~ 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.

This poem spoke to me. I have found this poem had a lot of concrete, down to earth, truths in it. True love is hard to define and you describe that well. And you define it well by alternating between Jane Doe's row and the intertwining stanza's describing true love. I really liked it and have read it a good few times. No doubt I'll read it again!

[Jason Owens]

Unique. Very well done! :)

You hit this one the nail, if you believe in multiple soul mates. I hold true to one love. The rest are just tricks. As bad as that may sound, I still treat them well. Can't have any sort of feeling from it if I at least don't play the part.

[BlackRose]

Reminds me of some of the relationships I've ever been in. Like how creative you are in how it reads and the way you were with colors and the fonts. Nice work.

[Leigh]

Powerful stuff indeed, can true love be defined? it's a state of mind an elusive quantity just around the corner, if it could captured if would loose its qualities, a bit like coral on the barrier reef.

There's no words that i can say!
I'm speechless such beautiful language, format and thoughts make this piece unique
Truly a masterpiece

[Sam Freeland]

Hope to cook
with love on the side
Please don't look
I have something to hide

Empathy you have said
should be there too
Hope will not be dead
we can see it through

Others will follow
and turn up the heat
Many will wallow
with mud on their feet

Compassion from the heroes
who nurture our love
And guard us in the throes
of loving heaven above
