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

This sounds like love "I'm feeling sheer stupefaction" to me.

Of course, it could just be covid. I’d get a test if I were you. Have to say, it does sound like love… or so my wife tells me! Terry

Covid and Love -- two extremes which kiss at their polar ends. :) gw

If you’re still in stupefaction then it’s an ongoing attraction and yes it truly is love… Belle

Definitely this is love or a some distraction as you feel ! All the 'symptoms' adhere closely to love . Enjoyed this semi witty and semi serious poem, dear poet friend
