Love's Arrest

From the first time we met,
I could feel it;
my excited heart palpitating
each time we met thereafter
can bear me witness
I craved your company.
But i needed time
to reassure me
this feeling flowing
in my veins
wasn't heading
for an untimely death.

I ignored
your beckoning hand at 
first.
But ,soon,you closed in on 
me,
and I know now
I've got no more chances
under heavens,
oh poetry,
to resist your love's 
arrest.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
