"electrochemical" poems
You called me your moon,
Knowing I didn't sleep very much,
Like I watched over you at night,
Like I kept the shadows at bay,
Like I could see you more than a handful of times a year,
I,
I think of you often.
You're an entire galaxy,
But the sky's the limit...
I could never get enough of you,
And you could barely comprehend my existence,
You see me, looking at you
And you smile,
But you don't see me,
I thought you did,
I thought a lot, think a lot,
Maybe I'm getting mixed signals,
Electrochemical signals,
Neurons transmitting to neurons,
Misperception or mere deception?
You're so much more than I could ever hope to have and,
I... Shudder,
You called me your moon,
Knowing I didn't sleep very much,
Except now you're one of the reasons why,
You're coffee,
Just more addictive,
More attractive,
And it's easier to sleep with caffeine in my veins than you in my mind.
You're a drug disguised as a sugar cube,
The craving came as a shock,
And hangs over like a storm cloud.
You like roses,
I didn't know you liked the thorns too,
I never even considered that you'd find your way through the briar,
That you'd find your way into my head.
You called me your moon,
Knowing I don't sleep very much.
But the moon is a beautiful thing.

From the dark black clouds
lightning strikes
rusty old iron pike
pointing the sky
atop a haunted mansion
Charge flows into the earth
getting dispersed, neutralized
sky and clouds rumble
in joy, their claps thunder
across the valley
window panes resonate
with laughter
I stand in the haunted house
like an apparition a Ghost
at the window
Clouds appear to me as parade
of tiny dust people, Mexican wave of charges
travelling down vibrating hot plasma
to my blind eyes
enhancing the beauty of
a streak of white on
dark black canvas
In turn enhancing charging
electrochemical excitation at synapse
releasing a wave of calcium ions
as billions of cells and charges
work in harmony to create
a single conscious me
A vision of future
not so bleak dawns
before my blind eyes
as billions of living conscious
living organisms blend
in harmony as all the charges
resonate upholding inherent
diversity we empathize
into a single entity earth
Clearing the puzzle of evolution
from interacting particles and charges
to a cell with auxiliary units to
multicellular organisms to a single
Conscious beings to a single Conscious
PLANET

Shut, open once more
Mortal eyes to welcome the light:
The modest ushering in of photons
who tiptoe towards the photoreceptors
dancing, gingerly between their fingertips
whispering their electrochemical messages—
tens of millions of data-bits—
bundled and strung up in between synapses
Sent to a distant place in the back of my head
Segregated, sorted
rearranged until the details emerge.

Writing...
Bitter Expression,
Meaningless electrochemical reactions converted into binary strings,
Interpreted as words...
A cold rag polishing them,
Stripping meaning...
Poems are nothing more than an interpretation of how we feel,
Stories are just an excuse to ignore the world,
Yet we choose to ignore the world,
To interpret,
Quiet Malaise brought on by interpretation is better than true sickness,
Tossing and turning in our sleep,
Instead of burning in the hell we live in,
Why exist when you can write?

Come.
Whisper in my ear,
Nuances of quantum
Conjugations,
Of antimatter
*******
I will reply with
Electrochemical kisses
On the shallow of your
Soul.

mm...! you generate an action potential in me
seriously, you got me doin' some
crazy ion exchanges through my axon
you got me spewwin' neurotransmitters
into the space of our synaptic gap
pew pew!
we don't have to touch to be
ELECTRIFIED
oh myyy
my dendrites are standin on enddd!
oh myyy oh myy my myelin sheath is very well developed ;)
this electrochemical transfer is snappin' like whiplash
FIRE IN THE BRAIN!!!

You look at me,
that is all it takes, and temptation tumbles towards me
Electrochemical codes stretch themselves thin
taught and winding
cooing and fluttering in axonal cornices
Echoes rush through neuronal chambers,
charged and pulsating.
My mind in harmony and fully drawn to you
synchronized by the network.
The messages reach my cortex, aesthetic appraisal follows
I know not the meticulous, miraculous mechanics of such a wonderful process but
You beauty is magnified now.
Touch receptors tell my whole body to tingle
Sensory splendor is so scary.
The cascades have commissioned the deeper circuitry:
Those ancient blueprints of visceral demands
from which wicked temptations of man are born,
the veteran fossil of primordial impulse, a buried luxury, a relic:
My reward system
permeated by your kiss.
I am dangerously, fearfully humble to the power of pleasure
It is awake in the under-structure of neurobiologically institutionalized euphoria,
ablaze in the basic backbone of bliss
It is stirring in it’s ancient wires.
I can say I am somewhat privy to the elusive nature of experience.
being a human being alone grants me this
being a scientist of the brain only dilates my sense of love’s incomprehensibility.
And so I sink into your touch, your presence unresisting.

I call to you, with stars
in my eyes, and a hope
that takes over my timbre.
Giving voice to the void
that separates internal
from
external,
through the minuscule aperture,
like a photograph with no light behind
but only foregrounded you.
No leaves or trees or paths
or edits to the memory -
natural
and glorious
and vivid
and you.
You alone.
I call to you alone
when you are all -
marks of tread through my heart
and love, a whole lot.
All I need, and no less
despite the behavioural
incongruence (hushed
and veiled).
So much says otherwise,
but does not so much
say as such?
I call to you, drowning
beneath the surface of
a puddle;
no, a pool;
now a lake,
impossible to fracture
the top frosted over,
beating my hands endlessly against.
The water blue flows crimson.
My heart beats,
until it stops.
And in the quiet,
she breathes.
I breathe too, and
my heart restarts,
her exhales electrochemical,
jolting me to wakefulness
and bringing my heart
to life
once more.
It's the nothings, the calm,
just the way she is
that gives you the breathless love.
Let her in. Gosh -
just let her in.
Let her love you because
she does.
Oh, slow your heart
or she will know.
Slow,
or the dream will end.
Let her love you
without loving you
the same.
Let it be, ok?
Let it be ok.
Let it be.
There is love
and it is bright, vibrant,
and it will shine through
any darkness.
She is everything in herself -
let her evolve.
That is life;
that is love...
That is love.
