Back to school shopping, Saturday at the mall Stopped to rest and leaned against the florist’s wall Then I smelled the pure sweet summer smell Roses and Jasmine - I knew them both so well. I closed my eyes and could see your face Smiling at me in that long ago place Though no longer young, our passion was real You were the one who taught me to feel Remembering now that summer of sin Marriage forgotten, thoughts rushing in We bathed in the light of tropical nights Taking our pleasure in sweet love’s delights I was flying home to tell him I must leave Having finally found love, as you led me to believe Then I found the note you had put in my purse I read it quickly, then sighed with a curse Jasmine blossoms floated from the page You said we should remember to act our age We weren’t young and foolish, you explained Our affair was ended before I deplaned I opened my mind, pushed those thoughts away To remember the pain that I felt that day Knowing life is not full of roses it seems I must forget you and those Jasmine dreams. |

Oh, I want to cry. This is so sad. Beautifully penned, but sad. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

PdV, this is a beautiful story. One that happens more than it should. A sad tale that you have told so tenderly. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

I really liked this...it was Devine. Hee Hee. I bet you get tired of hearing that, sorry I couldn't help myself.  I think this is great, especially since it is not from personal experience. I can't even write when the story is my own!  Darnit I cant get the smilllee right : [This message has been edited by Apachecat906 (edited 10-10-2001).] |

I loved the poem. I think we all have lived or dream of just this thing. I think that a poem like this unites all women. Well done.  |
