IS THIS LOVE THEN

IS THIS LOVE THEN

Am I the only one who isn’t really sure

When love comes knocking at the door

The face one may not at first, recognise

Then trying to stifle that look of surprise

It is supposed to make one ask for more

But never knowing quite what’s in store

You let them in yet can a smile say it all

A growing fear of being set up for a fall

Such suspicion from a previous haunting

And early full commitment was daunting

If not allowing it to progress, it will stall

Like running headlong into a brick wall

The brain’s uncertain, the heart says yes

A final decision is required, more or less

No passport or I.D checks to be applied

And they’ll be free to roam, once inside

But is this really love, I still have to guess

The topic about which one should obsess

Just then, did I detect a Cupid arrow hit

My heart missed a beat, but did not quit

But isn’t it supposed to be instantaneous

Feelings being more than miscellaneous

Has my situation changed, if only a bit

When liking is not love and it doesn’t fit

Perhaps in time, it can put down roots

I cannot ignore these springtime shoots

As now is the moment it decides to start

It runs in my veins, both head and heart

The equation of love, always computes

And will be victorious, whenever it suits
