The Breeze of Jasmine

I guess with all that is about,
a true love is without a doubt,
the most elusive thing we seek.
Finding the search exhausting
one that leaves us week.

Our hearts pour out to the world
asking why it is so wrong.
Why is it this way?
Why is there no heart song?

We seek to find a whispering word
from all our friends.
Something to hold onto in this world,
with it’s twist and bends.

But like the breeze
blowing through a jasmine bush.
Running head long
into our senses the essence we lush.

The fragrance is beyond compare,
it brings us tidings of love in the air.
We reach out to catch it but in it’s nature,
it’s leaves us in anguished despair.

Passing us buy a transitory thought
it can endure only what it may be!
Remember it in the passing
is our eternity.
What it is not.


 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

the elusivity of long-lasting love frustrates us as the scent of a flower lasts a mere instant as we pass by, or as we imagine butterfly-wing-dust settling upon our eyelids as we dream of our passions.

Nice words to think about. Thanks

Joel,
I love reading this one.  I am wordless on how to describe it.  I really like this one, I'm sending it to a friend.

Joel~
Loved this poem of yours....Thats the thing about our senses, once we have experienced the smell, taste and touch of something we never forget it. So the same with love, it may leave us but is never forgotten because those senses never forget.
