~ 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.

Your poem was deep hot, angry and loving. GOOD JOB

chooooooooooooooo, mate that is amazing. and really very touching. I guess true love does exist. what you wrote just reflects what unfortunately happens many times for many couples. and its saddening but am sure true love does exists.
your words were very touching and powerful.great one dude.

[Rachal]

The different colours remind me of the way I would write song lyrics. A beautiful and pinful look at the honesty of love

[silentpoet]

wow! I must say read about 3x's. I wonder where that came from? It hits me hjard for so many reasons. One because I am heart broken right now and am left questioning everything and the very existence of love itself. For once alot made sense to me that did not before and alot I still ask as in this poem. That was beautiful and insightful. It was a pleasure to read.

It is a wonderful work of writing, u show the problems most couples deal with. though im not in a relationship myself, i know that it takes a lot of sacrifice for a love to workout.

and i have to say a thing about love......true love can vary, it depends on how much effort and heart BOTH of the couples put into, if only one does it, they'll drift apart in the end. it doesn't have to be perfect, nothing in this world is ****ing perfect. it just has to be something that completes u and makes you whole

Out of most that I have read, this format is most intriguing and creative. Along with the meaningfulness it's a very nice way to express how the human mind thinks and what not.

[Kenneth The Poet]

I must agree with other reviewers, this a stunning piece of work. The format is a bit off-putting at first, but it's fun to experiement none the less.

Excellent job!

[BaronofBallads]

All I can say with this one is Oh My God........Just Amazing.

[LexieRhea]

I agree that the format of it was really cool. It kind of felt like a screenplay. I also really like the way you varied the colors of the text. It made the words seem more real. The only thing I can really suggest is to maybe use more descriptive language that comes from you personally. While your words were emotional, they sort of seemed like something you pulled from different things you'd already read. You're very creative and talented.
