Mockingbird Stevenson Poet Free verse

True Love

True love 

To love is not to possess,
To own or imprison,
Nor to lose sense of one’s self in another.
Love is the coming together of two, 
To better yourself as you grow and start your family together. 

Love is to find comfort , 
in who we really are
Removing dependency,
Whilst perfectly joined in the solace of permanent commitment
To one’s self, 
and to eachother

Love is stronger when it flows freely,
Communicating openly and honestly. 
moving lovingly like the oceans tide
With synchronicity, kindness and harmony

Love is finally, 
despite  a child’s greatest fears or an adults deepest wounds,
A chance to be openly free 

Showing who you really are–and secretly always were,
In the very core of your being.
 
Love is being on the same team even when fighting, best friends forever, confidents, soul comforters.

Love is a never ending journey 
Shared and bound for eternity.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
