love is a field
permeating spacetime
woven into the cosmic fabric
complementing Higgs
in sensual symmetry
infusing creation with
not mass but meaning
its strength not restricted
by a mere #number
but an unbound infinity
that overflows my soul
when i look into your eyes

like woeful orpheus
i dared to venture deep
into the stygian abyss
of my shattered mind
to persuade the cruel
god of madness
to return my
strife-free life
alas, like ancient #myth
ascending to the light
i foolishly looked back
at future hope
and it was lost to me
forever

i will not yield
to this hateful condition
spawned by my damaged
and dysfunctional mind
but i will strive
with unwavering resolve
to overcome my demons

do not #measure my worth
by my life's lengthy
litany of weaknesses
but rather judge me
by my fight to improve

when your face I saw
'twas without a flaw
yet your icy core
i could not thaw

Stańczyk by Jan Matejko, 1862
The jester, Stańczyk, reading of the loss of the Polish city of Smolensk to the Russians, sits in solitary misery as the court celebrates unaware of the news.

are the architects of the universe
answering our greatest question?

why are we?

yet though they show us
we fail to comprehend
their celestial intellect

the #language of the cosmos

is it there before us
elegant, enigmatic
yet unknowable?

do we frustrate the gods?

One of life's true joys is having shared #history with someone you love. That cute girl who sat behind me in physics class fifty-two years ago, now wife of forty years. The weft of happy memories and the warp of tough times, when we had to dig deep, weave a rich tapestry. #vss365

My father, Heinz, died 25 years ago, and today would have been his 100th birthday. He was a wonderful dad. There is so much I wish I could tell him about the years since, especially the achievements of my kids. I love him and I miss him. ❤️

were a result of

from giddy gyri heights
to abyssal sulci depths
the #geography of my brain
a convoluted complexity
alas aging axons and
leavening limbic lassitude
have trapped my memories
in neural oxbow cutoffs
abandoned & eroded
and thoughts of youthful us
fade with the passing years

don't remember me
the #famous fuckup
who let down all who cared
disappointed all he loved
failed this worthless self
myself
let my ashes scatter
in the keening wind
my atoms return
to the cold, distant stars
come for me obscurity
wrap me in anonymity
don't remember me

once more she sits with him
a sad, silent stranger
her once familiar face
lost in the formless fog
of his decaying mind
yet from these
coils of confusion
she waits with warm embrace
"come take my hand, let's
#wander_along_gone_years
wrapped in remembered love”

i've oft pondered
what makes you
you
a divine melange
of heavenly gifts,
an ethereal light
illuminating
an iniquitous world

but such idle speculation
is as futile as the old debate
of how many #angels can
dance on the head of a pin

it's all of you
no single part
i adore

it's strange
but no matter
whether we're
at the top
of our game
or we've hit
rock bottom
floating up
on cloud nine
or down
on our luck
there is still
a strong attraction
between us and
you still make
my head spin
with your #charm

my proposal was far from romantic
at that grungy student party in Leeds
in the early 80s The Guns of Brixton
belting out on the tape deck
a difficult track to smooch to!
"get up, you’re pissed” you hissed
but you said yes and the #promise
we made 4 decades ago holds firm

it’s now or never
a fleeting opportunity
do i have the courage
to ask you out on date?
heart racing, tongue-tied
a #moment of inertia
alas my indecision
extinguishes my dreams

born of mere cosmic #vagary
or the whim of timeless gods
light from a trillion galaxies
paints a glorious #starscape
glittering in mute testament
to the panoply of creation

yet the wonder it inspires
is but naught
compared to the miracle
of your friendship
