Don’t speak of love if fear still shows The bold alone may claim the rose. Its beauty burns, its thorns will bite, But fire is kissed in fearless night.
I read this on tumbler an it says "he who dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose" then - I made this poem to say that love isn’t soft and safe; it’s fire and risk, and only those unafraid to be hurt can fully embrace its intensity.
