Innocent Flower

Innocent flower 
Of a jasmine tree
Blossoming in summer
Imparting joy as a mother
As an antidote 
As a shower
What secret have you?
A secret should remain a secret 
In both weakness and power
A secret is like a high tower 
Leading to a secret garden 
Locked for hateful hearts 
Innocent and pained flower
I here neither claim nor color
You should be proud for being part of that garden 
And you are so beautiful and sweet to discover
Let scoundrels wonder 
For a moment and hush for an hour.
