Maddening Mathematics
Converging forces, volatile and caustic
Magnetism drew us two poles together
south on south
Defying physics ,advice, and common sense
We tempted fate and dove in
...in straight jackets
Your unabashed, uninhibited way drove me wild
Impetuous like a child, I was the toy
My outspoken, wild, and lively heart lured you in
Your rivaling sexuality compelled me
Fires burning bright and lively, shining in one space
Feeding off the common oxygen
Meeting in the middle, devouring each other
Our flames' outer flickering intertwined and danced
Oh so hot, we moved the earth
Making love for all it's worth...
...sweating, gasping, grabbing rapture
Competitive inclination drove
erotic mingling to crescendo
One step past the edge
sex was sport and we gladiators
Appeased one another's arena
We could never be...My best friend, My BEST lover
An equation seemingly perfect from every side
Her Thunder and mine
could never exist in one space
Aware of this...parting ways completely
Neither she or I could bare
a friendship remainder
in these maddening mathematics
