Blue Jasmine

Can I tell you the road

back to a sunny wish

where hearts embrace the sky,

where nothing stirs to tell of storms,

where I still know you are the one

to hear stories as soul walks,

so tenderly,

a petal's kiss,

torn from the angels

just one second

bliss.

***

I knew your heart would stay,

I heard the magic

falling from the clouds,

it kept you here

closer with each word,

every beginning

in your love

feels like today

a thousandfold

care and heart fragrance

under jasmine gate.

***

I wait for daffodils to speak,

to tell you how my world

has changed the moment we held hands,

I keep your spirit in my prayers

and every time we laugh

waterfall of emotions

runs home,

an ocean island

touching shores.

***

Each pearl shimmering in the sky

reminds me of your heart,

so light,

I feel blue jasmine tugging

on heart ties,

I'll know you beyond mirrors

as time turns into rivers

memories passing heart sunshine

I will keep your soul safe

in mine.

***
