True Love

Just as the blush will always leave the rose and leaves of fall will crumble on the ground, the love that comes when you’re in the throes of lust can’t last, for love must be profound! True love is patient and forgiving too. It’s wise and cheerful, and it’s built on trust. There’s nothing that your true love would not do to keep love strong; uprightness is a must. Most people can’t conceive of love like this. It takes hard work for such love to be sure. The expectation of a life of bliss is why a common love cannot endure. The lucky few who live and know true love are those who can expect great joy above.

Andrea you nailed it x "When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful." - M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Travelled

Your sonnet flows so beautifully and i agree true love is patient and forgiving, we live in a generation where true love is no longer as it used to be. True love was how my grandma loved grandpa so selfless and true! It takes hard work to keep love going, so true. Love this sonnet! Fave for me

So true of true love. Like two joined in heart and spirit as one. One cannot live without the other. I was blessed with my soulmate now gone.
