҉𖤓

Dark matter whispers

"Though I can't see you

And I can't feel you, you're there"

⁂☪︎

Cosmic hide and seek

Dark matter always wins, yet

Never takes credit

༄𖠰

Universe expands

Dark matter plays puppeteer

Stars dance on its strings

᯽✾

Galactic weighing

Scale groans under unseen mass

Dark matter giggles

࿐⚡︎

Physicist's lament

"Dark matter, oh dark matter

Why won't you show up?"

෴𖤛

Invisible glue

Holding galaxies intact

Cosmic duct tape reigns

❃𖠑

Dark matter dating

"Seeking visible partner

For gravity play"

௵𖢇

Universe's gift

Wrapped in darkness, tied with strings

Theory can't untie

𖢠𐀔

Cosmic lost and found

"Missing: most of existence

If seen, please return"

☬𖠑

Dark matter musings

"To be or not to be seen

That is the questions

First, this is beautiful in spirit and presentation. Second, how did you do those cool font effects and emojis? They are lovely!

Dedicated to Thomas Kuhn

Anomalies build

When theories are flawed. Prepare

For paradigm shift...

Honeygloom's avatar

Very cool guy!! I had to look him up, it like reading literature criticism theory, which I always kind of liked.

erniet's avatar

Yeah, dark matter seems like a "fudge factor" to me...there's all this unaccounted-for mass so let's just add the number to our equations and call it dark matter!🫤

It means there's something wrong with our theories...

Like when you show up to an address but there’s nothing there, it’s not a dark house, it’s the wrong address.

Your substance and mine

Together for eons, but

I’ll never know you

Honeygloom's avatar

So tragic! I hope we get to know it some day🖤

Everything has an

opposite counterpart, so

who is your dark side?

Honeygloom's avatar

Ooo nice! I think i am my dark side😜

What is regret? Does it have mass?

What is sadness? Where's its gravity?

Sad regrets weigh heavy on us.

Honeygloom's avatar

Oh man, dark matters indeed. Is this what we’ve filled the universe up with? I love this🖤

When you realise

The gothic universal

Then darkness is all

Honeygloom's avatar

😍I love this!!!! So perfect, well done🖤

Dark matter has opposite.

That light shines through

The holes it penetrates.

Honeygloom's avatar

Interesting! Has me picturing dappled light through a tree. Cool image🖤

Richbee's avatar

Like a knot hole?

Where were you last night?

I had your dinner waiting

Answer me or else!

Dark matters

Honeygloom's avatar

Very dark indeed, and very evocative, well done🖤

Free from watchful eyes

Nothing matters in the dark

No evidence found

Honeygloom's avatar

Oh very cool! A little murder and mayhem in the dark? I love it🖤

When that box opened,

Is this what flew out, and now,

Can't be put back in...? 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Pandora’s dark matter??? Fantastic! I love this 🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

Thanks! Yes, she's back again, clutching her box like a 'Deal or No Deal' player. Haha... 😎

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

It's another callback to an earlier prompt! Haha... 😎

your secret nature

refuses all form, and yet

gravity compels

Thea Wood's avatar

First. This is beautiful. Second. How do you get all those cool font effects in there?

This is so lovely and dark. We have these places I’d imagine, where we hide the dark matters. Very cool🖤
