I liked the way you added two stanzas that consisted only of two lines, it workes well and made it different.

I think the whole "rose" compared with love thing, especially in poetry, is too overdone and cliche.

however, your last couple of verses:

The rhythmic beating heart awakens.
The pulse races.
Deep red petals spill
from the eye of the rose.
Fulfilled. Reformed. Reborn.

-these lines eliminated my judgment toward the topic you chose to write about. you presented the rose/love comparison very well, and i applaud this piece.

well written.

I dont know why why more people haven't had taken notice to you. 1 vote
? this deserves more. 5/5

"Before the last petal falls,
A star is born"
Wow that reminded me of a song I know
I love the word "rhythmic" such a wonderful word, and the idea again is original, your head must be overflowing with imagintion

Nice sentiment.

The only thing I would suggest here is making the third stanza stand out more by chaning the punctuation.

The rose is nurtured,
by whispered words of kindness.
Flattering and powerful.
Strength. Support:
A beautiful breath is shared.

I read this stanza and thought this needs more strength, then I was pleasantly surprised to see you had gone on to do it in the last stanza.

This is pleasing to see. You done got talent!
