When love is young and new to sprout,
it over whelms and all consumes-
with amorous and mind perfumes.
Putting blinders on the heart-
with no intent to let it out.
When you learn each others quirks,
familiarity can numb-
leaving the conversations dumb.
If that fails to tear you apart-
then soon another danger lurks.
When tempters comes in random shapes,
depending on the strength of will-
sometimes your loyalty may spill.
Taking trust back to the start-
a path of which has no escapes.
When all the pleasantries are gone,
if still your bond is unbroken-
and no words are left unspoken.
No puzzles left without their parts-
then find a new relationship will dawn.
When the trials of time are past,
the mentioned dawn reveals a new form.
A gem was galvanized in the storm.
More precious is this gem of hearts
and its endurance will truly last.
When finally you don't pretend,
and all the curtains fall-
revealing totality in all.
This final truth I will impart
you've found your truest friend.
Author notes
Trying a new rhyme scheme with a few twists. Usually this would be a,b,b,a but I changed it up a bit with a,b,b,x,a where x is the constant. It was quite appeasing to my symmetrical minded OCD tendencies and was inspired by the usual inspiration (the love of my life).
Please leave a comment I know it seems a bit forced but the words are all true.

So True
The beginning of relationship can be so deceiving. Infatuation and lust can easily be confused for love...
I admire your ability to work within a rhyming format...if I did that I would likely loose all sense of my subject matter. Good Job!

What am I supposed to say?
Nice job with the format, for a first. I bet it was difficult.
I like your sincerity here. I can feel it throughout your poem.
I can also see this comes directly from the heart.
Beautiful job, as always.
