Love is indeed not a toy,
neither is it a game,
it should be treated like roses,
should be nurtured
and nourished,
fed and watered daily,
cared for and respected.
It is certainly something
no one should take lightly.
It is one of the most intense feelings
that we as humans
should truly be able to
or be capable
of understanding.
Often though,
feelings may well be misunderstood,
which may lead to great heartache and misery.
Where one may have
profound feelings for another,
and then led through a maze of
intricate deceit,
but believing that there is honesty
and reciprocated emotions
only to find out
that this is not the case.
What ever the motives
or indiscretions,
untold lies, are the steps to
great sadness
when you are left
and discarded like an old used rag.
I liken this to
where once love
flourished like a blooming rose garden,
unfortunately
time may have weathered
said rose garden.
Where nourishment
and loving tender care
for the beauty of what once flowered,
fell by the wayside,
depleting the earth
of nutrients and nourishment.
Therefore ,
leaving the soil arid and dry,
when roses cry !
then
an occasional rose being born,
soon to perish,
leaving behind
only thorny wooded stalks.

This is beautifully written, yet so true. Many people take love for granted, don't see how much attention it needs not to die.
Excellent
WILLIAM

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(
They say it is better to have loved and lost, I think not.
The feelings this wells is powerful. Rejection is the worse feeling on earth, when one has given all. Tigger is write, true love never dies.
A keeper for sure....need to use this one as a bedside note I guess!!
Thanks Sister !!

You have beautifully described the angst that befalls
one when bereft of an honest return of love.
Saluda!
Always with respect and admiration.

Sometimes people are too lazy to say or even prove how they feel Then when the love is gone they wonder what happened? What did I do wrong?

should be nurtured
and nourished,
Profoundly true, and if it isn't, it does wither and die like the rose.
Powerfully penned, Elga.
Yes,love should be treated like roses,gently.
Love is a rose and it is so sad to see the rose discarded
as if it is just a weed.The good news is (I guess) new blooms
are always just a season away.All your poem was wise and true.
