Love Poem: Elixir Vitae

Written by: Steven Young

Elixir Vitae

cow bells ring 
through verdant hills 
rolling up to cuddle  
towering gray cliffs
spraying white foam 
intoxicating Alps
where Frankenstein
concocted Elixir Vitae
and birthed a monster
rich red wine 
and a pot of fondue
on a cafe terrace 
jagged tip 
of the top of Europe peeking 
through the fluff hugging
its head and shoulders
stunning monster
the Alps
Elixer Vitae for an
old soul
