The Universe is…

The Universe is…

the universe is

…With quick adjustments

My body in weightlessness,

I catch up with sound

Caressing substance

Air surrounds, like harnessed bliss

I caress the ground

A fleeting moment

To abide with inner thoughts

Understanding this;

God can’t condone it

reaching stars that can’t be caught

it would be remiss

If one wasn’t high

Immersing with the ether

How could one not try?

Tis splendor denied?

Eyes ill prepared to see her

the heaven’s reply.

Muscle-locked tension

Words mumbled, incoherence

spiking blood pressure

Sensations lengthened

In disheveled appearance

both as aggressors

in pleasure’s climax

her soul pressed to the dresser

her screams of treasure

consumed then relaxed,

learning to fly, wherever

the world endeavors

    Great piece and excellent work Paul – there is more truth in what you wrote than just about anything you could read in a novel or two about the universe.

    I love what you were able to create with the syllabic count. Very strong powerful lines with incredible story telling. Well crafted. Jamie

      Jamie thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. I took it as a small challenge to myself to stick within the haiku-esque syllable count. I hope I did it justice.
