A Rose For All Seasons

A Rose For All Seasons

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(an anniversary offering)

"
this gift to you of perfumed love
confirms my heart is taken
although at times we disagree
does not mean i'm mistaken
it simply states that i am free
to voice my thoughts at leisure
and you my darling are the one
to suffer that forever

your poem puts a big smile on me face Christine! what a fine love you speak of ... and a pretty good relationship too! Norma and i were on the same pages politically and spiritually so on those we preached to the choir when talking about world happenings .. but on people .. she relied on her Italian "spider sense" and held those snap opinions as etched in stone where i took a long time to decide that someone may not be the greatest person in the world .. both qualities of strength and weakness ;) love your poem .. made me think of Norma

Thank you, new to this site and feeling my way along.
dear Chris... I love to read poems with romantic
gestures... the depth of your words gilded in humor
are priceless... a golden 14 caret heart to entwine the
love bespoken. The last line--"and you my darling are the one
to suffer that forever"... truly, Pat

Beautiful, and droll, tribute dear Chris. Yes, an enduring love, one for all time, allows both partners to breathe and grow individually, as well as together. Your wise lines so well and concisely describe this for us in great language, form, cadence, rhyme and flow. Love this my friend!
