~ 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.

wow. whoa and all other words of utter shock. never have i read such and interesting and moving love story. this is by far one of my favorite works that i have read on this site. an amazing piece of artwork written by an amazing writer. truly magical and inspirational

[Dushyant Thadani]

This poem has an interesting format, which makes complete sense in the current scenario. Love is become so dishonest, and we still end up calling every love our true love. Wonderfully written, just love the Jane and John Doe part in the poem. Great write.

[Krystal Nicole]

Very beautifully written. You have a very unique writing style. And I loved how you put some parts in red. Great read!!

[snopadelic]

The prssentation looked really good. It also felt like there distinct voies speaking as well. I like the way you messed about with the usual poetic structure but still retained the buetiffull qualtys and made me think

[marybeth davis]

sometimes love is something you can build. sometimes love is just there and you have to deal with it..

Okay, I am new and not well versed in writing, but this one lept off the page at me, inviting me to question the concept of true love and to view poetry from a much broader perspective. I so enjoyed the read and the blatant truths found there in. I have questioned the topic for many years and wonder if each of us holds a different understanding of the "Definition" of this four letter word. I may think of warm, soft, fuzzie things and someone elses definition is more about pain and control, but at the time we think we are talking about the same thing, "Love."
I enjoyed this piece.

In my mind I could picture two lovers in a play. The visuals, pictures, and music that could be added to this writing are endless. Great write!

[Kevin Horsley]

A very good piece and I especially enjoyed the format and colour scheme.
It helps to bring out the meaning some more.
I do not know if true love is something viable over the long term for true love is ephemeral in that so long as life allows it without complications arising.
For those of us that find that true love which outlasts all else we are truly blessed, I do not think the modern world allows for this though, so infatuated are we with our own appearance and the appearance of who we are with.
