The Scientist & his Muse ...

He tinkers with timers and jars ...
Solves formulas and creates new ones ...
He propounds theories ...
And, proves them right ...
All along he immersed himself ...
In work none could understand.

All was hunky dory ...
A perfect World for him to live in ..
Till she arrived ...
Then, nothing was the same....
The was something ...
That stirred within him ...
His heart skipped a beat ...
He lost count of his days and nights ...
She was all he could think.

A goddess of his dreams ...
Dreams he began to dream ...
Dreams that shattered ...
When he came to know her truth.

Yet, somewhere deep down ...
He knew she never lied ...
She was the epitome of Love ...
A love he craved ...
The Scientist immersed himself ...
In his work yet again ...
While she waited for him to Realize.

The Muse...
Aged and ripe ...
Yet untouched by vice ...
Waited upon the man she fell for ...
The man for whom she took a chance ...
The man who threw her out ...
The moment he knew her truth ....
She waited ...
For he was her truth ...
He was her fountain of youth.
