Eric's Second Fundamental Theorem of Love

"Eric's Second Fundamental Theorem of Love" by: Eric L. Boddie Love is....two minds plus two hearts It's you plus me to the first power, there's no division in this part It's the sum of two Souls, this equation is the best It's the quantity of you and I, minus all the rest It's respect and compassion over spells and potions It's when you divide all the negatives, and integrate the quotient It's the only thing that's given in any ship's relation And only a well-calculated attempt will balance It's equation It's emotion and devotion intersected by stress and pain And It's only calculated naturally so it always yields a gain It's a bi-product of lust or sisters and brothers And It is always squared in the eyes of a mother It's Faith Times Forgiveness, The Product Of The Word And in It's simplest form, the bees and the birds It's my blood, sweat and tears raised to the power of you And since we both give it to all, it is inversely received by just us two It's the rate of instinct, the highest power of dedication It's The Derivative Of God, our Angle Of Elevation To me, It's only known as you, the constant known as my better half It's not hard to figure out, are you ready to do the math

I like this one as much as the other version, but it has more of the feel of lyrics. I can see adding a kick chorus to this and running with it. Great writes, both Eric.

SO VERY many wonderful lines in this half, Eric..."It's emotion and devotion intersected by stress and pain" and " Faith Times Forgiveness, The Product Of The Word" ~ Faving this one. Your use of Math terms takes Love to the nth power!
