Caress her

Caress the silent soul
when in the depths it lies
bitten by the wind
of harsh and hurtful fires

The logs and twigs
of careless words
bruise the yellow rose
the depth who knows

Bring love, bring care
bring tenderness too
hold her tight
as tight as glue

No words can reach
no speech so fair
but hold her close
and love her there

Words can fail
as people do
yet arms of love
stay strong and true

Hug her till
the tears cease
and wind and fires
give way to peace

As in the comment above and in your poem, words can fail. I have to say I'm somewhat at a loss for words to describe this beautiful, loving poem.

It's just... exquisite rose rose rose

This is such a tenderest ever tribute to love, such a strong advice from a poet who knows the surest recipe for making love enduring and time-, and fail-proof. I am happy this poem popped up on the bar so we could enjoy it again. Many thanks to you, dear poet! bouquet
