I
This is what plane geometry (Euclidian geometry)
tells me;
it tells me that [a];
(the long, curving line
of your neck, outlined
in the darkest of chestnut curls)
plus [b];
(the swell of your hip
rising from the sheets, the sweet temptation
and the beautiful mystery of the
hidden)
equals [c];
(the wonder that you
perhaps do not see in my gaze
when you catch me
staring)

II
Euclid’s Five Postulates
tell me;
1.  Let the following be postulated: to follow

with my fingertips
the flower of your lips
and the swan’s curve of your
jaw

2.  To produce [extend] a finite limb with infinite

elegance
ad infinitum widening my eyes
and awing me with your
unwitting dancer’s grace

3.  To describe a circle on the

glorious plateau of your stomach
to trace around your belly button
navigating the breathtaking landscape
of your valleys and knolls

4.  That all will be right with the world

when the angles of my angel’s arms
circumscribe a closed figure about my
body, that we are
equal to one another

5.  The parallel postulate: That, if upon falling

in love
I become greater than I was
before we met;
we will exist parallel to one another
indefinitely [yes]

III
Euclid [I] believed
that his axioms were self-evident statements
about physical reality.
All I know is that; (taken as a physical
description of space, postulate 2)
asserting that space [and love] has no
boundaries
(i.e., they are homogenous);
and [postulate 4]
that they [we] are also isotropic,
so that figures [we] may be moved
to any location [and to any distance]
while maintaining
[happiness; devotion; ardor]
congruence.

IV
This is what plane geometry (Euclidian geometry)
does not need to tell me;
you + me =
geometric perfection
[love.]
