Asymptote An asymptote is a tangent that touches the curve at infinity. I was one, and a positive unity That a mystery ruptured apart. I have none but the one opportunity That has strangled my desperate heart. I am split by the one incognito In pursuit, and pursuant to law I am running ahead through the litter To retrieve what is destined to go Unrestricted. And still I am chasing Not to seize but to steal – I am still. I am doomed: never cease to be gazing At the object of passionate will That is dual but endlessly rigid, Unapproachable, endlessly close. I am running, the breach is a digit Getting smaller; devoid of remorse. I am eager to know, I am learning, She is cold and unyielding like steel, I am longing to reach, I am yearning, But the truth is forever concealed. It’s a trough hyperbolical passion Will deny thus refusing to bridge, So alluring and tempting a mansion Overlooking a treacherous ridge. In this mad asymptotic compliance With equality shifting centroids, Being doomed, overcome by reliance, We are stubbornly chasing the void. |

Brilliant. (Although I loathe the thought of Asymptotes... it brings back the horror of my Pre-Calculus days). Lovely write. Welcome. "We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."- Henri Poincare (1854-1912) |

I forgot to apologise for the mathematical (or near-mathematical) content! (Now I do.  I personally find your loathing fully justified. |

Thank you Sunshine! By the way sorry if I do anything weird or wrong - it's only because I'm a newbie here and not very well familiar with the customs and controls. Thank you friends! |
