TRUE LOVE

That which gives, selflessly

With no expectations, is said

To be true love, true in a sense

For nothing is expected from us

Is love not in one piece and total

Round in shape and return to itself

Like the snake that swallows its rail

Whose covert end, is in the beginning

Ouroboros biting back through time

Queries our claims to really know

What love desires or wants in return

A purpose differently interpreted

Mr Trex, the worst thing you

Mr Trex, the worst thing you have posted, trite and dependant on external beliefs. "enduring patience"? Fuck that I haven't the time. You can do better than this I know. Sorry I haven't caught up with your undoubtedly better work recently. Will do with respect for what you can do, Jess "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin, wonder what he would think of the Patriot Act.

Thank you for the suggestion...

Jess Thank you for the suggestion, I was not able to post any poem between 3rd and 26th November, 2008 because I was dry, so I forced myself to write and the result is what I posted as 'TRUE LOVE'. In any case I appreciate your comment because it has made me to take a second look at the few other crappy ones in the file with a view to improve them. Your comment has therapeutic value as I am beginning to see the return of the muse. Once again thank you. Best wishes. Trex

ah, my friend,

the errant muse! I understand completely and applaud the raw gritty courage it takes to write in her absence. I learn from you and take courage from yours, thank you Jess "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin, wonder what he would think of the Patriot Act.

Nicely-penned!

Some excellent thoughts here! Perhaps you could expound a bit more though!

Thank you, Lonnie

Yes, I thought the theme would carry the poem along, but it did not. I will look at it again when the flow returns fully. Thank you. T.

Thank you...

Thank you for the reading and for the comment. May be if I change the title it will give clarity to the message in the poem, or may be the structure is flawed. What do you think? Best wishes. T.
