Maybe they wonder how this soft man soothes this woman so full of anger, fire and acid.
With what he uses to dampen her flames.
To wrangle her into submission.
As others failed to do.
How this rose-bush woman puts away her thorns to hold him.
To cook meals with shared I love yous and forevers.
They wonder how he stole her spirit.
Instead of maybe asking if he didn’t.
if he just gave her the warmest strongest hug.
And shared in the tears that quenched the flames.
