What True Love Feels Like - A POEM

in #poetry7 years ago

lo.jpg


Up late watching
her favorite movie
her head on your lap
you stroking her hair
you don't like this movie
you want only to be close to her
that is what true love feels like


together on the porch
together in the night
talking about nothing
talking about everything
time doesn't matter now
though it will tomorrow
that is what true love feels like


you feel her anger
you should have called
uncertain why you didn't
uneasy with your guilt
upset with your own insensitivity
you are relieved that she still cares
that is what true love feels like


together in bed
one arm across her hip
one touching her hair
uncomfortable for you
her comfort matters more
as we drift off together
that is what true love feels like.

Pleasure to operate with you, commander.

Perfectly put @sircork! I felt bad not getting to help but I don't think I could have added a damn thing. This is sublime @japhofin8or!

Teamwork! Teamwork! Teamwork! It was a good time. It certainly made a better flow. Much appreciated for the input.

Now that is a steem quote!! I may just use that from time to time. With your permission of course. And acknowledgement to you, of course again.

It was a staple of my weekly radio show and my former work as a leader in the largest community on the platform, which I have now disassociated with. I don't mind being quoted, but I'm selfish a bit about the phrase lest former family, turned something less savory, claim it as their own. Feel free to share the love, all the same...

I'll create it as a .gif with your name forever credited. It's good stuff and shouldn't languish. Very powerful message.

I like your style ;)

Hola Señor @japhofin8or
Por ahí le dejé mi voto porque me gustó su poesía
Cuando adolescente yo escribía muchos poemas
hasta que me enamoré y lo dejé de hacer... ja ja ja!
