Key to the Universe

If she only knew...

Key to the Universe

.....by Christian Gallagher

 

If they only knew...

 

...that I possess within me, the key to the universe

They would torment my mind with their affliction

To gain access to the power from her beautiful untapped potential

 

She possesses a magical mystical gift

That can change the chemistry of the hearts & minds of every man

Her imagery alone can send time in a tailspin

He's always trying to stop to take her with him

But she resists time after time

 

She harnesses the light of a trillion suns

That radiates through her electric-blue eyes

 

A billion hearts would stop, just to beat for her once

 

Her words will whip a man's brain into a frenzy

Causing sanity to take off on a beautiful crazy journey

 

They would risk it all for just one memory

 

To be one deep exhaled breath from her lungs.

 

And here I am...

 

...a man with a secret

 

The secret of where the key exists

That's locked away in a place where no one will find it

A place it will wait, until the universe is in front of me

 

Then I shall open up the lock and walk into this enchanted mystical place

Where I will close the door and lock her from the men who give chase

 

I can imagine the unseen beauty, the walls of gorgeous graffiti it displays

Any cracks or holes will be repaired with my untold love

Nurtured with my soul I have opened to roam free within

 

Light any stars that have dimmed and give them life again

Be the caretaker of this vastly expanding universe

The guardian that will serve and protect her most guarded secrets

 

Most of all I would live happy inside this universe

And stand tall & proud

In the center of it.

If you have the key to your universe, hide it forever, never let it go, and always remember where it is. Many of us are looking for the very same key, and many of us will not find it, and often do not deserve it. The most important thing when you have the key is to pay attention to the entry, because the lock will be changed it the door is neglected. Great write, It really made me think. Thank you.

[Chris Micha]

Such amazing words kind, sir! So glad you dug this piece and I thank you!!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and she is the key, but i must hide that fact...she is my friend and i must love her from afar..i can never let her know...that lock must not be opened.

[Chris Micha]

Jacob, you have summed this poem up perfectly my friend. I am honored!!

Firstly, your friend, Erika is beautiful. (: I lurv her hair, lol -- she's lovely.

Secondly, your poem is amazing. I agree with what Streamline said, " If you have the key to your universe, hide it forever, never let it go, and always remember where it is. Many of us are looking for the very same key, and many of us will not find it, and often do not deserve it."

I really loved the wording and how it seemed to be in two different parts but they both linked to each other, however, they made your poem have a whole other meaning... deep write, Chris.

[Chris Micha]

Thank you my little Noodle. That is such a sincere review and I am so honored by your beautiful words my dear!!

Christian, this poem transports me to a magical place where secrets of the universe are held under lock and key. It's mystical and magical and I adore it. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm saving it to my favorites. 100/100

[Chris Micha]

I'm am humbled by your sweet words. I am so appreciative of your time to review. Thank you!

I, too, have a fascination with the art of numbers...especially the Fibranacci principle. I may not have spelled that properly, but it is a rule of numbers and proportions that Leonardo Di Vinci used to create many of his works of art and engineering. Beautiful.

No matter what key you have, there's a universe that it will fit. We live in a multi-universe. Into how many shapes may a clump of clay be formed? Every shape exist somewhere, and there are an infinite number of them. Perhaps you’re the lock that a universe is searching for, and that universe is the key. All you need to be is yourself.

[Chris Micha]

Yes, this is the same view I have as well. Thank you so very much!

My favourite part is "She harnesses the light of a trillion suns That radiates through her electric-blue eyes." Such a beautiful kiss between metaphor and personification. And the fact that the syllables just roll off of the tongue makes the part even better. I love Tesla, and this poem is a wonderful tribute to his divine genius. Keep up the amazing work!

Neurotically yours,

Wow thanks so much Mister, I am so glad you liked it! :)

This is filled with an impassioned frenzy... slowly building into a beautiful fantasy!
Each line displays the magnitude of her attraction, in which you have vehemently expressed from your heart.

Lock and key... it's your world!
Magnificent!... creative write.~xoxo~:)

romantic indeed! ;)

Erika may be beautiful, but the way you describe her is even more so!
I enjoyed how you italicized specific words, and the overall form of this poem was amazing!

"She harnesses the light of a trillion suns
That radiates through her electric-blue eyes

A billion hearts would stop, just to beat for her once"

Very passionate. Those lines are now officially stuck in my head.
