Love and other Drugs

The passion of love,

Makes your heart move;

Get a good dose in,

Of life's oxygen, Oxytocin;

A simple pleasure,

Leads you to treasure;

Digging too deep in the mine,

Get you addicted, Dopamine;

Triggers your curiosity,

In every epic story,

That has ever been,

There's Norepinephrine;

A lot of stress,

Leaves you in a mess;

Such a pain to all,

Blame it on Cortisol;

The ride is thrilling,

Gets more exciting;

And you go all in,

Rush of Adrenaline;

Warm glow of fame,

Feel proud of your name;

Sunshine brings a ton in,

Success smells of Serotonin;

A dramatic tale,

An emotional cocktail;

Your life history,

Is Nature's chemistry!

The Alchemist

All around us,

Yet easy to miss;

Shrouded in mist,

The only Alchemist;

She is as old as time,

But has eternal youth;

Her skill always prime,

Her work speaks truth;

Her lab is the universe,

Her method, very terse;

With chemicals, only four,

She creates worlds and more;

Take a bow!

At her colorful rainbow;

Lo and behold!

She turns rock to gold;

The earth her bowl,

Filled with salty sea,

With winds that howl,

And lightning to stir,

She found the elixir of life.
