"' Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become.'"


There once was a 

splendid, 

magnicficent 

flower

a rich complex

of darker and 

lighter shades

of blood red 

It was said 

to be a 

devil;

a demon

in an angel

disguise 

Young 

confident

bashful 

men

would clumsily

shove these

disgraceful flowers

into a young

maiden's open

hands 

expressing their

undying

emotion and 

in return 

receive 

the woman

of their dreams

and hopes 

that they're 

meant to be 

 

But the 

flower 

was a curse 

a spell

cast upon 

the young couples

They were doomed 

the day

they eloped

and flew away

to God-knows-where

Passionate love 

brought 

children 

through difficulty

The flower's curse 

wove its way

through

families 

breaking 

marriages 

piling used tissuses 

of teardrops 

in a corner 

But 

with it

the flower

brought 

joy and happiness

pure beauty

drawing

out its 

true pure

beauty

 

The flower 

was seen

to bring hardships,

lust, pride,

but also 

joy, beauty,

happiness,

 and most of all 

love 

Love that

was beautiful

though

not perfect

That had 

a heroic side 

and evil defensive 

skills 

but 

always showed 

that it 

would be there 

until death 

do them

part

 

This is what

the true 

meaning

behind

the flower

in which we call

rose 

 

The small,

sharp thorns

is the 

defensive skill

while the blossoming bud

of the rose

is the true 

beauty

that shines within

and gives 

the smple,

short, 

sweet, 

yet

powerful messages

 

I love you 

and 

'Til death do 

us part

 

This is 

the legend 

of the rose

Thank you again for reading this. I came up with this idea of a poem like that in a split second once again. I wanted to write the true meaning behind the rose and what it meant so that you would have a clearer understanding behind a rose when a guy/girl gave one to you if you didn't understand what one meant and it's okay if you didn't don't be ashamed there's a lot of things that I could tell you that I personally  didn't know myself. So I hope that you once again enjoy and understanding the meaning behind the scences. Love you guys so much and have a wonderful day.
