Love is often described as a rose.
I ponder the reason.
May it be, because a rose is 'oh so sweet, yet fragile; with it's wax petals.
Or whether it be that love is a rose with thorns.
Without the thorns, the rose would be defenseless; the thorns defend the rose - such as the mind does the heart.
Could the thorns be the test of love?
The only thing stopping the destined rose barer from their sweet smelling flower; being the sharp and weaving rose stem, it's thorn waiting brisk-fully; not for who want it, but who deserve it.
Who deserves love?
Who makes that choice?
Well I guess the only way to find out...
Is to fall in love.
