Rose-Amidst-The-Thorns

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

I believe everyone has within that grows,
Love in the form of a gorgeous rose.
But some keep it buried under mountains of debris,
Kept in total darkness, their rose, no one can ever see.
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

Sometimes the prettiest rose can be found among the thorns,
Behind the hurt and pain in the heart the rose adorns.
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

1) As my way is made among the thorns, An inner beauty a rose adorns. A darkness present, tries to hide, Still, the rose blooms bright inside. The thicket of thorns, of brambles too, Meant to discourage my getting through To reach the rose, the sweetness of, To taste, to touch, to feel its Love. There's ice that's formed in places thick, Yet, cause me not to make judgment quick. For a rose to grow needs warmth and care, So more than cold is dwelling there. The blooming rose, its beauty showing, Incites my senses, reminds my knowing, Not easily held are treasures true, Obstacles mount with search in lieu. My intuition that lead me here Detects not even an ounce of fear. My curious nature now in command, Right in sync with my heart's demand. Inside my being there's building suspense, Desire swelling, growing more intense. As now the fragrance of the luring rose, Perfumes the air, captures my nose. Groping blindly through the dark, While prickly thorns leave their mark. The chilling cold, icicle forms, Frozen remnants of painful storms.

2) The terrain is rough, ever daunting, But abortive thoughts aren't haunting, My curious nature, my intuitive heart, Pushes me onward away from the start. Until at last I'm bramble free, A blessed warmth spreads over me. The ice once thick is now all unfroze, And I'm in the presence of a gorgeous rose! As I stand in awe at this sight profound, I know I'm standing on precious ground, For the gorgeous rose glowing before my eyes, Grows from the heart of the soul it beautifies. I longed to touch but I refrained, Such beauty before me mustn't be waned. Should I touch, would it disappear? Just the thought brought me fear. My being possessed with adulation, My heart touched, full transformation, For suddenly I felt consumed by Love And all its magic, made hence, thereof. All pain forgotten through my pursuit, As I savour this delicious fruit. For there is no greater than Love to reap And nothing more worthy than Love to keep. My way I made among the thorns, I found the heart the rose adorns; A journey again I'd gladly take, Because and for the precious sake... Of Love.

3) And now... Through all the pain and all the grief, I still can find such great relief, For inside I see yet a gorgeous rose, Still so beautiful and still it glows. And yes, I feel and know it's true, The beauty that beats inside of you!

1) Why is it do you suppose I will search for one's rose; Brave the brambles and the thorns To seek the rose one's heart, adorns? There was a time when too My rose was deeply hidden. Anyone who dared to enter Was harshly so, forbidden. Then one day a BRAVE soul Dared to take a chance, Determined as they were, Stood firm in their stance...

2) ...The bravest of souls I must say To take on such a feat, But through the thicket dense, They denied defeat. When at last they reached My guarded, precious rose, The rest is history now, No more hidden as it glows. But should my rose be harmed, Cause my heart to pain, Beware of serious damage, The brambles still remain!

"Some people hide their rose to protect their heart,
Especially if they've had before, their heart torn apart."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Candle-Of-Love

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

We humans are with our hearts, the chosen Candle Holders.
Whether our Candle's Flame burns brightly or if it smolders,
Is within our own control since God gave us all free will
To choose the Light of Love or its opposite to fulfill.

When we burn the Candle Of Love,
The Flame of Love then grows,
As within our hearts, the Light of
With brilliance brightly glows.

The Flame of Love thrives on
The aromas born of Love in whole
And once our heart's Candle is lit,
Likewise shines our mind and soul.

If we fan our Flame with
Love’s aromas, sweet,
No amount of darkness
Can ever our Light defeat.

Kindness and Compassion,
Honesty and Forgiveness,
Humility in abundance,
Exhibit aroma richness.

A Candle Of Love will not melt,
Instead shall grow in size,
As the Flame of Love burns
Brighter and so, intensifies.

Normally with other candles,
That burn out unable to rekindle,
The Candle Of Love is lasting
Not ever meant to dwindle.

As long as there is Magic, Love,
Kept mixed in our Candle’s Wax,
The Flame will burn always,
Bright and steady without lax.

The more we burn our Candle,
The more we fan our Flame,
The more brilliant is our Light,
To shine for Love, proclaim.

The more we burn our Candle
The more intense is our Flame,
To more Candles of Love incite
To ignite and burn the same.

So keep your wick aflame,
With your Candle waxed in Love
And keep your Flame fanned
With the sweet aromas of.

There is inside everyone
Of Love, a Candlestick,
But the Candle Of Love won't burn,
If we fail to light the wick!

"Whether or not Love commenced transforms into true,
All depends upon how much is invested by the hearts of two."

"It's easy to Love the good in one and the joy to us they bring. 
During the blissful times when with joy our hearts will sing.
But when one hurts the other, causing grief and dismay,
And still the Love remains through it and in spite of anyway,
This is the Love we long for, true, surreal, and sublime,
The True Love that endures all, withstands the test of time."

But few reach this level of True Love most have in their quest,
Because so few are truly willing to of all themselves invest.
Partial effort or a part of themselves is not what is enough,
For whatever is needed must be given to and for True Love.

With all the Elements of Love, there can no shortage be,
Like Trust, Forgiveness, Compassion dressed in Humility.
In True Love there is no place for egos and their pride,
Because egos breed the negatives, inviting a divide.

Love is being kind, affectionate, about the other caring more
Than for thyself and True Love keeps no record or no score.
True Love is a journey that two souls travel on together,
Where two hearts remain connected through all kinds of weather.

Both hearts must care equally and Love each other with respect,
Domination, possessiveness, and jealousy, all these reject.
Neither heart is more important for both compliment the whole,
Both hearts are invaluable in body, mind, and soul.

True Love begins with Love, a spark of igniting the fire,
But only Love that grows and deepens won’t ever then expire,
Transforming into True Love few couples find obtainable,
For although Love’s present, the Love’s so often unsustainable.

When some Elements of Love are missing or in short supply
And/or Love’s opposites are allowed to invade and amplify,
The all that most expect and if not willing to give the same,
Most then come up short without True Love as theirs to claim.

The True Love Journey, an elusive journey, most all hope to find,
But few are willing to truly invest all, their heart, soul, and mind.
For this reason few find True Love after Love’s initial spark,
Because the Flame of Love burns out before they can upon, embark.
