Transient Jasmine
I knew jasmine that you won’t stay for long
Love is always a transient crimson cloud
Rain robs it of all its bud-blooming song
The silence is too deep to cry aloud
Just day dreams under a painful grey shroud
Lovely touches too don’t come to stay on
Nor the thrush when its breast is in frisson
Now the spine in spin as dimples cave in
A little later all the larks are gone
Empty rib cage of the bore lungs within
