*Within A Branch Of Jasmine*

Within A Branch Of Jasmine

Remember,
the full moon smiled through the marble mirror of our lake
at our very first night.
The summer ripened within a branch of jasmine,
behind an ordinary fence, in one ordinary yard.
Yet, it was magic going on there at midnight.
In my world – way too late.

My life, an useless try of explaining the delay to my impatient soul,
in a denial of feelings for my greedy heart.
Then, all the sudden an another riddle.
How to explain a mess of emotions to them both now?
To them, not accustomed to happiness,
to them trained to live in a poorness of senses.

But,
the full moon held the answer that night
and calmed the eagerness of one hunger.
It is captured forever in a scent of jasmine
within the heart of our home town.

The scent of Jasmine a fragrance to perfume any heart with love in which ever garden it flowers … If those who want to take in its scent breathe deep enough and let it in..

Hm, seems frustrated and there are so many complicated questions being asked. I understand this experientially. Good job capturing those feelings.
