Feelings about true love

True Love

 
Who can say what is True love?
How many definitions and models about love?
Can True love be possessive?
Is True love an escape?

 
To reach True love is a long way
A path to yourself and your heart
Heart which has been hurt
Heart which has been bled
 


Love, a strong power
A process of healing
A process of purifying heart
A process of opening mind
 


Search for the Truth
Go through old pains
Break old ways of thinking
Find your heart again
 

When love becomes part of you
When your heart becomes free
You can feel True love
You can give True love

 
True love is birth like
She wants to fly high
Do you have wings to fly high?
And beauty to shine?
 

True love is flower like
She needs caress to grow up
Love is gift for those
Who make the Truth  "A way of life"


Put your mind in peace
Dont allow it to be a cage for the birth
Allow your mind to blossom, dont let it
Cloud the sun and dry the flower

 
True love needs air to breath
Wind to fly
Sun to shine
Rain to grow

I think the shining glory about this piece is that you never actually state what love is, which not only inspires feelings of love in others, but offers further proof that mankind just "doesn't get it". Proof of that can be found in the comments other readers have left for you regarding this piece. "Love is this," "Love is that," religious definitions, racial definitions, cultural definitions, sociological definitions, personal definitions, etc. The list goes on to reveal something extraordinary: that love cannot be defined, for something that holds a multiplicity of definitions that are radically different cannot be "one" thing. It also gives a bit of a philosophical turn on an old romantic thought, which breathes new life into the cliche love poem.

Be weary of cliches and running head long into them. In our best attempts to write down what we feel passionatly about, we tend to dive right into pools that have already been filled by others. This piece has a few cliche's in it, but not enough to bog down the overture meaning of the piece.

A final, more critical thought:
"Do u have wings to fly high?"
Lose the internet shorthand. It's distracting and causes a sentence/phrase that could be incredibly powerful to degrade itself.

All in all, a magnificent piece that touches on something so universal, no one can wrap their heads around it fully. Well done.

Thanks to Pal for the send, nice write.
Though I believe in something called true love (which I have to wonder if it exists in this less than Ideal world).. What do I think it is?.... when you are loved and love in return, in the wintry moments when you are vulnerable and easy to break and there is no air to breath, your feet are two feet beneath the ground, its raining so hard it stings and washes away half your essence and all that made you you.. When your only thought is to shelter them and tenderly free their feet and place your lips to theirs and be their breath until they find the strength them self once again to breath and breath deep, and find their way back to spring. It's idealistic and at times brutal, and perhaps is so rare and extreme, mythical now days.

True love means understanding. One trusts another more than him/herself and feels ready to satisfy every little need of a partner. It's said that two persons truly in love aren't looking at each other, but in one direction - a future together, through thick and thin, ups and downs and trails and tribulations.

Your excellent piece reminded me of this quote;

"True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen." -- Erica Jong ( novelist, essayist and poet)

Thanks for the share!

The last stanze is the best I've about True Love. This capavating and carries the reader with an easy read. I tended to speed up the pace but found the read wanted a special speed of its own. I feel that the same is true of you the writer. Example:"Dont allow mind to be cage for the birth". This is hastly written and could do so much more if you added a "your" and an "a". It would then read, "Don't allow "your" mind to be "a" cage for the birth". It is much smoother. I am the worst person to give this advise because when I get excited about a write I tend to force the write and skip words that I thought I used. This a wonderful that diserves the best rate and I believe should be entered in a contest somewhere. Thanks for a great read.

"Who make the Truth "A way of life"". I am so glad you made clear this forgotten aspect of true love. For how can it be true with out a heart that is true and walks in truth. Well done my friend.
