The Jasmine flower and the little lady in white
The fallen white flowers appear
On moonlit nights, like glittering pearls
Scattered across the ground so white
Its heady wet fragrance to bring out
Nostalgic thoughts of lovely times
The freshness of the jasmine bloom
Her delicate fingers pick the fallen white flowers to string
A bead of flowers for her hair
The little fair damsel sweet as her smile can be
Dressed in sparkling white attire
Soon discovers its mystic powers
Is it the little maiden’s musk?
Or the scent of the flowers strong at dusk
With kohl filled eyes, her wide eyes stares
This sets his heart to flutter in the church
So swiftly he aims at her golden heart.
And soon makes her his blushing bride
When they fleetingly meet to become but one
The jasmine willingly adorned their lives
The tender star like milky flowers
Dance in tune to lovers’ delight
To share a life as man and wife
A silent witness to this moment
Quietly the flowers stare and exude sweet scents
Long after the years went by
The maiden now old, but she yearned
For the scent of the flower and the essence of its beauty
The freshness of jasmine
Brings memories of her youth
Lingers in the longings of the lonesome lady
The joys of the carefree days a distant past
The laughter of her children ringing in her ears
But the feelings all so sweet in her mind,
As the fragrance of the jasmine, it stayed
Like the jasmine one day she slipped away
My jasmine flower is now an angel in white”

with charm, and grace, and eloquence.
