Love's Truth

True love endures.

Love's Truth

Our love

is forbidden!

No ordination

upon the altar

of creation.

We are restrained,

shackled,

by circumstance.

The blood

of our regret

runs in tearful

rivers,

yet we would

swim

in that ocean.

Endure the tides,

the swell

of destructive waves,

just to be together.

The ideal love which is often derailed by the p*ss, sh*t and vomit (a friend's phrase not mines) of Life.
Though the world is filled with tales of such conquerers who having fought the good fight get their just rewards - we can live in hope Sir.

true love is meant to be,forbidden or not

[John Alexander McFadyen]

One would hope so but does not always work that way unfortunately. Thanks Ron.

Forbidden love. A deadly temptation. I liked this poem. I could feel the need and the danger. Thank you John for sharing the amazing poetry.

what a great pic by the way! wow! epic poem in so few words and lines ..reminds me of Helen of Troy .. no doubt about it ... such love .. such tragedy ... and i think as well of all the committed relationships that are destroyed in the "affairs" of the world ... the seven year itch i suppose .. and when culminated .. it lasts for so little time ... not always .. but a lot! :( and there is no going back to the wife and kids eh! or husband and kids as the case may be ... your poem has given me much to think about my friend ... and i feel the pain of this too late, true love that is not allowed :(((

Being in love is not enough most of the times..
the courage to take steps and to ensure your loved ones feel safe ..

Some time we give our all to the other person and then regret having done that... just because we blame it on the situations...don't you think ?

If we really feel its true and we will ensure we will cross all the Ocean and roads to be with our loved ones...

but most of the times it never happens... we just end up crying and being more bitter with each day..
(that's more like the reality - just my thought process after reading your poem )

Tis true if we are 'free' to love. Ah but life is a complicated puzzle and we are not always in the right place at the right time. And we sometimes don't see true love until it hits us, all too late. Many thank Galadriel.

mmmm makes me wonder.... if we all are prisoners of our own golden cages..ensuring to each that we are stuck and we never get out of it alive.....i understand life is never easy...but guess some point we all need to try .....
i have been there done that i can say bitterly.. just because it dint work out leaves a very bitter taste in your life.. if ur lucky to have found one worth you should not let it go...that's what i feel... thank you john for sharing this beautiful poetry...
