Inebriant Is Affection

Inebriant is affection
when hearts to hearts are hot
and pangs can cut the tendering
Effects not short of alcohol !

Come to my heart - take it slow
One atrium at a time
The right - when at first sight
The left - when attractions grow

Ventricles are the portico
Emotion at the door !
In cadence debuts the lifeblood
That solicitous ore !

That synonym - the saviour -
the kindred in kind - 
like life and death -co-exist
How much like brethren they are

Live and blood steep in vermillion
How vital they are !
Then one and then the other
One distills - the other gurgles on.
