Sweet scented petal soft beauty
which stands for love and happiness
but marring its' abilities
the thorns which rupture truthfullness.

Love offers gifts to each of us
but with it comes the bitter sting
An unexpected stabbing thus
reality, the rose thorns bring.

Why does this have to be so true? :-( I hope we can find some thornless roses one day.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

I definately think that love can be a rough ride if two hearts are not matched...often times we choose to proceed even when the effort seems risky...and thus the pain...speaking from experience...James

Tough love is all around. I must agree with what you have written.

Cold hands means a warm heart

So deep the touch of rose
when skin does feel the thorn
where in love's path is chose
and hearts in tear are torn

excellent write Sandra...so true is the
hurt that comes with the beauty of love
when all does not go well..

This is a lovely poem, Sandra...and so true.
It seems like the most beautiful roses have the most thorns.
