Love Poem: Singularity

Singularity

let go …

time bends here
I can’t promise you what is
without a realm …
the draw is gargantuan
and my will -
my synergy with your passion
is the light devoured
all that was … is …
could be …
scintillates the blackness as hope
oblivion’s mad mistress
our event horizon
a heart that throbs for coursing only
not for affection’s silly sins …
our gravity strangles
with the grasp of Heaven -
shreds our boundaries with intent …
there are no choices, ours
no options
not even abdication
the quantum pull asks nothing
yet answers everything
oh, if only
you, I … we
were such matter, dark
gone, the bounds of time -
beyond consequence
divine …
nebulous … celestial
and yet …

is that not love??
