Fragile Recipe

Mix some quick silver of the moon
A pinch of the cry of the loon
Then add some mist of shadows dance
And you have the key to romance.

Twill open almost any door
Twill sail you to forevermore.
A potion with a fantasy
Encapsulates loves mystery

It is a fragile drink to take
Each drink exacting in its make
Too much destroys its illusion
To little leaves no conclusion.

So let the alchemist beware
And mix the portions fair to fair
And keep the scales at even tide
Or the potion will not abide.

It also comes in a bouquet
And happens almost everyday.

YES ... it does happen almost everyday ...
everytime I read YOU  

Your poetry is my bouquet ...
roses, poppies, daisies, carnations,lilies of the valley,
and YES..snap-DRAGONS *L*
ALL grown in Eden, in the wisdom of the earth's soil and your soul, watered with Heaven's forgiving rains and your tears...warmed by the suns rays and your heart.
My oh my, how lovely your garden grows...
and how we grow in your light.
thank you for sending us flowers...and giving the butterflies a place to play

very gentle, the touches of late 19th century and early 20th century language give it added romance
enjoyed the read Seymour!

To look beyond the horizon's scape
to wear the mask with mystery's cape
allow but one to enter the door
and find a love forevermore...

sit here beneath the willow's bend
find a charming forever friend
and you are treated to a winsome breeze
when you read just one Sy reverie...
