The Rose

The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need

I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give

and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long

and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love

in the spring
becomes the
rose

:heart:
Fati

  6. Hi,FatimahThank you for this post.It’s beautiful and implicate more meaning,I think.I read it again and again to make sure that I can understand it.What is love?It’s a difficult problem,which he cannot answer until he exprience.Yeh,not every love may be happy and painless,bust just one who take place in can take pleasure in.Love is nothing but experiences,full of every feeling and emotion of human.The great love can stand up against every suffering;the great love can introject through the distance of the time and the space;the great love never come to until the last second.:heart:Li Wang

  18. Dear dear Fatimah,You are a gifted one. A wonderful poem I dont care if you write it or quoted it. It makes very little difference. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. The Rose poem is one such. It was only in the second reading I got the full impact of the ending lines. SO PROFOUND. Your choice of pictures is great. Esp. It is the heart that is afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.Thanks and Love to allRKK
