COGS

COGS

magic mechanical beauty

Of relationships designed 

In symmetrical suggestions

Of an intertwine Devine

Each spindle spinning synchronized 

A mechanism maintained 

With ratios compliant 

Remaining preordained

A machine made to turn slowly

Jeweled movements so precise 

Torque and tension calibrate

This devilish device

Interlocking sprockets 

Whose precision give us cover

To counterclockwise turn our heads

From another to each other 

circular components

On a single axis spun

Gears that go together 

The rack and the pinion

Cogs cut to perfection 

Each tooth fits like a glove

Both hearts hold the key that winds

This contraption we call love
