 ~The Tender Rose~ A red rose in wintry snow, tossed in the still of the night ~hold her close~ though her petals cut like a knife covered in ice Moments in love prick the heart as thorns in bittersweet pain, it bleeds and stains the bitter snow Red rose, birth a flame within sweet whispers in the dark will melt a tender heart BloomingRose |

Yes, beautiful, I love yellow roses, myself but this is wonderful. "Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford |

Deb my friend, this is beautifully penned to show the power. Yes, it can be painful but it can also be as beautiful and tender as the rose. Loved the imagery in this one alot. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
