well worth it, love

Love's well worth 
all catastrophes led 
and leading on from 
the storybook ends 
towards which we direct
our cunning means, 
and find ever after's 
a beginning it seems. 

Love's well worth 
every dripping dip 
from its hope-soaked rope 
so well-bucket equipped
- since the well runs full, 
we don't dip too far 'til 
we both fall in.

At a penny a wish! 
With all doors and all windows
flying ajar in the witch-house
with which this well belongs.
So gingerbread cottage and cheesing out
in innumerable songs we don't have
to believe. But the option is there. 

And apparently does not deceive.
