The Rose of Love

\nI think that love is like a desert rose,
\nSo delicate yet strong enough to thrive.
\nIn barren soil no other beauty grows
\nBut such a rose can make a man alive.<\/p>\n
Responsive to a gardener’s tender touch,
\nRewarding to a man who spends the time,
\nA single bloom that offers you so much,
\nEach moment with a rose will be sublime.<\/p>\n
The desert rose is also passion’s flower;
\nIts subtle scent will lead a man astray.
\nAvoid the thorns and you will feel the power,
\nThe desert rose will always point the way.<\/p>\n
The gift of love is beautiful and rare —
\nA desert rose won’t grow just anywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
