# Sweetener # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

If love is salt

is it enough to taste

such flavor in one's life

can it not be enhanced?


Having someone to love

and be loved back is ecstasy

and great feeling to appreciate

but becoming liked- poles do repeals!


A sweetener is a supplement

that makes love an excitement

and keeps the world go round

petty qualms do make the trick.


In love, misunderstanding vaporizes

and condenses into a sweetened bond

for love cannot be considered genuine

if such cannot withstand emotional trials.
