 ~*~ The Jasmine within him ~*~ He came today With a smile Shining through all the miles Handed me a jasmine He picked up in his way I took it and pinned it To my collar Close to my heart He looked at it Then said “Pray that you and I Would never be a part That I would be even closer To your heart Than that jasmine Sitting there” I smiled wishing to tell him He should have no fear That he indeed resides there Even when he seems far He gave me a silent tender look And said You are a jasmine too… A jasmine That books Can be written to tell of you A jasmine!…sir? Oh…yes… A lovely flower That needs special care Small and delicate Just like you are You are the most delicate person I’ve seen by far A lofty creature Coming from a distant star They say that a white Jasmine Is an amiable symbol Given to an amiable soul Your soul stands Erect and tall Even if it is clad in an attire So small He got closer Bent his head To smell the scent Of the Jasmine Held in me He sighed And whispered You are truly The Jasmine I long to hold I no longer know If what I smelled Was the Jasmine scent Or that of you I breathe you Every day With the scent of the Jasmine Covered with dew Don’t you know? That I’ve always seen you so The tender Soft white delicate Petals Have always told me So much Of you The tender touch The soft hush The innocent heart White and shining from the start Every delicate word Or move you make Which always causes my heart to shake And every day Before I sleep I bring a jasmine To keep Right there between my hands It has taught me something I now understand That you are not simply To be kept within my hand But within My every breath And every cell in me In my soul You will always be The jasmine Right there Within me… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [This message has been edited by MyEnchanted_Melody (edited 11-27-2001).] |

Just when I thought I had been spoiled enough tonight to some very special poetry, along comes this wonderful work of passion. Such beautiful words and thoughts conveyed in a superb writing from beginning to end. I truely enjoyed this one and will be saving it in my library for future enjoyment. I applaud your talent in both style and presentation. |

This is fantastically beautiful! I love the smell of jasmine, and the poem and the picture put that sweet scent right into my room. What a great poem. A keeper, to freshen the room with its scent each time I read. |

...and the eyes reflect both the soul and what they see... I've never been one big on parties, but this looks most enchanting. Shall I bring my Flamenco guitar? -MVS "Your focus determines your reality." --Qui-Gon from The Phantom Menace |
