Precious Petals

Does your heart cry out

For something more

 

Do you ache and bleed

Crying when he walks out the door

 

Be it father or spouse

Man or boy

 

You must know

that your heart is precious

It is not a toy

 

Many say this

Yet so few know

What lies within

What your afraid to show

 

The delicacies of your heart

The intracies of your soul

Are not so simple

May I be bold?

 

No man can fill

the void you feel

 

No love in the dark

will help your spirit heal

 

Roses are pretty

But do they last

 

When the night is over

Does he look at you and pass

 

You deserve better

You were meant for more

 

No man will give you

What you will not wait for

 

You can find fun

In a night at a bar

 

Or you can find yourself

by exploring who you are

 

Investing in your happiness

is like learning to fish

 

Your not just satisfied for the day

You can eat any time you wish

 

And when you meet the man

Who is to be the one

 

He will see the woman you are

And you will know he is the One

 

You will know because he cares

You'll know because he's there

and not just when its easy

and you'll know

because he hears

 

He and you

will give and take

You will be his Rose

And you will be His Mate

 

Nothing easy is worth it

and nothing worth it is easy

My Grandmother used to say

As I sit here tonight

Those words ring true today

 

When you meet the one

Who will treat you right

You'll be as a flower

Precious, delicate petals

In His sight.

Author's Note

As a disabled veteran, I volunteer with other disabled veterans and also have a sister and my friend of 20+ years have both recently gone through divorces. I was reading some other writers poetry on here tonight specifically Antonio Valentino's Of Words, which BTW I highly reccomend his writing, and it inspired me to write this. Less of a poem more of an inspirational reminder to women all women men as well I suppose, that yes, True Love exsists in us all, It just takes patients and work. Its not a simple kiss from spider man, or some other theatrical version we see in Movies, and it takes two whole people coming together to create a dynamic marriage of partners, not two halves who are co-dependent and feeding on the others jealousy and insecurity. While I do realize that we all have our flaws, I myself struggle with insecurity, it is not something that should be thrown on to our partner. These are simply my musings. Thank you for reading and your feedback is appreciated!! UKV

A truly wonderful love poem, brimming with hope and realism. I loved every word of it. Impressed by the content, theme's wordplay and imagry, totally entranced from top to bottom. So glad that I clicked on this. Thank you so much for posting it. You have brightened my day

Love the flow and the rhyme you share through each line of stanza...

A rose is the closest a man will ever come to a women's sensuality...

[Antonio Valentino]

You are a rose my friend, one who's fragrance blooms into the night, making the stars wink back...

loved this garden you created, it fills the hills with hope and anticipation...
