Intact Blossoms

 

Intact Blossoms

Innocence and selflessness, a heart so pure,
With a past to bear, a story to endure.
Both light and shadow, a complex blend,
Good and bad deeds, on life's path they wend.

Love, the sweetest peril, a paradox complete,
Dangerous and lovely, emotions bittersweet.
In its warm embrace, a safe haven found,
Trust bloomed anew on solid ground.

Reciprocal and pure, love's flame aglow,
Yet pain arrived, like winds that blow.
In a blink, it vanished, dreams scattered away,
Sleepless nights and tears, darkness held sway.

Impatient and numb, trauma's icy grasp,
Shaking and crying, as time slowly passed.
A difficult phase, a storm within the soul,
A laughter-masked face, a heart in turmoil.

Love persisted still, unwavering and true,
But the time had come, a tough choice to do.
Letting go, like releasing a captive dove,
A painful step, to reclaim a life to love.

Just as the journey seemed to mend its way,
A proposal extended, emotions in disarray.
Lost once more, confusion in the air,
An emotional tempest, a heart laid bare.

Will you break, like the delicate Japanese pot,
Or will your spirit stand strong, endure once more?
Stagnant or flowing, strength or frailty,
Moving ahead or aside, seeking clarity.

With resilience in your core, you'll navigate,
Through love's labyrinth, face what's at stake.
Stand tall, heart unyielding, through joy and strife,
For within you burns the flame of life.

In the cycle of emotions, you'll find your grace,
With each rise and fall, you'll embrace the chase.
From stagnant waters, you'll flow a new,
Strong and unwavering, a love story true.
