An Ode To Jasmine

I behold you as the solitary flower On the ends of a branch-let Ah, your fragrance travels miles Gratifying even the dull insects! You are a naive pinnate white Dazzle in your sparkling beauty I know not where I am now I bid you my earnestly bow! I love you for your delicacy Enthralling my soul with sheer ecstasy I hear something that you whisper Very benignly in my ear! I am so temporary and short lived Please don't pluck me, don't be rigid I can't move as I am unmoved Just care me in my solitude! Oh, my lovely jasmine I learn a lot from your delicate life Take my flying kiss in sublime mood I will bethink you in my solitude! Copyright @Dillip K Swain,27 February,2023
