Recipe for Love (or How to Create a Soulmate)

A Poem by Meggy

A recipe to create love, by way of friendship.

*Disclaimer: This recipe, if not followed correctly can easily turn into a recipe for disaster, a ruined friendship, world war three, and possibly the apocalypse. Please follow all instructions carefully and at your own risk.

Ingredients:
One Male (Divorced and Lonely is my preferred brand)
One Female (Virgin! works best)
1 Tsp. Physical Chemistry
6 Seeds of Trust
A Spoonful of Secrets Shared
5 Splashes Alcohol
1 Clove of Friendship
1 Kiss
A Dash of Raging Hormones
A Pinch of Rejection (By a Third-Party only!)

Instructions:

Place your female,
and your male
together in a bowl.
The bowl should be dark,
filled with pounding music
and the grinding of bodies.
They meet and greet,
muffled introductions
by a mutual friend.
Let sit until
something has begun
to brew.

They should meet again,
converse quietly,
eyes for each other only.
Chemistry crackles,
sizzles between them,
tangible, hot to the touch.
Bad first impressions thaw,
melting away
their outer layers.
The promise of a new beginning
blossoms as you stir.

After they have set,
fold in a few
late night phone calls.
Add a sprinkling
of secrets shared.
Not too little, nor too much.
Two hearts,
beaten together,
melting into one.
Add seeds of trust,
and the clove
of friendship.

They begin a
cautious dance,
to whisk away depression.
Fold together until
the lumps of rejection
begin to disappear.
Add a splash (or 5) of alcohol.
The whole thing boils
with a steamy froth of lust.
One kiss,
where lips meet
is the icing on our cake.

One kiss,
which leads to another,
which leads to more than one kiss.
Decisions bubble up,
a dash of raging hormones
spills over the top.
It will look like
a steamy hot mess.
But keep stirring!
Fold together,
until they can
no longer be seperated.

Now you have two true soulmates, two hearts melted into one, which makes one whole person...
