Transcendental
For a real cutie-Pi
They tried for centuries,
To square your circle,
Whole lives wasted,
For the love of your curve.
Close enough was never good enough,
Your secrets will never reveal,
A final solution to describe,
Your perfect shape that I see and feel.
Your ebb and flow controls my world,
Time and tide dance to your whim,
A beauty, rare from the chaos deep,
Sculpted from raw universe by Him.
A value for Pi will never be found,
Regardless of the names and faces,
It will take more than science to define,
Your infinite number of decimal places.
But I know someone as perfect and mystical,
I ache to feel her hand and touch her face,
A future moment of rare enlightenment,
A kiss will flood me with her grace.
Your beauty lies beyond mere numbers,
Transcends all others that I see,
And mathematics cannot explain,
Y U R the way U B.
To circumscribe my feelings for you,
Won’t be easy to discuss,
A ratio of perfect impossibility,
Love’s circumference to radius.
I think you are more precious than,
The great secrets of our world,
My pleasure is your time and kiss,
Around your finger I am curled.
For you, my heart is without account,
Lust oddly coexists with notions gentle,
Suffice to say my love for you,
Is boundless,
Indefinable,
……Transcendental.

I read a book about the evolution of our concept of the mathematical notion of Pi. I didn't realise it took more than 4 centuries for people to come to the conclusion that it is a transcendental number which is impossible to define exactly and that some people spent their entire lives trying to prove it was a specific value.
I think it will take me just as long to realise love's indefinability also. And even longer to understand some women...
Tangentially, though one can conclusively define neither love nor Pi, one does know one is happy when Around your finger I am curled... in the reality of A ratio of perfect impossibility...boundless……Transcendental..
Apparently there are supercomputers somwhere which are still calculating away Pi. People are looking for meaning in the numbers. They say that there is a series of eight 8's somewhere in the second or third billionth digits. I think it's up to around 9 or 10 billion decimal places currently...
