~ 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.

Legacy, are you serious? You really wrote that? I'm at a complete loss for words. You literally took my breath away! Why didn't you ever tell me about this site, you butt monkey?!

[cecil]

a very beautiful detailed write full of the deep questions we all ask at some point in a relationship, love is always needed and sometimes it is answered forever and at others it is only skin deep, a physical attraction, i enjoyed reading this, it is a very interesting write,,more than just poetry, a vision of life and love,,blessings..Cecil

No, true love never dies. "Him", I will forever love. That love is tangled between us now though I am working on untangling it and taking it back to set him free. The love I have for him is mine, (I have owned it for 35 years, through 2 marriages) it is my love. The love he has for me is his love - - the dance between us not meant to be, and he also is setting me free. Still, this love never dies.........and I will hang the picture in my new home.

We all seem to spend years of our lives running around this circle. True love seems more like a mirage than any tangible relationship. I love the style of this poem. It was unique, with a very familiar feeling, if that makes any sense. Anyway I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing this!

[Gráinne Hayden]

wow...this is really really good! i love how it switches from narrative to people speaking, as if to prove the point the narrator is making. this is very well done and beautifully written, kudos to you!! :D

[Dori Maschke]

Wow, I like this a lot,what I got from it is that we need to really see in side of the one that we love.
Know them as well as we know ourselves,for we don't then we might loose the one person that we really care about.

I adore the unusual layout of this peice. I think, if you'd have presented it differently I'd have been bored, but the shifts in font colour, style, and size definitely drew me in.

I like the way you have speakers throughout, too, in between the stanzas.
That was quite a unique idea.

A very interesting and remarkable peice.
Love it.
:D
