Words so tart my mouth puckers closed
The taste of dill agitates the bubbles of ferment within
Into intense animosity sending me reeling in agitated motions
Rancorous cancer eats away the words of compassion
Distressing perplexed mixed up upside down spiraling out of control
Bitters of frowning intense hated meanings in lemonade stews
A bordello of wanted feelings in bitter aftertastes
Pureed limes in concentrated bliss

In a bitter pill I absorb you totally in a bath of mistrust
In grievous pain I learn to smile in the boils of passion
Mentally absorbing words ferment in me in the caresses of past pains
In the fine tuning that creates masterpieces my insides tear apart
In such harmony that sour notes change into intransitive senses
The behavioral balance of fine wine lay your lips upon mine
As lemon meets grape we filter together in candlelight

In the medicine of change your chemistry creates the friction of reaction
In the chill of bubbles you create the warmth of cuddles
For the osmoses you create conquers the spread of mistrust
In the holding of hands the blend completes its circle
For the mouth now puckers for more chemistry
In that state we age together in the vintage of everlasting taste

BRAVO!!! Wow, this is a very powerful sentimental poem, sweet friend, it too always saddens me to see such grief and animosity always poison compassion and the taste can be so bitter we just want to spit it out while we anticipate the honeyed tea of comfort to quench it down! (big hugggssssss) Your words are always a delight to read, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
