~ 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.

The format is awesome! The poem feels good.

[Tomás Ó C..]

The formatting alone is wizardic, and the poem reads very well. I think its publishworthy.

[Silent Kim aka mizmetap..]

Very unique style. It certainly caught my attention. True poet, always looking for the answer to the second greatest mystery, "love". Your answer based on your poem and my feelings on love. Love is born, grows and develops. If not properly cared for it dies. But there's always hope for a ressurection. Like a ever flowing river just ride the currents.

[Nina Love]

sometimes this breeds true
and sometimes love is real
and everlasting.
tho its rare,
its never fleeting.

My True Friend,

Your words have touched my soul� as always.

'Love' has broken its way into my heart time and time again yet each time I believe I understand its meaning and ramifications� do I think of myself at-the-moment or the other whose being is also hurting after all-is-said-and-done?

I was enlightened on my so-called 'True Love' within the past year from a person whose wisdom and attributes closely resembles that of a man who I am deeply attached to. Thos knowledge has brought me to a clearer understanding of that Love which was in-fact a 'First Love' not a 'True Love'. The difference there being�? If it was true enough we would still be basking in one another's' embrace.

Speaking for not one individual but society as 'a whole' was a brilliant masterpiece in-itself. The dialogue speaks so true in our everyday existence.

Bringing understanding, questioning and light to an emotional human action is what forms this poem and you have accomplished this with complete success.

To answer your question, "Does 'True Love' ever die�?" �
We keep searching for this love throughout our lives� no matter the cost / no matter the sacrifice. So, who can truly say that they don't desire this and it does not exist in their lives� in one form or another?

Once again, thank you for honoring my heart with this write. You have truly been blessed with a special gift� of touching people's hearts and bringing change to their lives through your words and spirit.
