Growth of Beauty
Growth of Beauty
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the start you were my beautiful blossom
I needed a reason to stick around
Although you were nascent I could see the truth which lies within
Such an abstruse fact is always veiled
The rose surrounds itself with thorns for protection
Every time I desired to touch you, my finger tips bled
You allowed me to glimpse your beauty but only from afar
Knowing your need for more, fueled my determination
Seeking the path through walls of anguish and grief
Bitter torment sharpened barbs and past shards
But not just to see my desire, my touch was an intrinsic need
For your blossoming needed to be carefully tended
When I gently removed the bruises from your soul
Thy essence needed a new and safer place to grow
You found it in my heart, this garden which I've reserved
For you my lovely lonely shadowed rose
The desolation of that barren and weeded past is no more
I've touched the velvet joy of many souls in bloom but none like you
Your silent message to me was loud and clear
So here and now in our new Eden of love together we grow.
