Throw down your happy ending fairy tale books, true love is found in the real world.

Unwritten Love

photo owned by author

Whimsies desire for a Cinderella ending
But it’s just a fanciful imagination
A King Arthur’s kiss worth endearing
A naïve girl… giving in without hesitation.

Dreamers believe love is expressed in poetic lines
Well-written – words so tightly knit
But love should show some signs
Promises and vows – to a puzzled heart fits. 

Young girls who fancy fairytale love stories are so naïve
Giggling for nothing… falling head-over heels to a Prince Charming that everyone digs
But true love is unwritten, telling your heart to just believe.
Enjoying and treasuring each sensation as you get kiss on the lips.

Girls loves reading tales about “True love”
And foolishly think it suit them.
Yet…only two strangers can share real love,
It’s like keeping your own gem.

True love is unwritten… I guess
It nests in your heart to keep.
And you’ll never experience one… unless
You put down the fairy tale book and never let your heart fall asleep. .

    Parents will always have this true and unconditional love for their children. Gusto kong ipabasa ito sa anak ko.

    Sometimes, its nice to dream and giggle a lot for a certain someone yet girls must open their eyes to realities that there is no happily ever after. Good lines kuya, very well composed.

    Nice to share your feelings

    wonderful write, I hear what you are saying here. Thanks for sharing

  • Judy Sheldon on Jun 13, 2011

    Beautifully written, but parents do try to protect their young from love until they are ready. We want the world for them and do not want them falling for someone until school and career are in place.

    I like the poem. By the way who is the beautiful girl in the picture?

    “Only two strangers can share real love
    It’s like keeping your own gem.”

    Wow, just wow. Lay aside all the crap and meet life with an open heart. This is utterly beautiful – like the lovely lady you photographed. Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this.

    True love really exists in the real world but it doesn’t entail happiness alone, loving someone truly requires sacrifices and sometimes tears but as Jose Rizal said “joy blossoms from suffering”. A very nice poem.

  • Muhammad Fajar Marthias on Jun 14, 2011

    A great poem, so very well expressed! Thank you

  • kanivel on Jun 14, 2011

    Its an enjoyable poem. I liked this line

    ‘But true love is unwritten, telling your heart to just believe’

    I have experienced it, and so I know how true it is…

    But true love is unwritten, telling your heart to just believe.

    This is my favorite line. Nice poem.

  • Peace Poet on Jun 14, 2011

    This is a very powerful love poem. You are quite right that true love is unwritten. Love is a spontaneous and artless emotion.

  • Ebbin Jose on Jun 14, 2011

    There is nothing called true love and false love. Love is always true and Pure. If a feeling that lacks purity in it, or truth in it, then we should name it otherwise.

  • Payge on Jun 22, 2011

    Fairy tales are nice to read or even watch on television.But a romance in real life has its share of ups and downs that fairy tales do not.But well worth it if the right person is found.Beautifully written and loved it.

  • megamatt09 on Jun 23, 2011

    Well written and insightful.

  • Melody SJAL on Jun 25, 2011

  • fishfry aka Elizabeth Figueroa on Jun 28, 2011

    Well written, and beautifully expressed.
    A girls fairy tale and a young mans; stop when the reality sets in aka a broken heart.
