Love Justice

Love, a curse or a boon
a query that has grown
there exist a lucky few
who hath tasted this feeling true

Young love likens a rosebud
pure and delicate, unshed
canst not get enough of the other
forever dying to be together
hearts thudding furious
pulse racing and curious
earnest to explore in negligence
the new world bathed in brilliance
like a bud eager to bloom
and bee to devour

(Love is justified)

Time flies in dalliance
love blooming with experience
with it comes trust
and assurance a must
here and then they falter
unable to alter
bud devoid of the dew
fragrance fading in lieu

(Is love justified?)

The rose now in full bloom
as love on its way to doom
arduous is the test of love
withering away if not conveyed
chiding and belittling the other
love start its decline and wither

It has happened time and again
repeating itself in vain
alas! In the minds of those
the answer still remain!!!

"Love's Labor's Lost!" You've traced the tale of love. With all its pitfalls and heartaches, it's still worth it-withered or in full bloom! Nice write.

So beautiful and romantic, and being a romantic I will say love only withers when we stop to water, and how easily love is regained when we tend back to the garden of devotion!
