The Love Rose

The Love Rose Love like a red rose bloomed in our hearts It grew in time but was disguised Hidden thorns prick and stings in our souls Until there is no more to unfold It’s season’s change and love now grows cold Our lives circled out of control Sweet smelling scent of love has vanished Broken hearts with gloom are banished Nectar of love vapor Crimson petals fall in the glistening rain Lapse of time between us has refrain Thinking our destiny was love bound Captivating passions spellbound The wilting desert rose cannot survive If not rekindled with the sky’s Raining tears of restoration Memories in admiration Can we again fall in love? Love like petals falling to the ground Parting wasn’t in the foreground Essence of love renews our romance Alive our hearts still dance Your ear to my breast hear it bellow My words in my being echo Waiting for your riposte My beating remains innermost I’m still in love with you For our love never really grows cold Unless you want to let it go So like the rose lets try a new bloom Take in all joys and refresh anew Love like a red rose blooms in our hearts Its thorns now guards and not disguised Our souls were never disconnected We are bound forevermore I’m still in love with you As we walk among our flowers We feel the scent of love again!
