Divided 

It used to be that the simplicity 
of 1 + 1 = 2 was equal to 
the sum of a new whole -
the answer of me and you.
 
And maybe it started that way
but with the addition of our time and play,
the strength of bond between us 
was more than I could equate.
 
I was never much of a mathematician, 
more of an amateur statistician,
calculating the power of our expanding friendship
that multiplied to an endless infinite.
 
When you left, it wasn't just one removed,
but a subtraction of multiple proportions 
resulting in a substantial division 
to a fraction of what I was.
 
I would sine out but for 2 other coexistent primaries,
(being the radix of my existence). 
The base of which means, while obviously wearing,
I continue skip counting towards the infinite, 
but minus my imperative pairing.

Nice to 'see'/'hear you again. and cleverly twisting your mathematical words around!

I take it this is about moving forward after loss, while showing how much is lost. warm greetings, and prayer. Rhiannon

You always understand my poems. Thanks Rhiannon. This was written for a poetry slam that I host twice a month. This weeks theme "off on a tangent" (maths theme)

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

Very glad to see your name on here again too. I don't suppose you have a link to a spoken version of this do you? I still remember the fantastic rap you did once

Most of what I write now is performance poetry since I started running a Poetry Slam. I keep meaning to do some poetry videos. There is one in particular that I am very proud of which is a nonsense verse performed in Scottish (containing some Scottish words). I had to learn to do the accent especially. I wish I could have performed it for Bee. She would have loved it. I should do the video of it soon.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

I hope you post it here if you do - I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who'd love to see it
