Romantic Relationships

Romance is like a rose bush,

Left unattended it is wild and can’t be hushed.

However, pampered and cared for  by you and me,

It will bring out the beauty for all to see.

Beware of the many thorns,

 Or your heart will be torn.

They will catch you off guard,

The pain will make your feelings hard.

Romance is a strange companion,

Wanting passion, yet freedom.

Dare not to smother,

Yet attention without a bother.

Dare to be romantic if you want,

But be prepared like a web to get caught.

For when we have a romantic dream,

A tangle web we will weave.

However, romance never felt at all,

Leaves a whole in a heart and builds a wall.

Choose wisely for a perfect romance,

Don’t dance the black widow spider dance.

Life is short, but love can be long,

Let it flow all day where it belongs.

Passion is the key to romance,

Never do a vulgar dance.

Beauty is the key forever,

Nurture your rose and she’ll remember.

When your guy needs quiet time,

Let him chill and he’ll be fine.

Don’t try to be everything,

Just follow your first dream.

Don’t let your romance go wild,

Groom it like the perfect child.
