As Harsh As A Rose

As harsh as a rose;
as soft as storms obey;
as different as many goes
each passing, slipping day.

That changing temperment
might vary by the hour.
First comes softly spent
then might grow very sour.

How be it that you can draw
all of passions desire.
First, comes beyond a flaw,
yet belated in muddy mire.

Oh, love might be chance-
on hearts it just might prey
but, what's better than romance
to stir the soul each day.
