For the love of Physics
Oh my little vector,
how I follow thee
-hither to thither-
thou art better than any scalar.
Your resistance decreases my current
initially, but my momentum carries
me through to my
maximum EMF.
You accelerate my velocity,
charge my capacitance,
Oh, my solenoid you
incline my potential energy.
You intensify my electric field
summarise Coulomb’s law.
Better than the apple are you
for this Newton
No longer am I inert-
I accelerate towards your force
and try to exert an equal but
opposite love
upon you
The death of the dragonfly
Chasing its fluttering
little clear
wings, we never realise
when it leads us from
the grassy lakeshore
to the dark cave lands.
So mesmerized
by its disproportionate
body-
so very illogical the image
could have been captured from
a child's imagination,
we follow it.
It appears to be so unattainable
so shiny-
so bright-
but,
when captured in a glass bottle
it looks like any other common
flying insect.
Disheartened by its mediocrity,
we release the prisoner of flight
back into the merciless air,
only to mindlessly search for happiness
by trying to capture the seemingly shiny
dragonfly
once
Gold and Silver
I can be your silver:
-showy, gaudy, ostentatious,
gleaming, glistening, sparkling-
for all to notice.
You can be my gold:
- solid, strong, and sturdy
uncompromising, incorruptible, classy-
for all to envy.
Flaunt me around your
finger as we dance
toward the silver gleaming
moonlit path.
Me
grasping onto
your golden shoulder
anticipating
the golden sun of morrow.
Let us be
entangled –
confused as to where your
light ends
and my darkness
begins.
Forevermorelet me be
your understated silver
and you,
you can be my
timeless gold.
