There was acrimony in the air, <br />The smiles from lips were long gone, <br />The affection had become the thing of the past, <br />The love was all battered teethering on last straws. <br /> <br />The rift between two loving hearts were deepening, <br />the two united souls were drifting further and further apart, <br />The communication had completely broken down, <br />We were two strangers living in domain of our own. <br />. <br />While walking in the garden, I was adoring the beautiful roses, <br />The fragrance of roses reminded me the senous lover of not that distant past, <br />The sparkling beauty of roses brought the memories of the smile on her face, <br />The resilience of the roses to all kind of weather, <br />touched my heart with the notion of never ending love. <br /> <br />To mend my dwindling relationship, I reluctantly plucked a rose bud, <br />Instead of offering it t the spreme God, I presented it to my divine love, <br />I could see the smirk of smile on her face making it flush in pink, <br />I could see the glow of happiness in the corner of her eyes. <br /> <br />The miracle of rose buds united the two hearts again, <br />I found the romance in a hug after a long time, <br />An affectionate kiss sent my head reeling in the exalted land, <br />I hope our love would be as resilient as the bud of a rose.<br /><br />Jay P Narain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-it-up-with-a-rose-bud/
