True Love

 

True Love


 

They tell me that true love is funny,
that it happens at the strangest of times.
And that when kissing your true love,
you are suppose to hear chimes.
 
But that is an old wives tale,
for it doesn't always happen that way.
You see love is something that grows,
not just something you say
.
It seems that when love is found,
its either too late or the love goes.
The lovers are too shy to say it,
but for why,nobody knows.
 
So whenever I say,"I love you!"
It doesn't mean I know you won't leave.
Yet whenever I say,"I love you!"
You should be able to believe.
 
I can't say that love is for us,
that still is something to see.
But I can say that it would be nice.
If its a true love to be!

    Congratulations on the gold. You have a nice piece here. I can sense the desire mixed with apprehension or caution. I think you have hit on a mix of emotions that is common to us all at some point in our relationships. Well done!

    Aaawww, so sweet. I love this one. You are so creative. It's so true love has to grow. It takes time, communication and understanding. I could read your poems all day. I know you get tired of hearing me blubber over you, so I'll stop now. LOL. ttyl Tali Sis

    Shaker,
    This is beautiful.
    You're wife is a lucky lady to have someone so wonderful in her life, she must be very special indeed.
    This is such a uniquely written love poem, it's so more grounded and truthful, and real than other poems of love are.
    You are a wonderful writer, and this is an excellent write.

    Beautifully done......Like the verse "But that is an old wives tale,
    for it doesn't always happen that way.
    You see love is something that grows,
    not just something you say" Reminds me of one of my favorite songs: "more than Words"....Good luck in the contest!...Lynda

    Love it!

    Wow what a beautiful poem! I agree with you 100%! Love takes time, I don't believe in love at first sight. But I do believe you can fall hard for someone fast - and continue to fall deeper in love with that person as time goes on. This made me feel all warm and gooey inside. =)

    i know what you mean, by love just isnt something you say.. i know how people just throw around the word love, like they use the word .... i cant think of one.. but they never understand the real meaning
    good luck in the contest!

    You have given a good description of what true love is-when it happens on both sides of the coin-you do have a near perfect match. Nicely done!! vj

    Relationships are about sacrifice, you can truly love someone that is not in a relationship with you! When you TRULY love someone doing something with them or for them is not a sacrifice, it's a pleasure! Thank you for your comment, The Shaker

    When the Muse is as strong as the feelings transfered the words put themselves on the paper. True love is so strong that nothing can take it away. The Shaker

    I love this poem. It is hopeful and true. True love isnt just words or all of a sudden feelings. It's slow and progressive. I love this poem.
