A Spark

If I had been seduced by some device
You tried on me with easy mastery,
We would not find ourselves so much at sea
Now that the bloom is gone, the gentle spice
Which seemed so sweet, which sweetly could entice
Surrender from me; I expect a fee
Could be devised for such fine strategy,
Were it in practice, an exotic price.

But no one was seduced, not you, not I:
Between us we decided to embark
On this adventure. Were you very sly,
Was I unduly clever? In the dark
All smiles are similar. We did not try
To misinform. I say there was a spark.
