The poem "Roses In Bloom" by Linette Rabsatt strikes a chord with my own experiences in love and longing. The speaker’s deep yearning for their beloved reminds me of the moments I've felt that same intensity—whether it was during my years in the Marine Corps, where distance and duty created a longing that was palpable, or the quieter times when I’ve reflected on relationships past. The vivid imagery and powerful metaphors evoke memories of the raw, honest emotions I've navigated as a father and a man striving to connect deeply. I appreciate the poem's authenticity, even if some explicit lines might feel a bit overwhelming to others. Overall, it’s a beautifully crafted piece that resonates with the complexities of love, reflecting the very essence of what it means to truly feel.
