A Gardeners Gentle Loving

Missing image
 

Wisdom grew through the thickets and manure

as strength traveled the petals of despair

Dumbest of man thought he had this loves cure

stripping her self worth from total repair

 

Weeds shot up and strangled this tender rose

and rapidly life drained leaving her limp

A strong gardener never turns up his nose

although this rose battered, he sets to primp

 

With a spring of love he showers this rose

delivering a warmth she's never felt

Feeding her strength and the radiance grows

as she rises to the promises dealt

 

A Gardener mended this beauties self worth

and defeated the flames of hell on earth

 

Soft petals lay soft

as the core glistens with dew

loves invitation

 

A gardener's breathless

while the pinks part with sweet ease

exposing loves flow

 

~he inhales her scent~

 

Eyes appreciating

the tender movements of want

as they beckon him

 

Trials of the past fade

when the heat reaches new heights

as fingertips explore

 

~each golden petal~

 

Soft flames ignite them

while caressing hidden curves

the bud catches fire

 

Arching to his touch

she allows his love to reign

sweet deliverance

 

~A Gardeners gentle loving~

 

Author notes

Yes, A twist from me..Manure to Gentle Loving.... Oh well.

    This is a true masterpiece as the sonnet is followed by the chain haiku. It's the message that's lovely, it's both raw and soft, sensual and passionate. I may be wrong but I see the weeds and the flowers as people here. Bravo Tory!

    Love,
    Amera♥

    A wonderful and exclusive write that only you could make so tenderly beautiful!

    The imagery is so lovely...the sensuality is splendid.

    You blossom so gently and with such precious wonder.

     

     

    Love you~

    I think you might have been stretching the 'no erotica' rule a little bit there and also the aspect about not dwelling too much on the sensual side of love but never mind. I did like the rose metaphor and the idea of the gardener bringing her back to life, because it is an important part of love that someone can make another person really begin to believe in themselves. A complex and beautiful poem.

      The beginning self explantory a woman struggling witht he past being beaten by man then in turn a true heart of a man will not disregard the past but nurture her from now to future..Tending to her needs..in the end, they come together as love should be and making love ever gently. The way it should be done.
      Glad you liked it love, thank you for your comments

    Very well done honey, I love the Sonnet followed by Haiku. No gardener worth anything would discard a bruised beauty, but would only nurture it the harder for its resiliency. Twist? where? I just see Tory, it's no longer a surprise. Love you baby... Scott

      Thank you, Started off wanting the people to see flowers as people, dont nurture themselves they need a helping hand, one who understands and can overlook the flaws of what was to what can be.
      Always love your comments thank you for leaving a smile.

      Love ya too

      Tory
