~ 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.

A very unusual, and interesting format. I liked it. I like the concept you are making. It is always unfair to put a new love beside a long time love. They are separate animals. No-one can maintain the intensity of those first days and months. True love is slower, and more deeply rooted. I guess it's a trade off. You have to be careful you don't get too comfortable. You can maintain parts of the fire of the begining, but it's nice to not have to be razor sharp everyday. I believe in true love. Nice write. Rain..

I really liked this.

Lovely format, thought the poem was exceptionally written, beautiful, the only pointer I'd make was that it was a bit lengthy. But on the whole? Superb. Thank you for the read.

No question has ever been closer to my heart.

Why do we tell someone "I love you, everything you are" then in the next breath say "Break yourself apart and rebuild into something 'better'?"

Would "True" love do that?

Then again we all want to see those we love most soar to the best of their ability. It's good to encourage that, but gently. Tough love is just meanness with a bow on it. Isn't it?

I think true love speaks gently. True love has the quiet patience to wait and pick us up when we stumble.

True love is not an ultimatum.

And when it is real it will wait forever, even on the other side of a burned bridge.

t's verry close to reality, verry close to the demise of my marrige.. Save for the fact i di not use a glass of wine to drown in lol..eh i sorat went into a full mentle break down..ouch..but none the less it is a well described way of how relationships fail....note.. you can reverse the gender roles in this as well.

What an extraordinary shape this work has .. clever, intriguing, mesmerising... I was drawn into it as I read and felt the words, then, saw the pattern of love through time

A unique form of poetry writing that makes me want to come back to see, read and feel it again.

My first thought was; how sad. True love is so rare, but so special. And finding someone to look further than skin deep, rare.

I liked how your passion for this delicate subject jumped out from each word. It really reached out to me, as I've been thinking about this same subject. *Two thumbs up*
