Jasmines For You

FREE VERSE

If only you knew, if only you knew

When I arrived in the pitch-black darkness,
when the moon was hidden behind those fluffy cumulonimbuses,
did you feel my presence near you?
did the winds caressing the strings of your soul,
carry the scent of my arrival?

And when I silently walked out, waiting, waiting long,
for the moon to shine, alas,
the moon rose, embracing the night, but after I left,
but did you, did you see that flower,
lying near your balcony, the fresh smell emanating from it,
and did a streak of smile strike through your face,
when you guessed who left that bunch,
of tantalizingly smelling jasmine?
