Love that speaks in free verse.

Why is it that we women always have love on our minds? Sigh... Well, since I am a women I will share a thought on love...

I want a love that speaks in free verse.

The following is a modest insight into the inspiration of a love that speaks in free verse. I do apologize if this is not understandable, but I hope you find it interesting...In Shakespearian Romeo and Juliet, Romeo shows love for two women. First, he loves Rosaline of whom he speaks of in iambic pentameter. This illustrates that Romeo loves her in a religious, by the book type of method. This love has a how to, a set of regulations and rules on how one is to love the other. When Romeo speaks to Juliet however, he speaks in free verse, which illustrates that his love is a passionate out pouring of the heart with no rules to restrain, contain, nor govern it. That's the form of love I desire... A love that speaks in free verse.

I don't know why this is a struggle for some people. I've felt too often that I just fit into the "life plan" of my significant other. He thought he needed a good wife, I am a good woman, therefore I would be a good wife for him. NO! What about the deep, passionate longing to be one with me? Not just physically, but one with my soul? Genesis states that the man and woman become one. Oneness. In order to have oneness you must desire the whole person, not just the idea of an "ideal" marriage partner. I've been bruised and scarred by the expectations of being some perfect, ideal person. While claims were made that love was true, it wasn't. Sure, the idea of being a great match seemed wonderful, but it wasn't really me they loved. It was the idea of marrying a woman like me that they loved. So when my flaws shown through, the love was proven to be conditional. And so, I cannot believe that I've ever been truly loved. Not like Romeo loved Juliet. Yes, maybe it is wild and careless at times... But it's freeverse, passionate and true.
