I have never found that one true love
though I have played the part expected
by societal decree~
I have only ever
loved myself, you see,
not any one;
not any
single
thing.
He was my one true Love —
No other soul could bear —
The gravity of Silence —
That drew us — everywhere —
Which ever One departed —
The other would not stay —
For threads — of such a fiber —
Unravel — when away —
The Morning knew our Secret —
The Stars — were confidants —
The Sparrow in the Hedgerow —
Would echo — our response —
And should he leave before me —
My Breath would fold in twain —
The Pulse — would follow after —
As the moisture — after Rain —
I love you for you
Through and through I wait for love
nightly needing you
There is only one true love I've held
perfect in form and temperament
where passion gathered our soul
with the lifeblood of hope and desire
that lay beneath our feet as a path to follow
using heartbeats as a compass
to guide us to the fragrant realms
of earthly scents
that rose on the breath of our yearning
and claimed the most precious moment
when love arrived dressed in a glorious glow
of emotional enchantment and sublime serenity
to water the eyes with welcomed warmth
revealing the true nature of love's luxurious luster
found glowing in magical gardens
laden with sensual sighs blooming within
as we walked in the meadow of dreams
filled with purple asters
finding our reflection in the dewdrops
covering the petals drenched in morning mist
a mirror of glittering light from a rising sun
allowing our dreams to wander in wonderous wonder
from the beauty we felt encasing us, capturing us
in a net of wonderful wishes
that led us towards the tender tranquility
of the shared love in our dreams
In the quiet of the night, I find
A place where hearts, like stars, align.
Your touch, a spark, ignites the sky,
And in your gaze, I learn to fly.
Each word you speak is sweet, like song,
A melody that hums along.
In every laugh, in every sigh,
I see the world through your bright eyes.
Through every storm, through every fight,
Your love remains my guiding light.
With every step, in every way,
You fill my heart more every day.
So here, my love, my heart I give,
For in your arms, I long to live.
With every breath, with every rhyme,
I’ll love you deeper, through all time.
Her one true love
Sits in front of her.
Or across the room—
She can’t decide yet.
She’s never talked to
The one sitting in front of her.
She thinks it’s odd,
Seeing as how they’ve sat
In the same place
For three-quarters of the year.
But she looks
At the back of his head
Monday to Friday
During sixth period.
She watches as he raises his hand
To answer a question.
As usual,
He gets it right.
The one across the room,
In the front,
Smiles at her
Monday to Friday
During sixth period.
He waits for her after class
Hoping he can walk with her.
Sometimes she doesn’t remember.
He’s looking back to smile at her now—
Until the boy sitting in front of the girl
Turns around
And looks at the clock behind her.
She’s ecstatic.
The boy across the room turns back to the front.
One true love

I string these words together
Like beautiful ornaments on a Christmas tree
They light up the Universe
And they set my soul free
I know this beauty reaches you
Through the vastness of time and space
I feel their love and light resonate
Inside your pure heart's space
Blessed by their power
Their honesty and love
Your soul will be protected
For God watches from above
For all words are special spells
And we wield them with grace and prayer
We use them to love each other
Especially when we're not near
I string these words together
And ask God and His Angels to pass them on
I pray that you'll always know this
That you are my one true love

One love
One true love
Through all of life's storms
Through sad times
Through happy times
Our path may be strewn
With obstacles
But the bottom line
Is triumph in the end
Ability to look back and say
All things considered
It couldn't have been better
Love will always carry us through
It's what makes us tick
It's food for our soul
A reason to go on
In spite of the challenges
For when that special someone
Turns to you and says
You are my one love
My one and only love
It's music to your ears
Worth more than all the world's riches
More than life itself
Life finally has meaning
When you feel that love
That one true love
One love
One true love
Through all of life's storms
Through sad times
Through happy times
Our path may be strewn
With obstacles
But the bottom line
Is triumph in the end
Ability to look back and say
All things considered
It couldn't have been better
Love will always carry us through
It's what makes us tick
It's food for our soul
A reason to go on
In spite of the challenges
For when that special someone
Turns to you and says
You are my one love
My one and only love
It's music to your ears
Worth more than all the world's riches
More than life itself
Life finally has meaning
When you feel that love
That one true love
In the sky high above
Watching us all
Illuminating
Your love, a keeper it would be,
your kisses sweet as you,
and loving hugs a nice surprise,
especially with a view.
Your tender words, and sweet concern,
another thing to love.
My love will last as long as yours,
until death do us part.
But all things good must come to end,
and soon it did just that.
The words they rolled right of your tongue,
and hit me with a splat.
A onetime thing it was not,
and soon it came again.
This time though he didn't use words,
his fists instead caused pain.
But then he was himself once more,
all sweet and cuddly.
But then he looked at me and swore,
and then his temper came.
My life is not complete without,
the man I thought was mine,
but if I stay I will get hurt,
and that is not divine.
When women get into relationships they sometimes think after few months they have found the ONE. THats how I felt when I was in a relationship with my ex we were together 6 years and altho he never took me any we're apart from bowling a few times and rallies which were free I thought he was the one. Well one day out of nowhere he split up with me got the ole it's. Not you its me speech .well anyway few months later I got back on the horse so to speak I now realise that I actually have met my one true love we go places together he treats me right makes me laugh and we get each other and also say the same things at the same times sometimes we are 2 peas in a pod that's how I knew that my boyfriend and I were meant to be we are now looking to get a place of our own and I can't wait .he totally gets me and that is why I love him.
One True Love
Tis beauties nectar tasting quite divine
true essence of thy purist heart bestowed
enraptured by your sweetest loves design
thus hearts entwined whilst burning passion flowed.
Thy beauty dost compare to perfect DAY
when I look at thee with my loving eyes,
thy knows my heart still longs for thee to say,
thy loving words once hidden in disguise.
Tis torture when denied forbidden kiss;
like pouring rain hast doused my beating heart;
A shattered memory I want dismissed;
so our pure love has found a brand new start.
Our loving hearts becoming joined above
in all the Heavens' only one true love.

My heart beats only for you. My love for you is nothing but true.
When we first met, and i looked into your eyes, I knew that your love
for me was not a disguise. Whenever we are apart, I miss you so much
I miss your loving and tender touch. I know that I have found my true love
the one that I want for the rest of my life. Because every time we are apart
it cuts like a knife.
