Been a while since I posted actual poetry here. Well, here ya go:

If I had one dime for every time I yearned for you
I would be in possession of 1092
For each flashing image a penny
one million two thousand and ninety-three

Four dreams each night with you in it
a thought of you every fifth minute
An eternity for each day of creation
seven days a week I am numb

52 weeks in a year; 57 in which I yearn
451 degrees of heat cannot burn
the mental diary of my burning love
and all 32 stars in your smile

Two magnificent years of your joyous laugh
0 times have I tried; 84 times less than I should have
NUMBERS can’t add up my love for you
no logic can explain it

The balance is unequal yet maintains
no other love can be greater than or equal to mine for yours
if I subtract you from the world
zero lives remain

A graph of sine turns tangent
when you become present
24 hours 6 to dream 18 to bleed
the x factor in love is still a mystery

Bits and bytes of poetry to make
your searing memory keeps me awake
I could travel at 299,792,458 m / s
yet it is still darkness who first beckoned

I am grounded on all fours
I still have three strikes before
I hold out two arms and ask you to forgive
yet I have but one life to live

Thanks for reading.
