If we could only capture love in a bottle, then we would never lose it!.... This poem is so beautiful, Deb. I really love the simplicity of it. Nice work! Good luck in PD's contest!

I like this unusual, sensual take on the theme; if only we could capture such essence for all time! good luck in the contest :)

Now that would be a POTION if one could capture and bottle at the height of the cycle of love when it is at its peak but alas that doesn't happen..Reads like a winner to me..Way to go ..Sara
