~ 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.

The format of this piece is dynamic. The two voices speaking to each other remind me of how love has been in my life. This poem had me thinking, yes, does true love die. Can you be in love (and that is, true love) and later the love fades. I would love to know the answers and this poem intrigued my mind. A universal poem with so much meaning!

[Daly]

Love the alignment of this poem. Beautifully written.

[Albert Freeman]

I agree with everyone else. It's unique and the narration is done perfectly. The progression of love and the choices we make is something we all must deal with and work through or see it fall apart.

[Story Keeper]

I've never seen a poem written like this. I really enjoyed it. You are very talented. This could be the story of everyone's life. Nothing stays fresh and new forever. Your poem reaches out to a wide audience.

[velvetvoice09]

Wow, this was very different. I like the different style you used. It's very realistic in alot of ways. Great poem!

[M_S_Lay]

I really loved this poem

[Julie Dant]

Unique, as Tania says, is definately the word for this beaufifully written poem! One can internalize it easily. Such insight you have and I just wish I could be a articulate and creative as this. Wonderful.

[AllForTheTeam]

deep. all i can say really is that most poems that try to describe the struggles, or pleasures, of love and life, usually use a lot of false, and far off imaging, but this, well, it hits the spot dead on. it tells the truth, love today is physical in almost every aspect, and few people realise that the mind is what matters. i give props to this, and i look forward to reading more like it in the future!

My friend recommended that I read this. Wonderfully written and perfectly perceived subject. Well done!

[T.A.Rogers]

All that I can say is "Wow." This is honestly one of the best poems that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It speaks both truly and openly. I love the format (it is quite the breath of fresh air). You asked if this is true to reality. Yes, my friend, I believe that you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Very rarely do I come across a poem that speaks to me in the way that this one does. Exquisite work.
