Cuddling you,
is like a mathematical equation.
All elbows and angles,
spoonerisms and square brackets.
Just as a
parent he sis-
te-math-ically
square routes,
and exponentially
asterisks the mattress,
to become algebra
beyond my comprehension;
yet squared and integrated,
your obtuse, hypotenuse,
is surely a sine
that we can tessellate,
calculate and co-ordinate,
affirmative action,
and solve
an alternative angle,
between curves.
The geometry of
cardinal em-braces,
satisfies the
conjugated,
conjugal,
bed.

Ah! You make me dizzy. Math beyond adding, subtracting, multipling and division I have no further use.
I think most of us can say the same! π
Perhaps one of the most creative pieces I’ve read on a long while. So much fun to read. Great job
Thank you very much indeed – very kind of you to say so, glad you enjoyed it π
Lovely Alex.
Thank you π
How do mathematical terms manage to create such a vivid mental picture? This is so original and so witty as well as rather profound–at least to this old happily married broad? How I wish I’d written that!
Thank you π Sometimes a wild idea just springs to mind! When I look back at some poems, I do a double take to check that I acctually wrote it π
Oh, me too! So glad to hear it from someone else. I do have a bad memory, but…
