The Situation Poet Ode

Jasmine

I know a girl named Jasmin
And I want to tell her 
How sweet she has been 

These few years that 
I've admired her 
For the things she said 
That inspired her 

A moth too close to 
The flames at times 
Never foolish or vain 
Or full of lies 

I respect her for not 
Falling for my lines 
But even so we've had 
Our good and bad times 

At times I can tell I have a 
Piece of her heart 
I'll always be looking 
For that tiny spark 

But this in return 
I secretly give 
A place in my heart 
Where she will always live

Joe Maverick May 30, 2013 at 3:26 PM I can feel there is quite a bit of emotion in this it strikes a note with human fallibilty and aspiration tinged with tegret..'
