Unspoken: Poems of Love and Memory

An Unmeasured Reaction

About this poem

An Unmeasured Reaction is a poem about love, memory, distance, and the invisible forces that connect two people across time. Through the language of chemistry and the cosmos, it explores an unexpected connection that remained dormant for two decades, only to awaken through poetry. It is a reflection on longing, separation, emotional memory, and the possibility of reunion.

An oil painting style illustration of a woman standing on a stone balcony at night, looking up at a vast cosmic galaxy and a glowing silhouette across the distance. Glowing golden energy streams from her chest toward the cosmos, and an open journal resting on the stone wall displays handwritten poetry and subtle botanical sketches.

The morning when our elements aligned,
my orbit collided with yours,
a slow dawn blooming in my chest,
overflowing with love.

It formed a quiet synthesis,
an unmeasured reaction
that knew no logic, reason, or barrier.

An inescapable yet gentle gravity
pulled me toward your center.

The cosmos knew the thread between us.
The combustion was bound to happen,
and so was the separation.
A crucible in which we were meant
to grow, transform, and purify ourselves.

You planted a seed within my heart,
and I left it dormant in the dark.

Now, two decades later,
it begins to sprout,
and I find myself reading your thoughts
across the distance.

I carry you within my spirit,
perhaps as an abstract energy
that pours into the rhythm
of my poems,
quietly tuning your inner frequency.

My words hold a certain power;
they are woven from
genuine care and memory.

And through my poetry,
I am slowly unveiling
the love I have carried for you.

When you are ready,
we will surely reunite

Until then,
I will wait,
not in sorrow,
but with the quiet certainty
of the day
you return.
