A Recipe For Marriage - Inktober 2018 day 13

A Recipe For Marriage

This is a tried and true recipe.
The secret is to source your ingredients carefully.
Find them at roadsides, in forests and dives.
Climb mountains at midnight if necessary.
This is a reliable recipe.
The trick is to avoid following it strictly.
The truth is it’s nice, and never the same twice.
So add your own flavours and idiosyncrasies.

Ingredients:

*Love is the obvious one
(As much as you need, 
From the many places it comes)

*Lust comes in handy
(As much as you like)

*A twist of trouble

*A soupçon of strife

*Neurotransmitters for a dopamine hit
(They come in handy when you’re feeling like shit, 
But if you can’t make your own then shop-bought is fine)

*Some terrible poetry like “My heart is thine.”

Method:

The method is simple, just mix it, 
And drop it and break it and fix it.
Let it be messy, not pretty or perfect, 

But let it be yours, and let it be worth it.
