Recipe for Love

What is your recipe for love?

have you written it down?

Do you have a formula

you stick with?

Or have you tossed the recipe

down the drain

and you can’t come up with

a new one to light your fire?

Have you lost the match or the flint

to get your recipe for love

burning up the night?

You can’t see the glow

from your fire burning brightly?

This is because you didn’t

want to follow your recipe for love.

A recipe for love

is built on trust, faith, happiness and hope.

Did you forget that

and not follow your heart?

If you seem to remember,

your recipe for love

flows through your veins

and is a warm crimson red.

It flows through your whole body

and lights a path to your soul.

Your heart hasn’t forgotten,

but there’s been wood glue

stuck in your brain.

Scrape up that glue

and open up your mind

and you will once again

find your recipe for love.

It’s yours and yours alone.
