Hymn: In Her
Hold close! Thou shrine of sacred bloom —
Our secret oath — soft-tightly guard!
Till diamonds — rosy pierce — thy — heart —
And rubies flaming sow thy womb!

I know this kind of poem is not everyone's "cup of tea" but I'd love feedback on this!
I wrote it for a story I hope to publish soon. When that happens, I'll post a link below for readers who'd like to read the poem in that context. Here, however, it feels most appropriate to let the poem stand on its own. (Ever the attention ho, I'm publishing it as a poem in the regular way as well.)
