Experimenting with phrase lengths and odd time. Inspired by love.

A drop, like dew

Timidly ferments

Coasts down the cleft

Frayed glass creates

The space augmented

The crisp, even valley

A lateral highwire

Symmetry between mind and matter

Eyes cry like streams flow

It begins with molecules

Struggling to find respite

Writhing against natural barriers

Beating paths of weak resistance

Powered by raw innocent passion

Attempts to break atomic bonds

Blindly attain a sense of will

Despite the latent risk

It might be illusion

Like this,

Biology is a circuit.

A drop, like dew

Thick as oil

And red as blood

Trills and weeps

Now above,

The glass's bottom

Once held bottled compassion.

Beautiful! I love the symmetrical composition. And the science imagery. Thanks for posting.
