~ 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.

GREAT STUFF....LOVE IT X

mmh, it was a very personal poem. I did enjoy how you carefully choose your word for others to understand your intentions, and my friend you've made it very clear indeed. how sad though it seems, no need. s**t happens all the time, and sometimes s**t gives you a reason to realize and move on to better heights.

Very good write! I like the uniqueness of the colors and format that you chose. I believe that true love does exist...I am living it! Your Poems are Beautiful!!

[Silver DeHalo]

wow!
that was an amazing poem. but I have to tell you, yes true love is real and it does exist. and no it doesn't die. I know this from experience. some people can't stand the pressure when things go bad and they give up too easily. they stop listening and fold into themselves when they are hurt. this is natural. but its when you look beyond those walls that things can be made clear and you can once again understand each other. loved it :)

Wow very good I am so impressed!

Very creative layout of your poem. I loved the dialogue. Very deep thought went into this poem. Some spaces here and there are extra.“You used to dive in, exploring my shores” has extra space,but was that for dramatic purposes and intentional?

[Brigitte Adela]

I really like the format, its unusual and enjoyable to read. I like the progression of the relationship. The dialogue put together with, the thought processes and questions, gives a lovely flow.

Love at first sight is blind, yes, the writing was great the format made everything pop and have more meaning to how you want things to be read, instead of regularity. Oustanding poem! :3
