Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Magic Love Potion

~ A magic love potion ~


Gazing out over the ocean
   My eye caught the crest of a wave
Dreaming of a magic love potion
   That could our faint-beating hearts yet save
from the ravages of time, seas apart...
   As wave after wave crashed shoreward
their sound drove a stake in my heart
   How to conjure some new way forward...

When I espied something bobbing near me
   A bottle I reeled in with a rope
      Inside your love letter I, astonished, did see
         ~ Our magic potion, bobbing on a wave of hope

Lindsay Laurie September 28, 2019 at 8:51 PM Hi there Gershon … yep, well written again on a topic of romance. I have heard that the smell of money can be a love potion too, but that was from an eighty year old man who recently married a twenty-two year old lady - once again, thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf September 28, 2019 at 9:57 PM Ha, ha. Guess he got hitched to a gold-digger, eh?! Thanks, Lindsay. Cheers, Gershon

M. L. Kiser September 27, 2019 at 8:12 PM Cleverly penned piece; great imagination in this one. Gershon Wolf September 28, 2019 at 9:56 PM Thank you again and again, M.L. for your kind words and for all of your support. Best wishes, Gershon

Brenda Chiri September 26, 2019 at 1:54 PM Never unlikely my friend but always "could be". Stranger things in life have happened but this is amazing!;) Gershon Wolf September 26, 2019 at 3:53 PM Well, I guess... Who knows? … One in a million odds, but then again no different than winning the lottery. :) gw

Chris Green September 26, 2019 at 8:36 AM This one was fun my friend. A love message in a bottle, how romantic. Gershon Wolf September 26, 2019 at 1:03 PM Thanks, Chris. --And thanks for refraining from saying, "How unlikely," which I was thinking after I'd penned it... Then again, you never know in life... :) gw
