Two Roses in a Vase

*I apologize for my recent lack of posting. Today, I have a poem for you (the first I have ever writ) that I wrote for my Wife.

Two roses in a vase,
stand quietly face to face.
Their beauty resonates in the place,
sending love though all space.

A symbol of time's fragile hands,
and endless journeys to faraway lands.
The joy of open sands
and the despair of forgotten plans.

The brightness of a star's light,
in the empty darkness of true night.
Fear of a foolish plight,
and the blindness of true love's sight.

A beacon of hope,
as carefully woven as silken rope.
The fearsome desire to elope,
matched with the battle of the uphill slope.

Two lovers in embrace,
together their hands gently laced.
Their hearts desperately try to keep pace
with the beauty of two roses in a vase.
