Seven Stages of Love
Attraction,
I look, we met
A chain reaction
Until a date is set
Thus begins the attraction
Infatuation,
I sigh, she is wet
Unsubstantiated
She is, I bet
Likewise, Infatuated
Love,
Dripping sweat
Soaring above
Like a thundering jet
In the realm of love
Reverence,
I owe her a debt
In deference
To her wishes, yet
Also in reverence
Worship,
The stage is set
To sail our ship
For Romeo and Juliet
To adore and worship
Obsession,
My one great regret
Those voluminous breasts
I did not pet
When I was obsessed
Death,
For that she beset
My dying breath
A final threat
Before my death
I look, we met
A chain reaction
Until a date is set
Thus begins the attraction
Infatuation,
I sigh, she is wet
Unsubstantiated
She is, I bet
Likewise, Infatuated
Love,
Dripping sweat
Soaring above
Like a thundering jet
In the realm of love
Reverence,
I owe her a debt
In deference
To her wishes, yet
Also in reverence
Worship,
The stage is set
To sail our ship
For Romeo and Juliet
To adore and worship
Obsession,
My one great regret
Those voluminous breasts
I did not pet
When I was obsessed
Death,
For that she beset
My dying breath
A final threat
Before my death

Wow… too many words… just choose one… I would go with “he doesn’t know what he is doing”… but this is just me….

Attraction…check
Infatuation…check
Love…check
Reverence…check
Worship…check
Obsession…check
Death…check
They forgot:
Reincarnation … where I come back and claim what will always be mine
Torture…so they won’t forget who they belong to
Bliss…self explanatory
Love your poem, Sam 😉

So, I gotta say I love the rhyme scheme. Pretty cool that you created a stanza for each stage and gave a little tidbit to each of the stages.
