TWO SIDES.

Two sides of love, known well
Opposite emotion, spreads a spell
Giving explosion, happiness kind
Or darker side, we can act blind

No path of love, smooth-unchanged
Hope to experience, happier range
Life play games, expect up-downs
A smile replaced, with sad frown

Relationship mine fields, rough-smooth
Unable to select, and the better choose
Is love an experience, just for the young
Or do the mature, get hearts stung?

Do some experience, love of sheer bliss
Though many heartaches, end with a kiss
What if long distance, a reality factor
Uncertainty at times, hold lovers capture

For many true love, never runs smooth
At times believing, you're stuck in a groove
To hang in there, the only way to go
Trust, love and patience, just seeds you sow

Sharing a life, can be the prize
As with confidence, you rise
To an outcome, happiness based
Strength together, life's demons faced...….

Interesting poem on love Kathy, thanks for sharing it, I personally think any relationship can be challenging and true love, trust, patience, consideration and determination to relate well can help overcome most obstacles including for those in long distance relationships

I once read that distance is only a test to show just how far your love can travel.
I have friends and family members who overcame such a test and they are very happy :)teddybear

Hi, niah9,
No path of love, smooth-unchanged — nor would we want it any other way, for only through change can love grow. To the poet's question Is love an experience, just for the young...? , I surmise, Love is for anyone brave enough to open themselves to its possibilities. There are neither guarantees to the young nor to the not-as-young. Enjoyed exploring the verses of TWO SIDES. Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes...gnj4u....Love is for all ages, and comes with a roller coaster ride of ups and downs...until it finally settles......and hopefully, we are able to enjoy...….Kathy......wink grin

Well what to say you lovely ladies have said all the words & completely agree with all you. Infact I'm in a Live-in relationship where it's one sided, the sacrifice & unconditional love is from my side but i go through it & never want to give up firstly cause of my Little Angel Daughter Leilani who is attached to both of us & if were to separate cause of our in-differences the little one would suffer & that pain of my little angel i don't want to see, also because there's something i want to prove to my lady that my love no matter what I will still love you & go that extra mile with you in all aspects of life & when the time comes to pass on across the hills beyond the sunset, I will walk with you hand in hand & want to prove to the world that just because of in-differences in a relationship why separate, why make Children suffer, the Little Angels whom didn't ask to come into this world but we brought them forth into this world & just because of our in-differences we make them suffer, Nooooooooooooo why should it be this way, why can't two people work out the in-differences if they truly unconditionally love their kids, why this selfishness of only thinking of ourselves & not our kids lives, Well I conclude by saying even though in my relationship it's one sided that's from my side the true unconditional love which someday there will be a reckoning & changes will happen from my 'PARTNER' 's side. Lovely Poem Miss Niah9 - Dylan.
