination, must seek
the gravity of the situation.
They trust they’ll find the graviton one day,
through their particle acceleration.
Without this carrier to show the way,
they’re lacking complete illumination.
And thus they hesitate to claim they know,
since, still in the dark, they may stub their TOE.
