Bending Rose
Karyn Indursky
Men are friends
loaning eyes of compassion
and grow like a rose
to be held, cherished, nurtured
to become a best friend.
The rose takes his sunlight
to make you smile,
but holds you close when it rains
until budding hearts
exert a petal soft kiss.
With your union
you become a relationship garden
to grow, nurture and flourish
into a bouquet of engagement.
As a bouquet your loves sings
through colors of emotions
while your actions find
him on bending knee
for your engagement
and stroll down the valley of iris'
to be husband and wife.
