A single red rose
late summer bloom
dare I touch it
my heart quivers
for that one love
I never touched
grasping the thorns
of passion and life,
yearning to discover
the heart of the rose
our imperfections
inhaling the beauty
of us

The yearning and pain goes away once the heart is accepted by another heart!

I seldom have the courage to write about roses, which always evoke Rilke for me. But you've nailed the feeling-- "dare I touch it"
