the parabola
of your umbrella
as you offer it to the girl
becoming
increasingly
damp
in the rain

the ellipse
of your lips
against
hers

the circle
of your ring
around her
pretty little finger

the hyperbola
of your backs
arched away from
each other
as you sleep
soundly
in your bed

(if only she were me)

You are the Sun.
Gravitational pull unmatching.
I feel your presence so entirely magnetic.
Caught in your orbit, I'll stay
Constantly I pray. For a Hyperbola;
An un-ending, un-wavering escape
So bright, my eyes can't tolerate
You give me life, but a cancer you create
From the moment I step into your light
I open myself up;
To risk. To death.
To end. My end.

And your perserverance.

Asymptotes
Vishnu Teja Jun 2015
We have it
We don't
We are never together
Even though it's meant

Like the rails of broad gauge,
seemingly meet at infinity!
Like the borders of earth and sky,
appearing to meet at the horizon!
You are a hyperbola;
I'm your asymptotes.
We'd meet for sure, Only after an eternity!

The fragility of the heart is the closest certainty I know
I used to think a broken heart was a hyperbola
give a description of your remission  
the loudest sound of all love unspoken
yet we always hear the sound of love broken
and if  you repair something broken
it is never the same even if the flaws are never seen
the more it breaks the harder it will be to pawn off as being in  perfect condition
if you sew up an incision you will most likely see a scar

taking sides
picking flowers
dead and buried
on the surface line

counting hostages
trading stamps
extended infinitely
at right angles

cozy spaces
married couples
perpendicular
legs and mingled stria
one over the other

It's all conjugated
hyperbola
a tourist trap
with zero interest
for a year

Never did I belong in this patch
the hatch of lies and misconception
where ice covers all there ever was
where maps are painted, never was
the touch of grenades and bombs
as tombs and gravestones stomps

Never did I belong in this patch
the coded identity, the spirit implosion
where ice covers all there ever was
where the hyperbola sits ever alive
on the mouth of the North Pole
as distance lands remains unreachable

Never did I belong on this patch
the production zone of slave machines
where we labour and bore workers
where institutions are unfunctional
feeding loneliness to the masses slowly
as the truth remains covered inside ice sheets

The perfect reflection of change
Revealing the illusory dichotomy
Of a present on the move
Fading into the past,
Approaching the future
Like a moving hyperbola
Casting a mysterious shadow
On things we can never know

Sacred prostitution,  temple prostitution,
cult prostitution & religious prostitution
are general terms for a ****** rite
consisting of ****** *******
or other ****** activity performed
in the context of religious worship,
perhaps as a form of fertility rite
or divine marriage (hieros gamos);
Some scholars prefer the term sacred
*** to sacred prostitution in cases
where payment for services was not involved;
               Ritual servitude is a practice in Ghana,
Togo, and Benin where traditional
religious shrines (popularly called fetish
shrines in Ghana)  take human beings,
usually young ****** girls, in payment
for services or in religious atonement
for alleged misdeeds of a family member;
In Ghana and in Togo, it is practiced
by the Ewe tribe in the Volta region,
and in Benin    it is practiced       by the Fon:
|In projective geometry,       Pascal's theorem
(also known as the hexagrammum mysticum theorem)
states that      if six abstract points are placed
            anywhere arbitrarily,
the points     randomly    |        chosen form           a conic
            (i.e., ellipse, parabola or hyperbola);  
joined                    by line segments
in any order to form
a rotational            three dimensional        
                                    quantum space;
                        of       the three pairs
                       of        opposite sides
                of the hexagon (extended if necessary)
  meeting in three points
  which lie on a straight line,
called                    the Pascal line of the hexagon:

[Hieros gamos of Hera               (shown with Iris)]
   showing a *******
     w/    Zeus, 1900 drawing of a fresco at Pompeii.
Hieros gamos or Hierogamy
(Greek ἱερὸς γάμος, ἱερογαμία "holy marriage")
is a ****** ritual that plays out      the marriage
between a         god and goddess,
especially    when enacted in a symbolic ritual
where human participants represent the deities; BS -
[a nice, hot **** is clearly what is meant]

        The notion of hieros gamos  
always presupposes literal ****** interaction
   in ritual, but is also used in purely symbolic
or mythological contexts, notably in alchemy
                      and hence Jungian psychology.
