The heart like the rose, flutters in the wind and falls apart, but it is in the crushing of the rose which releases it's full and excuisite nature. At least this is what I believe and your poem expressed so well the nature of the rose.

Without a doubt, Richard Lee Orey is a valiant romantic soul of a dying breed. Blessed is she to behold such a man. My only hope is someday a man would make me swoon as much!

And the lovely rose with the delicate shade of peach in your picture, brings the poem to life. You can almost smell that rich perfume.

How to know the honest heart
Would blush the lovely rose?
A teardrop fell in shame and guilt,
No blush did it propose.
The thought of a red rose blushing red - how much more intense can love get? Reminded me of the line, I think from Isaiah, 'whiter than the snow'
And a love to share? This is the one emotion within our being that locks two individuals together. It's opposite separates.
A prime Aberdeen Angus beef of a poem!
