The Mathematics of Love
The Mathematics of Love
The Mathematics of love are quiet simple really
Though we may think
Some algorithmic logistic
Imparts some spiritualist medium of the heart
Perhaps some benign logic
Of arithmetic fractions
Seconds
Multiplications
Doodle numbered connections
And additions
Of lets say
Hair
Auburn
Brunette
Eyes
Brown
Blue
Smile wide
Lips soft
Figure
Breasts
Muscles
Six pack
Legs
Cute butt
And Marilyn Monroe’s blonde of
Brad Pitts
All
Or so we think
Earn their decimal places
And then again fates quasi Phi
Of destinies numerology
Can’t explain why
A circles circumference
Never quite meets
In eternity
Predictions in logarithms
Tables of calculated emotions
Are tapped and squared rooted
To the power of x2
And by the beauty of numbers
And the power of their equations
Set in motion the moment of turbulence
Which equals chaos
Fractal forms of
How a beating heart
Communicates
To its soul
But the mathematics of love
Is very precise
Simple really
In the convoluted calculus
Of Roman numerals
Add
One
Love
And throw the complexity
Of perfection
Into disarray
And still
The answer
Is
One
Subtract
One
Love
And throw the complexity
Of perfection
Into disarray
And still
The answer
Is
One
