Open Proposal To Corazon

The moment I first laid my eyes upon you

My heart jumped a bit and mightily proclaimed!

That you, oh dear one, are my equivalent mechanism

and my life's mechanical advantage, it acclaimed!

My heart plundered forward like a 16 cylinder V engine

And used up twice the fuel whenever you came into view

The hound! Power steered after wherever you went

And went into resonant motion when it met you ;)

And my time since with you has been exceptionally stable

No friction, no vibrations, only and only lubrication!

Ah, lucky me, God has indeed blessed me, I feel

as if I'm an electric car in times of fuel inflation @}---

Because you have been my perfect truss of strength

Reinforced with fiber composite material

And strong as stainless steel in times of need

Standing like the Golden Gate Bridge imperial!

My piston, we are like the mating teeth of cycloidal gears

No possibility of interference, no fear of undercutting

You impart me with positive drive, oh Love!

And are my safety pressure valve in times trying.

You are as dear to me as bearings in a hub

Like bushing around a pin to guard from rub

So I go down upon my knee and beg you to dare

My soulmate, will you be my closed pair?
