Fragile Heart

Fragrant like the rose in bloom,
Reluctant is the wild stallion,
Amongst thy flowers in the spring,
Gleefully skipping like a child,
Illustrious thou art that fragile heart, 
Liken the swan compared to geese,
Elegant, graceful, splendid and kind.

Hearing your heart beat soft in rhyme,
Eagerly it races on lovers approach,
Artfully elusive, beyond response,
Reddish hue, your face blushes too,
Timid I see, your heart pumps free.

Thanks Andrea, Whether or not it scores doesn't concern me really, I just enjoy learning new forms ATM, and I found this form interesting, San Woo did a double!!! Now that's a challenge, hers inspired me to have a go, but not a double, Haha, I was very impressed. /|\

Loved it first word to last, but those first two lines, are moving and set the tone.
