I was not ready
a sonnet of how love can catch you off guard

I did not even have to open it;
The door made way for her as she did come
all without disturbing me. Not one bit,
I shudder even as my heart did drum.
Foolish to think that I can escape still,
her merry mirth or her wonderous love
that blooms like flowers in the window sill
awaiting for the Cat's paws' gentle shove.
But I was not ready for such a force,
so provocative and true. To unearth
entropy in its not so splendid source,
washing out every atom of my worth.
I was ill prepared, for she brought rapture.
Not something one can catch, hold or capture.
