Not So Alone
Into the night I walked alone
With a breeze so friendly to come along
So silent it was when passing by
That a rhythm of music danced with the pupil of my eye
Creepy sounds from allies approached
Shaking my existence with fright that poached
Deep inside me, forcing my interiors to tremble
Yet, they stand still and resist the crumble
Memories accompanied my walk as well
Reminding me of the times that dwell
Yet some are so good and joyful
While others fill them visions so dull
A smile begins to appear on my face
As my cheeks begin to get squashed near the ear's base
I blush when I remember those cheerful, happy memories
Those pieces that built my history
But, life isn't filled with just happiness and joy
But also the sound of an exploding cry
Although they are beasts that bewitch my smile
Casting a spell to turn it into a far distant mile
Destroying it into a heart breaking frown
Building a strong foundation of scowl
These, my friend, are the smell of Yasmine
That is so pure and clean
Pure as the wide open sea
Clean as the bright nourishing hazel tree
And so, I am not so alone
For I am engulfed with my friends that are not on the phone
But in my book of memories
Always there beside me even in agony...
Yasmine: Arabic word for the Jasmine flower
