Love Poem: A rose in the gloom

A rose in the gloom

In the depths of shadowed realms they dwell,  
Two minds ensnared by illusion’s spell.
Both tread the same path, their goal in sight,  
Wounded yet resolute, they journey through the night.

In despair, they find solace in each other’s embrace,  
But will life grant them grace, or leave them to chase?  
Together they stride, seeking truth’s light,  
Guiding each other through the endless night.

Amidst the gloom, a flicker of hope ignites,  
Can the extraordinary become routine in their sights?  
Will they find what they seek, or be led astray,  
In life’s capricious game of give and sway?

Love emerges from shadows, a crimson rose in bloom,  
Its tendrils entwining their hearts, dispelling gloom.  
Will they gamble on this fragile bloom’s chance,  
Or watch it wither in life’s relentless dance?

Only the heavens know the answer to this tale,  
As they wander, hearts entwined, love’s light frail.  
But in love’s garden, fate undefined,  
A rose still blooms, defying the tide.
