Notes About The Poem
Just warming up my Sonnet hat lol

The Rose and The Briar



Some may imagine Paris in the Spring; Champagne kisses that heat love's burning flame. Some say romance dies with a wedding ring. Oh, but I believe that is such a shame. Too often it's confused, true love and lust, as well as what sweet romance truly means. Two become one, in bone, in blood, in trust, commitment, one thing romance supervenes. Not only whirlwinds, thunder beating breast; lusts that burn to ash in tongues of fire. It's the gentle caress, your lovers breath, in loving both the rose and the briar. Romance, is in everyday little things, from seeds sown through the years that bloom in Spring.

Your sonnet bonnet wears very well. The delighting carnal within marriage frontiers cements the other 4 million essential elements of a marriage to last the ages....and beyond. Communication, trust, joy, support, faithfulness, Faith adjacent, accountability, listening, hearing, humor, comfort, et cetera......ad infinitum..... =:o]

Romance is alive and well Crystol, still going strong for me, over forty years now. Had a lovely few days in Paris a few years ago, the city of romance. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the coming New Year.. Tom
