Interstellar Love
A galaxy can fall for infinite black hole
Abyss, I fall for you
Before the light of day
Can penetrate the
Darkness of your
Ego.
Free, and unbound by
Gravity, astray,
Highlighting skies, encompassed by your
Image, I
Jump. Just to bestow a
Kiss. To
Land where none before
Me ever landed.
No more of emptiness, or ego
Or abyss - I
Plummet.
Quasar will form where protostar has
Rendered.
Some say through space,
Through gravity, through voidness; Through
Universe itself, so far away, still
Visible beyond the Milky
Way, like jewels in the crowns of tsars
X-rays and gamma rays shine in coronas of Quasars.
Young disks like halos. Beyond the infamous
Zone of avoidance.
Footnotes:
Protostar - is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud. This is the earliest phase in the process of stellar evolution
Quasars (are a) subclass of active galactic nuclei, extremely luminous galactic cores where gas and dust falling into a supermassive black hole emit electromagnetic radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Quasars emit most of their radiation in the optical/ultraviolet (UV) band, through their accretion disk, and a small fraction in the X-rays, produced by a cloud of hot electrons called a “corona”
Zone of Avoidance - An irregular zone near the plane of the Milky Way where the absorption due to interstellar dust is so great that no external galaxies can be seen through it
Voidness is a word. I checked :P

Love poetry that is not only beautiful but teaches
Beautiful images!
Whoaaaa, this was so magical and mesmerising! Absolutely out of this world (pun intended, lol). Also, in the W line, did you mean stars instead of tsars? I'm so happy you provided glossary again! I loved your Abecedarian!
Delighted you explore science and poetry! Nice job on this poem
Outstanding work.
