Realistic Love Poems

Realistic Love Poems

Roses have thorns,

Violets don’t last.

Do you think we can make it

Considering our past?

Roses need water,

Violets do too.

I thirst for affection,

But it won’t come from you.

Roses in dozens,

And violets in clumps,

Will ask for forgiveness

And smooth out the bumps.

Violets feed larvae

Roses get beetles

We nag at each other

With our barbs and our needles.

Roses mean love

Violets, fertility.

Your expectations of me

Strain human ability.

The petals of roses

And the violet’s flowers

Speak to me of

This love that is ours.
