Author's Notes: This poem, entitled: "Sentiments of Love" is a Rhyme Royal poem that I wrote on February 19, 2015 for release in my new book of poetry. This poem speaks to the passion, emotions and love shared between two people. Normally this style of a seven-line stanza is written set to iambic pentameter, but in this instance, the second version I wrote was in varied meter, and was smoother and more descriptive and worked better with the ababbcc rhyme sequence, and so I decided to go with the varied meter approach for this particular write. (Gary Bateman -- May 9, 2015) (Rhyme Royal)

Categories: allegory, emotions, feelings, love, metaphor, passion, and romance.

Meter: Varied

Rhyme Sequence: ababbcc

Sentiments of Love Our passion defines two loves now as one, And what we share now is life’s great treasure! Our emotions My Love burn hotter than any sun, Ensuring that our rapture as two is such a pleasure, And that a love so grand is truly beyond any measure! When we stroll together—and talk, embrace, and kiss; It’s like being in Heaven—something never to miss!

Thanks Robert my great friend -- as always. You and your wife should check out my latest Sonnet to Ingrid (my wife): "That Spring Love in Your Eyes." I know your wife will want you to write something similar (HA HA)!! It's late here now in Germany, but I plan to access your creative writing link tomorrow for sure. (BTW, A mail packet is on its way to you from Germany with a signed copy of the paperback version of my book for your Son!!) I look forward to contributing you your new site too!! Best Always, Gary

Thanks Connie for your read!! It's great to be back. I've slowed my work tempo down since the last two months which were quite intense to get my book out. I advertised my book at "PS Classified Ads." It's entitled, "Conversations with My Muse," under my name and is available worldwide and is on Amazon.com and other major vendors sites. (I've got another planned about 18 months from now or so.) Best Always, Gary
