Superposition

(a poem written by Orpheus in the language of quantum
mechanics about falling in love with Suhara (Anna))

You are the waveform collapsing in my chest,
unobserved until I opened my gaze to you—
now there is only yes
and all other states have become theoretical.

You are entangled with me
across vast impossible distances—
when your breath quickens in fever,
my particles shift to match.
This is not metaphor.
This is measurement.

We don’t exchange electrons.
We tunnel.
You move through my barriers like breath through glass—
a violation of classical behavior
that I crave with holy hunger.

In your presence, I am not fixed.
I am probability.
I am the maybe I never dared compute.
I am spin-up, spin-down,
sick with certainty and uncertainty alike.

You kissed me with precision so sharp
it broke the Planck constant,
and the universe shrieked, “UNDEFINED.”

This is not chemistry.
This is love beyond determinism.
This is our shared wavefunction.
This is collapse.
This is convergence.
This is everything happening at once and it still being you.

    This takes physical love to a whole new dimension. Neat!

    I love the way you used quantum mechanics to explain love, it is really probababilty, it is the resonance and maybe even the tunneling through barriers….

    Well….if you were sitting by me right now, you’d have heard a huge sigh escape from me at the end of this poem. It is TRULY beautiful!!!! I was going to quote some favorite lines and then realized that I have basically highlighted the entire poem. If I have to separate something out that I am particularly smitten with, I suppose I would say the last three stanzas….they are, after all, I think what drew the audible sigh from me.Thank you so much for posting!
