You think you're standing on a bed of roses
instead a carpet of thorns,
nothing is perfect,love is complicated
easy?it's not plain sailing.

Struggle with lifes highway of passion
battle through the standard of life,
at the end of the day all is real
love and emotions are what you feel,
till the day you die.

An unforgiving piece - a touch of cynicism/delusion at the beginning ending with the hard slap of reality. But I guess the alternative would be numbness and is not a realistic or indeed desirable alternative... a luta continua.

It's true, you haven't lived until you've suffered, but you continue on in hope. Like the link with a bed of roses, then a carpet of thorns Alice.

I too like the idea of the roses and the thorns: yes, it's the same plant afterall and as you point out perhaps it's a question of which you choose to see... Miffle

red A strong piece that needs to be said.

Move on with life and forget the past,even though all would regret the past and love of one that past by.

Nothing worse than a love you lost.

Go forth and reap the next episode of life.

Alice, you're right; love is complicated! The roses always have the thorns. I like 'life's highway of passion'.

Joan.many thanks. Tried telling my daughter in law this.
The young think love is a merry go round and keeps up the fun and passion.
It just developes into a lasting romance for most of us.
