Capture

How does one capture a heart?
Is it an instantaneous moment of seizure
Ensnared by a singularly magical minute
A spell cast
In a twinkling of time
With just
One 
Touch?

How does one capture a heart?
Is it trapped in time
By a gentle coaxing, 
A trust
Taking it apart piece by piece
Until it is given away
Without 
Reluctance?

A profoundly well-thought out question. An appealing poem Debbie.
