True Love is a poem from my poetry book Melodious Verse.

True Love is a lament love poem, a dodecastich written in three quatrains of ballad rhyme and 73 words centered for aesthetic symmetry.

Image by me, silhouette of True Love.

True Love I looked into her eyes gently. I saw her love burning inside. Her love for me was growing. As we both stood there and cried. I’m leaving in the morning. When I return, I do not know. I only hope that while I’m gone. Your love for me will grow. I returned a while later. Her love did not stay true. I found her with another man. A friend that I once knew. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison
