The Rose Garden

There's a certain duality in love

Love is like walking through a rose garden

who's sweet scent surrounds us,

but no pain must be forgotten.

That cold iron tinge of our own blood

as those thorns rip through our skin

pouring forth like a crimson flood.

Until we reach their warm embrace

and we find it all right there

in that soft, loving place.

Excellent use of metaphor to describe love. This my friend is new use for the old rose/thorn metaphor. Nicely done!

it is poem full of metaphors, it is something unique i like the symbol of a rose.
