The Scent of Jasmines

She kissed me and said
"You smell of jasmines"
I smiled...
I had nothing on me...
I was at my happiest then...

A trickling of star lights
in the darkest of nights

Tendrils weaving through
the twilight breeze

The sweet sussuring
of an angel

A wisp of love's memory

Blossom bereft of light

The innocence and fragility
of a woman
