It has a sweet taste too Which only the heart can tell But the body can feel And the hands can touch too. But it does go sour. Yes! Indeed it does; Add a little selfishness A pint of forgetfulness Large amount of lies, Deciet or simple pretense. Remember to add Lust Which leaves love to rust, You can add a little trust That which already is lost. Envy, anger and jealousy Are to be added in large quantity. Remember the all-mighty pride, The only ingredient to set the tide For a journey of no love lost. ©NobleHeart

I think if a poet writes good sentences she/he can't go wrong. Here's how I read it: Love, after all, is just a word. Boiled, it can have feelings that cut like a sword. Love can leave wounded reeling in insanity. Etc. Etc. . .
