the other periodic table

the other periodic table

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


the other periodic table

 

 

finesse my heart

with your subtle intrusions

i am gladly violated by your smile

and deft touch

 

the physical beat accelerates

the emotional beat makes me move

in your direction

the rhythm of need

entwined with the migration of want

 

and we dance purposefully

in a circle of silent words

felt rather than spoken

a token of a chemistry that finds its own steps

 

without formula

just forms colliding.

You had me at hello, finessing the heart, and dancing purposefully. Another gem from you prolific pen.

So romantic...with a sense of urgency and passion. Nothing scientific about it...sensuality at its best. Lydi**

No need for formula -- the image of two colliding, without rules, very sensual.

"just forms colliding".... probably more "chemistry" in these 3 words than that whole other periodic chart... this one made me smile Jacob and this has a music all its own... nicely stated and felt all the way back here in Brooklyn....

Dear Jacob erin-cilberto
This relationship verse of yours really catches me. I have a wonderful husband and we just need to appreciate what we have! You really got my attention with "the other periodic table."Chemistry becomes precious somehow from your pen. Thanks Kathy
