Love is the drug

 


Love. 

Now in pill form.

Take once a day,

drink it down with a kiss.

Let it dissolve upon your lips,

and await the feeling

of bliss.

 

Side effects may include,

a sense of longing,

wanting to be as one in

a loving song.

Never being able to decide on food,

because you want the other to be fed

the meal that suits their mood.

 

Common side effects

of this product also include,

a raised heartbeat

from the very moment

that eyes dare to meet.

A giddy feeling, that turns

your legs to jelly,

figuratively not literally.

A heavy feeling in the chest

when you disagree,

like at school when you fail at a test

and you know that it is history.

 

May also cause

hot sweats, wet palms, 

bit lips and withdrawal symptoms.

Butterflies that zip around inside.

A picture behind the eyelids

that can't be moved aside.

A feeling that life has opened wide

with all new songs to play alogn the ride.

 

You may find

that your thoughts

become fuzzy, focusing

on all the joy of spring,

Even if you were

always a gloomy being.

You could find yourself

trying to better your mental health,

improving your self,

to be who they need you to be

and who you need to be.

 

You may find joy in poetry.

The flow of flowery words

no longer seem alien,

but somehow aligned in you,

like the moon and the stars

whenever you spend

an evening sharing the view.
