RESEARCH

[ Poem's comment: On the inspiring image there's an artist's conception of a binary star system with one  black hole and one main sequence star
An accretion disc is a structure  (often a circumstellar disk)  formed by diffuse material in orbital  motion around a central body.  The central body is typically a star. Gravity causes material in the disc to spiral inward

 towards the central body.  Gravitational forces compress  the material causing  the emission of  electromagnetic radiation.  The frequency range of that  radiation depends on the  central object. Accretion discs of young stars and protostars  radiate in the infrared; those around neutron stars and black holes  in the x-ray part of the spectrum. ] 

If you ever thought 

By disappearing 

You could ravage 

You 're wrong, dark star ...

I guess you know! 

You already assured

Eternal entry 

In my ecstasy 

Light years ago, 

When the fusion 

Of our evergreen 

Souls as imbalanced 

Twins stars in space 

had began... 

Though you 're vanishing

My material 

Is attracted

By you, black hole! 

Spiral Vertigo... 

Will you caress 

Me with your already 

Emitted light

Until my death?

Absorb the rest 

Of my existence. 

Without and with... 

Always together. 

For you I exist! 

Through my being, 

You perpetuated... 

I shield my eyes tight!
