Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

If This Isn'T Love

This feeling...
  feet fairly skipping
knees a bit wobbly
  the lump in the throat

Heart pounding away
  lips drier than crackers
arms cloaked with gooseflesh
  head spinning like a gyroscope
    
If this isn't love, it is quite the distraction ~
  ~ Believe me, I'm feeling sheer stupefaction
