~ 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.

breath-takingly personel. connections made from lines on a page. perfect the way it is and should end as such thru a life of imperfections made acceptable. even a sour glass of wine holds its own among the aged. beautiful...

i really enjoy the format of this. it's unique and creative. i think you could pull it together even more but i think its really good.

well done!

[Dyrt]

I appreciate the content, but I think it strained by forced rhyming.

[Angela]

I love the uniqueness of your format and the dialogue with the Doe's. The flow of the "lifespan" of the relationship was awesome. Thank you for sharing this.

[Stephanie Weippert]

Good, but a little disjointed. You've put great ideas in there. If you make it more concise, tighten it up a little. It would be great.

[Lisa J "The Rose&q..]

Refreshing. Great work!!

[KayOss]

I must admit that it was quite an experience, reading this. I have not read anything quite like it, which is honestly a good thing. I think we can all relate to falling out of love with someone or at the very least, to love changing over time. Not only did you capture this in a different way, but you captured it in a very real way. Great work, here. I think you hit it dead on.

[Wanda S. Paryla]

Wow, you are getting very technical with love here!!! I also love the line "final promise once made, left drowning in a sour glass of wine." Fantastic line! I also agree wtih Tania, I can see this enacted on a stage. I love the interactions between the Does, and then the narrative. Sweet!

[DP19384]

wow. this is pretty cool...better than my crap, that's for sure! i think it really hits the naqil on the head when people say they're in "love", do they really understand what that entails. inspiring.

i'm guessing from the amount of responses that you've heard this before, but this was amazing.
i love the format/style; it gives it a unique touch.

keep up the good work.
