Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Carol Eastman February 11, 2014 at 4:44 PM 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.

Tim Smith February 11, 2014 at 6:49 AM There are no stronger drugs than the intoxication you get from love. Once you taste it you are addicted...Tim Jack Ellison February 11, 2014 at 7:09 AM I've been addicted since my first love... in first grade LOL
