~ True Love ~

 

 

 Tr.u.e. L.o.v.e.

 ‘Bridges’ yet crossed - or even burned

 

That afternoon in autumn,

 

 the Sun began releasing ‘Her Tears of Hope’,

 

 Standing there embracing,

 

looking up, as a light mist caressed our faces…

 

True Love, Indeed… the strongest, matched by no other

Lost in attraction, steady ones breath, are you listening?

Interpersonal love, shaped of elements of fallacy -

Spawns the birth, now borne of Love or Infatuation?

 

Jane Doe: “When we talk, you're always attentive to everything”

John Doe: “I Love how you cook, clean and treat me like a King”

 

Love begins of innocence, nothing short of harmless

Craving sense of mystery, passing boundaries, no expectations

Desire to please; you do not want to possess…

Engulfed in Flames of shadowed passions, your heart at rest!

 

Jane Doe: “You used to dive in, exploring my shores”

John Doe: “You appreciated, respected my Love. Now…you Expect so-much-more.”

 

Choices made, perceptions viewed, push to shove…

Could you spend your life, 24 hours a day with the one you Love?

Can Love last forever…? What do we 'choose' to sacrifice…? Exactly…  

Explore the nature, understanding the function of Love.

 

Jane Doe: “Ashamed I am, concealing pain with silent cries �" you never cared”

John Doe: “You thrive on mind games of torment and despair”

 

Pain vibrates, shattered dreams, crossing lines of gray

Tomorrow, soon will deliver an 'envelope of dismay'

Rhythm of dance, life once treasured, now lost forever…

To each left scars, unseen, chiseled within their soul...

 

Jane Doe: “I guess you never really loved me at all!”

John Doe: “Go ahead and take another picture off the wall!”

 

 

 

On first glance, Love (First Love, for the second time, third or so-on)

We believe this is {True Love}…

 

Is this possible?

Do we have an idea of their favorite color, number, T.V. show and/or what makes them (tick)?

No~… We seem to judge the visible aspects such as appearance, smell, things outwardly that pulls us in.

 

Can Love really be defined?  Does True Love ever fail us?

 Are 'We' willing to work through differences together? (Not by looking in front of 'Us')

 We seem to exclude ourselves �" that’s right… This is a one-way-street, right…?

Love...in all facets -

A development of ‘who we are'...Want to ‘be’...What we can ‘do/be’ for others…

SILENT PROMISE 'ONCE MADE', LEFT DROWNING IN A SOUR GLASS OF WINE... 

Does True Love 'Ever Die'...?

A unique format made this fun to read.....the stanzas in red, to me, are like a narrator speaking his piece, and then his voice fades away in time for the vignettes of dialogue.

I can easily see this acted out on a stage with spot lighting alternating between Jane & John Doe and the narrator, who is off to the side.

A wonderfully insightful write about the cycles of love and human relationships.

This is very nice

I love the doe v. doe part. As for true love, I'm pretty sure it exists. The problem is it almost always dies. Of course, this doesn't mean the relationships always die, they simply change, slowly but surly. Some last lifetimes. Sometimes its good that they endure, sometimes bad.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

You penned the truth here so well. Is it love or is it lust? So many times we don't build foundations and we see what we want to see instead of what is there. Often we don't even bother to turn over the stone we just jump right in and sit on it and call it ours and then one day we look under the stone and cry out in dismay at the horrors we find. We expect so much but what do we give in return. Love is not perfect and it has to be worked on constantly and so much has to be overlooked. I will end here, but this poem is amazing!

the layout was interesting.
it layered the project quite well.
the theme was predictable once it got underway. started hopeful then quickly slipped into despair, rah de rah.
love comes in many guises.
i think the poem demonstrated quite well, the patent lack of understanding as to what real love is

[shaun]

Very good Legacy.

[Lourisa]

It reminds me of ''the Nightengale''by OSCAR WILDE who bled to death to produce a red rose for the student's beloved.A prudent effort.Unique format.A blend of reality of love and the idealism attached.Poets around the world must be envious they talk much about cup and cupbearers.Nice hit to happily ever after.....

I really like this. it makes me feel indescribable emotions , being so i'm trying to find the answers to "love" myself. nice work.

[Arwen Evenstar]

After reading this, I'm left speechless. It's simple yet, very emotional. Very well done, I really liked it.
