An Ode to Love-at-First Sight
an irregular ode of a 10th muse.

Who is to say how the forces collide?
In truth, blind ignorance we cannot hide
under times fine sands,
where unique insight shifts into shared trite.
~
Souls borrow bodies and make them their shrine.
They sense resonant heartbeats changing chime.
As the drum thrums thrust
dust in extremely low frequency light
these ELF have tendencies to make things fine.
Self, Earth and Cosmos meld in the divine.
Knowing logic rules,
the dice are rolled with a quick-handed sleight.
~~~
Human existence and nature entwine.
Meteors at the Wolf moon howl and whine.
From Draco’s mouth fly
flaming pearls. Some hit an old Russian Reich
where a bronzed beggar and gentleman stood
near a nuclear warehouse in a wood.
Fireballs exploded
with a shock wave as great as dynamite.
Impact extinguished torch flames from within
leaving a stark world, defenceless and grim.
This rare encounter
was caused by a chance rogue asteroid's flight.
~~~~~~~
Calculated differential equations
with singular nonlinear variations
can form a strong pull.
Did such draw my love cross ocean waves white?
~~~~~~~~
We know the heart connects gut to the mind
but the weak force is challenging to find.
Lightening flashes strike,
linking cosmos to blood's iron chained tight.
~~~~~~~~~
One day, a sunspot flared an eruption
that caused an intense global disruption.
Did Zeus' gold font
consummate and impregnate love's first sight?
~~~~~~~~~~
A clock measures short blinks of the Earth's eye.
As sun light winks from the moon in the sky
weak changes occur
whence chaos creates a hidden night sprite.
Charged air can form legacy units perceived
in Roentgen Equivalent Man conceived
and born as a REM
that darting eyes view in sleep's messages bright.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who is to say how the forces collide?
In truth, blind ignorance we cannot hide
under times fine sands
where bright new insight just shifts it's design.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In dreams, an old woman told a story
of hero Perseus' call to glory.
Andromeda sinned.
He, her hubris,vanity, reassigned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Star myths recount, physical beauty 's form
challenged beauty within and that caused storms.
Protecting others
more clearly defines beauty that's sublime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grey-haired woman said her death was near,
and queried if i might cocoon her dear.
Strange as it may sound,
a face appeared in morn's coffee grounds grime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gypsy blood whispers are hard to silence.
They guide and often comply with science.
They help form great plans.
To accept augury, is it a crime?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What forces align? Is a destiny sealed?
Do dreams foretell past secrets once concealed?
I asked my beloved.
My love shrugged and said, 'it happens sometime'.

My stories usually present facts, supported by science as we know it, that are often spoken of in myths. Both can help survival in an ever-changing world.
