Recipe of Romance

A sprinkle of laughter
Turned steam with a kiss
   A happily ever after
Drenched in bliss

   A ray of trust
Shines brightly, two sided
   The calm of dusk
When the light has guided

   A pinch of elbow grease
A dash of selflessness
   Makes for a life of peace
Understanding and forgiveness

   A splatter of honesty
A spill of affection
   Creates an art of loyalty
Headed in the right direction 

   A shiver of touch
Provides a tingle of pleasure
   The task isn't much
The reward can't measure

   A cup of praise
Becomes a bowl of thrive
   Fills up the trays
And keeps romance alive
