# Love Wanes # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Love excites ecstasy

to the souls of lovers

yet, its sweet nectar becomes arid

and only trace of memories lingers at the end.



Love's idealism reign the heart

when romance reaches the core

but after everything is said and done

Nil remains of the love but bits of pulp.



Love is strongest while young

when heartbeats race to flow

and hot bodies indulge the show

later the magic vanishes as glow that wanes.
