Clasp my love around your neck, Wear my heart on your finger. My soul will be your pendant: I live to adorn you — You're the precious one.

The speaker imagines love as jewelry—necklace, ring, pendant—turning intimacy into something worn close to the body and displayed to the world. The metaphors suggest devotion that is both protective (“clasp…around your neck”) and self-effacing (“I live to adorn you”), with the beloved positioned as the true “precious one.” At the same time, the imagery hints at the risks of possessiveness: to be worn and to “adorn” can imply being treated as an object. The poem’s power lies in that tension between tender gift-giving and total self-surrender, using the language of ornament to dramatize how love can feel like both treasure and captivity.
