A Mathematical Rhapsody

A Mathematical Rhapsody

A Poem by Raj Sahu
"

This poem shows the sentiments of a mathematician towards his lover in mathematical form.

"


I doubt; Can I live long rather?
As we both are parallel lines, which do not meet each other.

To understand you is a task very hard;
Before that, the problems of Mensuration I will regard.

Expressions of your face frequently deviates,
That the comprehension of sine and cosine alleviates.

Our only meeting of love made me disappoint.
It was like a tangent that meets a circle only at one point.

I promised you there that all your expenses I will afford.
As I am the diameter of my family circle, which is the longest chord.

My love towards you will truly suit.
It is a quadratic equation of real root.

In your friend circle, I was too your friend.
But I was like an Arithmetic Progression's term of the end.

Your deception make me full of sorrow,
My life becomes as a cylinder hollow.

In your love, I myself dangle.
I act as an unknown value of an angle.

In your life, I am one of the obstruction.
It seems to me that I am an endless construction.

“In your love, I myself dangle.
I act as an unknown value of an angle.

In your life, I am one of the obstruction.
It seems to me that I am an endless construction."

I should really applaud this work of you for both of its parameters- unique and humorous. I am really startled how one can knit a poem, a poem of love, through the central theme- Mathematics. It is really an amazing work. Somewhere I find rhymes a little odd, but it's effect outshone by this amazing love comedy. Thank you for sharing.

Indeed the image is humorous😁 but as a math hater I can look it with love cause it's not circle but heart shape!!
Then what will be it's radius?? Obviously not 4/3pie r square😀 and I would've fall in love with math if it wasn't all that areas and squares and lengths.......😯
But you're poem gives a relaxing laugh!
Nice read😊

Thank you!
I love this concept for a poem, this was amazing to read. I loved the different analogies you've added in this one.
Admittedly, I'd hoped you would have used the analogy of the asymptote (no matter how close the two lines may ever get, they will never truly be together).
"In your friend circle, I was too your friend.
But I was like an Arithmetic Progression's term of the end."
I really enjoyed this analogy. Awesome work!
