love triangles

Equilateral:  this may be best -- 
points even-spaced and polyamorous --
but I know that is not the way for us.

In right triangles, one vertex is blessed
with direct lines, while the others are oblique; 
that fits, I think -- you disagree?  Well, now... 

Acute isosceles.  I'm looking down
A long and narrow angle, just to seek
a glimpse of you, while you -- no?  That's wrong?

Then what do _you_ suggest?
			Scalene, obtuse.
Irregular, untheoremed, wide and loose -- 
like the three of us, hopelessly unstrung. 
'Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare', 
but love holds nothing equal, nothing fair.
