Short Chemical Reaction Poems

Love narrows your options,
it finds ways
for you to disappear under fingertips.
Some say it’s a chemical reaction,
if so,
I’m an enzyme....

Love narrows your options,
it finds ways
for you to disappear under fingertips.
Some say it’s a chemical reaction,
if so,
I’m an enzyme for love....

A little fertiliser
And the flower will bloom
A little catalyst
And the chemical reaction will complete
A little yeast
And the cake will grow
And so man
Please remember
A little more effort and confidence
Will do 
In your entreprise...

Catalyst
Speeds up a chemical reaction
While  defence, suspicion, defiency and greed
Of dictatorship
Speeds up an outburst for war
Between man and man
Country and country
There are many reasons to start a war
But there is only one reason
To prevent
To halt
And to stop it
And that reason is simply called
Peace-loving...

bodies [under chemical reaction] rise & lose gravity,
travel about the air wistfully, like lost feathers.
wander away, thought, worry, you're pinning me down!
released with the discovery of clarity, touch replaces sound.
                                           hear me-
                              [the euphoria is contagious]...

Articulating boldness stand in the fire and heat,
the ultimate chemical reaction no one can compete.
This devine individual blows rings around the rest,
then fires them into a sensational spontaneous
and magnificent mass.
This mountain of magnitude opens the door
and look what is bestowed upon us, but the
wonder of his skillful world....

Chemical reaction,
called flammable young love,
caused from a distant view,
can set two hearts ablaze,
circle of smoke unseen,
chapter of bond begins,
creates cute child compound!

To me a soulmate is your other half that connects with your soul like an internal call.
A call for a deeper intimacy and bonding that sets off a chemical reaction towards the aftermath of a deep seated attraction.

An attraction that metamorphes into a deeper action of love!
A love that reveals a kind of seduction of an intimacy between two souls
That meet for the first time in love at first sight!...

I am the thread of light that whistles towards the stars 
Cutting through the darkness hoping to leave my mark.
I am the seconds of silence before you hear me speak
Preparing to show my true colours for all to see.
I am a chemical reaction worthy of your attention 
Being a visual phenomenon is my only intention.
I am a firework awaiting my moment to explode
So sit down, look up and enjoy the show....

Driving on the highway.
Body tired.
Mind Exhausted.
Over rivers of cement.
Under rising jumbo jets, bellies exposed.

Suddenly a flash of sunlight
hits the taillight
of the car in front of me,
creating the image of a bright,
white, hot diamond.

It dazzles.

For one brief moment
the chemical reaction of
reflected sunlight
and my own weary mind
produces a most surprising
but acute state of clarity.

Perhaps, even wisdom....

A broken heart just wants to heal
  She knows how much her love was real
Awaited joyous wedding bells to peal
  'Til from her chambers did stealthy steal
 
The spark that set off
  a magical attraction
    a chemical reaction
      a symbiotic interaction

Disappeared --- left behind
  a dismal, gray tomorrow
    unhappiness and sorrow
      only memories to borrow

A broken heart just wants to heal
  Too late now to invent the wheel...

Fluid like falls of rolling water, 

Fluid like a disease, a chemical reaction unleashed in any manner of time and space, discreetly repeating , unfolding and deleting, reemerging reaching the ceiling like smoke in thinner attire. 

Fluid like fish eggs taking course with a steady stream. 

Fluid like radio waves bouncing off beams around satellites and mortar a  amphitheater without curves. 

Fluid with the aerodynamic of no limits free-falling in the subtle touch of gravity....

Their forms have leaked into my mind;
women who have become
interchangeable body parts 
in a chemical reaction I have with myself.

A female once undressed with a smile
seeps through closed lids,
another woman, once passed on a street
lived for years as a reoccurring fantasy;
she suckles an incubus,
born from a proliferant lust.

It returns to me now;
speaks as an imago and apprehension.

"Don’t worry father,
my crippled condition
can't be seen
behind your open eyes"....
