Love Is a Malady
"Love is a lady for which there is no cure." John Dryden
Love is a malady for which there is no cure.
Some endure a bitter pill.
They dare to love,
Seeking Heaven's benevolence.
But the pains of eros
Outweigh its gain.
Love is a malady for which there is no cure.
Alluring is the hope of pleasure.
For this a wounded soul will risk,
Seeking a glorious romance.
Though the heart breaks,
And the heart will never end.
