Beneath the Moon’s Embrace
Beneath the silken gaze of night, where shadows whisper secrets,A tender pulse quickens, a silent symphony swells.The moon, a shy Muse, dips her light into the dark,And ripples flow where the shore of silence meets the soul.In the hollow of the hand, a breath unfurls its wings,Soft as petals opening to the touch of air.The … Continue reading Beneath the Moon’s Embrace

Quantum Blurt
What’s something most people don’t understand? The stars give us a dirty wink, Light does more than you think. Quantum slips into bed, Particles vibrate the head, And forces thoughts to sync and link.
Entropic Gravity (I think)
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I've always been kind of wannabe scientist and doing an okay job at qualifying. I eventually opted for other creative ways of wrestling down the human condition. Here is a poem trying to explain a new theory of gravity by Erik … Continue reading Entropic Gravity (I think)
