Universal Love

I walked across the bridge of your nose to connect the constellations

on your face. I was blinded by the solar eclipses in your eyes and

wound up where your universe began and I held it in my hand. I felt

it pulse life into the very edges of your galaxies.

 

Drawn I was with gravity to each of your hotspots. Running in

circles by the natural laws of physics, physically pulling me through

the natural laws of attraction. Deep-rooted into your wormhole,

taking me to another time and place, I could not tell you when or

where I was from.

 

Thwarting my universe into chaos by the 2nd Law of

Thermodynamics then breaking the 1st by creating something in

me from nothing. Ripping stars from cold space and shooting

them into the deep clusters once left empty. Exciting these *****

of flame into super nova’s scorching me from beginning to end.

 

Your telescopic lens would discern who I was and who I was not,

searching for truth no matter the distance. Altering my planets to

align with yours, spawning systems upon systems and then some

more, discovering rich life where none would explore, then leaving

your footprints upon more shore.

 

On that night the universe was silent. That same night you were

here and then you were gone, tipping the entropic scales back

from the first law you broke. I forever blocked out the moon so her

waves couldn’t wash what little was left of you. While she maybe

the only other knowing just how deep craters can crush.

 

Many my suns have died since then, where once my world kept

spinning has now completely stopped. Left with debris smashed

from a time that used to be. Falling slowly through cold and

empty space. Continually searching the universe for what science

calls foolish.
