Dear Friends, I had composed this poem in 2008 after reading an
article by a Lady Doctor who was a Biologist, and had initially posted it on 'Poemhunter.com'. Hope you will like it! Thanks, - Raj

PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF LOVE !
Love’s physics and chemistry, has forever
remained a mystery!
There are no permanent equations to resolve,
Love's unseen wave like force!
It travels through three dimensional space,
At frequencies higher than electromagnetic
waves!
It remains unhindered by barriers of cast, creed,
or clime,
Giving two beating hearts a feel of the divine!
It generates a magnetic force field, making
two hearts in unison beat!
Yet Biologists claim that a chemical called
(PEA) Phenylethylamine, -
Triggers loves molecules in the human mind!
Chocolates are rich in this PEA content they say,
And is a perfect gift on the Valentine’s Day!
The chemical Dopamine makes the lovers to
glow and feel fine,
When they live on love and fresh air and may
even forget to dine!
While Norepinephrine, which stimulates our
adrenaline production,
Makes the lovers world go round in a joyous
motion!
But Oxytoxin that 'cuddling chemical',  requires
constant contact for its effects to prevail!
Cupid’s arrows may be dipped in its pail,
Before those arrows on lovers begin to hail!
Creating unbearable attraction leading to infatuation,
Making two hearts beat as one with love’s magic
potion!
But such feelings remain for a limited duration,
Varying with people with different emotions!
In a 'mercurial type' loves ecstasy gets mixed, -
And they frequently require a PEA fix!
But those who stick to a single mate,
Are said to be rich in Vasopressin content!
And finally when infatuation gradually subsides,
Chemicals triggered by Endorphine slowly overtakes,
When calmness and stability with loving bond
prevails!
This Endorphine is reputed to be rather addictive,
And firmly binds those forces released by PEA, -
which are rather seductive!

Daughter and sister
Creon king of Thebes
Great Antigone locked inside a tomb
For following divine law
Hung by her own hand
Unable to suffer injustice
Hæmon now must bleed

We were born as actors took the stage
I was only a heartbeat and hands
You were more than skin
We saw the jackals in the night
Gun headed children with powder fingers
A man on the hill shouting "death to the despots"
Falling bombs that feed no flowers
The turtle crawls slow
His jaw hangs open
We were born beneath the man made cloud
I was a dreamer caught in nightmare
You couldn't fall asleep
We saw the edge of a black hole together
Blood hungry for Armageddon
A man in a suit saying "follow me to war"
Metal raptors and steel claws
The birds fly south forever
And winter never ends

I hold you in my imagination
I know
The only things
That ever became real
Were once merely dreams
There is no reality unless we make it be
And I'm making
I am the better part of creation
And even while I sleep
I still am working
My slumber unencumbered by my rest
I hold you in my imagination
You hold my heart
We'll hold each other
There is nothing left to believe in
Except for this

I turn my face again away towards the strange
I turn into a wall
No masterpiece
Only a fear growing low in all the life I know
I hide my eyes from light and strangers gaze
I become the ghost once more
Spectral hands unable
Only a solemn letting go of all my hopes and dreams

I don't care what they say
What they say about me
I wasn't born for life
I will always be beat down

I turn my face towards the back edge of a room
I turn despondent
They will call me beautiful
But then why do I feel so ugly?
My skin is a poison and my breath is disease
I become a pit and razor wire
My own method of destruction
An infinite ending

I could not care what the voices say
About my choices made
I know well that its my fate
I will always be beat down

I feel alive in your eyes
I see a sun on the rise
Take me away but don't take it all
Bringing me now to a breaking point
I'll steal the thunder from the skies

I feel a drum I'm your heart
I see the light of a star
Burning me whole and giving me hope
Killing me slow and shining as skin
I see the beauty of your scars

I watch you fall so far
Fall now
Into my arms
Fall now
Into me

I feel the reach of your mind
A mountain I want to climb
I'm on top touching the heaven you hold
Giving my hands to every inch of this dream
My foot steps right on the line

I feel the floor of your pain
I cry angels to call your name
Oceans and skies are miles between
Constellations becoming our fate
And our love is golden wings

You could fly
You could tear apart a seraphs sigh
Confirm belief
Its only beautiful falling

I watch you fall so hard
Fall now
Into my arms
Fall now
Into me

I would say I'm a rebel without a cause
Because my cause keeps changing
But if you dig deeper you'll find the root
The planted seed
The meaning
My cause:
Find defined societal norms
And defy them
