Love Potion
By heinzs
Extracts of herbs , collected by the Blood Moon. Savory juices distilled from esoteric fungi lovingly harvested from the forest floor at midnight. A tuft of hair surreptitiously stolen from her hairbrush when she wasn't looking. The potion steeps in Mother's cauldron. Loving words evoke the guardian spirits... 'As I will, so mote it be'. She carefully adds, '... and it harm none.' The talisman is cast, potion-soaked cotton in an old cloth tea-bag. Next to my heart, the brown stain invisible to all but myself. I bolster all my courage and approach her the next morning. 'Hi... I notice you come here often.' She smiles, and the sparkle of that act hits between the eyes and throttles the throat. 'Why... yes! And I have noticed you, too.' So begins our romance. Would it have been the same without the love potion? 10-24-2001Reposting from the bottom of the woodpile.
