Even if there is a Cure...

Even if there is a cure

I wouldn’t want it anyway.



You think me ailing

Weak, bemused

But I say nay,

It is not this.



It’s love I’ve found

I caught it latent.

I crept up on it

And I pounced.



It never did

See me coming.

I must admit

I played the trick.



A ruse I may have

never fancied

err I hadn’t been

so quick.



So here it is,

within my pocket,

sealed tight within a jar.



I keep it safe although

It thinks me

Mad of course

but we’re on par.



Love is not the mastermind

It likes to think

It lacks much wit.



For if I can creep up

And devour it.

With such ease as I just did.



Do you think it half as clever

as my mind which did it this?
