love & insanity
Love and Insanity belong together
since the first Tea Party ever
yawning Boredom demanded activity
"let´s play a game!", answered Insanity
They all were explained the rules of "Hide and Seek"
but Cravenness´Courage was to weak
Truth refused to hide herself
so they stayed watching on a shelf
The other guests agreed to play
The Enthusiam was shouting "Hooray!"
while Insanity´s counting they started to hide -
anywhere - but sheer outta his sight
hidden in a rose´s briar
captured there like in a wire
Love was waiting quietly
while he´s searching patiently
till his patience turned to worry
still found were Happiness and Glory
every hide should be searched through
nothing else was left to do
But Ambition handicapped Success
and Accident fought Luckiness
Malevolence spoiled Felicity´s fun
and Jealousy made Charity run
Insight and Intellect couldn´t work together
Egoism said "Help without advantage? -NEVER!"
Deciding to search on his own
Insanity was left to find her alone
Finally he saw a briar her seize
stabbed in with a stick but gouged out her eyes!
so Love´s day turned to night
and he felt sorry for her plight
Since that day he´s her fellow
guiding her through deep and shallow
"Because of me you´ve lost you sight,
I´ll promise you to be you light!"
