True Love Have I Known [Original Poetry]
Language lost in the eternal search for meaning
Trapped within the confined space of all that is before me
Slowly unwinding, never forgetting
Trying to piece it all back together once again
Language like lovers lost in an embrace
Unstructured meaning filtering joy to the unfettered soul
In between breathing and remembering to be
Is the joy of begetting this one precious pearl
Traipsing through memoirs, constructing a hope
Breath life into meaning so I can give life unto us
Not dying, not leaving, just slowly believing
Believing in words that I may gift you this song
Once is forgotten but forever will be
That a life lived with beauty will keep the company of me
And words are but whispers, to my ears, to my soul
In my death, in my dying, true love have I known

Wow. Powerful. This poem gave me goosebumps. Your imagery and word choice is PHENOMENAL. The rhythm and format flowed beautifully.
This is my favorite line. I cannot explain the image that comes in my head very well, but its like a chaotic spiderweb being drawn into the center of a person's head as they move forward through life unconditionally.
Thank you for sharing.
And thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I'm glad you shared what you liked from the poem. I often get imagery just bursting out wanting to be put into words, and that isn't always easy. How to convey imagery and symbolism with words and not sound cliche? I love the image you perceive from these words. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with me.
