~ 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 thinks it great. I enjoyed the creative way of the stanzas and format.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

It was wonderfully written piece, although I felt in all honesty that the Jane and John Doe thing was a little bit of an annoyance..? That may not be the word I'm looking for, but all in all it was a beautifully written insightful piece.

Great write.

[bluessadmood]

well dear ,i read this though i am not for romantic reading much ,the subject itself i great ,is there ever true love ,i think there is ,but thats not the point, i read your write about 7 times ,i can say this its a little affected ,complex,,i always thought dear ,and try to be as honest as i can as you asked me ,poetry, literature ,is always so easy ,you dont read it ,you feel it ,it goes right into your heart and brains,i am sure you took hard work to write this ,still to experienced writer or reviewer ,i think ,i stress on this ,this falls short of this end ,i just want to be frank with a very dear friend ,as far as i can tell out of my sole judgement ,and maybe i am wrong ,poetry and any literature should be very smoothly going ,and i stop here ,i took too much pain to review it time and time again to give you my true mind about it ,i wish you all the best dear friend

Very, Very Nice, Reminds me of a play. A Raisin In The Sun. You tell a beautiful story with your words.

[Jennifer Pennington]

This is an excellent poem, very nicely done. It definately does come close to real life expectations and reality. How in the beginning of a relationship your filled with that euphoria and then as time goes on thats when your really tested. Very good.

A wonderful, thought provoking piece...does True Love Die? I don't think so...the flame may fade, but it never flickers out.
A well conceived piece, that hits the reader where it was supposed to.
This is a beautiful, poignant write, that's well laid out and constructed.
Bravo

Love is a very mysterious and strange thing. No one knows exactly why love dissapears. How do you actually know if you really love them when in the next instant they say they never loved you at all. I like how you put Jane doe and John doe as the unknown and didn't put actual names, it makes the poem more real. I think that love does not actually fade if it's true Love but what is true and what is not. Reality is reality as unsure as it is we still live through it.

Great write here legacy you did a very good job with this write.

[Matchbox Of Music]

Indeed, the format was interesting. I loved most the Jane and John Doe interactions

[Nephil]

Realistic, biting, dismal and human.

Great format. You did well with a subject matter I usually deem typical and overlook. Congrats on being able to find something new and fresh in it.
