SYNOPSIS Poetic Elixir is a mixture of poetry and fiction based on love. Whether love brings pain and sorrow or joy and jubilation, it is a pivotal aspect of all human relationships. Sometimes it can be difficult to express your true feelings. However, once you are given the opportunity to peruse the full scope of a situation, usually after the fact, many different scenarios come to mind. It is in an attempt to capture the true feelings brought on by these situations that inspired the writings in Poetic Elixir. Though most of the poetry in Poetic Elixir is based on events which occurred in my life, some are merely fictional writings which were lived vicariously through my imagination. I hope you will enjoy Poetic Elixir. Remember that love, while often times painful, frustrating and humiliating, can also be beautiful, enriching and life altering. May all of your love relationships be miraculous.

My follow-up piece "Sapphire Elixir" will be coming some time this year! This volume will be a little bit racier than the first and ever so romantic. Until then, I'll give you a little sumthin' sumthin' from time to time to check out. Much luv as always. Sincerely, Rhonda Fay Wells
SPRUNG Are the visions that pulsate through my brain cells really true? They only seem to show up when I'm thinking about you I can't control the shockwaves that hit me like a bolt I can't control the shaking, or the spasm or the jolt You invade my brain and squeeze my thought process into bits Other thoughts, no not likely, so I'll give up, call it quits But you're worth it, so I gladly surrender to the flow Besides, what else can give me such a thrill from head to toe? From the moment that I heard your voice my body came alive I seriously debate that without you I could survive So, just what is that voodoo that you do so very well? Is it science, is it sexual, or is it just a spell? I doubt that in a million years I'll ever figure out Just what this magic brain control I'm under is all about But, please do keep giving me your sexy ESP I'll keep it on the down low, between just you and me.

GENETIC STRANGERS Contently sailing along, when through coincidence and circumstance We were thrust into each others’ lives; bound through blood and DNA Though we're family we've just met, through pure and utter chance I didn't know that you existed, never knew until today So we smile and embrace; we gently share our hearts Our eyes, filled with emotion, are overflowing with tears For a deeply sacred secret has effectively kept us apart It seems we've missed each others’ lives for more than thirty years Who's to blame for such thievery…was it Father, was it Mother? The question subtly lingers in the back of my mind All I know is that I've been blessed with a brand new Brother There's a new love in my life that I'm so thankful to find. Though resentment would be easy and hatred is knocking at the door Letting it in won't buy us time no matter what we do So we've decided that forgiveness would net us so much more We'll begin to build our relationship and focus on the new.
