Brenda Victoria Northeast Poet Free verse

My Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon;
Sweet suitor, Holy wind;
come blow upon my heart;

My heart has drifted
let your fragrance flow again
Let us sip together the pure wine;
that I may feel again your tender embrace
that I might be forever at your side;
still my hearts cry; my longing.

My Loves pain;
the thorns, the scars

Loves perfect gift!
Sweet fragrant Rose of Sharon:
Perfect Love,
written with loves pure heart,
on fleshy tables of my heart.

Your heart that bled
Love that cried,
My Love never to deny;
A Love that waits.... for me!

My beloved stands without;
Arise my heart I say
unlock the door,
Open, see,
the blood stains
on the door

Let Your Blood
wash away 
my sins of youth,
loves exacting toll;
her fragrant petals
her bed of thorns.

I am washed my beloved;
Clean, white, like the milk
that flows down mountainside
like a herd of sheep on Gilead.
My heart skips like a lamb
in springtime on fields of green;

Nourished and loved
nurtured forever at Your side;
My father, my Mother;
My Savior, My Lord,
My King, Holy Suitor,
Your Bloom, Your fragrance;
                                                                  

My sweet Rose Of Sharon. 

                                                           Brenda V Northeast 18/April/05

Andrea Dietrich February 7, 2012 at 5:58 PM Gosh, we had a contest here many months ago requiring us to do a poem based on certain chapters in Psalms. I think it was Psalms, and I remember a lot of the imagery I found to use was similar to that presented here. were you here back when we did that contest? It would have fit the criteria splendidly!! Brenda Victoria Northeast February 9, 2012 at 1:31 PM No I didn't see the comp. and I am not sure when I joined. I would have to go back into my history to look- I know I am very recent on here. I wrote this poem in 2005. Thank you for your kind comments Andrea, Love and blessings, Bren : )
