Karen Jones Poet Free verse

You Plant Me

Plant me like a red rose in your heart
Keep me alive there never loose spark
When you speak may words deliver me
In love to trust what you are saying

Kiss my spirit with your thoughts
Transcending touch to bring lavender love
Fill me like an exotic tea kettle
And drink me in your thirst forever

Smile with your eyes when you hear my name
Find a grin in mine at the thought of you
Dance with me despite my two left fuchsia feet
When I am gone make love to my memory

I love how we are so close
That even in dark I know
Just who you are inside and out
You are my soulmate find in me your house.

This heartfelt poem beautifully encapsulates the essence of deep and enduring love, weaving together vivid metaphors and tender emotions.

Karen Jones December 21, 2023 at 12:40 PM It's getting easier because I am letting go and letting God Silent One. I decided to just feel and write and let it bloom. I love that you understand my poetry and you humble me with your words. I almost feel it isn't poetry as it is just my life. Lol Thanks for reading and happy holidays. Hugs
