Dichotomy of Choice
You had me at hello!
Should have better said it with red roses,
Than gifting carnations yellow.
Is it just a few chemicals working overtime?
An irrepressible, heady cocktail in its prime -
Adrenaline rushing my heart,
Cortisol and anxieties pricking like dart,
As serotonin brings back memories, my mind can’t thwart.
Is it just me doped by dopamine,
Or is it something more surreal and divine?
But as this melody chimes,
And works on us at different times,
As asynchronous as cosine and sine;
Meeting only momentarily,
At the reciprocal of under-roots of us two, by design.
If the roots and the path we take are so similar,
I don’t know what keeps us apart, oh dear!
Even the functions and constants,
As disparate, irrational, elusive and complex
As exponential, pie, and ‘i’ -
First, representing acceleration and escape;
Second, symbolizing perfect symmetry,
Bending a line, and binding it in a circular geometry;
Third, under-root of negativity,
Finding its existence in a world imaginary -
Combine wonderfully with unity,
In Euler’s Identity,
To lose themselves
In the purity, simplicity and nothingness
Of a timeless, dimensionless zero.
All the pieces of jigsaw, so complex
Find each other through warps of time and space,
Surrendering themselves to completeness.
Waxes and wanes,
Our feeling for the other.
Sweet, it is sometimes, and sometimes sour;
As asynchronous as cosine and sine;
Marred mostly by thoughts asinine.
All we need, is to increase our power,
And unite to be one, in the new equations we discover.
Otherwise, we remain a couple of functions, defunct,
Where one of us has to fade, for the other to rise.
