The Dark Matter of Desire

you are the dark matter of desire
the source
of light and radiant energy
the pulse of the universe
holding up the sky

i break
the cosmic code of silence
capturing the poetic geometry
of the moment deep inside
the dark matter of the formless

i search for the elusive
elements of hope in the centre
of the circle where love blossoms in earnest
and where the god particles and the rainbow warrior cohere
designing the building blocks of the baby universe

you are the metaphor and reality of my being
the art and science in the sea of life in which i swim
the magic glue that binds the cosmic realm
the divine construct ingrained
in the human mind

you are the beauty spot
on the powdered cheeks of the universe
the precious pearl of choice
glistening like the smiling star
of destiny in my orbit
