Love Potion

Love Potion

A Poem by Susan Siegel
"

Comparing love to poison.

"
Love is such a bipolar emotion.
Filled with the madness from the potion.
And yet we drink, gulp it down.
Sinking in misery, we slowly drown.

Some just take a sip,
Just 'testing it out.'
But they never find out
What it's really about.

Others take in shots
to the back of their throats.
As they continue their games
and 'sow wild oats.'

Some sip it slowly
to savor the taste.
Many drink it too quickly
because of their haste.

For there is no right way
to swallow this potion.
For this poison fluid
is filled with emotion.

The cup now in front of me,
It's my turn to drink.
I swallow it hungrily
and pray not to think.

Lovely. Flows like a river. The rhyme scheme gives it a nice flair.
