Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

Whither It Goes

Our rosy love grew fast to bloom, 
Burnt in the heatwave of desire - 
Young and impervious to doom - 
Out-lusted, nothing to admire. 

We spurned our tender love, my rose;
Its lustre faded, petals dried, 
Fast beating hearts, now hollow, froze -
Nothing but thorns lodged deep inside. 

Short-sighted sweet impromptu love!
Strong lasting roots grow underground - 
Well nurtured is the rose we have -
And now it blossoms lifetime-round!

Gary Radice April 5, 2023 at 5:54 AM I'm tempted to use a bit of UK slang to describe your poem Margarita: 'Bloomin' Marvellous' :) Cheers - Gary Margarita Lillico April 5, 2023 at 7:04 AM I love UK slang:) Thanks Gary, coming from you made my day!!!

Daniel Turner March 20, 2023 at 4:54 PM Love is like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in it's defense. Very nice write, Maggie. Good luck! Margarita Lillico March 20, 2023 at 7:18 PM Acquitted then :) Thx

Katharine L. Sparrow March 20, 2023 at 4:10 PM I love the ending here, where deep roots support enduring love. I wrote a poem about roses as a metaphor for love as well, maybe I should post that one! You have inspired me. Margarita Lillico March 20, 2023 at 4:39 PM Please do:)
