Poem - A White Rose

Here is a classic Love Poem entitled A White Rose by John Boyle O Reilly

A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

~ John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)

A truly beautiful poem. With your blog, perhaps you can discover the relative truth to what I have written at http://www.clickinlove.com/blog/relationship_advice/creating-love-poems/
I am wondering do people who engage in poetry actually make more effort in a relationship, or are they just in love with with words and not the actions.
