Jubilee of Roses

Neither puppy love nor lust, each insists in its imperfect play. Their hearts resist both by clinging in its barbaric way. Youth forgiven. The wolf begs her to stay. But a commitment is made in marriage. It is not found in a baby carriage. What do we know of love - it’s not first sight. It is the highs and lows - bond holds on tight. Love’s patient, kind, not selfish nor boastful. It’s the making of memories - joyful. To let go of bitterness’ a decision. Poof like magic, the wrongs are forgiven. Black and blues, the stumbles and falls, gets up on the horse - believers climb to the top. ~ Now what of those years, of the worse decrease? Does the sorrow make the better cerise? Does the white-gowned wife, handsome groom resume as if the bond is pruned, roses in bloom? Yes, the rivulets of tears reverent. The jubilee melody resonant. When love is stirred with sugar and nettles, sorrow’d years melt. Felicitous petals land on silver hair and wrinkles. O God! Yes, three cords complete and restore the flawed. Love protects, hopes, perseveres in trials. The truth of a lifetime's years in their smiles. Shakespeare regales Summer’s hot gaze, short days. Yet love stoked in the Winter’s hearth - O blaze! 1/30/2021 What Is Love Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker Hybronnet is similar to a sonnet, can have a variable rhyme scheme, does not have to be iambic meter.
