Our Life together is like a vibrant, yet fragile rose.

You are the beautiful Blossom that sets atop the stem.

I am the Thorns which hide in the leafy shadows.

Basking in the spring time Sun, we are nourished by the same Vine.

The loveliness of your bloom invites and entices the wanderer's eye.

In verdant disguise I remain steadfast as a refuge, yet forgotten.

The wanderer approaches, deftly eluding the thorny snare.

The Blossom is plucked from the Vine.

The Thorns wither in the searing Sun.

Apart from each other, we die.

Great poem, roybatty. Even made me look up the word, "verdant!" Glad to hear you and your wife are back together along with the 5 cats!
