Poetry & Narrative Can Be Friends in Writing!

Here is a good example of writing poetry with narrative, as used in my book "Revelations Of Love" also out on Amazon.  I have separated the poetry and narration with lines for this blog post.  The book is different.

Dedication   Revelations of love is a deeper look into the true meaning of love as it changes
over time, and as we age. It is dedicated to all those who have wondered what
love is truly all about....I dedicate this book to you!


Love was young

and they were too

they didn't stop to think it through .


Often the emotions that accompany the thrill of love, overpowers the

demands that love will call for later in life. One must realize that
there are demands, and prepare for them.

Love has to grow

and become mature

if it ever wants to endure



Mature love realizes that is the beginning love is physical....

but as time passes and your life truly begins, the everyday

routine of life can often pull on a relationship. The first thrill

of being together fades, and life begins as it should, but the real

love for one another should become deeper if its real and more faithful

as you grow together. You must take time to allow yourselves to grow

Love is a journey that never ends

on a road with twist and bends





Love can often be bumpy at the beginning, and over the years

you must decide if you are in it for the long haul.....

____________________________________________________



It was a side of love I didn't see

like soft rain falling on you and me

love often made me cry

from a hurt so deep inside



You must decide when to forgive!
____________________________________________________





Love is like a traveler on a train

makes many stops along the way

You must take time in your search for love

and not make one stop your final destination!
________________________________________




Love is like looking at the stars

it can seem so close, and yet so far



Love is often closer than you imagine

if you look deep into a persons heart

and not the outer appearance

________________________________________




Love can often seem to come

like a thief in the night

when all the time it was in plain sight


Often we get caught up in the fantasy of love....like in the movies

and that closes our eyes to what's around us. We keep looking

for a woman, or a man that lives up to that fantasy. We must be

realistic. We're in the “Real World” not the movies.

___________________________________________


Love ask a price it isn't free

death to self is the fee!



To be in love is a sacrifice of self....putting the other person above yourself

willing to often put your dreams asleep for awhile, yet knowing that there is

a joy in seeing the happiness of the person you love!

_______________________________________________







Love may often need direction

to lead it to it's true affection


Often the paths in our lives....our occupations...our dreams

may lead us to what we want in life...but not to real love

never settle for silver...when you could have gold. Keep your

eyes open, and always keep your perspectives clear

when it comes to love.

Love may often seem bitter cold

in arms once young

that now are old


Love is still there if it's true Our bodies age, but love never grows old

only deeper!
______________________________________________

ove travels a highway all alone

looking for a place to call its home

looking for a heart open and free

a heart that will truly let it be


Love never stifles or smothers, it lets the person be free to be.
________________________________________________



Love needs the warmth of another soul

in order to reach loves highest goal


No matter how much we achieve in life, we still long
for someone to share it with.
someone to care about us, love us. Love is

the universal desire in every soul

nothing in life we have achieved matters

if we are alone and feel unloved.
_____________________________________________



Love forgives and never holds

un-forgiveness in its soul



un-forgiveness is a poison...it effects every part of you

and it hurts only you. The un-forgiven person usually

goes on with his life....most often never knowing the hurt

they have caused because its usually internal...never voiced to them.
____________________________________________________


The revelation of love comes to each heart

as time passed and years depart

you see love differently than before

when love first knocked on your door


Love doesn't change...but the concept does as we age

love is truly revealed then for the beauty it is!

___________________________________

Love wants to be free to fly

never stifled, or it will die

physical love is only a part

of the many aspects of loves heart


The true meaning of the wedding vows are tested as we grow older
“In sickness & in health...forsaking all others...till death do us part”

________________________________________


Love is like an eclipse of the heart

separating the light from the dark



Often love will reveal the true heart of a person...the inner man

the real self can't hide from love....love reveals all...often what

we don't want to see or know abut the other person that

we thought we knew so well !

________________________________________


Love cannot stay hidden

it will always come to the light

revealing what is wrong, and what is right



Love reveals the intent of the heart, the inner self that no one sees

love wants to make us the best man or woman we can be by

revealing things that can smother it or cause it harm..causing a

death to the relationship. Love is a flashlight into the soul

shining on every part...showing what needs to be delt with

in order to survive!
___________________________________________


Love wants to travel across the land

sharing itself with others...that's its plan


A person who has found love, and is basking in its beauty

can't help but want to share the treasure with others. The more they

give love...the more they receive!

___________________________________________


Even in the storms of life

love always draws us to the light


Storms of life can't defeat love if it's real, storms only make love stronger!

____________________________________________________________


Love always wants to be your friend

and travel life with you until the end


Love always starts with friendship. There may be times you need a friend....

how wonderful if you have both..someone to listen to you...

share your dreams...believe in you ...and love you!
____________________________________


Love shows compassion to all it meets

it never slumbers...it never sleeps



love shares with all it meets, not just with the beloved

always willing to give to others...never thinking of self !

_____________________________________________


Love wears a coat of many colors

helping us to know we are all brothers


Love is so vast, it can't be confined to a few
its not just for me and you...love is universal !

___________________________________




Love reflects upon the past

knowing that love can last

like the caterpillar we all see

love transforms you and me



Love changes us ...transforms us..makes us a better person

because you cannot meet loves many faces and stay the same!
______________________________________


Love is the cry in every soul

from the very young

to the very old


The saddest thing is to hear someone say they do not feel loved

the quest for love starts at birth

and continues until our last day on earth!
_____________________________________


Love a Revelation

Love is a revelation that comes over years and time

to be fully understood in your heart and mine

loves revelations are as precious as gold

to understand them all would take a lifetime to behold

so what is love you want to know

love is a whisper in the wind

that no words can describe...it has no end

it's a quest that calls to every heart

yet still no one knows just how love starts!

Love is more than a word, love has many faces, and goes deeper than just physical love

love shows compassion. It transforming...its available to all...it's a guiding light in the soul

love is a gift in every heart from God. You do not have to be in love to share love.

You do not have to be married...you can be rich of poor, of any race, creed, or color. Love

is a revelation, and once understood in the heart will transform you to its highest

goal....which is love for one another!
