Einstein's Ring

i hope you enjoy this go at an English sonnet and a bit of romancing the Science ... i added a haiku for the same title for fun .. let me know what you think :)

Einstein's Ring

My darkness falls over your haloed brow;

beguiling my heart, seducing my dream.

These eyes in search, the sourcing of the Tao,

a beauty eclipsed beyond what it seems.

Fair light is bending 'round curves, thus renew

dark matter enraptured heart in the skies

my gravity closing  a rainbow hue

to gather wrapped fingers of stars and sighs

Your presence was hiding behind cold shield;

while lightning explodes in brilliant arrays

Light sounding 'round heavenly faces yield

sun rings while Helios tightly at bay.

Gaze not in wonder God's gifts that abound;

songs of the Universe sing and resound. 

Haiku (of the same title)

galaxies hiding

eclipsing eyes perceiving

light bends delighting

Author's Note

from Wikipedia
"n observational astronomy an Einstein ring, also known as an Einstein-Chwolson ring or Chwolson ring, is the deformation of the light from a source (such as a galaxy or star) into a ring through gravitational lensing of the source's light by an object with an extremely large mass (such as another galaxy or a black hole)."[1][2]

dark matter: (same sourse)"Dark matter is a type of matter comprising approximately 27% of the mass and energy in the observable universe that is not accounted for by dark energy,"

dark energy: "a theoretical repulsive force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to expand at an accelerating rate.
"Einstein's theories allow for the possible existence of dark energy" "

For me, and aside of the Author's note, this was a meditation's experience, the connection with the higher divine power, the images You saw through it, the presence of Your lover whom was firmly there almost in each image, it was like floating through the universe, an experience not many can fully go through. an amazing sonnet Mr.E something new from You for me to read, and it was a pleasure and real joy, the Haiku is quite amazing and strong too, it's like a "waking up" message to open the mind, to see beyond what eyes can see, and in both poems I felt a sentimental yearning waving gently like the calm sea behind Your lines.

Thank You for sharing Your superb experience with all of us.

what can i say Light ... such a sensitive reflective read and review on your part ... i could not feel more gratified as a writer ... when you see and feel all the things in a poem we are truly connected says i! thanks so much Light! glad you liked it ... yes, sonnets are not my cup of tea and i have to work extra hard at them .. but i think i grow a bit each time i do ... as well as some of the other strict classical forms ... they stretch my word appreciation :}

You are always so very welcome, and I say that You surely have big and wide wings to adventure in the realm of poetry 😊 🦅

[Einstein Noodle]

:))))))))))))))))))))))) thanks Light!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Closing this star studded sonnet with a haiku was pure delight.
Your sonnet could almost double as a hope for love.
Very creative and beautifully shared.

[Chris Shaw]

I do enjoy a good sonnet Mr E. You have love making and science woven together beautifully in your lines. You have also thrown in a Haiku as a bonus. I have never heard of Einstein's ring, so must make a point of doing some research. That would please my Dad if he was still alive, him having attained an hons degree in physics. Your lines are wonderfully penned. Dark and light. We need both. We can't have one without the other. This is an older poem from your archives and I am delighted it crossed my path today. All good wishes from across the waters.

[Einstein Noodle]

and i am even more delighted it is you crossing it, Chris :) yes .. it is an older one .. they are getting some attention these days .. truly blessed by the attention ... yes! I hope you do look up his "ring" .. it is spectacular and i am sure you will find it so...i am connecting with you now, my friend .. over those waters vast and deep ... i think you can feel me :) great good fortune to you and yours ..

I feel your presence and thank you for your blessings:) You take great care of yourself, do ya hear me?

[Einstein Noodle]

yes ma'am ... you too

You do have nature. All in the universe is natural. Except for extraterrestrial contrivance. But as I understand haiku it has to reference a season as well. But who really cares when the words are right, right?

[Einstein Noodle]

discussion is one of the reasons we are all hear for i think .. at least i am .. don't you think extraterrestrial is Nature? I have never heard haiku must include a Season .. i'll have to dig deeper .. after all if it is called a haiku .. it must be a haiku right!? :))))))))))))))))
E.

[William Michael Reeves]

Extraterrestrial contrivance are devices. I'm convinced you are getting extraterrestrial assistance and that's why your poetry is so good!

