Love, Lust, Or Joke

I did not seek love. But love somehow sought me I was hidden in the closet Safely tucked away and sealed. But when love found me It was very much here to stay I found myself bound-- And there was no escape... The binding had permanence. I can never be free... It will hold onto me- Throughout all of eternity But as I sit here pondering, Bound tighter in these ropes. The question comes into conscience Was it love, lust or just a poor joke?

if you feel bound with ropes than maybe it's a joke, but i love this poem and your metaphor.

And what is the answer, Sara? Fear binds and suffocates. Bravery loosens the rope and binds eternity to trust where love can really bloom... forever growing. Love to you. God be with you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
