The Taste Of Love

Love does not often offer a second chance for true love and true love comes only once in a lifetime.

The Taste Of Love

we have journeyed across the wilderness of time

searching with every ounce of passion we were allotted

seeking the taste of the one; the sweet honest and true love

the one love that everyone hopes and prays awaits them

turmoil lusty feints from many wanting only pleasure

we examined each then struggled to the next and the next

wracked with the disappointments of lies and illusions

perhaps trust love and faith do not live on any shore

struggling beyond the unimaginable we plodded on

the dust of time heartbreaks of wanting collecting in every footprint we left on our path to tomorrows

when we were all but spent with the burden of it all

in the dawning of a new day the light of faith shown down upon us; face to face at the crest

of what we thought might have been our last hill

the smell of honeysuckle filled the air
in that moment with sunlight above we knew

the taste of true love was ours and the wait over

now we have each other there are no childish loveless feints and pretension is buried in our pasts

we endured to savor the treasure chest of a pure and true love

now it is ours until we have no breath to share

You described the journey so eloquently as we search for the one that
will make our dreams of love complete. It is so good to read your poems again...you write with heart and a sensitive pen, dear friend.

As you know Jon, I am a hopeless romantic so I can relate very well to what you have expressed through your verses here. I don't post that often but my latest poems posted here at AD are very much along the same theme as the one you have shared here. Great to read you again. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

Good to see you posting again. Very passionate and full of loving phrases.

I beg to differ about "only one love." I have a good friend who lost her husband shortly after he retired. A few years later, she married a man who was the love of her life until he grew very old, and died. The ensuing years have been lonely, so she has found another man her age that she is madly in love with and just married. I can truly say that she has had, "three one loves" in her lifetime.

What a beautiful portrait of love, Jon, the kind of love we all wish for.

Filled with renewed wonder of love, and the pleasures of being alive and able to experience that with the right person. Lovely!
I have been missing you, your poetry, and wondering how you are.
Many blessings this year and always, Christine
