what matters
intertwined as two roses
cognizant of one hope we share...
growing together in love
at times seemingly reaching
for radiance from other sources
we stray from where true love resides...
within each other
impediments encompassing us
always a threat to
love's process and progress
thorns prick our sides
reminding us how really close we are
how really vulnerable we are
and how, sometimes, love can hurt
the only saving grace being
what is deep rooted
that the heart of the matter
is what matters...
