Physics And Chemistry Of Love Poem by RAJ NANDY

PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
OF LOVE

Loves physics and chemistry has forever
remained a mystery!
There are no permanent equations to resolve,
Its unseen wave like force!
It travels through four dimensional space,
At frequencies higher than electromagnetic
waves!
It remains unhindered by barriers of cast, creed
or clime,
Giving two beating hearts a feel of the divine!
It generates a magnetic force field, making two
hearts silently beat.
Yet Biologists claim that a chemical called
(PEA) Phenylethylamine,
Triggers loves molecules in the human mind!
Chocolates are rich in this PEA content the say,
And is a perfect gift on a Valetines Day!
The chemical Dopamine, makes the lovers to
glow and feel fine, -
When they live on love and fresh air and forget
to dine!
While Norepinephrine, which stimulates adre-
naline production,
Makes the lovers world go round in a joyous
motion!
Oxytoxin, that cuddling chemical, requires
constant contact for its effects to prevail!
Cupids arrows may be dipped in its pail, -
Before those arrows on lovers begin to hail!
Unbearable attraction leading to infatuation,
Making two hearts beat as one with loves
emotion!
But such feelings remain for limited duration,
Varying with people with different emotions!
In a mercurial type loves ecstasy gets mixed, -
And they frequently require a PEA fix!
But those who stick to a single mate,
Are said to be rich in Vasopressin content!
And finally when infatuation gradually subsides,
Chemicals created by Endorphine slowly overtakes, -
When calmness and stability with loving bond
prevails!
This Endorphine is reputed to be rather addictive,
And firmly binds those forces released by PEA, -
Which are seductive!
