Author`s Notes: In Love`s Rapture my essential goal and poetic attempt is to define and explain what love`s rapture is, and what it means for all of us as human beings. I cover certain salient aspects and details of love, and what makes it so special for all of us in this mortal world of ours. (Gary Bateman -- March 24, 2018) (Free Verse)

Theme Categories: allegory, emotions, feelings, god, happiness, love, and romance.

Love’s Rapture That insatiable and forever moment To capture and hold, deep and dear In thy heart and soul, whilst savoring Its enchanted and palpable emotions For the rest of thy life on this Earth. Love is fleeting for sure as this aspect Is a definite part of its eternal DNA in Mankind’s three-dimensional world of Finite capabilities and true experiences Where relationships can last a lifetime Or be suddenly torn asunder in terrible Moments of hot anger and sad betrayal When a couple breaks up and all is lost. Love in its truest sense of delectation is— That giddy feeling when two people first meet That instant when they gaze into each other's eyes That aura when the air smells of fresh red roses That hot rush of emotion as they first embrace That sensual moment when they kiss deeply That special confidence that all is now possible That ethereal moment as two souls become one Love’s rapture is that unique divine rhapsody Heavenly sent by Almighty God Himself. In the end, love’s rapture is what gives all of us That special sense of affirmation and shared worth As human beings made in God’s image. Amen.

Hello Anne-Lise, I just commented on your really great alliteration poem that I thought was quite a brilliant write!! Thanks too here for your comment on "Love's Rapture." (I enjoyed writing this one.) Yes, I'm still around, but less frequently on Poetry Soup as I'm transitioning over to the work required for my second book manuscript. (I am still posting each month, but at a reduced rate.) You can still reach me by e-mail, anytime, of course!! Have A Wondrous Easter Holiday!! Best Wishes from Ingrid and me!! Gary

Hello Vijay, Thanks for your excellent observation here!! Yes, for sure, "love" is that one principal human emotion that does make the world go around and around. It can be a wondrous and invigorating source in one's live. And, on the negative side, it can be a source for misery and sadness when people lose it and relationships turn sour. As a poet though, I'm still an optimist. We do need more it for sure in the world we live in today!! Best Always, Gary
