Seed of Love

My little jewel of honour
Wrapped in the soil of my heart
Sown by my beloved
Infinitesimal it was
With time grown a tree
The plump fruit ripened
But now it seems a dream
A leaf drops after another
Soon the branches empty
My beloved nourishing halted
The farther she goes
The drier the tree
And to nought my little seed of honour

I like this poem- like an unrequited love? I like the imagery 'little jewel of honour wrapped in the soul of my heart.' Keep the ink flowing, nice read!
