~ 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.

i like the way you manifest in poem the typical or common blunders of a relationship that most people presumed a true love. I believe true love can endure and outlive the pressures and stresses brought about by a physical relationship. the scenario in this poem does not reveal or display any virtue of a true love but infatuation.

Omg this poem is so beautiful

[pinksnowboots]

The format is unique and interesting-a mix of a poem and someone talking to us. It made it interesting to read.

[StrawberryDream]

Well crafted and unique!

[Ladysue]

This was incredible! An amazing insight you have. Brilliantly defined and beautifully composed!!! Seriously look how many people can relate to this. We have all be here...the ups and downs, the joy and the torment. I absolutely loved this and I love how you started it and ended it. Excellent!!!

[Ms. Lavender Love]

A beautiful read. You take us through each turn and up each hill of love's emotional rollercoaster. We've all been there.

[Foxtrot206]

Again, brilliant job, Legacy. The way you write is completely your own, and yet many other people can relate. Just wonderful

[Jordan Punga]

This begs the question, was it true love?

[tinalouise]

Such a cleverly crafted piece that made me race through it to find each revelation that mirrored my own recollection. Beautiful words, beautifully put together in a unique style. I found I was happiest when I read again to call the end at his final words about pictures from walls - just worked best for me that way.

As this is only the second item I have read here - I have high expectations now :)

Namaste,
Tina

Wow that beautiful, and true. people are seeing love just by appearance of the out side and as a feeling when it so much more then that.
