Author's Notes: This "Rhyme" poem is entitled: "Love's the Soul's Fire." With this particular poem, I've taken a bit of a deep dive into the rapturous, but quite necessary aspects of "Love" as an integral part of all of our lives. I do my best to address this theme from both a common perspective and a metaphysical nature as related to the "Human Soul." As difficult as love can be for all of us at times, it's still that all-powerful, emotive force that compels us to seek solace in one another's shared company while finding (or attempting to find) that more profound linkage with our individual soul and perhaps God himself. Love is always a quite special topic for poets and dreamers. It is, after all, an incalculable force in our finite human world that does indeed make the world go round. And it may be later, an integral aspect of one's admission ticket to Heaven, that is, if one is Heaven bound, which lies in the realm of God's grace and decision and is clearly not for us mere mortals to make. I hope you find this poem to be of interest!! (Gary Bateman - January 4, 2015) (Rhyme)

Love’s a mystical force, that’s laden with nectar and emotion,
That many people sacrifice so much so often for in this life.
Love has the properties of an all-powerful alchemic potion,
Which is said can better help those in such a forlorn strife!
This famous four-letter word has such a unique persuasion,
And has made those lost in it so hopeless to understand it.
Love’s been known to make people quite crazy on occasion,
Which makes it most alluring and for some—a proverbial hit!
Love does make one very crazy at times because of its sheer power,
And its ever-emotive force affects surely the body, mind, and soul.
Love’s all-pervasiveness puts it in demand daily and by the hour,
And its deep influence is felt so special within one’s mind and soul!
Love’s that special emotion that many never really get enough of,
And as the language of Cupid, it sends signals not always clear to see.
This fuels a person’s fury when he or she only desires to be loved,
And will sacrifice all so greatly while crying even on a bended knee!
Love’s the soul’s fire and it makes one’s life whole and worth living,
And it’s the balm which calms frayed emotions—a surcease of sorrow.
Love’s an enchanted state of being, that when shared keeps on giving,
And with its angelic qualities helps all of us find that better tomorrow!
Love’s the soul’s fire, influenced by Cupid’s most wonderful intent;
And Love, worth its weight in gold is most worth having in our life,
As one seeks its solace and divine rapture on that final angelic ascent,
When God calls one’s soul to Heaven love abounding, free from strife!
God’s message is simple—a special need of love in one’s life and soul,
And that’s why love’s the soul’s fire, which makes us human and whole!
