The Rapture of Love

How does one describe the rapture of love No words can really explain it We know when it happens, there's surely no doubt It's very difficult to contain it Hard to describe this overwhelming emotion Known the whole world over Different cultures, religions, a bond that unites us Make us lose our composure It's surely not exclusive to the rich and famous Nor exclusive to the man on the street It's an emotion that's available to each individual An exquisite feeling so sweet It's there for everyone to experience and enjoy The real true meaning of life Can you imagine a world devoid of this emotion The very opposite of paradise © Jack Ellison 2014

Had trouble with PoetrySoup today. It kept freezing up... My other sites didn't... As always, Dragon and I enjoy your work... But Dragon thinks your talking about a raptor Dinosaur... He ran off to do a bunch more studying...Winning... Now if only we didn't have such high public library fees... Dragon accidently fires books at times so we've switched to computers... except for our own books... of course.

If Dragon lived in Toronto, he'd know I didn't mean RAPTORS! Our NBA team is the Toronto Raptors and their team logo is a RAPTOR! LOL XOXOX

There are no stronger drugs than the intoxication you get from love. Once you taste it you are addicted...Tim

So very true, it would be the opposite of paradise! I wouldn't want to live in a world that is without love, that would be awful! I really enjoyed reading this phenomenal poem this morning! What an illustrious piece, Great Work!!
