Belonging!

I wrote this poem in 1998.
Here I am trying to say that there is actually nothing in the Heart of Matter as we can see in the atomic structure of the Elements.
When you go on dividing the subatomic particles we can reach to 'Nothing' finally.
Similarly there is Life in Death and vice versa.
Belonging
My Thought belonged
to a world
where
my homesick
mind healed;
quizzical heartbeats
answered.
Seasoned with
trite thoughts,
tight arguments and vexing axioms
I writhed unconvinced in mirth
that questioned my birth
on this Earth. Against all existence,
fecundated Non-being
My soul hovered over realms
of fetal things.The seeming regression
enshrouded my Dead-living,
splitting and denuding Everything
from envelopes of Nothing.
This evergrowing wisdom
shrunk and shrunk
into dotty sphere,
orbited self-centered.
From Infinite-Zero the Light broke
(indefinite to my expanding senses)
mirrored mirages of images,
my own visages.
Duplicating Entities
ringed, winged
volatile-tongued
professed Non-entity. In depths estranged,
Life fled in procreative currents
and sounded rotundity.
Borne of dust,
the stars dense and ablaze
convolved into Black-holes, Luminophagous. My Elemental specks drawn
in Eternal Pull
and disillusioned thus
in Continuum
I prolonged
in dark Cosmic shifts
Where Nothing Belonged.

The word "luminophagous"
In 1998, I coined the word "luminophagous" for light-eating Black-holes. That time I thoroughly searched the Internet and confirmed that this word did not exist. For this word, I remember, I searched the web through 'AltaVista' 'Yahoo!' and 'Infoseek', the search engines popular in 1998 when Google was not born yet and Netscape was the pre-eminent browser. And I could not find any links or dictionary entries for this word.

Belonging (in the usual format)
(Note: Because the above type of formatting does now show the specially formatted text as words for the internet search engines, thus the word count appears really low, lowering the overall page value, the Wikinut moderator Mark Gordon Brown suggested me to post this poem in the usual format as below)

This is indeed extraordinary and thought provoking. I love how you combine science and spirituality--linked together with the ribbon of a well extended, multi-faceted metaphor.

Creative beyond words, wisdom, and beauty powerful tools in your writing hands, love the new word, and your poetry is" luminophagous" eating at the black wholes of darkness and filling us with light...! Remarkable work, thank you.

I had been living in my own luminophagus space for ages. But now specks of light occasionally break through. I would love to share this with a certain group of know-it-alls who think they have cornered the market on intelligence. They would see that all they know is nothing. Brilliant share!

The knowledge of an individual is always a nothing, as you said, when compared to the infinitude of the expanding universe.

Where do we belong? That is an ultimate question. Thank you my dear Rathna.

Yes, that's the ultimate question.
My knowledge is nothing, but there's this thought from great thinkers that says, <We belong to 'here and now'!>.
And I believe that there's this 'here and now' is always with us.
Thank you sir, for the good thoughts you instigate.

Philosophical with scientific roots. A nice combination and beautifully conveyed into poetry. Awesome work, and both are subjects I adore.
