Poem #1
When I picture love,
I picture a young couple:
Their faces are thirty years from wrinkles,
Their eyes sparkle with dreams and ambitions
When I picture this young couple,
I picture a love grounded by passion
Morning and night they think of each other,
Daytime and evening they spend together
When I picture this passion,
I picture love songs full of vows and promises
They promise each other world,
They promise each other eternal feelings of love
When I picture these vows,
I picture the excitement inside them
Dancing and singing, laughing and smiling,
All is done with excitement and joy
When I picture this excitement,
I picture the feelings of faithfulness residing in it
This faithfulness is proved by their vows;
It is expressed by their passion
When I picture love,
I picture a young couple,
I picture passion,
I picture vows,
I picture excitement,
I picture faithfulness
That's what true love is.
Poem #2
When I picture love,
I picture an old couple:
Their faces are wrinkled, but very kind
Their eyes tell a tale of their wisdom
When I picture this old couple,
I picture a love grounded by decision
Passion has given way to conscious choice
It's less a loud laugh, more a peaceful smile
When I picture this decision,
I picture the endurance that has welded it
The vows that were once said are now shown
The promises are proved by endurance
When I picture this endurance,
I picture the calmness and stillness inside it
The roller-coaster of excitement has ended,
But the hand-in-hand walk of love is beginning
When I picture this calmness,
I picture the life-long faithfulness residing in it
This faithfulness is proved by their endurance;
It is expressed by their decision
When I picture love,
I picture an old couple,
I picture decision,
I picture endurance,
I picture calmness,
I picture faithfulness
That's what true love is.

- Artist: The Flies Are Dancing
- Description: Written for my Christian Ethics 30 class. We had to contrast two kinds of love, I did the 'new', passionate kind, and the 'old', commited kind. Hope you enjoy! PS: by the way, I'm not trying to say that one is right and one is wrong. They are just different.
