a rose is the mourning heart

the rose here signifies a dying heart (being metaphorical for love)

a rose is the mourning heart.
sweet perfuming condolences 
settled on satin crimson petals--
what a memorial memento like a
strike by it's thorn? 
to see it's dramatic bow:
a tilt, a humble reckoning of it's
withering-- accepting an end
