~ 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.

[Wolfwind Words]

You have hit the mark. We often look only on the surface of people and not towards the inner essence of them.
Time seems to drift us apart. as the newness gets old, and we let love fail with the fold of a newspaper page.
We get distracted by the funny pages, rather then reading into the meat of the story of another person's soul.
Great Write!

this is sadly and unmistakably true. i thought i had found 'true love' when i married the only man i truly loved. as time pasted, things changed, we changed. through the years, we became complacent and distant.

though i thought that love was always enough to see us through, it ended up not being enough...

it is said that love conquers all, but does it really? does it change and grow with us or does it whither and die when it is not attended to? i supposed that it is up to the ones involved...

i am not bitter or resentful that it didn't work out for me. rather, i am greatly saddened that it did not last the forever that it was supposed have. i have no regrets, i would do it all over again.

as always, this was a good, insightful piece...very thought provoking.

thanks, Amanda

That piece was amazing and true. I know that when I look for being invovled I focus on the outer and not the inner. We don't show all of our emotions when we try to be invovled with someone physically.

first off, check "your" in jane doe's first line..."you're" i think is what you"re looking for. interesting spiraling of this relationship. love lasts, infatuation goes the way of the ,,,pictures on the wall,,, the interspersing of the conversations with commentary works well here. nicely done.

[surayne]

That really made me think.
true love is still a mystery to me.
but this is a very good.
