~ 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 believe that true love never dies and that it can not fail us. Anyways, I loved your poem. It's format is creative and beautiful, yet it doesn't take away the meaning of the poem. I loved the questions that you asked because they were so powerful. Often times, many people don't take the time to think about it. This was lovely. Excellent job.

Alexander Smith said; "We are never happy: we can only remember that we were so once." At this moment, I believe the same holds true for love. But I loved this piece! Truly, everything about it.

[Girlintheworld]

I love this poem. Truly the dialogue is brilliant and breaks up the rythym in a very good way! Inspiring!

[Mike Poe Potter Cot]

Loved it. And very intresting format just added to how real and original this poem was. Great work.

[Radical Dreamer]

Really well done and the way you alternated between the people and your thoughts made this a pleasure to read. No one really knows what love is but I this piece captured perfectly the confusion we all experience in dealing with love.

[Scarlet Carson]

Wow, very deep. I like it very much. In case you wanted an answer, which I'm not sure you do, my response would be: no, true love can never die. Well, not in my opinion. Very good poem, though.

i dont think true love ever dies your poems is identical to me and my ex boyfriend, this is our story also, only i take the pictures down cause he turn them over and that hurt me so i take my picture down from his apartment wall. true writing.

[Evanesced]

Wow... that is so, so beautiful. I love the unique format you used(I'm such a sucker for originality, haha). Excellent job -- I love it!

[Joseph - Michael]

I really enjoyed reading this piece very much so. It's like reading a screenplay along with the voice over giving out the strong hints of prose poetry between the lines...

So, it's all still great tho... especially the sizes and the colors of the fonts... very well matched...

Just two more things;

"True Love never dies, just the soul that would die from the heartbroken..."

"Real Love may be forever, but True Love always wait... Always..."
