TRUE LOVE — A POETIC PIECE!

Pictures of you well framed on the wall
Sounds of your voice well taped
Your whispers, your touches on my memory, your laughter echoing in my mind
Your wrath teasing me uncontrollably
How do I describe this in words?
How do I describe this in action?
Can my voice ever do well enough?
Can this spoken word ever tell how good this feeling is?
There is nothing like the real thing!

Pride fallen to dust in actions
I couldn't meet up my standard anymore
There is someone we all break rules for
There is someone we walk across the river for
There is someone we dip our fingers into fire for
There is someone we make impossibles possible for
There is someone that makes us know true love exists!

The shock that tickles at the sight of you
The smiles that defeat my anger baked face at the view of you
The jealousy that overwhelms me at the absence of you
The wrath that claims me at the lose of you
My Soul seeks for a goal to make me low when my temperature becomes high all because of you!

I'm a girl of policies
And when I'm asked my choice of person, I say one above my standard.
Today, I do not even hide in shame of my choice.
Because I decided to go with what caresses my soul, my mind and my body.
What reveals my inside and makes me happy
What makes me feel a feeling that feeling it cannot explain how it feels!

My strategies all abolished or refined for your sake
My voice trembles at the fear of losing you
Goose bumps all over me when you appear in my thoughts and before my eyes
Heat in Snow
Cold in Mercury
The voices we hear in silence
The voices of silence we use to communicate
Eyes that understand more than the brain
Nose that perceives and anchors the entrance of your presence!

If tradition crosses our path
We could make a new nation
If religion separates our view
We could create a new constitution
If I ever get to lose you!
I might never love again!


This is a poem written for a spoken word contest with the theme TRUE LOVE.

I feel like flagging you but I don't have SP... 👋

Because I decided to go with what caresses my soul, my mind and my body.

This line touched me. True love is more than a feeling or showering of gifts. Thank you for this piece
