We dance in the fragrance of jasmine
sands of time dance quickly by
two grains of sand..you and I
pretending, a sandcastle in the sky

A king and a queen..you.. i adore
cheek to cheek, across hourglass floor..
only reflection of you in my eyes
In mirror of time..we hypnotize

We Softly kiss ..as time goes by
before tides wash away our love
we grasp each grain of sand
cherishing before coming to an end

Incence of jasmine burns to ashes
you my king disappears from my arms
walls of the sandcastle fall down
and time disappears without a sound

Reflection of love forever in our eyes
bound by the memory of our kiss
upon the tides our love will forever dance
under the spotlight of a jasmine moon

Victoria, a romantic, yet somewhat haunting read. Haunting in its loss of love, yet magical in its image. Very nice.
