You are that rose

You are that rose, my darling,

blooming petals, in the garden,

diffusing your perfume, in the air,

charming hearts, with its allure. 

Being blessed, by heavenly designer,

you have garnered, many admirers,

yet, allowing few, into your circles,

for, you stand out, much higher. 

You are that rose, my darling,

the protagonist, of this chapter,

and we, accompanied your story,

filling gaps, as side characters. 

But, was it reality?

Or I was making things up 

and, you held my hands,

told me to shut up. 

For, I too was in the garden,

being connected, in same soil,

was so smitten, by your beauty,

That I ignored, my own fragrance. 

And your scent, evoked delicate thoughts,

conveying messages, feelings harbored, 

while your velvety touch, soft & tender,

shared the story, of our love...

In our losses, we learn

In our losses, we learn,

to be calm, or have reactions,

from the distress of setbacks,

finding faults, where we lacked,

bringing discords in relations. 

For, we were pained, being wronged,

our anger boils, have outbursts,

words flies, left, right and center,

involving others, in the crossfire,

creating irreversible damages. 

In the losses, we learn,

we aren't a slave, of our emotions, 

facing unpleasant episodes of life,

needs maturity, in handling strife,

born out of hatred & resentments. 

For, situations never remains same,

but bonds broken, difficult to mend,

so, we need to pause, not rush feelings,

and be rational, in our dealings,

to find solutions, to the problem. 

In our losses, we learn,

the path of acceptance, & reconciliation, 

braving the weathers, overcoming obstacles,

to reach the stage, we have desired,

while being in control, of our situations.