[Einstein Noodle]

i tried to google Extraterrestrial contrivance and did not get anything back .. would you explain them to me .. if it isn't too involved? thank you also ... i appreciate your encouragement .. really glad you like me stuff .. :)

[William Michael Reeves]

They're desperate. Nothing to do with each other. A contrivance is a device generally used to manipulate something. Sometimes people. On your case words. Your brain being the device. Extraterrestrial is my way of saying you must have alien influences.

[William Michael Reeves]

Separate not desperate. Autocorrect again!!

[Einstein Noodle]

got it! poetic licensing at work .. not from outer space tho .. at least not that i know of :))))))))))))

[William Michael Reeves]

In the music of light you see your love. I like the juxtaposition of hard science and love. Which has no science. If only it did! We could understand it. I can see that you hadn't been schooled about haiku when you wrote this.

[Einstein Noodle]

love your review ... do you know or look up Einstein's ring? It is quite spectacular .. what is it about the haiku that is incorrect? It's nature .. the eyes being sun and moon i.e. .. i deeply appreciate your honesty and look always to better my expressions .. me thinks the sonnet would have more to object to .. i write them, or attempt them, to keep my abstract feet on the ground .. they are torturous for me to write and take forever. ;) ... thanks again for your review ..

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Light and dark cannot exist without eachother- as if a balancing needed - nature knows best- in the silence of beauty much mystery wonder and delight is found- to be part of such wonders is an honour of life to experience the silence wisdom of the unknown- some of the so called- ‘crazies/ mad/ non- intelligent are the wise ones- Silence has much power- wonderful write🌹

[Einstein Noodle]

yes! Thoughts ...i totally agree about the "crazies" ... thank you for reviewing .. your words lead me to a good place of gratitude and wonder as i think about them ... i'm up early...its 2:30 am here ... i am going to keep your inspirations and encouragement with me today ..i'm going to try to anyway ;)
E.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Please don’t try- do- all is possible when you believe- many blessings sent your way-happy smiles to brighten your day🌹

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Thoughts ... same to you :)

[Ardra]

I don't think anyone can make science sound so intresting.... ...
:p
You do a wonderful job of mixing both art and science...and ooh I first thought E. Ring hahaha... :)
Like the Saturn's ring... :) always found of that planet must be Bec of the ring I thought...
We girls have a thing for ring heheh

I loved all of it...

You are wonderful human...poet and friend ...
((Hugs))

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahaha ... there is a ring around me heart for my Norma dear one ... but yes ... this is not quite about that ;) truth be told i haven't worn a physical ring form many years ... thank you for reading and reviewing always Ardra ...much appreciated ... Science, in my opinion, makes much to-do about drawing that line between itself and expressions of any of the arts and religion too ... but i think they are wrong .. when science reaches their own "line" we see with the eyes of artists and spiritualists ...as an unbroken path says i! ;) big love, and joy to you!
E.

[Neville]

My word.. you are both a brave, and a clever so and so... I could never attempt such a feat... it seems you have succeeded on both counts... top marks and true............ Write on and stay well my good friend..... Neville

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Neville..you are too kind .. i love Albert, his work, his faulted life and math .. yet genius intuit ...and i think connections between science and poetry are undeniable ... i appreciate your encouraging review and for looking back through my pages for it ... peace brother! :)
E.

[Neville]

peace, love & a whole lotta respect, back at ya.... :) N.

[Great Aunt Astri]

OH YES! A real love poem! Einstein, you are a genius. You have elevated human love to great heights!!!!.........oer, perhaps it was not meant to be a love poem. But I will keep looking for one. I thought this one was a brilliant poem, anyway!

[Einstein Noodle]

well... it is .. sort of .. and meant to be a love poem for sure .. thanks for the re-visiting .. love ya Auntie!
E.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Both poems are very cleverly done. I am no expert but I think you have mostly got the metre right. A beautifully vivid poem. I too wrote about the Universe singing!

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for reading Auntie! my confidence grows with your review .. i am sure more tweeking could be done ..the sonnet ()especially for one like me) is not easy and goes through many re-writes .. but when i finally posted this and made several corrections after reviews ..i call this one done ;) with more work comes more pride i think .. and i have had direction from Richard and KL in the past as well as on this one .. thanks for taking time my friend!
E.
ps what is the name of your singing Universe?
