Asymptote

The line observed.
 

Its angles transparent,
 

Like the fanciful dream of a sliding geometry.
 

 
 

It’s the hint of curve that plagues me
 

of a slender and willful architecture.
 

 
 

It’s the acute optics that pitch me downward
 

into a maze of unrevealed canvas
 

unearthed and unexplained
 

and spreading into the heart of oblivion.

Lines angles and curves to lose ourselves.
I hadn't read any of your work lately...

Reviewed by Georg Mateos 2/19/2009
The poem is the straight line with the illustration picture being the tangent, with an air of the top end of a violin giving a softly hight C, like a spider's tread to captivate yet not making the reader a prisoner.

This I enjoyed also but oddly I did not see what the others who commented saw. I guess I'm a romantic at heart and read this as a tale about a lover who betrays with their words.

Fascinating poem, the allusion to the painter and the canvass
too is very compelling

An accomplished poetic piece... "Asymptote" glows.

Long healthy creative life, Poet.

Like the tightrope clean lines of this one, Dawn, which are as a springboard to all the angles and curves that exist in potential. Like rods of iron before they are wrought. Elliptical and thought-expanding write. TY K xx

Kinda like the vanishing point of two parallel lines... cept ones curved here I guess one is one a downward spiral here.
The for the brain gymnastics, now I need a kip..
Reviewed by Regis Auffray 10/24/2006
Thank you for sharing this poem and for teaching me a new word, Dawn. Love and peace,

Regis
