Valentine's Recipe

A poem I wrote earlier this year

Throw in a dash of serendipity

that led me across the world to you.

A sprinkle of Heart’s yearning;

it whispers of deep and tender emotions.

Add a few quarts of lasting passion

to keep our crimson blood from cooling.

An ounce of play, a pinch of teasing;

strengthens the bonds we’re forging.

Next, a pound of understanding

to smooth over what makes us unique.

And another dash of laughter

for when things become too bleak.

Stir it with a kiss, feathery and piercing deep,

because only through this connection

can the recipe of the heart be complete.

This is beautiful. I love how you've concocted a romantic relationship in this poem.
"Add a few quarts of lasting passion to keep our crimson blood from cooling," is a beautiful line with an interesting sentiment. I like that this is one of the bigger measurements. Are you a passionate person, or is that just how you see things?
I also love your diction and use of eloquent vocabulary.
Nice font as well. It gives the poem something extra that I just really liked.
Overall, fantastic job.

I like to think I'm a passionate person. Ah, but thank you for the review. :) Oddly enough, this was one of my favorite poems.

[Anjelica Allen]

I can definitely see why. You have a right to be proud of it.
