If I possess a living soul
Let it fill my life's frugal bowl:
And mix elixirs' grand design,
To give me peace before my time:
Give me intellect to inspire,
To always be one to admire,
And if my breath will breathe for naught,
'Ere the cause of death; a love clot.

A "love clot". That's an original if I ever read one and the poetry is 'bedtime prayer' perfect.

A "love clot". Could it also be that strange phenomenon that keeps things up when using that magic 'V' pill?

"Love clot". You are amazing Jerry.

More feelings and fewer words please

Nay to the "magic 'V' pill," Ari. Just the if's and and's and but's which live inside love's life. Thank you, my friend.
