~ 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.

[Jeremy Baker]

This would make for an amazing performance piece! It's fantastic, the variations in structure, tonality and theme are engaging and compelling. Fantastic writing!

[Victoria Scott]

I really loved this!!! it was so sweet and very unique! So well done :)

[Daniel88Batson]

I love the integration of speech. It brings a character to the entire piece because of it. Really awesome!

[Becky C Strukamp]

Love the style of this poem and its flow!

[Hotwater]

Very good, I enjoyed this write, I saw the title and what I got was so different than what I expected... top draw. Just read the comment by Tania, she hit the nail on the head.
10/10.

your writing does not need the punctuation of coloured letters or different fonts, it is as always extremely powerful and is as clear as a bell, for me that is.
Well penned Poet,
Kudos!

I love it - especially the last bit about the sour glass of wine. An unusual format but this does not detract from the power of the piece. This to me is a question that can never truly be answered until we find the answer to whether true love really exists. And that to me is a mystery that will never truly be un-ravelled.

It's really an awesome piece...full of depth ... love the way you have written and the emotion you have filled in each line....

Love the way you set out this piece and the way the two characters interacted but have to feel sorry for them never knowing more than outward needs, sometimes we all just need to talk or to receive a cuddle, love is deeper than sex and possesions. You question so much and leave one wondering indeed ~ Doe's true love ever die? ~ keep em' coming

[Eric Cox]

Your words bring your views (and questions.) about true love alive and is an interesting and enjoyable read. A very good piece. Nicely done.
