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.

Yes there are. And some of them have even been in my room!

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...

Rubicon I don't know how I have missed this but I am so happy I found it. Like the value of the PI which is not equated yet to a real value...I think it does equate it to how we can use it in our way, weird, or pragmatic, or realistic, or scientific, the fact that it exists so, so be it.. I will use it as the equation of Paris for my dreams with the one I will have to find to love...Now even I am confused...But thanks so much..

Hi, Rubicon76,
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..
Rubicon76
Thank you ladies. Yes I suppose I consider that the point. People love to be able to define and quantify things but both love and Pi elude our best efforts in this regard. We just have to enjoy them for their very natures.
Rubicon76
So sorry WW...it was never my intention to confuse but glad to have sparked your interst.

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...
