A portrait of a loving heart ( not a sad love poem)

On usual occasions I'd pick a rose
let the ugly thorns shadow
my heart,
but today i feel like a different person,
So i allow the roses beauty
to reflect on our love.

One by one I gently tear off the petals
and watch them silently fall
to the earthy surface
Each one glides down upon angels wings
and I smile
as the beauty
sinks deep into my heart

Melting down my walls of fear
causing tears to erupt like a river
streaming effortlessly from my eyes
taking my breath away.

There's never been such a beautiful image
as the one I'm stuck in now
A portrait of love
painted
upon what once was
a blank wall.

A comfort for what once
were just two empty hearts
A saviour and company
for what was before
just two darkened souls.
