COSMIC ROMANCE

COSMIC ROMANCE

Two lovers found each other
in the womb of the Cosmos -
In a Universe smaller,
and infinitely younger.

White hot 'Everything' compressed
into the smallest of places,
and the smallest of spaces,
expanding and cooling into
brilliant sparkling clouds of gas -
The formation of the
interconnecting galaxies.

These two particles stared
out across the Cosmos
at their opposite counterpart...
They were so very similar,
and yet so very different
from one another.

Their entire lives rotated
in different directions,
and yet they still felt
as though they were one.

They raced to embrace
one another, but found
that their's was a forbidden love -
One governed and ruled
by the laws of physics.

They were forever doomed
to their individual isolation,
for as soon as they met each other,
they annihilated together -

Converging with one another
into an indescribable energy,
powerful enough to destroy all that is,
and all that ever was.

The original Pyramus and Thisbe.
The original Romeo and Juliet.
A battle on a cosmic scale -
That of the two lovers,
Matter and Antimatter.
