Ah, sunflowers dance up ahead
The smell of cinnamon creeps up
An unstoppable grin across my mouth
I found a new love

A relationship starts out smooth
Staying that way for a month or so
Then as time progresses
Rocks form on the road

Once the feeling of new love is gone
You subject eachother to the anger within
Your attitude gets the best of you
And the fights begin

I guess some are easily bored
Seeking out entertainment of some form
You were the warm sun when love begun
Now you're the eye of the storm

You get too fond of eachother
Tired of the repetitive routine
Amasing how just a month ago
This was the person of your dreams

New love gets old
It loses its magic
Sometimes it's repairable
Other times ends tragic

I don't know but I think sometimes the pain and anger are telling you to move on and sometimes you realize that you want to stay and work through the pain and anger...depends on how compatable or comfortable you are with each other...we will have many friends and lovers but only a few truly special ones...James

mmmmmmm I think love is about working things out. You can build a stronger love by learning to understand each other and working through pain and anger. But I also guess that sometimes it just has to end. Very well written. This poem is going to make lots of people think.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Very true and very real write, Rose Petals.  All too often we jump in with both feet before taking a serious look around what we are getting into.  Sometimes we don't realize until it's too late.  That is the true tragedy.  Good write.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

I think, that if a new love gets like this, then it is not a love at all. An infatuation maybe, a passion perhaps, but no, not love. Love does not turn to this for a long time, if ever. May be time to examine if the person is really who you thought they were.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Rosepetal,

   I agree with Tracey.  If it's true love.. a month is just a drop in the bucket.  Infatuaion is a strange thing... one that people WAY to often call love.  Good write. I enjoyed  

Hugs,
Tara

Thank you for all the replies. I think that there isnt a time limit of how long before you fall in love. It all depends on the individial and the situation. A couple may fall in love after 10 months and another couple might fall in 5. Infatuation happens alot those these days, especially with teens.
Thanks Again everyone. : )

This poem hit some truths!
People mistake love with infatuation...or they lust after someone too quickly. Great poem!

Do or die!
