Pedestal

Teddy.15

 

If true love has such spiritual dimension

then I trust that someday it will find me

 

and as I wait

I ask myself

 all the questions sitting

impatiently on my mind

 

reflecting on…

 

courtly love

forbidden love

self-love

storge love

and of course

 

 divine love

 

those so deeply in love?

 

for example...

 Romeo and Juliet

 

knowing such intimacy exists

 

yet never to bring them

to their union as soulmates

a love

forbidden by others

 

knowing

it was to lead them

to a death of a sinister kind

 

they did it anyway

because they were in fact soulmates

 

thus, finding love

living happily ever after

isn’t just a myth

to those whom have experienced

 such love?

 

 

I myself do believe

 

after all

surely

even just to experience

 that spiritual dimension

 for one single moment whilst I breathe

 

makes the loss so much less painful

eternally giving it

 it's very own pedestal.

          OK, confession time. I remember you told me before, but I couldn't remember it here, so I had to resort to google to figure it out. But a fantastic poem Teddy. It puts words to my own thoughts on true love. 🌹

              On the subject of love , dear Teddy you have it buttoned up. So many beautiful poems you have penned, and another here. You have included Romeo and Juliet, that tragic pair in this offering. Such an elegant piece of writing. You ask yourself all the questions and many others ask the very same. Have a fabulous weekend dear poet.

              • Teddy.15

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Love as a word in English is such a complex word. It can mean so many things from passion to adoration. It is ambiguous and covers so many emotions. Very nicely written in first person making it so much more personal. Lovely no pun intended.

                        • Teddy.15

                          Thank you so much dear sorrenbarret, always wonder what you think of it all. 🌹

                        • Bella Shepard

                          You have the gift of words dear Teddy; finding them, arranging them in the most pleasing way, bestowing them with emotion, so that they leap from the screen in this beautiful ode to love, placed oh so gently on that pedestal.

                          • Teddy.15

                            Dear Bella, thank you so much dear friend. A subject very close to my heart. 🌹 ❤️
