-- True Love --

by John Herlihy

 

Do feelings never fade,

Not ever to fade away?

Feelings to cast into doubt,

Whatever to doubt about.

A love that always remains.

Remains in spite of itself,

A love that knows its name.

A love that I can shout about,

Proclaim my love to the world.

As mountain echoes to return,

A star aglow within the breast.

A white dove nestled in a nest,

Such emotion not a thing to crave,

True love rides the crest of the wave.

Interesting closure with the wave reference. I couldn't help but picture the reality of waves. They gather, the peak, they erupt in a spray and... again make themselves. So too does the lasting emotion of being love, regardless of whether one is human or observing a wilting rose become mulch for the next round, the next wave.

True love…always remembered,
and feelings associated that are absolutely
unique for that particular love..it can be triggered
so easily, an aroma, music etc..often bitter sweet..
You have captured the essence well John…
