~ 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.

amazing poem btu really scary...i wouldnt want that to happen to me...well written, good structure...i love it!

[April Child]

I think you have captured it exactly as it is, or can too often be. The initial attraction and infatuation which gradually fades and dies, yes love dies. There is no right 'one' just a right one for however long it lasts. It's always a shock to find that you no longer love or that you are no longer loved. I think there is also a deeper kind of love that can develop and be nurtured past this point though too, it's all about timing and expectations and choice I guess.

I like your format, kind of prosey and poetry mixed, it works for me and I also like the Jane/John additions.
Well done indeed.

I quite liked the Jan and John Doe against the narrator. As if it was a short one act play. You captured the essence of what the heart feels in a relationship that began with a passionate strong dedicated love and then ended with that same strength and dedication turned in the other direction. Relationships cycle as mother earth cycles. It is easy to walk away; to throw things in the trash. It is difficult to renew; to work and rework. Evolution is difficult. Evolution with a partner doubly so. Marriages and families and relationships are microecosystems that either survive evolution or do not. Mother earth has seen many come and go upon her face but she is still here; still going; still trying; and so shall we.

Legacy, you have a very good ability of writing strong emotions coinciding with the idea of love.
Everyone has had a relationship like this at some point, and many will continue too.

Your writing is very well done. I hope you continue to write.

[Alyssia Landin]

This is a wonderful and very unique poem you have here. I would usually help out and give some tips on how to make it better, but I havent got any, I love it the way it is. 8)

Holy cow. This is amazing. I really love the way you wrote it. It is very interesting and keeps you wanting to read more. Even makes you stop and think. Excellent piece of writing.

[JayaMae]

I enjoyed this piece. Wonderfully creative while flowing...

[Teresina]

Wow. This touched on some deep personal feelings...you captured the process we feeble humans go through in the struggle to find "the one" and the what happens when we do. Maybe because, there never really is "one", just me and you. Great poem.

[Dawn Marie Harris]

Legacy! You have left me speechless. Absolutely brilliant, amazing, etc. I love it!

[Polly Lewis]

A thought provoking piece in an excellent format. Our perceptions of love are always interesting, but never more so than when we delve into the under-currents of so called "true love".
I admire anything that makes me stop and think, and this piece achieved both.
Nice job :0)
