In the realm of limits, where numbers dance and sway,
A poetic expression, in a mathematical display.
Let me craft a love poem, with symbols to portray,
I exist, the beauty of a limit, as X finds its way.
As X approaches zero, in the calm of the night,
alone, (1+X) whispers softly, in the dimming light.
A tender equation, yet alone in its plight.
In the realm of infinity, where love takes flight.
X becomes 1 over ℵ, an infinite embrace,
As ℵ drifts towards the stars, in this boundless space.
A love that knows no bounds, a never-ending grace,
In the realm of numbers, our hearts find their place.
In the limit of our souls, where equations align,
(1+X) equals one, seeking a love so divine.
As X becomes 1 over ℵ, a love to redefine,
In the depths of forever, your heart is mine.
So let’s embrace this limit, with love’s sweet art,
For in mathematics and love, we find our heart.
As X becomes 1 over ℵ, a love that won’t depart,
In the boundless infinity, you are my counterpart.
Let us change the variable, find a new solution of devotion,
1 + 0 = 1, this equation cannot, alone, set hearts in motion.
I do not seek to disrupt the laws of mathematics, in my commotion,
A new equation… X+1=∞ , this variable better describes my emotion.
