My first attempt

Ok try not to laugh but I have been reading alot of classics and modern prose recently and wanted to give it a go myself. I dont think I have attempted any creative writing since high school but surprised myself in having such a good time writing this. Feedback would be much appreciated as I really enjoyed the experience and want to give it a go more often and become better if i can. The poem is for my wife and is about our recent discussions about how marriage molds the two of you not only in to one but different people to what you would have been without it. Most of the references are plays on statistics term cause I seem to spend most of my life on one stats program or another. Anyways here it is.

Relationship Algebra

You the X me the Y
You my life but multiplied
And like to e we start but slow
Before exploding in expediential flow
Now we spiral with helix form
The pure ecstasy of fashioned norms.

Once the part but now the whole
Like gathered shards of scattered soul
Now the parts the whole unknown
The whole to which my soul has flown
And now the point we do accept
We are the points at which we intercept.

I thought you said "modern prose" not "poetry" -.o

Aside from my... general disliking for poetry...
I like it! Cute. :p

I love the mathematical theme.
