Love and carbon
I realized this poem has never been shared on this blog, so here it goes. It was first written in 2011, and published in August 2012 on my Deviantart profile. Posting it here for a full circle. Thank you for reading :)
What are we? Just a bunch of Carbon atoms, roaming freely in the universe Until they meet, and become one, maybe not for eternity, but for their lifetimes. like aching hearts seen from a distance A distance which connects them yet they are far enough to feel the burning pain of loneliness A distance which fills the gap between them like a covalent bond with nothing but electrons in between And when the distance lowers the hearts become closer like the two moons of Barsoom they meet in unison they kiss and consume the valleys of distance and make something different Like a bunch of carbon atoms roaming freely in the universe Until they meet, and become one to create existence Seen from a distance A distance that never was in the hearts that were far apart Maybe the bond existed even when they were not a part of the bigger creation that we call love The question is if Love can be defined with carbon atoms or not Is it a chemical or a pairing of bonds Or just a piece of distance filled with feelings It's not what you call it, important is, if you call it or it calls you...
