Life is full of

by Meena Krish   Sep 13, 2011


Life is full of stones and thorns
with you by my side they become
a path of flowers. Knowing each strength
I gain comes from your smile makes
every tomorrow easy to face.

I once thought love did not exist
and ripped its pages away from a
yearning heart, but they floated
back to me bearing your name which
never faded in the turbulent sea.

Love found a way when I least
expected it renewing a withered rose,
now my mornings awake to the noisy nest
that we have built and treasured
all these years.

    I love your use of metaphor in this piece - it is so effective. The stones and thorns becoming flowers in the first stanza, the ripping of the pages from a 'yearning heart' in the second and the 'withered rose' being renewed in the last all stood out. 5/5

    An excellent write that I enjoyed thoroughly.
    I hope you are well,
    Ben

    ---Amazing! Every line made so much sense.

    "Life is full of stones and thorns

    ----We face so many obstacles in life but if we are with that special someone it becomes less frustrating, bearable and at some point even enjoyable for he/she is there for support and they make us spend more time together, Those obstacles unite us and makes us create a stronger bond with the one we love.
    That someone that is with you from the thinnest to thickest of situations makes our life worth while.

    "I once thought love did not exist
    and ripped its pages away from a
    yearning heart, but they floated
    back to me bearing your name which
    never faded in the turbulent sea."

    --- "Everything happens for a reason and that's what this stanza tells me. Things have to happen for us to realize who is our true love.

    " Love found a way when I least
    expected it renewing a withered rose,
    now my mornings awake to the noisy nest
    that we have built and treasured
    all these years."

    ---- Love is mysterious and difficult to understand but once found is so worth and we should treasure it.

    without any doubt a deserves a 5/5

    Beauty of words in this stanza speaks for itself. Yes, life's challenges are easier when someone is by our side to give comfort.

    "I once thought love did not exist
    and ripped its pages away from a
    yearning heart, but they floated
    back to me bearing your name which
    never faded in the turbulent sea."

    Each line is amazing. ... particularly but they floated back to me.....never fadeed in the turbulent seas. This is outstanding!

    "Love found a way when I least
    expected it renewing a withered rose,
    ................. "

    Again, a perfect ending to a perfect love poem. Loved the whole poem.
