What Is True Love Poem by Jasmine Appelhaus

What Is True Love

Rating: 5.0


what is it that makes true love true
you may think
that asking this is like asking why the sun rises
why the full moon enhances emotions...

but i know what makes love true
its when you can cry to your lover without fear
when you can use the slightest gesture of love
and it still be noticed...

its when your life is in total ruins
and only your lover can heal your gaping wounds
its when a wolf howls with agonizing pain
searching for its lost mate
its when you can be you
and your lover doesnt have a care in the world
about you being you

its when you can be as crazy and silly as you want
and your lover will join you in the marriement
its when time stops just so you can be happy
its when your home is wherever your lover is
where you feel safe and loved

you may think..that i being so young cannot
ney should not be able to understand how things work in love
though this is true for most
tis not true for me
for i understand what it is like to love only to be hurt
and then hurt because of love
and now i have someone willing to die just to see me smile again

i can see that true love isnt just an emotion but
is when you could die happy knowing your loved
and though you may think i am to young to love
you are truly deciving yourself for age is but a number

your mind
your heart
who you are
and how strong you will is
shows your true maturity

because true love has flown since the begining of time
and time itself can be sopped by what it was created with

true love is being loved even when you are hated by all others...

what? well a baby can love his mother...is he too young to love? ? most of people think that the world love means a thing that isn't really easy to define and everyone comes with a definition and says well stop babbling and listen to what love is...is there true love and false love? ...if so show us the mark on the genuine love so that we wont be fooled when we buy love from the markets....maybe there is chinese made love...we want the original japanese because of its good quality! ! sorry that's nonsense... while reading your poem i felt i'm reading prose..you're explaining too much what you want to say and that screws up your message and makes the poem boring....think of how can you convey the message without explaining....I was stunned when I found that you're answering the question at the end of the poem...i suppose that you leave it for the reader to let him think and read the poem once again......anyway, don't be upset and frustrated that's a good try but you can make it better and better....read about poetry on the internet and look for information resources...you know i was a sucker and poetry teachers used to insult my writings and let me down but now i'm learning and i'm doing good, , , , so you can ask my help if you want...i can send you essays written by my teacher if you are interested. thanks for sharing
