It Is A Love Potion Poem by Raymond Cabrera

It Is A Love Potion



I think it was all just a hypothesis
The moment I saw this beautiful scientist
She was so lovely like the glow of Neon
Erratically smart as if like Newton

And every time she’s next to me
An elusive feeling consumed my anatomy
Then it appears that my heart;
Could no longer pump and tore me apart

Without any hesitation, I did an experiment
Will I win her heart or just a failure complement?
The very best scientific way I have done
But nothings change at all and leave me none

Several days had passed
I couldn’t think how long it would last
She talks to someone, I felt anxious
She lingered on them, and then it makes me envious

When the time I’m in this library
I’ve read a page that sounds so creepy
It talks about; and teaches me,
A Love potion that I could ever be

The days apace and the time has come
Let her take it or let her drink some
Now, the sleepless nights will be paid
I need to give it to her the potion I made

But as just the moment she drink
She grew wan and died gradually in my wink
I completely shudder from fear
And turn my back with my inevitable tear

I quiver and swiftly run
To the library where I started my plan
I review the dusty old book
Have a glance, skimmed and look

“Just a dropp of a scorpion’s blood”
I think twice, I never thought it could be bad?
“A piece of scale of a rattle snake”
Am I doing this for my love’s sake?

And now, I know,
That it wasn’t a love potion
I cry and grief,
That I made a killer poison.
